Our suggestion for planting at a large home in country town or on farm 
About twelve evergreens, 12- to 24-inch sizes, Spruces, Pines, Firs, Arbor- 
vitass, or Hemlocks, mixed, and a dozen Maples or other shade trees about 
9 feet high. This planting should have more shade trees, such as long 
lines along lanes or roads. Two hundred yards of Privet hedge are shown, 
made with 18-inch plants. The entire lot of trees and plants would cost 
about $25.

character of the place to be planted, the'available

CHARACTER OF THE PLACE TO BE 
PLANTED 
When you select trees and shrubs for planting, 
remember that your location, and the kind of 
place you have, call for certain types. Only a few

suited to your conditions results at least in misfits; 
but if you plant kinds adapted to your place they 
will thrive and make you happy for years and years. 
Take the climate and moisture conditions, for 
instance. In Delaware, Eastern Maryland and 
Virginia, you may plant with perfect satisfaction 
such odd shade and ornamental trees and shrubs 
as Catalpa Bungei, English Yew, Bay trees, Mag¬ 
nolias, etc., as well as the standard Maples, Ash, 
Linden, Plane and Walnut. Even the tender kinds
