plantings usually should be more formal, cleaner 
and smaller than plantings in the country. They 
can be given more attention. Because of these 
points, Irish Juniper is a fine little tree for a city 
lawn, Hemlock a more spreading and most grace¬ 
ful evergreen for a roomier country yard. Norway 
Maples and Cut-leaved Beech are good at city 
homes, and good in country, too; but in the country 
the Linden and Sugar Maple also are in place. 
You may plant for a very little money, or you 
may spend a great deal. Of course, the cost of 
planting depends on what you select. Some trees 
are harder to grow in the nurseries than others, 
and are worth four or five times as much by the 
time they are ready for you. Check up the cost 
as you make out your list. The cost will run 
about as we have shown in the four sketches. 
The sketch on page 22 shows a medium-sized 
country planting, while those on pages 26 and 28 
show large and medium-sized city plantings. 
FORMS WHICH PLANTING MAY TAKE 
“Why didn’t I think of that when I planted?’’ 
This is a question many people ask themselves 
after their trees are set, and they see some 
Just a suggestion for making a side yard look its best. Twenty feet of 
Privet hedge, using big plants that will give immediate effect, a Box plant, 
two Grape-vines, a Clematis and a Wistaria. The total cost of plants to 
produce the result shown, is only $4.25.
