TREES for Shade and Beauty 
rj*=> REES should always add beauty to their surround- 
I CJ ings; and if possible, they should be placed 
V-X where their shade will be enjoyed. 
A garden seat or terrace will be more pleas¬ 
ant, if it is shaded by a tree in the afternoon. Or a porch, 
or window may be made more inviting by this protec¬ 
tion from the summer sun. A little investigation at the 
right time on a sunny day will help you determine just 
where a tree should be planted to cast the desired shade; 
having in mind always the shape and size of the tree. 
Plant your parking trees so that they will frame the 
house rather than block it from view.
