“Trees are more than trees in art. They are elements in land¬ 
scape; forms and masses of varying color and texture. As stone 
and brick to the architect so are trees to the landscape architect 
—material with which to construct a composition.’’—Fletcher 
Steele.

The residence should be framed by trees near or just beyond 
the ends and a little to the front, so one may view the house 
between and beyond them. A few tall growing trees to the rear 
will break the skyline and relieve the harshness of the roof 
lines. In addition to beauty, trees add to our comfort by shield¬ 
ing the house from the heat of the noonday sun. 
Lombardy Poplar, excellent as an accent tree and for 
screen plantings 
When planting, remove any unnecessary weak limbs and 
shorten some of the others. The central shoot or leader is not 
usually pruned unless necessary to make the head more dense. As 
higher limbs develop gradually remove the lower ones to the 
height desired. Plant firmly, and see that they do not suffer for 
lack of water, especially the first year.
