PLANT i N G 
I remember when I sold i/\ K i/^r7 
my first nursery order !AM\|^lL 
4S years ago. It was to a 
retired farmer. He wanted a 
variety of plants, planted 
in straight rows on each 
side of the sidewalk, with 
a flower hed on each side.. 
His lawn was far too full 
of shade trees to allow 
fer natural developeraent 
of size and heauty as they 
grow older. "Qb proud of 
his order for Crimson Eamhlers 
and Cut Leaf Weeping Birch. 
Later demands were for 
Spirea V.H. (Bridal Wreath) 
and it was common to see 
them alone along foundation 
of home after home. 
In later years we see a 
Variation in foundation 
plantings of shruhs with 
an ocasional evergreen or 
evergreen and shruh nlanting.

pleasing effect. A fpont 5idewal\< PlA\YTINq| 
On narrow lots 
the Mugho Pines may he used alone. Planting 
on terraces, one must always set deeper.

The style change to the 
use of dwarf evergreens in 
planting in later years 
Was not all on account of 
style alone, hut like cars, 
clothes, furniture ete.came 
about because it increased 
heauty and efficiency also. 
It started by many homes 
finding that the shruhs 
formerly planted were not 
wisely selected and out¬ 
grew their space before 
they reached their full 
growth and heauty and had 
to he replaced, whereas the 
dwarf and even the conmon 
evergreens grew slower, and 
thus were beautiful longer 
and green the whole year. 
In making a selection of 
either shruhs or evergreens 
he sure that you know the 
final height and width that 
each will attain.

Rl GUT 
Plant lawn trees to frame the veiw of your house as shown on 
the picture marked (right), and not ahead of the house so as 
to screen it out as marked (wrong). It will look better. 
Smaller lots should have smaller trees such as Mt. Ash and 
these should he planted diagonally from the comer of the hou^e 
about 18 feet whereas larger lawns and larger trees, 24 feet 
would he better. If your architectural lines of your house is 
horizontal then use trees of a spreading habit. If tall and 
narrow then trees with vertical growing lines should he planted 
especially those close to the house. |
