Trees planted about the house should accom¬ 
plish the two-fold purpose of framing the view 
of the house, and providing shade at the right 
place and at the time of day when it is needed. 
Trees planted nearer the corners of the house, 
rather than directly in front, will greatly enhance 
the appearance of the home and provide the 
much needed shade as well. 
Ordinarily trees should be planted sufficiently 
far apart to allow them to develop naturally. An 
exception is when they are used for screening 
out some unsightly view or for windbreak pur¬ 
poses. Small, ornamental trees can display their 
flower or fruit to advantage either on the lawn 
or in the border.
