An immediate appearance of maturity can 
be obtained by the addition of a few large 
trees to an open site. Sometimes it is more de- 
sirable to move in large trees and have them 
where you want them, than it is to locate a 
building to advantage among existing trees. 
Improved methods now permit many trees 
to be moved in summer as well as other times 
of the year. This is of considerable value to 
fit in with building construction programs.

for lawns and shrub and flower beds. 
No matter how carefully plants are dug and cared for 
while out of the ground, transplanting may easily be a fail- 
ure unless the planting is also carefully done. 
The first essential of good planting involves proper prep- 
aration of the soil. 
Where changes in grade are made necessary by building 
construction, and the natural top soil has been lost, it is 
necessary to add live black soil if the plants are to live 
and thrive. 
Every planting location is a different problem and should 
be diagnosed and treated accordingly. 
Peat moss, sand, and manure—used either singly or to- 
gether—with or without black soil, are some of the most 
useful materials in soil building. What and how much to 
use is a problem that only an experienced landscape man 
can answer. 
Proper tools and modern equipment not only make the 
work of soil preparation less expensive, but do a more thor- 
ough job. 
Pruning is necessary at the time of planting, in order to 
obtain proper balance between roots and tops. Better re- 
sults are obtained when experienced planters perform this 
work,
