SHADE TREES 
Shade trees are important in your garden—important 
throughout the year. In winter, bare twigs and branches 
silhouette, against leaden skies. Spring brings the fresh 
green of unfolding buds; fall the brilliance of turning 
leaves. In deep summer, leafy tops cast cool shadows on 
the lawn—restful, inviting shadows broken here and there 
by patches of dancing light. At all seasons, tall trees serve 
to frame the house, to give it a settled air. 
Worthwhile shade trees, however,—those that are 
long-lived and hardy—are relatively slow growing. It 
takes time to achieve an effect—time before shadows cool 
the summer lawn. Accordingly, these trees should be 
planted early, even before the house is under roof.
