can hardly be over-estimated. If your area is unusually 
limited in size, you can create the same effect by using a 
small, flowering tree. Trees in the garden provide, in addition to 
welcome shade in the summer months, the pleasing effect of 
interesting shadows on the lawn. Very often a well-placed tree 
can be used as the center of interest in your garden. It can be 
the focal point of a vista from your window or your porch. Trees 
often help to frame interesting views in the garden. Trees planted 
in pairs can be used for more formal effects. Indeed, trees in 
leaf or in flower or, for that matter bare of leaves, are pleasant 
adjuncts to any well-planned garden. Does your garden need a 
tree? Let us tell you what we know about desirable trees and 
their uses.

Trees afford a most picturesque setting for this attractive 
REES and shrubs can 
be moved at almost 
any time of year if 
the proper care Is given 
them. All too often, how- 
ever, home-owners are not 
able to care for large trees 
conveniently when they are 
moved in the summer 
months. Experience has 
taught nurserymen that 
trees can easily be moved 
after the ground is frozen. 
The frozen soil makes possi- 
ble the removal of the tree- 
roots with a large ball of 
earth. Then, too, trees 
moved in the winter months 
are in a dormant condition 
and are less likely to be 
retarded in their growth.
