BIRCHES 
Many a house and garden has 
been lifted from mediocrity by 
ok ‘planting a few well - placed 
birches. They lose none of their 
charm through absence of 
leaves in winter—their slender 
branches trace a graceful sil- 
houette. Birches need a good 
supply of water in the growing 
season, good drainage in win- 
ter. Do not allow lawns to 
grow over the feeding roots un- 
til the trees are large and well- 
established.
