Shade Trees Beautify the Lawn 
A broad open space of well kept lawn is the first essential 
of good landscape design, the base against which all else 
is viewed. Yet it is incomplete without trees to shield the 
house from the direct heat of the sun, and for ornament. 
Without trees as a background so the topmost branches ex- 
tend above and break the roof lines, and a few toward the 
ends to frame the view, the house appears lost in space. 
Once established, nothing will increase in value and give 
such good results with so little attention as shade trees. 
When planting remove any unnecessary weak limbs and 
shorten some others. The central shoot or leader is not 
pruned unless necessary to make the head more dense. As 
limbs develop higher remove the lower ones to the height 
desired. Plant firmly, and water as needed, especially first 
year. 
Five or more of a kind at the 10 rate. 
Ash, American or White; Fraxinus americana 
A lofty tree growing 50 to 70 ft. high, forming a conical to 
round-topped crown; leaflets seven to nine on each stem, dark 
green, in autumn golden; fairly rapid growth; useful for

The bark of the European White Birch is chalky white. 

Sugar Maple has a showy autumn foliage. 
Crab, Flowering; Malus

more satisfactory than the famed Japanese Flowering Cher- 
ries, give much the same effect, and are dependable.

mine buds, opening into carmine-rose flowers 114 to 1/2 in. 
across, lighter as they age; twigs, new leaves, and orna-

grance; very resistant to cedar rust; blooms young.

Dogwood, White Flowering; Cornus florida

vember are almost as showy as the flowers. A large shrub 
or small tree, usually attaining 10 to 15 ft. Valuable for spec- 
imens or naturalistic plantings in sun or partial shade. Flow- 
er buds formed in August and September. Keep it watered.
