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, Green; Fraxinus lanceolata 
A tree of medium height, growing to about 60 or 70 feet 
with stout upright branches forming a compact, broad, cir-
