EFFECTIVE USE 
OF SINGLE TREES 
It is not necessary to use a large number 
of trees for a foundation planting. Some 
homes are constructed of materials which 
are attractive. In such cases only single 
specimen trees should be used, not to hide 
but to enhance by contrast as in the above

PLANT THINLY 
The tendency of some planters is to crowd the trees too closely together. A 
new planting should have plenty of open space between plants. The effect the 
first year may be a little disappointing but allowance for future growth should 
be made, permitting each plant to develop individually. The center of each tree 
should not be nearer than three feet to the foundation and spaced from three to 
five feet apart, depending on the variety. Consideration should be given to 
over-hanging roofs, if any. Trees should not be placed where falling snow and 
ice will damage them. A few choice specimens placed correctly will give your 
home far more distinction than crowded plants.
