TREES 
In the south, trees are real necessities for health and comfort; 
they are valuable not only for their shade but also for their 
flowers, seed pods, and foliage. Without some shade most home 
grounds have a forlorn and unfinished look. Properly placed 
shade trees can change an ordinary-looking property into a dis- 
tinguished one, for they can cut out what needs to be hidden and 
emphasize the good points. The flowering trees with their pro- 
fusion of lovely bloom are most attractive in season. 
Generally speaking, the best location for trees is to the rear and 
side of the grounds, where they can frame the house without pre- 
venting light or air from reaching it. 
In selecting your trees, the best plan is to select the tree for 
the spot, not the spot for the tree. Thus you will be sure of add- 
ing the touch that you desire, rather than just sticking in a tree 
to take up room.
