LANDSCAPING THE HOME 
Visualize the results by making a proposed lay- 
out on paper before actually planting Evergreens. 
Make your changes on paper first. 
It is easier than making changes 
after the trees are in the ground. 
If you want to use your 
sketch to the best advantage, ac- 
tually draw an outline of your 
house on ruled paper. Let = 
each square represent one foot. 
You will then be sure that 
your planting is done in cor- 
rect proportion. In this way you 
can tell exactly how much space 
there is between windows, doors, etc., and you can 
also more easily estimate the number of trees re- 
quired to make your planting a professional look- 
ing job.

A few trees properly spaced will be much more 
effective than a large number of trees crowded closely 
together. 
There are no definite rules 
used by professional landscapers, 
although there are a great many 
treatments to be taken into con- 
sideration with each individual 
project. 
Keep your planting simple. 
Don’t make the mistake of so 
many amateur planters of select- 
ing the wrong varieties and then 
placing them with no definite 
plan. Before you purchase trees, know where they 
are to be used, when they are to be planted, and how 
the finished project will look. This will avoid both 
poor mixtures and unsuitable arrangements.
