hot winds; normal. snow-fall; buildings, 
orchards, or crops to be protected. Plant 
at least 3 rows of trees as pictured below, 
being sure to plant far enough trom build- 
ings to avoid snowdrifts around the build- 
ings. The inside rows, nearest the build- 
ings, should be 12 ft. apart, with the trees 
12 ft. apart in the rows. The outside row 
; should be 20 ft. from the inside row, with 
trees 20 ft. apart in row. For Evergreen

(0) AUSTRIAN Pinge(Pinus nigra). Grows to about 40 ft. 
This pine has probably had the greatést growth 
of popularity in recent years. It is relatively fast grow- 
ing, the new growth adding as much as six to eight 
inches each year, even when very young. Has also 
proved itself adaptable to city conditions—tolerates 
moderate shade, poor sun, dust, smoke, fumes; even 
salt spray in coastal regions. Graceful sweeping 
branches, huge bunches of 4-6 inch needles. 
AMERICAN ARBORVITAE (Thuja occidenialis). Usually 
reaches a height of about 25 feet. Adaptable to many 
climates and uses... is excellent for hedges be- 
cause, being compact and slow growing, it requires 
little clipping. Prefers a sunny location and moist 
soil, but will stand some shade. It grows quite bushy 
at the bottom coming to a point at the top. The foliage 
is flat, arranged in lacy sprays. It is one of the few 
evergreen types that thrives best in a wet soil.
