DECIDUOUS TREES 
Under our desert conditions the first thought of home- 
builders is trees and grass. Trees are essential to the 
satisfying landscape picture, but they should be used judi- 
ciously and not too freely. Remember that in this country 
they grow rapidly, and few people have the heart to take 
them out later on. Use them primarily to give shade where 
needed, to frame views, and to give needed height in 
the shrub border. 
Deciduous trees can be planted safely at any time when 
they are dormant and the frost is out of the ground. If 
properly handled and cared for there should be few trans- 
planting losses. The hole should be dug a foot or so wider 
than the spread of the roots; they are better if planted at 
the original depth which can be seen from the soil mark 
on the trunk. The soil can be well enriched with manure 
which should be rotten. In placing the tree, the roots 
should be spread naturally with the broken roots removed. 
A mere sprinkling even to a depth of three or four inches 
is not enough. Remember it is a foot or more to the roots. 
Soak thoroly, then forget it for a while and soak again. In 
this section, during the summer they should get a real soak- 
ing once a week. 
The demand for trees of larger sizes for the past few 
years has been so great that the supply of them is low all 
over the U.S. We are sorry that we are unable to supply 
the large sizes that we have been able to offer in years past. 
It is a national condition and it is going to require a good 
many years to rectify it. In the meanwhile if you want 
trees it is going to be necessary to plant smaller ones and 
watch them grow.
