On the other hand, a row of stately trees along a straight drive that is rather conspicuous, will add to its dignity. Such avenues, however, are found only on the larger places. Often such shrub- bery groups serve to enclose the formal gar- den, or the recreation area; but in all cases these outstanding groups must "fit in" with the general design and not appear de- tached. (See Fig. 63 for types of tree groups.) The Principals of Planting WHILE planting operations are simple, it is of the importance that they be carried out promptly and properly. All trees and shrubs, in fact, all vegetation, should be replanted as soon as possible after being dug. If the future location is not ready when the tree is received, the roots must be covered with soil and kept moist. The most convenient method of accompUshing this is to dig a trench a foot or more deep and lay the trees or plants in it at an angle of about forty-five degrees so the roots are in the trench; then cover all the roots leaving none exposed. (Fig. 66.) If a large number are thus to be "heeled in," a second trench can be dug parallel to the first, and the soil taken from it used to cover the roots of the plants lying in the first trench, and so on, thus saving time and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Jennings, Arthur J; Johnson, Leonard H.
