EeMille's aw at TECHNICOLOR with RAYMOND MASSET BOBERT PBESTOIt SUSAN HAYWARO lYHNt OVERMAK o Garden Notes By C. B. CORDY County Extension Agent for Horticulture The nest two weeks will be an - excellent time in which to plant shade trees. As these shade trees will grow for a great many years, considerable care should be exercised in the choice of a tree which will be satisfactory. As any large tree will uproot sidewalks and other cement structures, they should not be planted within 10 feet of con crete work. If a tree, must be planted near concrete work, select a small one which will not uproot it. Some trees such as willow, maple and sycamore have many surface roots so are undesirable if it is desired to grow flowers or shrubs close to them. Poplar and cottonwood trees, in many cases, will send up large lum bers of root suckers. Building Hazard These trees also get very large and eventually will be a hazard to nearby buildings. These trees should never be planted in urban areas and will eventually prove unsatisfactory in most rural areas. Silver maple and sycamore are fast growing, large spreading trees wkh shallow root systems. Sweet gum and tulip trees are large pyramidal trees with deep er root systems. Satisfactory small trees would be horsechest nut, purple leaf plum, hawthorn and flowering cherry. Elm trees should be avoided unless the home owner is willing to face the probable necessity of an annual spray for the control of aphis and leaf beetle. There are a large number of satisfactory evergreen trees, but large forest trees such as pine and douglas fir should be avoided in town as these become too large and are a hazard to sur rounding buildings.
