WHAT ARE YOU DOING TUESDAY NIeHT?"
by Charles Pierre
MORRIS ENCEL

0oday's contribution comes from THIS WEEK reader
in philadelphia.
VoUvE probably had this happen to you. friend
Il phones and after the usual prelminaries he asks
invitingly, What are you doing Tuesday evening""
Immediately you have vision of sociabe gathering
of congenial acquaintance You would like that
But suddenly you realize that if you say Nothing
courtesy will require that you agree to almost any
suggestion your friend is about to propose. Maybe
no such invitation you imagined is intended by the
vague question Yet you must answer. You know that
Tuesday evening is free of any obligation but would
rather keep that way than get yourself in for some
thing you won't like. You are on spot!
WHILE the careessly phrased query may not be in
tended to trick you into an acceptance its vagueness
frequently does prompt rejection. Much more to the
liking of most people is the honestly presented invita-
ton that comes something like this: Bill we're hav
ing few couples in next Tuesday evening for some
bridge We'd like to have you and Jane join u.s. Can
we count on you?" If you like bridge and Tuesday
evening is open the chances you will accept The
prospective host may add Fred and Peg will be there
and I'm going to see if the Wyers make it.. If Fred
and Peg across card table do not contribute to your
idea of pleasant evening you have chance to offer
your regrets quickly and in beievable manner.
Asking even close friend about his availability on
Tuesday evening is like asking him favor without first
explaining its nature. There is always the possibility
that you are stretching your friendship - the favor
NAV be more than he can handle at that time.
The considerate host tells ALL prospective guests
may accept or reject without misgivngs. After all.
happy guest is one who really wants to come.

Trees Do for Yard What
Frame Does for Picture
BY LEONARD Il. YAGER, assistant
Extension HorticAItnralist

viewed from the front of the prop
erty.
Some trees are used as specimens.
Evergreens, as one example, share
their greenness both winter and
summer. The tapering peaks of
spruce help to accent the skyline
here and there and help to relieve
the monotony of too many rounded
masses of deciduous shrubs and
trees.
Birch with its colored bark has
delicate beauty all of its own. Weep
ing forms of birch and willow are
planted in certain spots to add a
wistful look to the landscape scene.
Foliage texture of various trees,
from the delicate, patterned leaf of
the birch to the broad, coarse leaves
of the Eastwood, vary to repeat the
texture of the architecture of the
home.
AdaptabilitY. Hardness
Choice of trees for landscape
planting depends on that tr e e's
adaptability, suitability, hardness
and desirability.
Some of the trees for landscape
planting are American elm, white
and green ash, birch, soft and sugar
naples, American linden and hack
leberry. Dwarf trees such as Rus
sian olive, mountain ash, red haw,
Towering crabs and Siberian or Chi
nese elm are used.
Weeping forms of birch and will
low are used in some areas where
they are hardy. Less desirable are
cottonwoods, poplars, boxelder, but
because of their hardness they are
used in the drier areas.
Colorado, white or Black Hills and
Norway spruce are useful. Pines do
not have as much appeal, but can
be used on home lawns where plenty
of room is available.
Trees are one of the longest living
elements in landscape planting.
Choice of desirable species, giving
them adequate room are two impor-
tant points to consider in placing
them in the yard.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-05-15

SOME OF THE TREES in our
landscape area will do for the yard
what a frame does for a picture.
Another of their important functions
is providing shade. Much has been
written recently about the value of
trees in Climate control around the
home.
Some trees are placed on the prop
erty to screen undesirable views;
other trees are planted merely for
their specimen value. With all of
these more or less important func-
tons of trees in mind, it is important
that we plan their placement with
utmost concern and thought.
Consider Size at Maturity
AS the tiny Seeding tree is plant
ed, it is extremely difficult for many
of us to visualize the ultimate size
and form this tree will take and the
functions it will perform in the fu-
ture. Many of us plant trees only
for the sake of planting, it seems,
with little or no regard to their flu
ture purpose.
No large species of tree, if it is to
develop maximum beauty and util-
ity should be planted closer than IS
feet to others. Only in the wind
break, where trees serve a different
purpose, is closer spacing recon-
mended. In fact, some of our larger
growing trees need greater spacing
distances in order to have maximum
room for development.
1t is far better to have one well
developed tree on property show
ing its full beauty than several close
1y crowded with not enough room
for any of them to expand
Framing Public Area
Trees are used for framing views
From the public area, the house
should be the center of interest ano
can be framed by trees. Two trees
set out Is to rs feet diagonally from
the two front corners will eventu-
ally develop large trunks; and with
the overhanging branches and limb:
will help to frame the house a!
