Plan Home

During Winter
Tha present is a suitable time
to make a landscape plan which
may be carried out during this
year’s planting season. Sadis
Hatfield, specialist in landscape
gardening of the Texas Extension
Service says that it generally is
considered safe to transplant
shrubs and trees after the first
frost and until the next growing
season begins. The planning and
planting of the home landscape is
an activity in which the whole
family can participate and enjoy.
To develop a landscape plan
successfully some knowledge is
necessary for making it, and
thought and attention to it are
required. Miss Hatfield suggests
a preliminary visit by the family
to some well landscaped homes to
observe and use some of the de-
sirable features such as conven-
ient arrangement of walks and
drives, placing of shade trees to
keep out the sun, screening of the
work area from public view, and
outdoor living rooms or play areas
It is a good idea, too, for the fam-
ily to make a trip or two to a
nursery and nearby woods to study
shrubs and trees which might be
used in the landscape.
Each family should know the
names of at least five shade trees,
five evergreen shrubs, five decis-
uous shrubs, and five fruit trees
which they would like to use in
their homestead beautification.
More or fewer plants than these
may be used, but it is desirable
to at least know those mentioned.
Miss Hatfield believes it will be
helpful to read aloud and discuss
in the family circle some bulletins
on landscaping. These may be ob-
tained from the offices of the
county extension agents or by
writing to the Extension Service
of A. and M. College.
