A tree planted iu the yard can add a new artistic dimension to your lanascape. Some important things to remember when buyinga tree, according to Ortho's "World of Trees," are size and root quality. Select a medium-sized tree rather than a large oae because the top and roots will more likely be ini better balance-and balance is more important than size. The tree aise should have a well-formed reet system-that is one which is symetrically branched wth the main roets growing down and eut te provide trunk support.

You can choose trees for their stniking display of flowers, or for their interesting foliage, bark, and growth patterns. And there are trees suited for ail kinds of environments and spaces-trees for the in- doors; trees for the seashore; trees that thnive in the city, despite air pollution, re- flected heat, and limited open soul surface; trees that can be dwarfed for landscaping in miniature; trees that can be sheared inta strikingly un- uisual forms. Once you're ready ta buy trees, you'll find a wide selection ta choose from at your local nursery. How- ever, al trees found in a nursery are not necessarily able ta ,withstand the transi- tion from ideal grawing con- ditions ta your backyard, ac- cordîng ta the Ortho book -The World of Trees." That's why there are a numnber of guidelines you should keep in mind when making your tree selection ta make sure they remnain per- mnanent fixtures in your land- scape. Generally speaking, you should select a medium-size tree rather than tbe largest one, sa that the tops and roots will be in balanced pro- porion. Overly developed trees tend to be less vigarous because of the inadequacy of the roat system ta supply enough nourishment in rela- tion ta the size af the tree. Smaller than average size trees tend ta remain stunted in-growth. Yaur nursery shauld carry healthy medium-sized trees in tbree different planting va- rieties: bareraot trees, which have littie or no soil an the roots; balled-and-burlapped trees, which are dug with plenty of soul around the roots and wrapped in burlap material; and container- grawn trees. Do not buy a tree with a rootball that's crumbled or cracked, says Ortho's "The World of Trees,- or with roots that are twined near the trunk at the surface of the rootbali. Now that you have a reli- able plan for maintaining the health and permanence of your tree,. you, can devote your energies to making the best possible selection for your particular landscape design.
