Where The Tree: Among good shade trees are:—sugar maple; red maple, Pin oak, moraine locust, sweetgum, ginkgo, green ash, Chinese scholar tree, yellowood, black tupelo (sourgum), willow oak, laurel oak, south¬ern magnolia, camphor tree, and Amur cork tree. Kinds to avoid, although special circumstances may make planting any of where the treem desirable, are poplars, willows, tree of heaven, box elder and Siberian elm.

The gold-dust tree (Aucuba iaponica var. varie-gata), native to eastern Asia, grows from 4 to 15 feet (1.2^4.5 meters) tall and has stout, forked branches.
GOLD-DUST TREE, a handsome evergreen shrub of the dogwood family (Cornaceae) grown for its bright scarlet fruits and yellow-spotted leaves. The gold-dust tree (Aucuba iaponica var. varie-gata), native to eastern Asia, grows from 4 to 15 feet (1.2^4.5 meters) tall and has stout, forked branches. Its slightly toothed leaves are opposite and range in length from 3 to 7 inches (75-175 mm). The species is dioecious, the small male and female flowers being borne on separate plants.
On The Other Hand See Flowering Tree:When selecting flowering trees, don't do so on the basis of flowers alone. Blooms last but a week or two; the tree is there the year round. Consider whether its form and character, when not in bloom, are attractive. Also whether it has other advantages such as attractive fruits (as do crab-apples, dogwoods and some others) or fine fall coloring (dogwoods and sourwood).
Among good flowering trees are crab-apples, Japanese cherries, flowering dog¬wood, Japanese flowering dogwood, labur¬num, dove tree, koelreuteria, hawthorn, magnolias, empress tree, mimosa (Albiz-zia), sourwood (Oxydendrum), redbud, styrax, silver bell (Halesia), amelanchier, Japanese witch hazel and Cornus Mas.
A few large trees are handsome in bloom, notably horsechestnut, empress tree, yel-lowwood, Chinese scholar tree, flowering ash, catalpa, and some magnolias. The majority of trees highly decorative in bloom, however, are of modest size, 30 feet or less high on the average, although some individuals and some kinds may exceed this. These small flowering trees are ex¬ceedingly useful for garden ornamenta¬tion. They are handsome in small groups, in boundary plantings and as single lawn specimens. Don't clutter the lawn by dot¬ting even the most lovely about without considering good composition and the im¬portance of leaving open areas. A garden consists of both plants and spaces.
