Plant A Tree
Just because you missed
Arbor Day, don’t think
you've missed your chance
to plant a tree this year.
"There's still time to add a
tree to your home landscape
this spring," says Dr.
Charles Dunham, extension
horticulturist at the
University of Delaware. But,
he adds, you should do it
fairly soon, before hot
weather comes.
There are a number of
things to consider in planting
a tree. First is the location.
Take into account the or*
namental effects of the tree
you choose, in relation to
your house. A handsome tree
can make a good frame or
backdrop for the building.
Distance of the tree from
the house is important to
think about, though, if you
use it this way. Although
trees look well planted close
to houses, there may be
practical problems ■ that
develop as the tree grows.
You may need to keep
branches pruned to keep
them from damaging the
house. Large trees should
usually be placed at a
minimum of 15 to 7 20 feet
away from a building. Also,
be sure that the tree isn’t
planted where it will later
interfere with electric or

telephone line.s. To prevent
this, plant it at least 6 to 10
feet to one side of any utility
lines.
Another important con
sideration in locating trees
on home properties is shade.
Shade can add greatly to
your summer comfort and
the enjoyment of outdoor
areas in the yard. Shade is
most welcome from early to
late afternoon. So make sure
that trees planted for shade
arc to the south and west of
the area to be shaded.
Once the location is
chosen, a decision must be
made as to the kind of tree to
plant. If the soil is average,
almost any kind of tree will
grow. However, in either
very wet or dry areas trees
must be selected that wiH
tolerate these conditions.
Some shade trees that will
grow in wet areas include;
sweet gum, red maple,
willow oak and pin oak.
Kinds for dry soils include-
Chinese elm, honey locust,
Japanese sophora and
Ailanthus or Tree of Heaven.
Size is another important
consideration in tree
selection. Average city lots
have room for only one or
two large trees but can
utilize several small or
medium sized trees. Small

Vegetable formers should
keep a sharp watch for
tomato plnworms, caution
scientists in the Penn
sylvania Agriculture
Department’s Bureau of
Plant Industry.
These tiny Insects arc
native to the warm
agricultural areas of
southern California, Hawaii,
Texas and Mexico. Ac
cording to state en
tomologists, they were
reintroduced into Penn
sylvania greenhouses last
year.
Dr. A. G. Wheeler Jr. and
James F. Stimmel, en
tomologists in the depart
ment’s Bureau of Plant
Industry, said the tiny moths
lay eggs, which are just
visible to the naked eye, on
the undersides of leaves.
After hatching, the
caterpillars tunnel between
the upper and lower leaf
surfaces, forming large
blotched areas or mines.
trees are also easier to
maintain. Also, in these size
groups are many of the
flowering trees that add an
extra element of beauty to
the landscape. Good small
trees 20 to 25 feet in height
would includg Japanese
maple, dogwood, crabap
ples, magnolias (except the
evergreen magnolia),
hornbeam, flowering
cherries and the golden ram
tree.

Watch for
Tomato Pinworms
Older caterpillars may bore
Into the tomatoes, making
them susceptible to decay.
An infestation of tomato
pinworms was discovcrd in
several Pennsylvania
greenhouses in 1931, causing
damage to SO percent of the
plants. When the insects
spread to a field, damage
was so severe that only three
baskets of marketable
tomatoes could be obtained
from an acre.
Wheeler and Stimmel
advised that the "best
defense against this pest is to
prevent its entry into Penn
sylvania."
In this respect, depart
ment inspectors check
tomatoes shipped into
Pennsylvania But, noted
department officials, in
spectors cannot examine
every plant in a shipment
containing several million
plants.
Fortunately, tomato
pinworms rarely become
established as a pest in the
field or greenhouse in
Pennsylvania, according to
Wheeler and Stimmel. But,
they ask that any observed
pinworms damage be
reported to the department.
