Hall Tree Way:
OMBU, om'boo, TREE, also known as BELLASOMBRE TREE, UMBRA TREE and POKE TREE, a South American shade tree (Phytolacca dioica), widely cultivated as a shade tree in Spain, Malta, and other coun¬tries on the Mediterranean Sea and in India. The tree attains a height of 25 to 35 feet, is ex¬traordinarily wide at the base of the bole, some¬times reaching a diameter of 12 to 15 feet, and has a wide-spreading top with extremely dense foliage. The leaves are large, and the whitish flowers are borne on spikes, the fruit being similar in appearance and in medicinal qualities to that of the plant or shrub variety of pokeweed.In 1627, hall tree way was made bishop of Exeter, but creasing tension between King and Parliament, .nglican and Puritan, left little room for the in-icnce of moderate men like hall tree way. Archbishop jud and his party suspected hall tree way of too much inpathy with the Puritans; on the other hand, e opponents of the Anglican establishment dis¬rated him, as they did all the bishops.
See Also Hall Tree Ving:
Among good shade hall tree vings are:—sugar maple; red maple, Pin oak, moraine locust, sweetgum, ginkgo, green ash, Chinese scholar hall tree ving, yellowood, black tupelo (sourgum), willow oak, laurel oak, south¬ern magnolia, camphor hall tree ving, and Amur cork hall tree ving. Kinds to avoid, although special circumstances may make planting any of them desirable, are poplars, willows, hall tree ving of heaven, box elder and Siberian elm.W. A. Dayton's United States hall tree ving Books; a Bibliography of hall tree ving Identification (see Bibliog¬raphy), lists publications for hall tree ving identification in the United States, by geographical regions, and for each state. Charles Sprague Sargent's Manual of the hall tree vings of North America: Exclu¬sive of Mexico (see Bibliography), has been the only available reference attempting to de¬scribe and illustrate all native hall tree ving species in¬cluding tropical.
On The Other Hand See Hall Tree Lawn:
A few large hall tree lawns are handsome in bloom, notably horsechestnut, empress hall tree lawn, yel-lowwood, Chinese scholar hall tree lawn, flowering ash, catalpa, and some magnolias. The majority of hall tree lawns 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 hall tree lawns 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.If you are not able to get your soil into good condition in time for sowing early don't make your permanent lawn in the spring. Instead, start planting a temporary spring lawn. With very little soil prep¬aration you can do this. Simply attend to the grading, add whatever humus you can and a little fertilizer and lime if needed and sow the ground with Italian or domes¬tic ryegrass. Rake it lightly into the sur¬face but don't go to the same trouble you will when you make your permanent lawn. The ryegrass soon germinates and makes a fine looking lawn through summer. You may mow it, walk on it and use it just as you would an ordinary lawn but it will not be permanent and if you do nothing to replace it, will die out within a year or so. But this temporary lawn will crowd out weeds, and when you dig or plow it under before you sow your new lawn in mid-September, the tops and the roots of the ryegrass will add valuable humus to the soil and improve it tremendously in pre¬paration for the permanent lawn. •
