paratlvaly few dwllitiKand farmaUada
within her buumlarira ara aurrounded
hy attractively arranged planting! of
tree, flowara and ilirutj. Natuially,
tlie attrntlon of moat cltisen of thi
Itreat commonwealth haa beeo oonflned
to Hi ona Idea ol money making; pal
ilalia tli plaoa lia been mortvaged and
averjr aflort liai bean brnt to re I leva

a certain tandard of money aocumula
tion and have devoted thair enarglea to
working toward till goal. Th roanlt
ol theae onnditicn haa linen that of let
ting a de the real beautifying of home
ground aa a aecondary oonaideratlon.
Another vary prevalent reaaoo why peo
ple neglect thla all-lmporlant matter,
It found In the fact that acaroely one
peraon In thouaand tep aalde and
givei the matUir ailrnnate thought.
Although ona may appreoiaU the at
tractive plate of other, (till the idea
of makli 1 bia own plaie equally attrac
tive la lar from the Imagination. A
third ola of peopla ara thoea wbo
really love the touch which nature
glvee the home urrounllng, but from
lack ol forethought and ryitematlc
planning their effort fall lar abort of
lucre. All ol thnae ole ol home
maker can profitably devoU lome at
tention to thla anbject, commonly
known a "landacape gardening," and
It application to home of out country.
Ilia ultimate aim of all landacape
gardening, whether conducted on a
atnall or on laige acale, abould be to
preeenl a pleaaing picture. In other
word, landacape gardening may be de-1
fined aa the art of arranging and group
ing treee, ahrnb and flower In each a
manner that a pictare of undeniable
beauty prevail Irom aaaaon to aeaaon.
It la not enough that th malarial
ohoeen for th planting thonld give to
(inactive dlaplay for a (Ingle aeaaon,
ach aa tlia painter place upon bia
canvaa, but the eelaotlon iboald go
farther, presenting matatial that will
glv Increasing variety and alluring
beauty lot each day, each week and
each month.
From tbla tatmnt of th aubjeat
it 1 quite evident that the landacape
gaidener who wield th tool which
niture piece at bia diipoaal cccupie a
poaltlon on equal footing with tbrtlt
wbo wield th brnah In transferring
the picture to the canvaa Yet It i
quite poaalble lor moat of ua to play the
lrt ol the former, even though it be
in a very limited manner. A many
painter are imitator to a great degree,
I ona ehonld Imitate th work ol
other In th arranging of planta, he
would be committing no unpardonable
In. In fact, Oil tatter method of
prtredure I likely to prove th mot
fruitful mean (or the average peraon to
employ; at any rale, it will aerv ad
mirably for tli purpo of giving an
Idea of th kind ol plant to (elect and
tli grouping method tniot pleaaing to
th eya.
On the other hand, it i Deceaeary
that the per eon who ia to become the
amateur landecap gardener ihould on
deratand lorn of th prime ential(
and common aenae rule ol thi art.
Where aball the flower b placed?
Khali the tree and ahrub come lo the

many other qurstlon naturally aria
111 the mind ot thnae who ai careiuuy

home-lover ahould give ample attention
to thi aubject.

which there haa been bo much apecu

house of congress. There waa con
alderable delay In the reading ot the
