Care Should Be Exercised In Selecting
What Vines to Use.
In nature the mission of the vine is
to cover either for obscurity or for pro
tection or shelter, and in the garden It
Is often put to similar uses. But the
Tine bus other and nobler uses. Its
delicate tracery upon classic or other
riretentious architecture is n thing of
extreme beauty and should be kept
with this end in view, under complete
control.
It is sometimes permissible to hide,
or at least to soften, the more harsh
and monotonous lines of architecture
by the Judicious use of delicate vines,
not of the kinds, however, used to ob
scure unsightly objects or cover ar
bors. Not all vinos were intended for
the same mission in life, and man
should choose, with Judgment born of
experience and based on observation,
where each should go or what vines to
use for specific purposes.
PROPER METHODS TO CARE
FOR LAWNS AND GARDENS.
Trrace Are Not Desirable, but Gravel
Walks Add Beauty.
The edges of the greensward should
be carried to the "edge of the gutter or
walk with a gentle roll rather thai)
with an abrupt bank. Banks or ter
races are not desirable. Gentle, slop
ing surfaces are more easily kept in
position, more easily grassed and pre
sent a more pleasing appearance than
abrupt banks. The gentle roll, when
properly made, will serve the same
purpose iu edging the walk or drive as
the abrupt bank.
In general, walks and drives through
areas in which lawns predominate
should be made of harmonizing ma
terialthat is, gravel or dirt roads are
to be preferred to any form of pave
ment. The walks, if made of gravel,
are more in keeping with the general
eharucter and aspect of the place than
If made of asphalt or either natural or
artificial stone.
Trees and shrubs upon Binall places
should occupy subordinate positions.
They should not be scattered promis
cuously over the surface of the lawn,
but should be used in groups about
the border of the grounds, in the bays
or walks and drives and about the
foundation of the architectural feat
ures of tho place.
Street trees of necessity must be
planted in rows, but all other adorn
ments In the form of trees and shrubs
should be used In a free rather than in
a formal fashion. Sheared hedges of
box or privet along the front of a
place or upon the borders of the walks
and drives are seldom or never desir
able features unless the whole treat
ment of the place Is fonnul.
A specimen tree Or shrub, if proper
ly located upon the lawn so as to break
up the barrenness of a corner or to
limit the vision In any direction, Is an
appropriate object.
Oftentimes trees and shrubs can be
used to good effect In the immediate
vicinity of buildings for softening or.
relieving staring architectural lines.
PRUNING STREET TREES.
Stimulates Active Growth and Always
Improves Appearance,
Pruning of large trees is often too
long deferred. Cases are known where
city governments' have assumed con
trol after pepper trees have grown, un
pruued, for a score of years. Natu
rally the officials look askance at the
proposal to prune, yet sooner or later
such work must be done, and the
sooner the better.
First dead wood should be removed,
and next all superfluous branches hav
ing abnormal positions or crossing oth
ers at unusual and undesirable angles.
When this has been done each tree is
In a condition where one can intelli
gently Judge of the individual needs of
each tree, for no two trees should have
precisely similar treatment. Judicious
pruning often stimulates to active
growth and improved appearance of
seemingly infirm old trees.
NATURAL GROWTH OF OAKS.
CONTROL OF STREET TREES.
Advantages of Municipal Ownership
and Supervision Are Many.
No one who hns given the subject
any thought can have any doubt as to
the value and advantages of munlci
pnl ownership and control of street
trees. It Is the only means through
which cities or towns may obtain sys
temntic, uniform street planting iu a
practical, economical way. In fact, it
Is the only menus through which a
large city may obtain any degree of
success for several obvious reasons,
While Jill this Is not only plainly but
painfully apparent, is It not strange
that we are Individually and collective
ly so apathetic on this important ques
tlon?
Ratio of Trees to People.
A publication devoted to landscape
gardening, arboriculture and kindred
subjects has been giving attention to a
tree census and to the ratio of trees to
Inhabitants In seveml eastern cities.
It reaches :he conclusion that "any self
respecting American city ought to be
countrified to the extent of one live
shnde tree to every five living human
inhabitants." Springfield, Mass., is
given a ratio of one tree to every five
inhabitants; Worcester, Mass., one to
eight, and Hartford, Conn., one to ten.
In Washington the ratio of trees to
population Is very high.

At Twenty Years of Ago They Present
Imposing Appearance.
When uumutilated or unshorn by
the hand of man the live oak is one of
the most beautiful of trees, retaining
Its lower branches and foliage down to
the ground. Indeed, so beautiful is
this tree, so strong in character, that
seldom is ono inude uubeautlful by
even the rudest vandal. Under harsh
treatment it becomes merely less beau
tiful, never ugly. Every means pos
sible should be employed not only to
preserve the oaks, but to plant young
ones where none now exist. At twen
ty years of age, if well watered dur
ing summer for the first five years,
these trees make the most beautiful
subjects for street planting of all the
trees the world affords, and more
should be used for this purpose both
In cities and rural districts.
PRETTY HANGING BASKETS.
Be
Plenty of Young Plants Should
Used Moss For a Lining.
The most unsightly part about the
average banging basket, especially If
It has long been in private hands, is
the bare sides and bottom. If such
baskets cannot well be worked over
and replanted get a handful of slips of
wandering Jew or tradescantla, punch
holes iu the sides with a lead pencil
and put In the cuttings. The basket
will soon develop into a thing of beau
ty. When filling these moss covered
baskets plenty of young plants of lobe
lia, saxifrage, beu and chickens, and
the like should be freely introduced as
the basket is gradually lined with
moss and filled with soil.
The New Hydrangeas.
No flowers have of late years been
more highly improved than the horten-
sis type of hydrangeas. New colors
and forms with immense flowers are
the distinguishing features of the new
types. The individual flowers are rath
er less than the common type unless
It be true that the flower trusses and
foliage have so much increased in size
as to reduce the single flowers to a
minimum. The foliage is also vastly
larger than ln older types. One new
white sort has the petals frilled and
fringed, and all are now in bloom.
