K. H. Sliepard, editor of Better I'rult, was among tiie first to set n good example In this regard and he has been foremost among those who hav! urged the great pleasure ami profit resulting from such adorn ment with plants, shrubbery and flowers of the home places through out the valley. Mr. Shi'pnrd has noted with Interest t iie progress which is being made and, with a view to assisting those who nre making such Improvement or who are contemplating making them, he offers some valuable advice, based on hln own own experience. Mr. Sliepard'n beautiful home shows how effective properly-planted (low ers can be made. In discussing the subject he said: 'Hood Klver Is admirably adapted to the growing of almost all of the common flowers and shrubs, but of course there are some which thrive particularly well here. Karllest In the springtime come the erocu-cs, which can be planted Indiscriminate ly on the lawn to good advantage or else In conventional style. Then cotn the Joii(itlls, following close afterwards. The next touch of color comes when the Iris blooms. The Japanese varieties are particularly gorgeous nml the German plants also do well here. Topples, with their bright, cheer ful colors are soon afterwards tn bloom. The OrlentaS varieties nre especially magnificent. 1 hey can tie raised from seed ami then bloom In two years or the plant can Is used, when they bloom the first year. Tu lips also do very well here and are among the most lteauttful of spring Mowers. "Among the other flowers which thrive here are the fox glove nut snap dragon and they are nn attract Ive addition to the garden. "Lilacs also reach their perfection here, both white ami purple, which can now be secured with double blossoms. The Persian ami the ol fashioned varieties also do very well. "Lilies nn' always beautiful. The speclosuiu ruben and tiger llllea thrive here, while the delicate Mt. Hood Illy Is naturally adapted to our climate. Among the most gor geous varieties Is the lllluin auratuni or golden banded Japanese Illy, The llllutn auratuin iiiagtium, or Urge golden-banded Illy, Is the most won derful of all lilies for beauty and slie." Mr. Sliepard retains a great admi ration (or the idd fashioned flower garden, which, like an old song, never loses Its charm. "Hollyhocks," he ndded, "should not 1k overlooked. They are a striking addition to the garden." "The growing of (lowers not only U-a u titles the home," cont limed Mr. Sliepard, "but they make It ever so much more Interesting as well as mure valuable and Instructive to the children." Peonies have lieen found to be es pecially adapted to thrive tn this valley. Mr. Sliepard has over K'5 varieties, with a great assortment of colors. They are hardy, die dowu lu wlster, always blossom and are eseclally effective from the orna mental standpoint. The vurletlcs of roses which Mr. and Mrs. Sliepard have found do the best here are as follows: Fran Karl Drusehkl, K. A. Victoria. Mildred Grant. Margaret Dixon, Viscountess Folkstoni. Souvenir de President Caruot, Frani Deegan, Caroline Ten tout. Baroness ltothscbtld, Mrs. John Latug, Horace Vernet, Marie Baumuii and Prince Camllle de Ho lm n. The varieties which they have found do fairly well Include the fol lowing: Bessie Brown, La France, I'lrlch Bruuner, Kugeule Verdler, Madame Alfred Carrie re, Mauiau Cochet (both pink and white), Glolre Lyoualse, Mervlllo de Lyon, A.
