Geometric Perfection Is

Is to be Worthy Addition
A . J 1 i i A t . a.
Any garden pooi must in

the'garden is informal, then a
The ormal pool should be
spicuous places in the garden. It should be geometrically per
fect and must contain a complete finish with no rough places
whatsoever. It should contain a balanced and symmetrical
planting.
The- informal pool is more enticing because of the natur-
alistio effects which may be incorporated in it. If it is prop
erly built, the garden can be transformed into the wilds of
nature. The location should be carefully selected and a strict
informaliy and apparent carelessness employed in the build
ing of this type of pool. The beauty of the natural pool is
strengthened by plantings which have been studied over and
carefully planned. Consider that the pool in the wild has
certain characteristics, then plan your own pool according
ly. Carefully study the kinds of wild plants which grow near
the streams and where it is possible collect a supply for your
own pool.
Plants which are purchased at
the nursery shiuld be such that
rive the appearance of moisture.
Plants for the4 pool must either
grow in a moist soil or give the ap
pearance and feeling of moisture.
For the informal pool, deciduous
shrubs obtain the best effects, al
tho an occasional evergreen may
be placed with careful study. It is
always safe to plant wilows, elder
berries, huckleberries and most
of the common wild ehrubs around
the naturalistic pool.
Perennials May Be Used
Perennials which are in reality
dry soil plants may be planted if
they give the feeling of wetness.
All the irises will give the desired
Impression. This is true especially
of the Siberian iris. The cardinal
flowers, the marshmallow, the
wild goldenrod and all the various
terns may be planted around the
pool. Most nurseries, and especial
ly those which specialize in rock
plants, grow a large list of plants
suitable for pools. The marshy ap
pearance is always carried out
with plantings of all the grasses.
A few annuals such as California
popy, verbena, for-get-me-not may
be used to till in and add color.
Even a tew trailing plants such
as myrtle. Japanese spurge, snow
inaummer add to the charm of the
naturalistic pool.
In constructing the natural
pool extreme care must be used to
produce the rustic effect. All of
the cement work must be com
pletely concealed. Occasionally the
whole pool is lined with rocks
after the sides and bottom of the
pool have been poured. A natural
istic effect is obtained in this
manner If care is used o lay the
rock in a somewhat careless fa
shion, without a trace of artificial
stiffness, but rather with a rustic
finish patterned afer nature. At
least should the concrete margin

with rock or plants.
In planting the pool it is well
to remember that the larger and
taller the plantings, the smaller
will appear the pool. Likewise, if
you desire your pool to appear as
large as possible, keep the plant
ing down, using only low growing
plants. Tall trees may be set at a
distance from the pool giving it a
necessary background. Too much
shade is harmful for the pool if
it is desired to grow water llllles,
as this aquatic plant demands sun
shine. Proper Depth Essential
The pool should be of such a
depth that water lillies may be
grown successfully. Some varieties
if lillies demand a covering of
water to the depth of 12 inches.
Eight inches, at least is the aver
age amount of water which must
cover the lilies. Usually, tubs or
kegs are placed In the bottom of
the pool in which Is placed the soil
tor the lilies. One-third well
rotted cow manure and the rest a
good rich garden loam is the ideal
soil. The lily roots are planted so
that the crown is even with the
top of the soil. Care must be used
wot to cover the crowns. Planting
is done from early spring until
about the middle of June, but pot
grown plants may be set after that
date. A layer of c oarse sand
should be placed over the top of
the soU to prevent the fish from
riling the water. Of course, gold
fish will be wanted for the pool.
All forms of warm quiet water is a
breeding place for mosquitoes and
there should be gold fish to keep
them down. Where gold fish are
not used the pool must be drained
and cleaned out oftener.
A trickling stream of water
adds much to the charm of the
pool. The stream slowly winds its
Iron Furniture Popular

For Iron Garden Furniture
Lacquered Iron furniture has
long been popular for the lawn
and garden. One of the main rea
sons for this popularity is doubt
less Its durability. Because of the
wear-resisting qualities of the lac

oughly coats the chairs and tables,

Beauty of Line and Finish

and of finish. Formerly all iron

Main Purpose
To Act as Cover, Old Fence
Can be Made Attractive
No planting is complete without the climbing vines.
These plants are used to cover all bare surfaces which would
otherwise be Unattractive. How barren is a cold stone build
ing or a wall without the greenery and bloom of a climbing
vine, or even the garden fence
shrubs and flowering plants.
The main purpose for vines
many times, the various vines
the arbor or trellis. Most vines of the perennial nature are
slow growing and a number of years are consumed before the
entire area is covered. However there is a rapid growing vine
in the form of the annual vine. This kind of vine may be
planted from seed each year and quick results follow.
By FRED BLAKE
The best and most popular per
ennial rine to use upon smooth
walls Is the Boston Ivy. This
vine grows rapidly after the first
few years, after the roots have be
come acustomed to the soil. The
foliage is a bright glossy green
which turns te a bronze in the
fall after the first touch df frost.
The leaves cover the entire area
and it must be watched to keep
from taking too much space such
as covering windows and doors.
The vine should be kept cut away
from wood work as it will in a
short time harm it. This vine
should not ' be mistaken for the
English Ivy which has a darker
color and larger leaf. The English
Ivy will not cling to a smooth sur
face and when used as a covering
for a wooden fence, trellis or ar
bor, will have to be tied up. It is
also a fine plant for a ground cov
er to be used on a steep bank.
Oregon Foliage Beautiful
The Virginia creeper Is of the
same general type as the English
Ivy except that it looses its leaves
in the winter. It must be tied to
the object Which it is to climb. It
ptoduces a beautiful green foliage
when grown to a trellis beside
the house or along the garden
fence. The Japanese honeysuckle
has been an old favorite for years
and as a cover for old buildings,
fences and arbors has no equal.
It grows in a thick mass with
small leaves and sweet scented
flowers. It is sometimes used as a
cover for trellisses, garden fences,
and steep slopes.

The clematis and wisteria are In
a class by themselves. These are
the two vines which are universal
ly used for the artistic planting.
Their use is mostly confined to the
home Itself. The clematis climbs a
lattice attached to the house and
the wisteria covers the porch or
pergola.
Clematis vines are popular be
cause of their profusion of blooms
in shades of soft lavenders, pur
ples and white. These vines should
be planted in a light sandy soil.
The growth of any Tine will be
strengthened if a shovelful of rich
manure is placed in the hole in
tended for the root. A few inches
of soil mwt be placed over the
manure before the root Is placed.
Clematis vines grow from the
ground each year. After a few
heavy frosts the vine will be kill
ed and then is the proper time to
cut it te the ground. Each spring
the young shoots must be trained
to the trellis or arbor.
Wisteria Most Artistic
The wisteria is the most artis
tic of all the vines with its clus
ters of long blue or pink flowers.
The wisteria is trained along the
top of the porch or pergola where
the drooping clusters of blooms
become most effective. This Tine
grows considerably in a season
and must be subjected to severe
pruning at the proper season. It is
well to know that the wisteria has
two kinds of stalks, namely the
leaf stalk and the bloom stalk.
When pruning during the winter,
all of the leaf stalks may be safe-

ly cut off as plaaty wiU form. Tha
object is to retaia aU of the bloom
stalks in order to obtain as many
blooms as possible. The leaf stalk
is easily distinguished, from th
bloom stalk. The leaf stalk la long
and smooth whlla the bloom stalk
is short and itubby and contains
small horn-like projections.
So mueh tor tha perennlan
vines. The annual vines art large
in number but not ia popularity.
Tears ago these rines were more
widely used than they art today.
Tha cardinal climber is consid
ered tha most beautiful aad bril
liant annual climber. It is a strong
and rapid grower which will in a
short time cover tha trellis with a
tern-like foliage. Tha Tine Is cov
ered with a blaze of circular, car
dinal red flowers which bloom
from mid-summer until frost. All
annual vines are sown directly in
their permanent bed. The cypress
vine is also a climber of rapid
growth and will attain in a sea
son from tea to fifteen feet. It
has a delicate fern-like foliage and
a great number of star shaped
blossoms with long tubes. Plant
ing gourds is an old time prac
tice. This vine not only produces
a rapid cover for porches but it
also bears fruits of curious shapes.
This vine is not generally used in
the cities, but is sometimes seen
on some of the older farm homes.
Morning Along Good Screen
The morning glory and cucum
ber vine make a quick screen, but
it must be remembered that it is
harder to rid the soil of this plant
than to seed it. Once in. It is next
to impossible to remove it. The
roots creep under the soil, spread
ing rapidly. Before planting thesa
seeds, be sure that Hot other plant
wiU be placed la that location.
The nasturtium is very popular as
an annual, although it does not at
tain a great height. It may be
used to cover fences and other
low objects. This plant blooms un
disturbed from early summer un
til frost. The nasturtium usually
seeds itself, enough seeds from
the original planting germinating
in the spring. Nasturtiums flower
more freely when planted in a ra
ther poor sou.
