Masac or low growing plants are ' being nsed more and. more ia garden these day. ;A eorerlngs tor bank and terraces, as edgings tor pools and perennial borders, and as a sub stitute tor grass under trees aad In dense shade, these creeping plants bare a definite place in the garden. There are many ot these ground eorer plants, some ot which may be osed under almost any condition either in direct ex posure to the sun, or in the dens est-shade, some are erergreen, some bare insignificant flowers. and others such as the honeyauck Ie, hire beautiful flowers with a etronc oerfame. i One important item In order to obtain the ,best results from ground-cover plants, is the prep- i aratlon ot the soil before planting, ' The sell should be enriched with rotted manure and peat moss, ap plied! in about equal proportions, and rfoaded into the soil to a depth of from tour to six inches, de TtMidlnff on the type of soli and w hether the soil is covering a shal low rooted or a deep-rooted plant IAfhrsandra is Held One of Best One of the best of ground cover plants was introduced into this . countrv from Japan. This plant was known then' as the Japanese Source, but is no wcalled pacny tandra. These slants will grow un der any conditions. They are evef greed, perfectly hardy, and grow to an even neignt. it is auvisnDie tn nhtatn roar-old slants, and Tklane them four to the square toot This S plant is a member ot the boxwood family, and does not havei prominent flowers. They should be cut back with a sharp epade, if it is desired to keep these nlants within a restriciea urea Another evergreen ground cover l tku Enelish ivy. Heaera neiix There are a great many varieties of this olant. diffring in hardiness and raniditv of growth. The moat familiar tvoe has broad foliage I and grows rapidly in shady places. Ivy tequires deep soil, and does not thrive as well when planted under shallow rooted trees, but grows luxuriantly under deep root ed trees, or on banks with a north ern exposure or In shaded loca tion's! All ivys require pruning during growing season, as It ia somewhat uneven in its growth. The plants should be set about nine Inches apart. Common periwinkle is another ground cover plant. It' grows and blooms in shade as well as In sun HRhtJ and grows to a height ot from four to five Inches, and has attractive blue flowers. The plants should be set out four to the square toot. The ground ivy, Nepeta glecho ma. i$ a rapid grower, semi-evergreen and makes a beautiful creeper,' and is suited to moist lo cations. Common Speedwell Almost Evergreen Common speedwell, Veronica officinalis, is. almost evergreen. and has rotlong stems, grayish leaves and lixht blue flowers Foij well-drained soil .the wall seoner or stoneCrop. Sedum acre. is highly recommended, as it crows; two Inches high in thick masses like turf. It has yellow flowers, while others ot the se- ; dums Shave white or rose-coiorea flowers. The carpet bugle (Ajuga rep tenia) a hardy creeping plant growing to a height of from four to eight inches, is well suited for . use as a ground cover in partial shade.! and holds its foliage SEVEN GABLES PROVIDE THIS HOME'S MOTIF it- -o Here is a noma modeled after the House ot Seven Gables, made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne, famous American novelist. . Although smaller -than, the or iginal, this bouse, situated in the midst of a mass of beautiful foli age, should give as much of a thrill to one Interested la architec ture as the old Hawthorne home stead itself. The plan Is quite modern and easily constructed. The three bed rooms and bath and smalt sewing room are on the second .floor. There is room tor two Jeda and other furniture in ach bedroom The first floor is unusual in its arrangement ot the dining room. making it easy for service zxom the kitchen. The living room win dow has a seat toward the front. All bedrooms and important rooms on the first floor face front or toward the rear of the lot, mak ing it a desirable house for an in side lot The narrow clapboards . should be painted white, or all the ex terior could be made a French weathered grey. A bright orange shade should be nlaced at the windows to add col or. The roof is dark brown. The house should face south or west, on a lot at least 50 by 100 feet In area, and nreferably larger. It should cost between' $8000 and $10,000. - throughout the winter. The fol latra turns a dark brown aner heavy frosts. The flowers are purplish Dine, and are quite attractive. It they are set two to the square foot. these plans soon form a good mat of foliage. Mother of thyme (Thymus ser pyllum) may.be fused between flagstones, tor massing, or it may be scattered about the lawn. Whenever It is bruised, the flow ers exude the fragrance ot thyme. It spreads rapidly, and when used tor massing, the plants should be set out tour to the square toot. These plants described are only a few ot the many which may be used aa ground cover plants. 11 HIS I OF . '. . . ;..KiJ : i wm mm &t ill FOB M J Woodburn News I. Father of Zena Young man !
