Our Town--Fruit aud Ornamental IE'e'--
ShvnJEcry, &c.


The season having arrived for the commence
men, Of horticultural pursuits, it may not be out
ofplace for US to throw ont few hints to our
citizens in regard to Improvements which might
he made in our town, much to It's advantage and
with hu, little expense to our iuAabiuu's.
Every individual will readily acknowledge, that
the addition Of ornamental trees to public squares
and sidewalks, aids mueh to the appearance OF
q town and the comfort Of It's Inhabitants. The
same may be said Of yards aud gasasDs, when
ornancn.el with slrubhcry and flowers. Who
has ever passed beautiful garden, Ornamen''i
with shrubbery and flowers, without 0iminnG it,
and forming an exalted opinion Of its cu!dva'
tor? Says a distinguished writer: "Show me
n garden tlstefully onamcntel with shrubbc5y,
vines and flower beds and | will show you the
residence ogyirtuo, contentmcat, and hospitality.
II is not our purpose to write f,uay ar
ticlc on this subject, even if our pen were ca
pable Of indting one Our object Is to call the
attention of our readers to this natter and urge
the subject ON their constellation. The public
squares in this town are en.i7y destitute Of shade
trees. The square on which the Com. House is
ei,ue'ol IS now being enclosed and viii add much
to the appearance Of the town. Ii our citizens
will ABORT measures to ornament the grounds
with shade trees, it will add materially to the ap-
pcayance of the building, as well as reflect much
on the credit and good taste Of our citizens. 10
promote this object, VIC would recommend the
course pursued by other places in regard to this
matter. the formation OF 4 Horticultural Society
If such society were formed, and a number OIL
Young men were to engage in it, it would result
in much advantage to the place. Our groves
abound in beautiful! saPings, and with little care
and attention they could be transferred to our
public grounds.
The period has now arrived for grating and
transplanting fruit trees. We all admire the ia
yor ofthe peach and the ncctarinc, TO say nothing
of the apple and the pear. TO enjoy their pres
ence we must be worthy Of them company--we
must SOW the sec | or we cannot reap the harvest.
A small sum cannot be more proitably invested
than in choice fruit trees and remember that a
good fruit tree requires 10 more care and a'tcn-
ton than an inferior one. Our farmers, as yet,
have no, bestowed that attention to fruit trees
which their Importance deserves, and 10y proper
attention Lasallc county can he distinguished Is
well for her choice fruit as for her superior wheat
corn and other agricultural products.
