SHADE AND FaUrr Taxn.-About this
time plant trees. Shade or fruit trees
add greatly to the beauty and value Of
~anybody's premises, and now Ia the
timo TO set them out. Most especially
do ws recommend to our Virginia neigh
bors to set ont afY the trees they can In
the burnt district. Trees will thrive
well there and should DO growing while
the houses arc building. II Is Q well
demonstrated fact that trees and shrub
berry OF most any variety grow well
throughout this section after . year or
40, with very little care and attention,
and they IAN be obtained Ut very cheap
rates, therefore every man should make
II his duty 10 plant at least n tree.
Even q grape vino twining about q porch
or q window Ii q thing OF beauty. and a
handsome locust or poplar growing In
ones front yard Ii o very tasteful and
attractive arrangement. For further
