It Is well-nigh impossible to con-

this matter. What 10 cheap is under

Z 1t will perhaps be urged by some of
our readers that the tenor of this arti-
lescarcely hArmonizes with the con-
hfant advOeacy Of ,shade-tree planting.
But there is no real Inconsistency, In
'asmuch as We do not advise the close
enYiropment of houses with trees.
They should be kept ut q respectful
distance OF II they musts approach
nearer, to the dwelling than IL ,desira-
BILE, they should not be 90 thickly
planted but, that the sun, con- Vget
around and between them. 1t. must
not be forgotten that too close planting
Of trees is fatal to their best develop
ment, When two trees, for example,
are too near eachother, both are rob
bed Of Q, share of, their symmetry and
beauty. To get the best results from
tree planting, 30 far as the appearance
Of the trees themselves are concerned,
there should be access Of sunshine to
every side Of them. 10 is thus chat Ma
ture 10 consistent with herself, what Is
best for human wei1lbeing IL best also
for the weltbeing Of these, vegetable
grpwths which add so greatly TO the
