yards are apt to set their bush roses

the grass. Thus placed they spoil the
appearance of the green carpet, and
come in the way of the mower and of

at freedom on the sod. Excepting some
rare and thrifty forms which look well
from all sides, they appear to much
greater advantage if grouped in bed
or beds at the side or rear of the grassed
level; the tallest in the middle or at the
back; and with lilies, peonies, and
other rerenrials helping to fill tt =

culture such a bed of shrubbery requires
is dressing of fine manure, vegetable

care to pull out in time all other plants
that show themselves before they get
