trees that are best calculated for shade
and which are worthy of trial.
In my opinion we want hardy, thrifty
trees that are witty and hardy on our
prairies where the wind has full sway.
Among those l prefer are e1ms, rock
maple, linden, white ash, catalpa, horse
chestnut, honey locust, cofeenut, and
We may add some Of our nutproducing
trees VIII L do not generally bear trans
planting sell, but grow readily from
seed, such as hickory, pecan, walnut,
oak and chestnut. To these may be add
ed such other shade and ornamental
trees as may succeed in the immediate
locality. Among the most desirable
evergreens that are hardy and presume
will be best adapted TO this immediate
locality / would name the Norway
spruce fir, balSam or silver FIR, white
pine, hemlock, Austrian and Scotch frs.
To these may be added sayin, a dwarf
specie of cedar, perfectly hardy, dark
green and which never browns OF fades
in winter; also red cedar, native of
this vicinity. which must succeed under
any ordinary treatment. There are
other ornamental trees that may be sue
cessfully grown here by nursing, by
growing some other tree or plants TO
shade them till they are well established.
when the shades can be cut away.
I now come to the adornment of
homes, which is probably of more gen.
eral interest than any other part of this
subject and cannot be successfully treat
ed upon in an article of this kind con-
nected with the other reading. Yet
must caution all new beginners in max
ing a lawn not to plant too many trees
and to avoid anything like straight
rows. If you have not the aid Of land
scape gardener or any such work IS
"Downing's Landscape Gardening" or
aWeidermann on Beautifying Country
Homes to consult, allow me TO say
that instead of straight rows and walks
the later style is gentle curves with
trees arranged in clumps and fringes on
the borders of the grounds surrounding
open spaces to show the lawn to the
best advantage. Flowers. too. should
not be regularly distributed throughout
the grounds, but in compactly arranged
beds which take up less ground and are
more easily cared for and protected and
show off our grounds to better adYan-
tage. q. 3. RAaAN,
