vERouRous LAWNS AND FOLIAGE.
An Engiishman Tells About the Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.

An Engiishman Tells About tho Careful
Gardening In His Native Land.
Lewis Rose, IA practical gardener,
came to this country 10 years ago from
| England, where he was a farmer, and
he trims and cuts according to English
rules. Speaking of this country, he said:
You Americans do not know what
good lawns are. In England the houses
of the gentry are surrounded by acres
of green sward that looks just like vel
vet. They NOW the grass with ma
chine every week, and after the mower
comes heavy stone roller that rolls ID
down as flat as piece of paper. 1t is
just as smooth as that table cover there
stretched over the table. The roller ia
to press down and heal any little break
or tear in the turf made By the machine.
Ii you break the turf anywhere, it Is
just like, breaking your skin. You
must fix 1t directly, or there will be a
sore place on the lawn. Even il it gets
we'll there will always be scar there
unless you mend 1t carefully. You
should see the English lawns after a
shower! The green is beautiful, and
every blade of grass stands up straight,
but all the little blades are of exactly
the same length, and they look soft and
level The perfume of the new grass
is delightful. They. have windows gem
orally that come down to the floor, and
on the walls outside the house are
climbing rose bushes all in bloom. The
combined odor of roses and new mown
grass is very pleasant. 4a
You have to go at a. lawn as If IL
were a piece of embroidery you were
at work on. First you must have good
rich, decaying, mold for the grass to
live on. You cannot make grass grow
in sand Then as the grass comes up
you must go over it step by step and
dig out all the coarse grass and weeds
and be sure to mend each place after
digging up the roots. Then you will be-
gin to find patches where no grass ap-
pears. You want to have grass seed
handy and sow these places with it.
water my lawns twice day-in the
morning before the sun gets fairly up
and at night after it goes down. / NOW
the grass every week. After you have
- oOoN lawn JOu iiuoO WdbSA OfCly
inch of it. You have no idea how easy
it is to let patch here and there get
poisoned to death. When you find any
foreign substance on lawnthat is like
ly to poison the grass, you want to dig
it up, put fresh soil and fertilizer un-
der it and fit new and healthy bit of
turf in the hole you have made. Then
keep an eye on it afterward and water
it we'll. The rich, deconposed sweep
ings from the stable make the best fer
tilizer.
In pruning trees you want to cut off
every long shoot and make your trees
compact and bushy like a full blown
rose. Even wealthy Americans let their
trees get scrawny, and they don't al
ways cut them enough to prevent decay
in some of the branches. 1t is easy to
trim trees if you understand this prin-
ciple. And the only reason have been
successful with my lawns is that have
been willing to take pains with them
and do lot of hard work.-New York

The SEA SONG.

There Is no song unto the sea unknown,
With wild dance melodies and laughter low.
Its happy ripples frolic to and fro;
With passionate lovelays breathed In under
tone,
II woos the quiet night; with wailing moan,
1t sobs to clouded skies its tale of woe;
With triumph song as DER some vanQuished
foe,
II passes on with foamy locks wind blown.
And dirges to the dying ear It brings,
And requims chanted soft Of waves that
weep,
And strange dead marches, as with muf-
fed drums,
1t beats on lonely shores and when night
comes,
4 tender, grooming lullaby 1t sings,
Rocking its own unto eternal sleep.

Danger In Ice Water:

Many people owe summer sickness to
the too free use of ice water. 1t is a
question if any real ice water is safe.
That which is cold without coming di-
rectly from the ice is quite as satisfying
and is not dangerous. Strong men have
died in fifteen minutes from the effects
of drinking copiously of ice water while
highly heated by hard work or the sun.
