enced persons, as is done in some cities
under the contract system where the
planting goes to the lowest bidder.
When the frontage owner is compelled
to pay for trees absolutely worthless
and while he is waiting for the trees
TO die, so much time is lost in which
good trees properly selected and
planted. would have made substantial
growth, to the delight instead of the
dlsmay of the owner of frontage.
Inc pruning and trimming of street
trees should be placed in competent
hands, for no street tree, however,
beautiful, is safe from attacks of the
saw and ak in the hands of some ignor-
ant person, who not only often destroys
the symmetry of it but generally in
hlcts ugly raw wounds to invite the
entrance Of destructive fungi which
cause premature death to the trees.
Tree lawns along residence streets
should be made as wide as possible
and the roadways narrowed to an alb
solute necessity for utility of their pur-
pose (thirty or thirty-two feet is suffi-
cient.) The trees when possible
should be planted five or six feet back
from the curb-line; this without any
other protection would save it from
being gnaWed by ill-bred horses, but
trees close to the sidewalk must be
protected from the boys whiting
knife. -. tl.,t-f--E,
The planting of shrubbery and
flowers on street lawns cannot be
popularized for the reason that very
few plants will do well in shaded situa-
lions, or under trees; and on account
Of the depreciation to which they are
subject to by dogs and boys along our
public thorofares. Therefore, besides
the planting Of shade trees, our front
lawn gardening should not extend be-
yond the sidewalk line, but what really
should be encouraged is the planting
of the backyard and screening off Of
outbuildings.
The suburban house grounds should
be treated differently. Here the
planting should be done in the most
Informal manner and possible existing
natural features or decorative crea-
tons, may to good advantage be ex-
tended SO as to skirt the adjoining
driveway or public highway.
The most successful suburban home
in it's enchanting effect, is created by
judicious natural planting of trees and
shrubs, and by preserving or stimu-
lating other spontaneous growth in
untamed luxuriance.

ent kinds will fertilize each other, as
1t is we'll known fact that many of
our best improved native varieties are
self sterile when planted alone. After
planting, shallow cultivation should
be kept UP often enough to keep
down all weeds and grass of whatso-
ever kind, allowing nothing to grow
In the orchard but the trees and per
haps some low-growing hoed crop,
and the ground should receive a good
dressing of we'll rotted manure either
In spring or fall of each year until
the trees are we'll into bearing, after
which time the land may be seeded
to medium red clover and the clover
cut from time to time and left on the
ground as a fertilizer.
The Prunas Americana or. native
plum is supposed to endure the eli
mate Of the northwest anywhere this
side of the Canadian line, and per-
haps beyond. A word Of caution NAV
be timely here to all who contemplate
purchasing plum trees, to be sure
from some trustworthy source that
your trees are grated on native plum
roots. Minnesota nurserymen are
growing their plum trees by the above
method at the present time Should
there still be those that are grating

aware of the fact.
There may be readers who are in
cl1ned to deride the name, native
plum. But it their true name, and we
cannot change it if we would. They
were here before the white man
came. They are still with us, but in
a very much improved form But YOU
may ask, how has this been brought
about? It has been done largely bv
planting pits of the best and growing
them to fruiting age. Planting the
pits of the best of these seedlings
and growing them until they bore
fruit which was perhaps crossed. fer
tilted by some good varieties growing
near by. Planting pits of the best Of
these as before, and so on. This work
has been carried forward for the last
thirty-five or forty years by "a few
persistent. pmns-taking. hopeful hor-
ticulturists that would not recognize
the meaning of the word fail" And
