distortion is becoming altogether hreEa

posed return to nature. Let us not
forget in the treatment of our places
that nature unadorned is adorned most.
and that the normal, naturally pruned
tree or shrub is much more beautiful
than the one which has been trimmed
into mimicry of some artificial object.
Trees and shrubs should be used
to conceal unsightly objects in the fore

the idea of surprise or discovery in
passing from one portion of a large es-
tate to another, and for the purpose
of increasing the apparent length in
drives which double back upon them

Evergreens which are used upon the
lawn should have the lower branches
preserved so as to produce the effect
of raising from the ground not merely

In procuring seed for establishing
lawn. too great care cannot be exer-
clsed: Pure seed, Of high termination,
IS OF great Importance in securing a
good stand of grass. Pure seed is the
keynote to clean lawn, provided the
work OF preparing the land has been eff
fciently done. Thoro preparation in
wolves not merely the mechanical treat
ment of the soil to reduce it to proper
seedbed, but the use of weed-free ma
nure and the adoption Of course of
treatment previous TO preparing for the
lawn which will serve to seradicate
weeds. Such preparation, coupled with
pure. seed, should give a satisfactory
the usual care necessary to maintain a
lawn after it is once established. Too
much cannot be said in favor Of secur.
ing pure seed, and. if possible, special.
" selected seed. This is of considera
BILE Importance with light seeds like
bluegrass. redtop, and seeds of the bent
grasses. In the case of bluegrass, Sc
lect seed weighs about TWENTY-FIVE
pounds to the bushel, while the ordinary
grade of bluegrass, altho it may be
called pure. averages about twelve
pounds to the bushel. Select or re
cleaned bluegrass is, therefore, the most
economical to buy, altho the origina
cost is considerably more than that Of
the common commercial article.
