Tending the Shrubbery.

People often imagine that q
shrubbery or bed of shrubs, once
planted, will go on of itself for
good. In fact, a shrubbery which
may appear neat, tidy and cared for
to the last degree may also be very
much neglected. In the course of a
little time the stronger and more
pushing plants will have completely
overgrown and ousted the more del
icate ones. The lady of the garden
wonders why the pretty guelder
rose and brilliant diervilla have dis
appeared, the answer being simply
that some great hearty laurel has
deprived them of light and air and
f" ID till the struggle has been too
hard for them. The careful garden
er is therefore continually watchful
for the well being of these more
tender and beautiful plants.-Lon-
don Taller.
