Many people never suspect their

ORNAMENTING A CITY LOT
Prof Culley Addresses Horticultural Society and Gives
Some Valuable Points Laying Out Gardens and Yards

are the woodbine, wild clematis, Bit
ter sweet and grape vine, while even
the poison ivy could be planted to keep
boys Off.
As to trees, there is hardly any use
to give much attention to trees, as
most city lots have too little space for
them and city civilization does not
agree with them.
Professor Gulley strongly urged that
the children be interested in plants,
each one in the family to have some
particular one, and the results would
be very beneficial. He said he did not
believe very much in nature study as
it was carried On now touching the
flowers and the birds but shying off
when it comes to the insects. A knowl-
edge of the insect pests and how to
protect against them and disease is
really the whole secret of successful
plant raising.
This training for the young gener-
alton will be of advantage in the COM
ing years, as the tendency now seems
to be away from city life and back to
country life.
In response to some questions after
he had finished his talk Professor Gull
ley impaired some interesting infor-
nation about the various insect pests
which are being fought all over the
mostly the result of importation, and
they found here an even more favor
able climate than in the countries they
came from, so that they became a pest
in their new home while they might
not have been noticed in their old,
where pests and their parasites kept
the balance more nearly even.
A unanimous vote OF thanks, pro-
posed by B. P. Bishop, was accorded
the speaker before the meeting adj
journed.
A number of towering potted plants
were on exhibition in the hall. among
which were two pots of pansies, which
had been kept under cloth by
William Ives through the win
ter, the cloth having been removed
only ten days ago. The remarkably
strong bushy plants were greatly ad-
mired, and Mr.. Ives was complimented
for his fine exhibit.

A public meeting was held Monday
evening at the Buckingham Memorial
by the New London county horticul-
tural society, with an attendance of
about thirty. as the sharp thunder
storm came up just in time to deter
many who might have attended. Aft

ing the reading of Secretary Frank H.
Aliens minutes of the last meeting,
President S. Alpheus Gilbert introduce
ed the speaker of the evening, who
was Prof. Alfred G. Gulley, who Is in
charge Of the horticultural department
at the Connecticut agricultural college
at Storrs.
The Ornamenting Of a City Lot, and
Herbaceous Plants, were the subjects
for Professor Gulley's talk, which was
listened to with close attention as he
unfolded in a general way what might
be done for beautifying city lot He
was speaking not to the professional
gardener but the man with a small
place. and there is a wide chance for
planting and beautifying small piece
of ground even by the man who knows
very little about it, and at small ex-
pense. First, there is a wealth of an
.nuals that can be. used, easy to han
die and so many can be produced in
a 5lQIL .NllllG- AS al example. Lne
sweet pea which can be best grown
on chicken wire.
To one going deeper into it, there Is
wide range in perennials. which are
easily started easily grown, and once
started take care of themselves. They
can be used almost anywhere, massed
in banks, in clumps, or in single
plants. The only objection is their not
lasting. which means there must be a
variety. Then come the shrubs, which
can be used most effectively, for
dumping, IN masses and for continual
show. But for the country dweller
with plenty Of room. he advised buying
the tiny shrubs from the wholesaler
and raising them to suitable size
After the shrubs come the climbers.
and there is hardly a place where they
cannot be used and in profusion.
Among the kinds adapted for much
more extensive use than at present

NATIONAL AND GRAND

dresses.

Ionic camp, No. 1894 Modern Wood
men, had a visit from three OF the
national and grand officers Monday
evening at it's meeting in Foresters'
hail, which was an open meeting, to
which members invited their men
friends, and at which two applications
for membership were received. Past
Consul Archie Everett presided in the
absence OF Consul Allen c. Matthews
National Lecturer Edward + Burns
of Newark n. J.. State Deputy o. A.
Palmer of Burlington, VT, and District
DEPUTY Joseph r. Hughes Of Hartford
were the visitors, who were introduced
to the meeting by the presiding Off
GER for n very conclusive statement of
the benefits to be derived from mem
bership and the growth and stability
of the order. One institution upon
which particular stress was laid was
the tuberculosis sanatorilm establish
ed by the Modern Woodmen at Colo
rado Springs, and opened last Janu-
airy, where patients are under treat
ment. It was stated by National Lee
turer Burns that the mortality expe-
rience Of the order from tuberculosis
had been much above the average of
fraternal orders, as out of $4,000
deaths about 1000 had been from this
disease but the order was taking
far-sighted step in establishing this
sanatoriUm. and in view of the re-
markedly good record Of the order in
dropping assessments. it was suggest
ed that the members Of the camps
make a voluntary contribution to equip
more Of the small houses in which the
patie6,s are treated. When a camp
or district or state furnishes money
for one Of these houses, the house is
given its name and any patients sent
from that state are quartered in the
corresponding camp. George H. Stan
ton spoke in comm endstion Of The san
atorium, and after an expression OF
thanks to the officers for their visit
the nesting adjourned.
