Time to Turn Thoughts
to Planting of Bulbs

with the Last Roses Of Summer"
which may be seen i'm small numbers
in our. gardens, and while the leaves
OF some Of our trees are commencing
to fall-during this month we turn our
thoughts TO the planting OF bulbs,
hardy plants. vines, roses, etc. at least,
we should order now such OF these
varieties as we want TO adOrn our gar
dens next spring.
The fragrant hyacinths and narcis-
sus. the tulips. crocus. snowdrops.
hardy lilies and a great variety OF per
ennial plants, peouies. etc. should all
be planted during the latter part or
this or during the following month.
and rosV bushes. vines. such as Gle
can be planted. provided little win
ter protection can be given Ana tho
trees for fan planting should oe
ordered. also shrubs; while lawns
should be made during this month. or
rc-secdCd. Tn fact. lawns planted ia
the fan will get good start before
winter thus saving a. great zeal on
labor in sprinSling during next sprinE
and summer and forming stronger
turf than when planted in the sprig-
Trees TO select.
Selecting shade trees for our local
ity. a choice should DE made 81 those
varieties which are best adapted 60 our
climate. besides being less liable to dis
ease and attacks OF insects. The sill
yer. Norway and SYCAMORE maple the
SYCAMORE or Oriental plane. are some
| OF the very best trees. while the green
ash is also a very good tree the
Carolina poplar is very useful on dc-
count OF its rapid growth. and the
American linden. while not attaining
| a large size. is "a fine tree. being. like
| the others named, unusually free from
any disease. Films. being so liable To
| scale. and our native box elder. being a
verttablo breeding place Tor the green
| aphis. we cannot recommend.
In selecting any OF the trees named.
/ the soil and location must be consid-
IA smnu "a.
| ways pleased to give. In regard 20
/ planting bulbs and hardy plants. space
/ Will not permit ms 20 give the Nailelies
! most desirable but we are always
/ willing to assist with the best instruc-
] tion whenever needed.
/ In planting spring Towering bulbs q
/ rich. but more or less sandy, soil should
! be pre- pared and the bulbs planted at
! n depth below the surface Of six. five
I four and three inches, for lilies. mar
/ cissus and hyacinths. tulips, crocuscS
/ and snowdrops, respectively. as 1eei
] planting may cause the bulnS 20
| weaken and decay. and shallow plant
ing will cause premature growth and
| destruction
we want 20 call special attention Ga
| some late Towering tulips. Darwin and
/ May Towering tulips. blooming several
| weeks later than the common Tulips
[ and. being more hardy, lasting many
years IL left undisturbed I'm the ground
| and for that reason. very appropriate
/ FOR planting I'm borders among shrub
berry. etc. The Darwin tulip. present
/ ing a great number OF colors and beau-
tiful shades. with long flower stems
makes a fine flower for cutting.
Time for PcOnies.
This Is also the time peonics should
/ be planted: I'm fact the only time, II
| flowers are TO be expected. feonle'
| require very rich soil and a partly
/ shaded location. There are not less
! than 500 varieties. early and late tloW-
eriug. The officinalis rubra and alba
are the Memorial day varieties, tncr
follow the cdebI tpinkl. Queen Vic
toria Cwhite). etc. including some very
beautiful and very fragrant varieties
The peony is very useful flower. Oh
very easy culture, and should always
find a place i'm any garden.
Before concluding we are inclined
n 20 say something about our shade trees
Il planted along our streets. That these
trees are a valuable asset TO the prop
erty upon which they abut. when prop
| erlv cared for. no one viii dispute; tina
they. however. are a disgrace TO prop
