ferent streets Of our city, which should,
for the sake of general interest, be
strictly followed.
OF elm trees we want to state that
a heading down of this variety should
never be done, for the graceful, slen-
der appearance of this variety will be
lost, never to be regained. In general,
except where trees are for years neg
lected, we will say that each variety
of tree should by yearly pruning be
kept into the shape of its individual
diagram. In other works, the pyra-
midal shape of a Carolina poplar, the
more or less dome shape of the boil
leana or silverleaf poplar, the round
headed, dropping shape of most of the
elms, etc, should be preserved in prun-
ing the tree.
This will clearly demonstrate, by
looking over many mistreated trees
in our city, how much tree butchering
and how little tree trimming is being
done. In fact, a great number Of trees
when they had the power of speech
would be constantly crying about the
bad treatment they are receiving. And
the same might be said about shrubs in
regard to trimming, early Towering
varieties should be trimmed after
blooming, others in the spring of the
| year; some, very severely, others again

them all TO one certain shape, as so
many sheep, for each variety has its
peculiar requirement.
Of rOSebushes we want to state that
nearly all being budded on wild stock,
special care should be given in cutting
of all such wild shoots as will Always
sprOut out from the roots. They are
easily distinguished with little at
tentiOn from the cultivated rose shoots,
but by not paying special care, such
roses Will be running wild and be
disappointment, sometimes wrongly
blamed to the nurserymen.
We would call attention to the per-
ennial plants, of which a great num-
Der of varieties give an opportunity
of decorating grounds and gardens in
extensively, as once planted and well
established, they give a perpetual sat
isfactiOn. One also might arrange
now for a hotbed to raise some of our
most needed annual flower plants, of
which the standard varieties are too
well known to need any description.
Suffice to state that relating the de-
tails of the subjects already named,
we take pleasure in offering all in
formation requested, as space does not
allow US to define all such varieties
in the details needed.
But, being greatly interested in the
ornamentation and the Identification
of our city, we will gladly furnish all
information to attain results. We do
not doubt that our sincere efforts will
be appreciated by those interested in
beauty and the good appearance of our

tual effort and the opportunities Of

CONDUIT is TOO SMALL
Park Board Asks That Old Irrigation
Ditch be Rebuilt.

In letter to the city council, filed
with the city recorder yesterday, the
park board calls attention to the cOndi-
ton Of the small conduit under the
street at Seventh East and Ninth
South streets, built by the Utah Light
& Railway company. 1t is claimed by
the park board that the conduit is too
small and that serious damage may be
done to Liberty park if Hood waters
from Emigration canyon come down in
anything like the quantities expected.
The old irrigation ditch was destroyed
by the street car company, is is
claimed, and thus binders the park from
using much of this water for the lawns.
They suggest that the company be
compelled to rebuild the ditch.

Garden Suggestions For March
Issued By Supt. Nick Byhouwer

will be appreciated and we know that
by following such advice and sugges-
lions the beauty of our city can be
greatly enhanced. In many instances
our home grounds are overdone in re-
gard to planting, while with the same
expense the appearance might be great
ly improved by following no. closely
the lines of natural arrangement.
For city residence home grounds in
general, five principal points should be
strictly adhered to:
First-To leave the center lawns
open; that is, do not cut up the lawn
for a flower bed, or do not crowd the
space with shrubs, rose bushes, etc.
Second-When shrubs, roses or plants
are needed to screen or border the
place for the purpose of Obscuring I'M
slightly views, or to render more Sc
cluded appearance, let such borders
be formed by curved lines as in the

Third-Cover all unsight,y objects

clubhouse or other such objects.
Fourth-Avoid the planting of more
shrubs or trees as are really neces-
sary, considering that each specimen
needs sufficient room to develop its
individual beauty without being kept
in bounds by too close trimming.
Fifth and Principal Point-Do not
ever consider the making of your home
grounds of any less Importance than
the building of your residence, and in
employing some one to plan and make
such grounds be just as careful in the
selection of such a gardener as you
would in selecting your architect. In
regard to the trimming, or better, the
pruning of trees, we want to say the
following:
As a lining of street planting, trees
should be as much as possible of uni
form height and shape This is, how
ever, difficult to obtain where the trees
are of different variety. With this in
view we have already before recon-
mended the variety of trees for the diff
