only should the paintings approach to,
lines of the latter should actually 'melt''
into the landscape without losing either
it's personality as the home, or its
identity as the center of the picture.
This last is secured by appropriate
paintings of shrubs, climbers, flower
border edgings, etc.
Mass Planting. - These should be
planted in every place to secure foliage
effect. They should, Of course, include
Towering trees and shrubs, and edg-
ings of bright fower-borders, but
only as accentuation, and to add to
the beauty of the WHOLE Now the
term ''mass planting does not mean
that the trees and shrubs be jammed to-
gether in two straight lines, but the
entire effect should be a mass of irregu-
lar natural planting. The background
may consist of grove or orchard, or, III
lieu of this, large ornamentals. The
side paintings, at the rear, should be
large and of heavier foliage working
downward toward the center with small
Ter trees and shrubs of more delicate or
fantastic foliage, with the fower-borders
to edge the lawn as a connecting link.
Specimen plants may be isolated SO far
as to give room for perfect development,
but should ne1er be placed far enough
from the mass to be considered as
separate specimens, so that the onlooker,
instead of saying "What pretty
shrub" will say "What beautiful SUR
roundings for home! What lovely
picture!" In short, there should be no
straight lines, but rather sweeping
curves, lines broken by inlets and bays,
making infinite masses of light and
shade and foliage character.
In succeeding numbers we will take
up more detailed questions of orna-
mental gardening giving explicit direc-

tions and other details on plant mater
ials, etc. Any reader desiring informa-

quite as harmful results, if not more so,
than too little. For securing vegetative
growth, use nitrogen, nitrate of soda
being a good form. This is best ap-
piled as rule, in the early rather than
the late part Of the growing season as
it tends to delay the period of maturity.
In applying potash the muriate is gen
orally considered the best form because
of its cheapness and comparative uni
formity. These two elements, with
phosphoric acid, are the chief elements
that need to be added to the soil.
Though for small places, and for some
other special cases, the ready-1nixed
''comp1ete' fertilizers, sold under
guaranteed analysis, are usually prefer

In the laying out of the grounds, first
consider the objects in view-bldn your
LANDSCAPE picture. This, the most i'm
pOrtant consideration of all is as a rule,
the one point receiving the least atten-
ton. The general attitude taken to-
ward gardening is that it consists Of
putting the plants in the ground giving
them an occasional watering, and "letting
Nature take it's course" And the result
is deplorable failure (Then the oper-
ator takes up raising chickens) In
other words, don't consider the plants as
individual units, to be placed in con-
is for nurseries and botanical gardens
But so plan the grounds that each plant
will be merely a factor contributing to
one broad effect-that is, the landscape
picture
Having found that we want a picture
in the landscape, the next cOnsidera-
ton is, what are the elements making
up such a composition First, the ground
work upon which to build this should
be good smooth greensward Next
the central object, which should be the
home And, to throw that into relief,
a good background is required and, to
frame in the whole, cutting out all
extraneous matters, suitable side plant
ings are necessary. (Of just what these
paintings should consist we will take up
later.) Having thus laid the founda-
tions, let us take up the more detailed
considerations
The Greensward. = Preferably this
should be slightly rising ground ap-
preaching the home-but where this
condition does not exist, much can be
done to secure the same effect by means
of judicious planting 1t is desirable
for this to cover by far the larger part
of the grounds, Aanked on each side by
heavy paintings which, in front, should
be at the extremties of the picture and
should sweep back with increasing
strength and focus at the home. Above
all, do not cut up the sward with flower
| beds sumner horses or even roads or
paths. These should all be made sub
servient to the main features, and should
skirt the open ground, serving to edge
the border-plantings

1he recent freeze tndI swept over
Florida, doing so much damage to the
fruit and vegetable crops of the State,
has an interesting feature in the study
of the hardness of ornamental plants,
both native and those introduced from
time to time both through the Depart
ment of Agriculture and private inter
ests. That this question of ornamental
planting is Of moment to both the prac-
tica1 horticulturist as we'll as to those
interested in landscape art, is beyond
question. For all persons in the State,
especially those interested in the buying
and selling of lands, know and appre
ciate the inestimable value Of the attrac
tive features of we'll planted properties.
Heretofore Florida, like all newly set
tied sections was almost given over to
the speculatOr and these seeking an easy
livelihood from the then considered
"Bonanza' Of the State-citrus fruits
But with the hard lessons of freezes,
whtefly etc. came reaction and many
are giving up the idea of rapidly ac
cumulating fortunes and are settling
down into the more desirable attitude of
slow, consistent development
Now, in gardening, as in almost any
thing worth while, the amateur especial
ly is likely to learn the full meaning of
the saying that there is no ''royal road
to learning" This applies fully as we'll
to the grown-up as to the child who digs
up the bean each morning to see if it
has yet sprouted For there is nothing
that repays careless, indifferent methods
SO disappointingly as Nature, nor is
there anything that gives such bounti-
full returns for a little judiciously
applied thought and we'll directed
energy For while what Emerson says
about "fools" and Consistency may
apply to humans, Madam Nature, on the
contrary, is painfully consistent She
has her laws, and woe to the transgres-
sor! And so, if the amateur will care
fully bear in mind the few lessons
learned either from hearsay, or, better
yet, through experience, and build upon
them the superstructure of his knOwl-
edge, Nature will not fail to respond
And just here few hints may be in
season: First properly prepare the soil
This is best done some time previous to
the planting, though that can not al
ways be accomplished. In any event,
for the general run of plants see that
the soil is we'll drained-that water does
not stand in puddles for day or two,
This may be accomplished by either
ditching or by tile-draining Next see
that it is in good condition as to physi-
cal texture (Nearly all soils are
benefited by additions of organic matter
for this reason alone. Then the plant
food that it contains is of varying value,
according to the needs of the plants
grown thereon) This condition may be
obtained by spading or plowing under
a green crop and allowing it to become
thoroughly decombosed, or else by mix
ing in considerable 7oeH rotted manure
For quick results, many forms Of COM
mercial fertilizers are better, but con-
siderable judgment should be exercised

wouldn't it be a joke if he would
drop his tray and spill the soup down
somebody's back?"
Such was the remark of one of
party of young people from this city
upon reaching an Albion restaurant for
oyster stews, after a merry bob ride
from town Wednesday night.
The words had hardly been uttered
when, sure enough, the waiter allowed
the tray 10 slip and down the back of
Miss Charlotte Hendershott, of Chi
cago. went a bowl OF soup and an
oyster. The joke was not appreciated
by Miss Hendershott. who screamed
with pain. and for a few moments was
hysterical. The young folks had taken
the precaution to have two physicians
in the party and first aid to the injured
was at hand Miss Hendershott was
not seriously burned. but the accident
was sufficiently to mar the pleasure of
the supper hour.
