points: In planting. make plenty large
noles, using good rich soil and no
manure In contact with the roots, fairly
well tramp down the soil after filing
around and in between the roots, or
wash down the soil (puddling) In the
holes. Cut smooth with a sharp knife
the bruised ends of the roots. and trim
on AFTER planting rose bushes to about
eight inches from the ground and
about one-third or one-fourth of the
length OF wood from each tree or shrub,
(this means from the last years
growth). A good tree. or other shrubs,
planted In such manner Is bound to
efoV, provided Il Is in good condition,
not dry or shriveled when received, and
in no other manner can be expected to
do well.
When We consider that every year In
our city not less than 5000 rose plants
and great number of deciduous shrubs
and trees are set out. the small number
OF good rose bushes seen does not prove
that the planting OF same Is correctly
done.
Now, also plant your sweet peas, seeds
OF wild cucumber vines, morning glory,
hardy bluebulbs. gladion daisy. pansy,
seeds or nasturtiums. sweet allyssum.
Portuiaca, mignonette, etc. However,
for the majority of varieties Of annual
flowers It Is too early yet.
Perennial Flowers.
When one remembers to have seen
regular old-fashioned flower garden,
he will undoubtedly agree with US the
usefulness In naming few of those old
but beautiful plants which always can
be seen in gardens Of this style: Per-
ennial peoples. bleeding heart, peren-
NAL fax. golden glow. the old English
thrift. wall flowers. rocket. larkspur.
fox glove. pinks. hardy carnation, love
in mist, columbine, Adonis, etc., ETC.,
are few OF the very long list of these
most satisfactory plants, which. once
established. render continual pleasure.
Vines-
To cover neatly without being trou-
bled with tying up good vine, clinging
to rock. brick and even window glass, is
the genuine Boston ivy. Ampelopsis
Veitchi. Our old Virginia creeper (four
var1eties) is good for quick effect, but
does not cling so well. For shady loca-
ton the Clematis Paniculata (white and
very fragranD, and for sunny locations
the purple Clematis Jackmani and the
red Clematis Ville de Lyon are SPLEEN
did. OF trailing roses the old-standard
crimson cannot be beat. However, the
Philadelphia rambler dark red) and the
pink Dorothy Perkins are very good. |
White and yellow roses are always
short for blooming period, though the
white Baltimore Belle and the Yellow |
Keystone are well worth having. We
know about q hundred more, but to |
have the best is to have enough. We |
see mistakes made sometimes in plant |
ing the old English ivy (Hedera) at |
sunny exposures: in our climate they |
only do well at the north or west side |
of wan or building.
Shrubs.
Besides the well known shrubs OF our /
gardens, we like to introduce to. the lay |
man or amateur, some really beautiful |
shrubs not very often met with, but /
very well fitted for this climate, as the |
Currant, with beautiful red |
towers; China plum (flne pink, and |
Peach (pink), Kerria or
Globe flower. from Japan; beautiful |
yellow and continually blooming; Gold
IN bell (Forsythia), which is the first !
