MAKE GROUNDS
ATTRACTIVE
Plant Trees and Flowers on a
Carefully Arranged Lawn
INCREASES CIVIC PRIDE
BEAUTY AND VALUE ADDED TO
HOME AND FARM, ALSO GREAT
EDUCATIONAL FACTOR.

In beautifying a home with gar
den, trees and other plants, there is
not only greater beauty and value
added to the home and the farm, but
the whole region is beautified. Then,
too, there is the educational factor,
in the way of love for the beautiful,
the knowledge of flowers, etc. 1t also
gives greater love for home and in.
creases civic pride.
The manner of beautifying, 0r lay.
ing out gardens and home grounds,
differs, of course, with the exposure,
the size of the grounds, arrangements
of buildings, and soil conditions and
many other things. Very pleasing eff.
fects can be cotton in many sections
of the country by planting castor
beans against the porches or houses,
with caiadiums, cannas, coleus cr ger.
aniums in front of them, but the best
results are had by planting such
shrubs as lilacs, mock orange, high
bush cranberries, altheas. spireas,
ninebark and vanhouttei against the
house or porch corners, with lower
growing shrubs, such as weigelia,
Japan ounce, California privet, snow
berries, Indian currant, thunbergia,
barberries, ETC., in front of the high
growing ones, forming a bank of foli-
age rising from the lawn up against
the house. These shrubbery effects
are permanent in character and are
almost as interesting when the twigs
are covered with snow as when in
bloom.
Backyard gardens may be made
either ornamental or useful, or both,
by raising vegetables in part of it in
such a way as to harmonic with the
rest of the garden. We have two gen
eral types of ornamental gardens. The
purely naturalistic and the geometric
or formal and artificial. In the for.
nal gardens such plants as cannas
stocks, balsams, castor beans, caladi.
llms, salyias, four o'clocks, afysSlIns
etc, may be used with low growing
plants, as borders around individual
masses OF the higher growing ones
These can be arranged in squares, cir
cles, stars and other geometric fig
ure-, with heavy grass lawns between
the beds and hedges of evergreens, ol
privet thunbergias, barberries Dor
dering the lawns and walks.
The natural garden requires the
least attention, as almost all plants
used are perennials. The cost the
least to maintain and give pleasing
winter effect. In such gardens all un

slightly features, such as sheds, house
foundations, porches, garbage boxes
etc., can be and should be screened
from view by proper arrangement OF
high growing shrubs, such varieties
as indicated for the planting of the
formal gardens for screening houses
and porches, etc.
In front of the shrubpery beds, for
forming bank of foliage against the
border such plants as hollyhocks
anemones, columbines, astors, cam
panulas, hardy chrusanthemums, core
opsis, larkspur, daphneums, suntow.
ers, daylilies, paeonies, phlox, golden
rods, ETC., should be used for making
"a pleasing effect.
In these Informal or natural gar
dens there should be planted a few
trees where they will form canopy
of green, under which a rustic bench
or a hammock may be placed.
If the back yard is to be used as a
vegetable garden, it would be we'll to
separate it from the front yard by a
hedge of some evergreen plants OF
trees.
The beauty of house may be en-
HANGED by the planting of plants and
flowers into window boxes. The win
dow boxes should be filled with the
richest soil and leaf mould so as to
give both nourishment and preserve
the moisture. The plants generally
used for planting in these boxes are
the following: The periwinkle, wan
dering Jew, nasturtium, sweepea
English ivy OF other vines, umbrella
palms, marguerites, geraniums, pc
tunias, coleus, begonias, etc.
The porches may be covered with
the same kind of plants in boxes OIL
in the ground. These porch and win
dow boxes should be we'll fastened, tc
prevent accidents. Along the porchei
more hardy vines may be used, suct
as the morning glory, wild cucumber
moonaower scarlet runner, honey
suckle, bittersweet and Virginia
creeper.

Washinaton and Poacher.

AS an example of Washington's
fearlessness, Sparks, the historian
tells of an occasion when Washington
was aroused to quick action upon dis
covering poacher on his grounds
Hearing the discharge of gun he
mounted his horse and, riding in the
direction of the sound, soon found the
intruder, who quickly jumped into his
canoe and padded out into the river.
Washington rode instantly into the
water in spite of the poacher's threat
ening him with his fowling piece and
seizing the boat, he drew it to the
shore, disarmed the poacher and gave
him sound thrashing then and there.
