TO BEAUTIFY THE LAWN.
Any Yard Can Be Made Attract.
i've With Small Cost.

Spring will soon open with its
bright, mellow days, and thoughts
will naturally turn towards the
garden and lawn. The lawn. es-
pecially in the smaller town. is
often neglected. With a small ex
penditure any lawn can be made
beautiful.
Make a rough sketch of the
scheme Of planting if necessary
and with the various trees and
shrubery desired. Schemes have
been successfully worked out for
both large and small lots with
results that well repay for any
energy expended.
If the lot is small. say 40 or
$50 feet, choose the low growing
shrubs, such as the Spirea of eth
er the prunifOlia, thunbergii or
bumalda families. There are
hardy, lOw-grOwmg plants about
three feet in height. The spiera
thunbergi has very fine, light
geren foliage, with little white
flowers scattered along the bran
cheS. The spirea bumalda, of the
variety anthony waterer.s avery
free Towering shrub, with Grim
son flowers. 1t is compact and
low in growth. Spiera punifOlia
has dropping branches, with dOu-
bic white daisy like flowers.
The leaves of this variety as
sumo brilliant hueS in the fall.
In larger lawns, larger shrubs
should be used. Such common
shrub as the snow ball, the Per-
sian lilac, and the Japanese
ounce, are excellent. Besides
these, there are the mock orange
the golden bell, the Spiraea van
hOuten, and the pearl bush. The
dOgwOOdS and evergreenS work
well in the decoration of a large
lawn.
Of course these are not all
that are needed for a beautiful
lawn, for in fact the important
thing is a thick, well-kept grass
sod, the carpet, if you please,
upon which to set the scenery
The cannaS, hOllyhOckS, coleus
and geraniumS are necessary. but
should be used only as borders,
or some of them in porch boxes.
Rose bushes are often desired.
and the harder varieties should
be obtained and placed together
il rows or beds as single rose
bushes soon grow to limbs and
appear unsightly.
If the house is near an alley.
plant a row of California privet.
which will form a thick hedge,
screening the house from that
side and also aiding in the gener-
al landscape picture.
1t is preferable when buying,
to get twO-year-Old stock. When
setting out the roots, keep in
mind the picture desired.
The house should not be shield
ed but made to blend with the
surroundings. Keep the center
of the lawn clear, and never cut
up a good sod into flower beds. If
the smaller flowers cannot be us
ed in borders, place them in the
rear garden. Plant the shrubs
In clumpS or masses in corners
ard angles, ignoring straight
lines as much as possible.
Early spring is the best time
t, set out new plants or divide
old ones. If the home lawn is to
be made a subject of admiration
n'Xt summer. one must get to
work Immediately, so that when
spring opens up dirt will fly in

 We have not even considered the commercial and industrial side of It., and this side perhaps is the most lrn- as a nation.
