MAKING HOME GROUNDS AT
TRACTIVE
(By Mrs. Byrd Trego.

1t is not difficult to grow flowers
and shrubs about the door, when a
liberal amount of brains and reason
are combined with medium amount
of work. Anexcellent woman with a
free purse became enthusiastic about
growing flowers from bulbs, and
while the fever was on, ordered
from perfectly reliable house, some
eight dollars worth of tulips, n.y.
acinths and other varieties that do
we'll in this climate, with an ordin-
airy amount of care. When the bulbs
arrived, the spasm for gardening had
passed with the good nj. ther, who
Immediately called her little child
rem to her and said, Nov you little
folks take these roots out in the back
yard and plant them, and next spring
we shall have a lot Of beautiful
flowers. Now run along, get your
garden tools and don't annoy moth
err"
The following spring several wo-
men were discussing the prospects
for tulips in their different gardens,
when this fond mother suddenly re-
membered her bulbs, and invited the
ladies to walk over to her home and
see how they were doing. The back
yard at that particular moment was
occupied by four boys playing ball,
and SOME little girls arranging a
playhouse for the summer. Not a
foot of the entire grounds was un-
trodden by the youngsters who had
used it for a playground before and
since the bulbs had been planted.
The mother did not consider the
use to which the grounds had been
put, but called her little ones to her
to ask where they had planted the
flowers" OF course they knew not
where, and good old mother earth
was too packed and trodden to lift
a single leaf to tell the story, even
though they had been properly plant
ed. The mother was very much in
censed, and Immediately wrote the
floral house that supplied the bulbs,
claiming damages to the extent of
So, and still insists that it is useless
to plant because seeds and roots are
mo good"
While this incident Is true, It is
an extreme case, but there are too
many people, who use little or no
judgement when planting flowers.
We plant flowers for the pleasure

they give in return for our efforts,
and before beginning it is well to con-
slider carefully how much time and
energy we have to give to the bust
ness of persuading nature to bestow
these pleasures upon us, for while
nature is readily coaxed into fruition,
she demands good business part
ner with brains and thought who will
tenderly care for each little shoot
sent forth.
It is also wise to begin with
few we'll selected varieties that we
feel assuered will do well in our To-
cality, for failures are discouraging.
The immediate location of house
and grounds, the sun, shade and pre-
vailing winds are important things
to consider. Most plants do we'll in
full sun, some require partial shade,
while only very few will thrive at
all in the dense shade Of some of our
lawns. Neither will any plant do well
Immediately under the caves of the
house where a long sloping roof
sends drip of snow and rain to con-
stantly freeze and thaw the tender
roots in the spring, or beat them too
much during the few hard rains in
summer. Other than this objection
a wide border around the house is
very good If the ground is raised a
little to prevent too heavy flow of
water in irrigation. Flowers are near
ly all easily drowned with an over
supply Of water.
The house forms very good pro-
lection from winds, late spring and
early fall frosts, and the objection
of too much sun and heat that is Of
ten considered in other climates does
not apply 20 our conditions
Next to brains the condition of the
soil is most essential to consider.
It should be loose, friable and rich
with humous or organic matter. OF.
course this applies to general flor
al culture. Hard, lumpy or tightly
packed soil can only be made pro-
ductive in open field culture where a
cultivator can be run between the
rows after each irrigation. The
little frail seedlings or root shoots
can barely pierce the crust, and 1t is
impossible to stir the ground about
them without breaking the delicate
growth. About the first thing to do
with such soil is to have several
loads Of rather coarse sand spread
over flower and vegetable garden,
then thick covering Of well-rotted
