PLANS.
Suggestions by Noted Landscape
Architect for Beautifyins
Home Grounds.

Through the courtesy of the Ladies'
Civic League of Alma, we are able to
present a planting plan for trees,
shrubs, etc, for small places made by a
landscape gardner of national repu-
tation. From circular issued by the
League we take the following:
The ladies of the Civic League here
with present a small sketch for laying
out and planting grounds of moderate
size, which has been made for them by
a landscape architect of reputation.
Accompanying the plan are few sug-
gestions as to best situations for shrubs
and trees, some reasons for these sug-
gestions and list of hardy and ap-
propriate plants with prices. This
list is in its main the same as given
last week by the Civic Committee of
the Owosso Improvement Association.
The League hopes that this plan and
these suggestions may be of use to those

Must Stop Spec ding.

On motion of Aid. Springett the city
has purchased motorcle to be used in
stopping speeding of automobiles and
motorcycles. The aldermen declare
that life was being endangered every
day, and that people were becoming
afraid to cross the streets. They be-
ieve the fines would pay for the ma
chine, and that good would result from
the rigid enforcement of the law as to
speed, lights, mufflers and signals. 1t
is probable, however, that the ordin-
ance providing that lights be left burn,
ing in autos when standing at the curb
will be repealed.
Mayor BRANDED also stated that the
police would be instructed to enforce
the ordinance against riding bicycles
on the sidewalks as long as the roads
were in good condition, many bicy-
clists having again become reckless and
some of them mean.

The object is not to secure specimens of
plants, but continuous mass of foliage
as frame for the open lawn space. A
few small trees among mass of shrubs
gives pleasing contrast.
Sixth-The proper use of flowers for
the small place is no easy matter. A
stiff, formal flower bed, in the midst of
an open lawn space. destroys the quiet,
restful feeling which a lawn should
produce. A flower border on either side
of the entrance walk may be made a
very pretty feature Ordinarily, how
ever, the best place for flowers is in
front of the boundary planting of
shrubs. If the latter are evergreen, the
early Towering bulbs, etc, will then
have green background, which will
greatly enhance the beauty of their
blossoms.
The accompanying plan illustrates
the general principles outlined above.
1t is designed merely to show in a gen
eral way, the disposition of walks
plants and lawn areas which in the
case of most small places will produce
the most pleasing results. The spaces
enclosed by the irregular lines are to
be completely filed with plants, the
desired effect not being obtained until
no ground is visible around the plants
No. Small Tree, Evergreen; or
with decorative fruit or bark in Winter,
such as: Arbor Vitae, Thorn, OF Red
Cedar from the woods and swamps.
No. 2.-Tall, Towering shrubs, such
as: Lilac, Bush Honeysuckle, Green
Barbary, Forsythia Syringa, Spire Van
Hontteii, Cornus or Dogwood, Flower.
ing Currant.
No. 3.-Low shrubs, such as: Indian
Currant, Thunberg's or Dwarf Bar
berry, Snowberry, Weigelia.
No. 4.-Hardy perennials or bulbs,
such as: Peonies, Phlox, Tulips, Iris,
Daffodils, Bleeding Hearts.
No. 5.-Ferns for shady side of house.
No. 6.-Vines on the house, such as:
japanese Ivy, Wistaria, Clematis, Halls
Honeysuckle.
In connection with the above atten-
ton is called to the fact that the time
for placing orders FOR any of the shrubs
trees, plants or bulbs offered at whole
sale prices by the Civic Committee of

Second-Probably the best type of
boundary fence is a wire fence such
as already is in use here and there
This is more durable fence than one
of wood and costs less to maintain. If
properly clothed with vines it can be
made pretty feature of small place.
Third-To screen outbuildings thick
planting of one kind of trees should be
used. being placed irregularly about the
buildings. not set in stiff lines,
Fourth-In the writer's opinion moth
ings adds so much to the appearance of
house as a certain amount of shrubs
Immediately at its base. Such planting
unites the house with the ground; it
gives it the appearance of having
grown out of the ground, rather than
having been set down on it like box,
and relieves the bare, uninviting look
of the average frame house. Vines
trained upon the house or piazza posts
will further soften it's architectural
lines.
Fifth-In planting masses of trees
and shrubs along the boundary lines a
very few different kinds of plants used
in considerable quantities, will produce
a much more beautiful effect, than one
or two each of many different.kinds.

Plant This Fall.

The Civic committee has been ad-
vised to urge the fall planting of
trees, shrubs and perennials this fall.
Following are some reasons for do
ing the work next month or during
November and ordering now.
/. Because stems and branches
are completely at rest.
2. Tne root system starts active
work at once to establish the plant.
8. The soil Is warm mellow and
fertile.
4. The plants nave the benefit of
late fall and early spring rains, lost
by spring planting.
5. Wounds and bruises heal over
more quickly in fall than in spring.
6. The planter has plenty of time
in the fall.
Z. No moisture supply to worry
about.
8. Fruit trees outgrow spring
planted kinds.
8. With small fruits whole year
is gained.
10. In The case of roses, peren-
malls and spring Towering shrubs,
growth is checked by spring plant
ing.
IL. Nurserymen dig from new
blocks and select especially fine trees
12. If plants arrive too late, i. e.
after the ground is frozen, they can
be trenched or heeled in.
Cau.ion--All new set plants
should be mulched with compost,
manure, dead leaves, straw or litter
tne first winter. Tree leaves are very
valuable and should be put into piles
and kept we. for fertilizer and mulc6
and never burned.

who contemplate planting during the
coming season. An adoption of this
plan to any place would not not be
difficult to make, as the several prin-
ciples given in the context are applic
able anywhere.
Briefly stated, the general principles
which, in the writer's opinion, should
control residents in a city the size OF
Alma, in beautifying their home sur.
roundings:
First-Means of access to the house,
whether roads or walks, should follow
the most direct and natural routes
should be laid out with some idea OF
good proportion of width to length, and
be well defined by a curb or edging and
surfaced as well as the means of the
owner may allow.
Second-Border fences should be
made as inconspicuous as possible and
their barren and stiff lines relieved by
planting.
Third o u b III dings should be
screened from the view of the street as
well as from the owners view, by
proper planting
Fourth-The stiff base lines and
angles of the house should be softened
by shrubbery and vine planting i'm
mediately at its base
Fifth-Trees and shrubs should not
be Unfortunately dotted about the
yard, but massed together along the
boundary silines, leaving certain
amount of open space bounded on the
one side by boundary planting, and on
the other, by planting at the base OF
the house.
Sixth-The open space should remain
a small lawn.
Seventh-Flowers should be confined
to irregular borders or masses, close to
the boundary planting
A word or two in explanation of these
general principles may be useful:
First-A walk four or FIVE feet wide
will generally answer the purpose in a
small private place. This walk should
run straight to the house entrance, un-
less greater convenience should demand
different route. A curving walk,
which is not justified by some practical
consideration, ordinarily disfgures a
small place.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Drunken Bohemian Shoots Wife and
Ten-Year Old Son.

| Joseph Sampson, Bohemian, whose
home is one mile and half east of
Easton, shot his wife and son and at
tempted to shoot himself, Friday afeer-
noon, at the home of John Kukulish
one mile north of Easton. He was
prevented from taking his own life by
Kukulish.
Sampson and his wife had separated
last spring, and for several weeks the
man had been working in Toledo,
but returned and spent day in
Chesaning drinking, and on Friday
went to his home and lot finding his
wife went to the Kukulish home and
tried to persuade her to return to him.
On her refusal he drew 80 calibre re-
volver and fired twice at her, one bullet
hitting her in the breast the other going
wild. His son Frank, 10 years DID, and
Kukulish ran quickly toward them
and Sampson fired, striking the boy
near the heart, and Immediately turned
the weapon toward himself, but Kuku-
lish knocked it from his hand. Sampson
stared at his wife and boy minute,
and then turned and hurried to Easton
to Crickmore's store and asked the men
there to telephone the sheriff that he
had shot his wife and to send for doc
tors. He then returned to the Kukulish
farm and entered the room where the
doctors were caring for his wife, but
being ordered from the room, left the
house, no one of the many present
making any effort to detain him, and
went to the woods, but spent the night
at the home of a foreigner in Hazelton
township. Saturday noon word was
received by the sheriff that Sampson
was at farm four miles east of the
New Hayen town house, but he had left
before the arrival of Under Sheriff
Griffin and Deputy Sheriff Houghton.
They followed him however, and cap
tured him six miles from the G. A. Cut
ler farm, on the Genesee county line
near Flushing. He offered no resist
ance and told the officers he shot his
wife because she had stolen all his
money. Mrs. Sampson and the boy
were brought to the Swayze hospital in
Owosso.
Sampson came to America from Aus.
tria in 1901, landing at Galveston,
Texas, going from there to Chicago
where he applied for naturalization
papers in 1909, giving his age as 43
years. He came to this county two
years ago and has had continuous bad
record since, being arrested for drunk
enness and cruelty and at his wife's
complaint last June, he was brought to
Justice Friegels court and agreed to
separate and a division of the property
was agreed upon. The couple have had
nine children, but the boy, whom he
shot, is the only one living Mrs. Samp-
son is deaf in one ear, the result of a
blow struck by the brutal husband.
Sampson was taken before Justice II.
NJ. Nichols in Corunna, Tuesday, and
stood mute on charge of attempted
murder. His examination was set for
Sept. 30, and bail fixed at s., 600, which
he is unable to furnish If either the
wife or son die, the charge will be
changed to murder.
