PLANTING Shrubs.

Spring is the favorite season for
shrub planting. Not that most shrubs
cannot be transplanted at almost any
season Of the year, but we all feel
more interested in outdoor things
when the robins first come back.
Shrubbery about the house is a con-
slant Joy to all who behold II. Break
ing up harsh lines and joining to-
gether the more antagonistic features,
it gives finish and an air of per-
manency to any place.
In choosing varieties for special
uses, particular attention should be
given to the form, color and charac-
ter Of blossoms, and foliage, together
with blooming period and general ap-
pearance Of the shrub. Tall, struggling
shrubs, like some Of the lilacs and
aZaleas, give better effects when
placed at distance, and either mass
ed or planted against buildings, fences,
etc. More symmetrical shrubs and
the smaller varieties can be planted
singly or grouped in beds in the fore
ground.
For planting about porches, moth
ing is more handsome or more grace
full than bridal wreath 1t can well
be supplanted with several other
shrubs which bloom at different times,
however.

with any of tine larger symmetrical
shrubs.

others are frequently used for lower
and less compact hedges, road bor-
ders, etc.

the holes or trenches a foot deeper
than necessary, and fill in that foot
with rich earth over six inches of
stable manure, leaving the earth rath-
er loose.
Trim or all broken, rotten, or dis
eased roots, spread the roots well and
set the plant in the hole SO that It
will be an inch or two deeper than it
was before. Fill the hole halfway
with fine rich earth, mix in a quarter
of pound Of some complete fertilizer,
soak the earth with water and then
fill up the rest of the hole. Tramp
the earth down firmly and heap it up
to take care of settling later on.
The branches should be trimmed in
proportion to the root trimming. or

food. Keep implanted shrubs moist

Raising Raspberries.

There Is no fruit more desirable or
more easily grown than the red or
black raspberries. The plants cost
little and one can get them for nothing
by making cuttings from wild bushes.
They are much more easily grown
than strawberries, and are much less
trouble. The strawberry bed must be
hoed, trimmed and weeded regularly
or it will be completely covered up,
but the raspberry will produce luxuri-
antly under adverse conditions and
even downright neglect.
Two thirty-foot rows, one of a good
red and one a black variety, will fur
nish abundant fruit for the average
family and the entire cost Of having
all the raspberries you want for a
months time every year need not ex-
ceed the cost of little fertilizer and
a little Bordeaux mixture.
A raspberry patch will bear some
fruit the second year and it will carry
heavy crop thereafter, for as much
as ten years.
They will grow we'll in any we'll
drained, fertile soil and the black
varieties require a little richer soil
than the reds. Neither will do as
well as the blackberry on sandy or
poor soils.
Buy your plants from a nursery man
and put them into a we'll prepared
seed bed in the spring. Plant in rows,
having the plants about two and one
half feet apart. Set the plants a lit
tie deeper than they were at the
nursery, firm the soil well and water
occasionally for a week or two.
The ground should have a liberal
covering of stable manure before turn
ing over, and it will be well to work
into the soil around each plant about
one-fourth of a pound of a mixture of
bone meal, three parts and muriate of
potash one part. Fertilize in this pro-
portion each year, keep the ground
cultivated and you should have heavy
crops Of large, juicy berries every
year.
Beds located in exposed positions in
very cold climates will need to have
the canes laid down and covered with
earth and straw during the winter.
When the bushes are properly
pruned and fertilized, It will not be
necessary to support them, but there
are many advantages in tying the
canes up to wire supports.
Be careful in the pruning. After
the first year cut all of the old canes
out as soon as they have fruited. At
the same time cut out surplus and
feeble canes. In the early spring cut
out all canes which have been winter
killed and trim all remaining stalks
about a third.
Rust and anthracnose are the most
common diseases. Spray with Bor-
deaux for the first one and cut out and
burn the diseased canes IL rust ap-
pears. Slugs or worms can be killed
by spraying with hellebore or arsenate
of lead.
Raspberries frequently produce $500
quarts of fruit per acre in a single
year.

BY PROF. JOHN WILLARD BoLTE.
The function Of vines and climbing
plants in landscape art is to screen
and soften mechanical features, to hide
unsightly objects, to blend together
Into harmonious whole, various dis
cordant elements.
Varieties are a matter of taste, and
II you will leave to your wife the Ques-
ton of proper location for vines, you
will not go far wrong, from an ar.
tistic standpoint. The truth is that
good vines are almost always in har
mony, no matter where they are
placed. Use them freely where you
have bare place.
Many an untidy fence can be made
into a bower of delight by properly
placed vines. The honeysuckles, wood
bine from the deep woods, Kudzu vine,
wild grape, clematis paniculata, and
many others, can be secured at tri-
fling expense, grow quickly, and are
hardy.
In the more southern states, Smiths
hybrid moon-vine is particularly de-
lightful.
The jewel Of porch climbers is the
Jackmanii type Of clematis. White,
lavander and pink, the blossoms come
In reckless profusion, and If you
are careful to get strong pot-grown
plants, plant them in a rich, deep
earth, without disturbing the roots,
and do your transplanting about June
1, you will almost certainly succeed.
Be sure to plant in a sunny spot,
where water from the caves will not
compact the earth. Water well until
the plant gets good start.
A fast growing, pleasant vine for the
new porch is the Japanese Ivy. A
few plants put in the soil alongside the
porch in the sun will rapidly spread
by way of the roots, and will form a
thick, fragrant curtain of light green,
clear to the top of the porch by the
middle of summer. This plant in
creases so rapidly that one must be
careful to prevent its crowding out
other less aggressive neighbors.
a
vorite in northern climes for yearly
planting, as are the wild cucumbers
with their tracery leaves and tendrils
and their cool prickly fruit pods.
OF course where climbing roses can
be successfully grown, there is abso-
lutely nothing to compare with them
in their gorgeous magnificence. They
call for the same soil conditions and
care as bush roses, but they are less
hardy as a rule in the inland and
northern states.
In the eastern states and anywhere
that cool, moist summer and even
winter temperature prevails, the Eng
lish Ivy grows in profusion. Nothing
can be more satisfactory, particularly
in connection with stone or brick
structures of massive appearance. It
seems to live forever in hospitable
environments, and it will frequently
cover an entire house, even to the
chimney top. 1t is we'll to prevent it
from covering wooden surfaces, how
ever, as its thick foliage holds moist
ure and hastens the decay Of the
wood, the rusting of nails, ETC.
Many ways of supporting vines are
used, from strings to graceful wooden
treilises. Chicken wire may be used to
advantage, and Will last a number of
years.
