PROPER METHODS TO CARE
FOR LAWNS AND GARDENS.
Terraces Are Not Desirable, but Gravel
Walks Add Beauty.

f, The edges Of the greensward should
be carried to the edge of the gutter OF
walk with a gentle roll rather than
with an abrupt bank. Banks or ter
races are not desirable. Gentle, slop-
ing surfaces are more easily kept in
position, more easily grassed and pre-
sent a more pleasing appearance than
abrupt banks. The gentle roll, when
properly made, will serve the same
purpose in edging the walk or drive as
the abrupt bank.
In general. walks and drives through
areas in which lawns predominant
should be made of harmonizing ma
terial-that is, gravel or dirt roads are
TO be preferred to any form of pave
ment. The walks, if made of gravel,
are more in keeping with the general
character and aspect of the place than
if made Of asphalt or either natural or
artificial stone.
Trees and shrubs upon small places
should occupy subordinate positions.
They should not be scattered promis-
cuously over the surface of the lawn,
but should be used in groups about
the border of the grounds, in the bays
OF walks and drives and about the
foundation of the architectural feat
ures Of the place.
Street trees Of necessity must be
planted in rows, but all other adorn-
ments in the form of trees and shrubs
should be used in a free rather than in
a formal fashion. Sheared hedges of
box or privet along the front of a
place or upon the borders of the walks
and drives are seldom or never desir-
able features unless the whole treat
ment of the place is formal.
a specimen tree or shrub, if proper
ly located upon the lawn so as to break
up the ~barrenness of a corner or to
limit the vision in any direction, is an
appropriate object.
Oftentimes trees and shrubs can be
used to good effect in the immediate
vicinity of buildings for softening OF
relieving staring architectural lines.

CONTROL OF STREET TREES.
Advantages of Municipal Ownership
and Supervision Are MANY.

No one who has given the subject
any thought can have any doubt as to
the value and advantages of munich
pal ownership and control Of street
trees. 1t is the only means through
which cities or towns may obtain sys-
tematic, uniform street planting in a
practical, economical way. In fact, it
is the only means through which a
large city may obtain any degree of
success for several obvious reasons.
While all this is not only plainly but
painfully apparent, is it not strange
