The owner OF city or town lot, OF
a suburban home or a country estate,
is' usually interested in affairs which
he considers more important. or, at
least, more practical. than the abstract
principles OF gardening. no matter in
what form they are presented or what
application is to be made OF them.
His immediate requirement, II his at
tention is directed at all toward the
subject, is practise and not theory.
He wants planting and not principle;
his main desire is 10 employ the
speediest and safest process to make
his yard. his grounds. or his estate as
harmoniously and effectively beauti-
ful as trees, shrubs. plants and vines
within the limits of his financial re-
sources, will permit. In a sense, he
is justified; and, in any event, he is
but responding 20 a common and nat
ural impulse TO obtain for himself
that which has pleased or interested
him. He is impatient Of theory and
anxious for results. Dispositions on
the fundamental laws of gardening or
landscaping are tedious IL not perpieX-
ing, and, in his judgment, Of little
value. His conclusion may be hasty,
but TO some extent is entirely correct.
There are no hard and fast rules for
gardening, and particularly for the art
of ornamental gardening, whether It
be conducted on a large or a small
scale, on a country estate, or on the
back OF a city lot. There are some
principles best remembered, but even
they are not without innumerable va
riations in application.
Where trees are planted on small
city lots, in many instances shrubs
would be of greater value and be
more effective and far more appro-

HER MoTHER-lN-LAW
Proved a Wise, Good Friend.

A young woman out in Ia. found q
wise, good friend in her mother-in-law,
Jokes Notwithstanding. She writes:
Il was greatly troubled with my
stomach, complexion was blotchy and
yellow. After meals 1 often suffered
sharp pains and would have to lie
down. My mother often told me it
was the coffee drank at meals. But
when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe
headache.
While visiting my mother-in-law I
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked her to tell me
how. She laughed and told me 1t was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
Il began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum) every day, and
l have no more trouble. Indigestion
is a thing of the past, and my COM
plexion has cleared up beautifully.
My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach, Her doctor
told her to leave off coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
"She finally was induced to try Post
um which she has used for over a
year. She travelled during the winter
over the greater part of Iowa, visiting,
something she had not been able to
do for years. She says she owes her
present good health to Postum"
