There are over two hundred farms,

Both tourists and natives grow
very tired of the heavy perfume of
the flowers, which is often noticeable

The fragrance of a bunch of lilies,
~delicately seeming a room or church,
is very different from the overpower-

PLANTING TREES FOR SHADE
By ]. w. Griffin.

In selecting a list of trees to plano
for shade on your lawn or along the
avenue, make a note of the character
of the soil and plant accordingly.
If you are contemplating a home
in the lowlands, where it is damp
and where fogs hang IN the better
part of the morning, "cut it OUT" sell
out, get out, do anything to get out,
and go up higher if possible.
Leave the swampy lands to the fogs
and mosquitoes and the fevers.
Make a note of the trees that grow
on the hillsides and those that grow
on the hilltops. Pick out those that
hold their foliage longest, also those
whose foliage is h~ealthiest and most
dense.
Some advocate spring and some fall
planting of fruit and forest trees. /
have it that the following gives good
results:
Where the trees to be set out are
larger than two or three-year-old
trees, / dig a hole four feet wide each
way and two feet deep some time dur
ing the late fall or early winter.
The top soil is thrown on one side
and the sub-soil on the other.
The combined actions of the rain,
freezing and thawing, produce a good
effect on the soil thrown out, and up
on the sides of the hole.
The trees to be set out are procured
during the fall and are heeled in a
protected place and are ready at any
time they are wanted. A few days
of sunshine and windy weather in
early spring, put the mounds of earth,
beside the holes, in fine shape to put
in around the trees.
The trees may be set out two or
three weeks before the surrounding
soil will do to cultivate.
First, strawy manur is tramped
six inches deep in the bottom of the
holes, then about six inches of the
top soil is thrown in, leaving a little
mound in the center of the hole up
OF which the center or taproot should
rest.
The finer, or side roots, are spread
out around the little mound, more of
the top soil is thrown in and packed
tightly around the roots, filling up
all air spaces and holding them in
proper place.
Next, some. rotten straw, not ma
nure, is thrown in, then the rest of
the soil is tramped well around the
trees. do not use any n next
to the roots of trees. The manure
is scattered around the trees, the rain
takes the fertility down to the roots
and the solid matter, while rotting,

-"I have been at work among the sick

PUSHING SWEET PEAS
By Mrs. C. w. Jennings.

During the early spring months l
emptied the wood ashes, from the
cooking stove, over the ground that
l intended to use for flowers. When
the time for planting came, l had a
trench dug, which l half filled with
ashes. Over the ashes | threw an
inch or two of soil, and planted sweet
peas, covering them one inch. In a
few days they were up and such vines
as l had! When they were six inches
high | laid cedar brush along n side
of them. They grew five and six feet
tall and gave quantities of lovely
flowers all summer.
/ fortified them once a week with
soap suds, and hoed them three or
four times during the season, each
time drawing the dirt about them, but
never making a narrow ridge for
them to grow in. When this is done
they dry out too much, and do not
bloom well.
Nasturtiums, also, shared the same
treatment except that I did not give
them so many ashes. | kept the
flowers picked from both the sweet
peas and the nasturtiums. Soap-suds
is the fertilizer l employ most for my
flowers and nothing is better for the
rose bushes.

"A country newspaper office is n

the heavy perfume, knowing that,
acre for acre, growing the lily is three
or four times as profitable as raising
onions, potatoes OF fruit.
1t is believed that lily bulbs were
first brought to this country from ia
pan by a mar named Harris, to which
country they had been brought from
their ancient native home, China. The
Bermuda lily is known as Lilium Har-
risii..
The original lily is probably the
oldest of all known flowers, and also
is the only Towering plant that has
no poor kin.
