EFFECTS IN MASSING
Bv [. M. BENNINGTON.

Two recent photographs showing
handsome California homes, one 1T
Berkeley, and the other the smith
home at Oakland, Illustrate nicely one
of the principles of art that the maker
of a garden will do we'll to study. 1t
IS the general scheme producing an Ell
feet with masses Of plants, and with
foliage thrown daringly into back
ground or foreground with little APP
parent thought for the individual
plant.
1t follows the idea of the little
darkv who came home one day with
crude drawing made in school. The
little boy held up proudly the product
and said:
"See, nanny, here am what done
drawed today"
"What dat?" inquired the mother.
Hits er cow" said the little fel-
low.
"Yas. hits err COW, all right" said
| the lnOtneF, DuL "lldl 'ii VIC '''
.De teacher she done tole me- re-
sponded the child, "dat so long as de
general effect am good, neber mind de-
tall"
That is the theory shown striking
ly by these two California pictures. II
one is found heavy massing Of greer
effects in the background, with thu
same general scheme Of mass being ap
piled to the plants and grasses border
ing the driveway. Not single one o
the trees or plants stands out individ
ually, but they all blend into a gen
eral purpose.
In the second picture the mass
transferred from background to fore
ground, leaving the house itself
stand boldly forth against the skyline
! In directly opposite ways the picture
show effects of mass arrangement.
belongs to it's school of art, and
art as applied to the garden, as clear
as the same theory has place in pain
. ing in oils.
. And it must be remembered that
l takes more real work to get effe
| from seemingly disordered mas
I than it does to care for striking, l
1 diyidual and isolated elements.

Cut flowers of ANNALS that SEED

they cease to bloom.
Don't neglect the potted plants; wa

noon sunshine.
When shade is recommended, dark
ness or dense shade are not meant.
All plants require a good light.
Many plants will bear strong Sky
light that would be badly damaged II
set in strong sunshine.
For ported plants that must have
sunshine, set the pots in jardIhlere,
or set in box with packing OF moss
around them to encourage moisture.
Root geranium slips now, If you
want winter boomers. Keep growing
thrifty, pinching off all buds until
late September
To root hardwood, shrubbery plants
| cut Just below the joint, as all slips
send out roots from the joint, whether
soft or hardwood.
Do not make the mistake of roofing
for winter boomers plants that bloom
only in the summer. Some geranluln
bloom more freely than others.
Evaporation is rapid; if showers arr
few, the plants will become stuntec
from thirst; if too much rain, weed
must not be allowed to choke tn
plants.
All shrubby pot plants should be SCI
