and upon viewing these wonderful
trees, was at once struck with the pos
sibilities of using them for ornamental
purposes. He gathered their seeds,
shipped them to seedmen throughout
the country, also to Europe, and today
there are hundreds of thousands Of
these palms.
Pride Of Los Angeles.
The two oldest trees in Los Angeles
stood near the River station of the
Southern Pacific and when the rail-
road company decided to use the land
for building purposes, they allowed
wideawake real estate dealer to move
the palms to new subdivision near
Santa Monica. The experiment was
watched with great interest. Unfortu-
nately, as they were being raised from
the wagon on which they were being
transported, the tackle parted and the
veterans were broken.
The most notable and successful ex-
ample of moving old palms, however,
was accomplished by John McLaren,
the famous landscape gardener, who
has made Golden Gate Park, in San
Francisco, one of the beauty spots of
the world. His crowning achievement
at the Panama-Pacific International
exposition was the stately Avenue of
Palms which he built by transplanting

beheld them in great numbers f1anking
the winding roadway in the valley be-
low. They reminded me of regiment
of erect soldiers marching with pre-,
cision, two abreast, carrying huge um,
brellas over their heads to protect
them from the intense heat. And as
we watched them from a speeding au,
tOmobile, there was the added optical
Illusion, owing to the angle from which
we saw them and the regularity with
which they had been planted in double
rows, of the trees actually moving
with long strides out of the valley and
disappearing over the rolling hills.
The city of Fresno boasts a palm
lined avenue that is without doubt one
of the finest in the state, not excepting
the famous Magnolia avenue of River
side. 1t was graded, planted and i'm
proved in 1892 by the late Theodore
Kearny at his own expense and decided
to the county. Think of q smooth. dead
level road eleven miles long, 40 feet
wide, bOrdered on both sides with fan
palms, oleanders, eucalypti and pam
pas grass! The roadway runs through
beautiful stretches of vineyards and
fruit trees, and in places, along the
grain fields, are masses of California's
state flower, the poppy, of such vivid
golden coloring as to suggest flow of
fiery lava in a sea of emerald.

SCHOOL CHILDRENS GARDEN

Apportion some little bit of land
for the children in your neighbOrhood
to have garden.
Vacant lots adjacent to schools are
best for they are near enough for the
children to spend their recess in and
also the 20 or 80 minutes before and
after school. Practical instruction
should be given the children out-of-
doors.
By securing the children's aid, per-
manent improvement in the physical
condition of the neighborhOod is as
sured.
Deficient and backward children in
the big cities have found great delight
in the school gardens and have proved
themselves capable of understanding
how to plant and care for the crops.
To this end, brighter future has
been secured for children, who, by the
benef1cent healing of the great Mother
Nature, have found little niche they
can adequately fill in the scheme of
things, and instead of burden to the
community they are becoming useful
members of society.
Secure a garden for the children in
your neighborhood.

screen that divides the front yard from
on the other white.
If the garden is bordered with flow
ers masSing of blue or yellow in one
corner and red in another will COM
pletely change the appearance of
things. While white is excellent to
break the colors, more pleasing effect
is secured by shading rather than end
ing one abruptly.
For several reasons it is best to have
the white predominant. They will show
off by night as well as by day. They
are suitable for all occasions. Many
of them are delightfully."- fragrant. They
occur in great variety.
Among white flowers, the lily, peony
and rose head the list Then there
may be added the spirea, carnation,
aquilegia, hollyhock, phlox, Christmas
rose, lily of the valley, achillea, hy-
drangea, honeysuckle, yucca, beside a
multitude of dahlias and chrysanthe-
NUNS.
Most of the plants are hardy and
easily grown. Add to them the rich
assortment of ANIMALS like canGStuft,
sweet alyssum, snap-dragon astef, YER
bena, petunia, lobelia and larkspur and
you have a stunning collection and one
which has beauty all season.
Suppose that it shades to the most
delicate tinted sweet peas, dahlias and

asters, thence to merge into rich pink.
There is almost an endless variety OF
the pink border, many of the varieties
mentioned above being equally eligible
in this corner. To these may be added
Spirea, begonias and gladiolus.
If red border is desired more eau
ton must be exercised, being careful
that crimson and scarlet, both excel
lent in themselves, do not combine. In
fact, it might be as well to assign two
different spots for these clashing
colors.
Among the scarlet blossoms nothing
is more beautiful than saliva, though
there are geraniums, phlox and gladi-
olus to keep it company, after the pro-
ceSSion of tulips, while a wealth of pc
tunias, hollyhocks and toleuS may safe
ly smile across at the cannas and pop
pies from the other side of the garden.
Among the blue flowers there is a
rich treat, from the time of the first
scilla and hyacinth until the last aster
has faded; for lavender and purple
are so closely akin to true blue that 1t
seems necessary to include them in the
list.
The platycodons, canterbury bells
some of the violets, houstonia, lupine
iris aconite, hardy larkspur, aquilegia
forget-me-nots and veronica are among
the perennials suggested, while in an
nuals there are ageratum, swan rivel
daisy, bachelors button, pansy, linun
and nemophila.
Too much stress cannot be laid upor
neatness in the garden. If faded flow
ers and fallen leaves are allowed tt
accumulate, the charm that should
characterize it is gone, and no amoun
of bloom can make up for the lack O
care which is thus made manifest.

BEAUTY OF THE HOME LOT
ByI M, BENNINGTON,

If your lawn is larger than you can
care for properly, plan to have it of
suitable size next year. Seedlings
cost but little, while plants are ex-
pensive. Many beautiful things can
be raised from a package of mixed
seeds of perennials.
Now is q good time to plan changes
in the border and the flower garden, as
one realizes the mistake made last
year in planting the tall growers in
front of the low ones; in grouping Ill
matched plants and mixing inharmoni-
Gus colors. Keep a notebook and pen
Gil in hand.
In arranging the home lot, whether
for fruit, shade or ornament, plant the
tallest growers well to the rear, grad
ing down to the lowest, or creeping
things, letting the rows run east to
west, that all may have the sunshine.
They can thus be seen to the best
advantage, and prove joy to the be-
holder.

Old Looks :?
BY DIR. l.. H. SMITH

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster and
the appearance of gray hair or bald
head in early years is, indeed, often a
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation is of the
simplest: Drink cOpiously of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, gout, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat.

~ NE of the first impressions the
visitor receives when he en-
ters California is the wide va
riety of palms to be found ev-
erywhere. You see them in the gar
dens of rich and poor, along the city
streets and country lanes, in park con-
servatories, in private homes, in the
theaters, the hotel lobbies, the shop
windows.
Your interest is aroused and then
you begin asking questions. You soon
get so that you can pick out the most
popular varieties and then you learn
their history and origin, for palms
from every section of the world grow
in California.
From n historical standpoint, the
most unusual palm tree in the state
stands at the foot of the Presidio Hill,
In San Diego. 1t was planted by
Father Junipero Sierra, who brought
European civilization into California
In 1863.
For years, a group of these tall
palms stood on this spot, much Scared
and neglected. In April, 1887. a fence
was built to protect them from further
desecration. Six years later, one of
them was taken up and displayed in
the glass horticultural building of the
Chicago Columbian exposition. 1t did
not live long, however, probably be-
couco a. es,fforod fror,, +ba 1ono io,,r-
ney across the continent or missed
the salt breeze it had enjoyed for a
century and a quarter.
Old Landmark Preserved.
Several years ago, a severe wind
storm badly damaged another of these
veteran sentinels and it, too, sue
cumbed, leaving but one of the group
standing. This impressed the authOri-
ties with the necessity of protecting
this old landmark and so it has been
braced and taken care of, and as a
result 1t bids fair to live for many
years.
But this reminder of CALIFORNIA;
mission days Is not by any means the
oldest or tallest palm in California. In
Riverside county is Palm Canyon, 10.
Gated in the dry, barren hills forming
the eastern slope of Mt. San Jacinto
There may be found thousands of ma
tive fan palms, many of them over a
hundred feet tall, that are estimated
by scientists to have been standing
when Columbus discovered America.

unusual canyon about thirty years ago

For half mile, the avenue was bOr-
dered by a double row of California

Extensive Variety of Trees.
During recent visit, 1 was told
that more than 200 varieties have
been planted in the extensive Persian
garden. One of the most interesting
trees to an enthusiast is a Guadalupe
palm, a native of the island of Guada-
lupe. some $50 miles south of San
Diego. In a sheltered corner, saw
q grand specimen of the Areca sap1ua
from far-away New Zealand. Dwarfed
Chamaerops humilis, from the Meu1-

with the stately Chamaerops excelsa,
from China. On the terraced hillside,
noted the Jubea spectabilis, or Wine
Palm of Chile; the Erythea armata,
commonly called the Blue Palm, a ma
tive of Lower California; the Sabal
Palmetto, or Cabbage Palm of Florida
and even the Seaforthia, from Aus
tralia, one of the most elegant of the
palm family.
But the most striking of all is the
double row of feathery COcos plumosa,
natives of Southern Brazil, and the
wide-spreading Phoenix canariensis
that border the impressive roadway
leading to Mr.. Gillespie's Italian villa,
which is surrounded by the most un'
