caladium. The castor bean grows
rapidly, IL easily propagated from
seed, and comes true to variety, af-
fording In one plant wide range In
color of foliage and in stature. This
plant frequently grows six to eight feet
In height from seed, even as far north
as New York, in single season, Its
broad-spreading habit, together with
It's attractive foliage, which In we'll
nourished plants Is retained well down
to the ground, renders the castor bean
very satisfactory makeshlft or sub
stitute for shrubbery where screens
and masking masses are needed. The
trouble with all such makeshifts Is
that they produce an effect which lasts
for few months only, while with
shrubs the benefit is lasting and they
serve quite as useful purpose in the
way of shelter belts and screens In
winter as during the summer. For the
sake of variety, the caladium and
Gamma can be used to good advantage
in connection with the castor bean.
The tall habit of the Gamma and the
broad leaves of the cHladium render
them well fitted for massing. Such
plants as the castor bean, the Gamma,
and the caladium can be used to good
purpose In shrub borders and masking
groups before the shrubs are suf-
ficiently grown to produce the effect
desired. Even after the shrubs have
grown sufficiently to accomplish the
end sought an occasional mass of cas-
tor beans, asters, eulalias, or arundo
interspersed at intervals will lend va
riety and life to the groups.
There are several varieties of shrubs
that can be planted on the farmyard
lawn which will greatly enhance the
beauty Of the place. One of the most
graceful of these Is the weeping null
berry, which will produce a perfect
mountain of foliage. Its long branches
fall to the ground on all sides, COM
pletely hiding the trunk of the shrub.
The golden syringa and golden elder
are so attractive, and both grow very
rapidly. Feathery hemlocks are also
desirable shrubs to have in the yard.
Every farmer should have some shrub
berry. After 1t has once been installed
in the yard it will prove its worth and
command as much attention as any
other branch of outdoor gardening.
In addition to a well-executed gen.
eral planting plan the successful de-
velOpment of place depends on the
preparation and fertilization Of the
soil, the pruning and planting of trees
and shrubs, and the making and main
tenance of a greensward.
The nature Of the plantations upon
a city lot or suburban place is such
that the main part of the cultivation
must necessarily be done before the
plantations are made. The soil should

NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
RochamboIite, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect on Enemy.

ROchambOlite is a new and terrible
explosive that has recently been intro
duced on the western front by the
French and employed in the defense Of
Verdun, says the Argonaut. The ex-
plosive, when tested in action at Yer
dun, was found to possess a most ter
rible and demOralizing effect upon the
Germans.
The explosive is a powder which,
upon ignition, changes into a molten
metal and a very large volume of gas
in an infinitely small space of time.
This sudden change in volume and
the terrific heat which is generated
cause an immense pressure on the
walls of the vessel that contains 1t.
shattering the walls and hurting the
molten metal and wall fragments in
all directions, spreading death and de-
struction In their path.
The effect of this molten metal on
the Germans can hardly be imagined.
Pieces Of metal upon striking them i'm
mediately burn their way deep into
the flesh, even to the bone, causing
intense pain and suffering to the vic
tim. So deadly and so demoralizing
have the French found this explosive
to be that they are now utilizing 1t on
the entire front.

mask by covering unsightly objects.
Vines have a peculiar value in deco
rative planting in that as class they
are shade enduring; yet many of the
best decorative plants of the group
thrive to perfection in full sunlight.
Since many vines will thrive in partial
shade as well as in full sunlight, they
lend themselves well to porch and ar
Dor decoration. A few have the power
20 attach themselves to bare walls,
thus making them extremely useful
In covering rough brick, stone, or
wooden walls, giving them an effect
pr age, beauty, and appropriateness
which cannot be produced by artists
hnd architectural materials. Two of
fhe best vines for covering walls are
the Boston ivy and the English ivy.
Vines which attach themselves to
wire or wood supports and are chiefly
valuable because of their covering and
Shading effects are the clematis, with
all its varied forms, the wisteria the
trumpet flower, and the Actinidia and
EAkebia, both valuable cover plants.
For sandy regions either as soil
binder or as an arbor or trellis cover
none of the vines is more useful than
the japanese hOneysuckle. There are
many other good hOneysuckles grown
Tor decorative purposes, but none is
more rapid-grOwing or freer from in
sect pests and fungous diseases than
the japanese hOneysuckle. In this
catalogue of valuable vines two more
Of our native vines justly merit high
Places-the fve-fngered ivy and the

Annual vines may also serve use
ful purpose about new place. The
perennial woody vines are slow grow
ing, and usually make but little shade
or protection during the first two or
three years after planting. With an
hual plants, however, the case is quite
different. Many annual climbing vines
have a profusion of leaves, grown rap
Idly and iuxuriantly, and afford a sim
pile, inexpensive, yet satisfactory
means of securing an immediate
screen. For best results with these
plants special attention to early plant
Ing, often indoors, is essential. When
planting-Out time arrives, place them
in rich, well-dralned soil, and at all
times maintain an abundant supply of
moisture. Under such conditions use

| the top should be reduced In proper
ton TO the loss of root area, In order
that the newly trnnsplanted and unes-
tabllshed plant may be able to secure
sufficient moisture and food to supply
the demands of the top. The roots
should be pruned, so as to pro-
| tect them against decay, by cutting
away all broken and mutilated parts,
leaving the cut surfaces smooth and
in such position that they will come In
contact with the fresh earth. After
the plant becomes established certain
branches will grow more rapidly than
others, and the appearance of the
plant will be spoiled by this unequal
growth. Pruning should, therefore,
be resorted to In order to preserve n
symmetrical development Of the plant
without rendering 1t artificial or for
NAL In appearance. Care should also
be exercised during the early develop
ment Of plant to maintain uniform
distribution of branches around the
central axis, If 1t be tree, so as to In
sure a symmetrical and pleasing form
at maturity.
AT planting time the excavation pre-
pared for the reception Of the tree
should be of sufficient depth to allow
1t to be set as deep as 1t stood In the
nursery and large enough to accom-
modate the roots without bending
them, while the earth in the bottom
of the hole should be loosened at least
one spade length below the general
floor of the hole. In replacing the
soil over the roots of the plant, thin
layer of earth should be placed i'm
medlately in contact with the roots
and thoroughly pressed down by
trampling in order to bring the par
ticles of soil in close contact with the
feeding roots Of the plant. The hole
should then be filed and the surface
left slightly above the general surface
of the surrounding ground.
The bays of curved walks and drives
should be filed with groups of shrubs,
50 that if there be no natural object
for the road to make a curve around,
the plantation will serve as a subst-
tute for one, and in so doing produce
one of the highest effects which can be
secured in landscape gardening. By a
judlcious use Of plants in the bays OF
walks and drives new and unexpected
features in the form of vistas, lawn
pieces, or specimen plants can be
brought before the observer, thus pro-
ducing pleasant surprises and holding
his interest. The plantations show va
rieties as well as serve the purpose Of
marking the walk.

The comparative value of shrubs
and perennial grasses and herbaceous
annual bedding plants is at once ap-
parent. Residents Of the country or
of suburban places have difficulty in
securing suitable herbaceous plants in
sufficient quantities to produce rich eff

obtained in profusion they cannot take
the place of shrubs and grasses either
as cover plants or as screens or wind
breaks. A complete arrangement re-
uuires a harmonious use of both
shrubs and annual herbaceous plants.
For quick results, however, where
shrubs of large size cannot be secured
or are too expensive, temporary eff
feet can be produced by the use Of

satisfaction of a facile curiosity. 1t is
