TREE PLANTING NEEDS CARE
Appearance Of Grounds as Important
as House Plans, Interior Decor
atoms or Furniture.

While house plans, interior decora-
tons and furniture play prominent
part in the life of the new home build
er, care of the grounds about the house
should likewise be given consideration,
particularly as regards the planting OF
trees to trim up the general appear
ance of the house.
In tree planting great care, foresight
and judgment are required, says
Landscape artist. The selection of
young trees, their proper setting apart
and their care after planting make
beautiful grounds possible. In shade
tree planting as in the construction or
a building, the plan for the completed
work should be determined in advance,
for the tree planter must picture to
himself how his work will look a great
number of years lateG and with him 1t
rests whether the result is to be one
of satisfaction or regret.
In making selections one must bear
In mind that the tree must possess GER
tain characteristics to be desirable. IN
the first place it must be hardy, capa-
BILE of withstanding unfavorable condl-
tons of city life such as poor SOIL,
drought, smoke, gas, heat and dust, cas-
lily transplanted and propagated. IL
must have a straight stem, rounded
we'll filled head, we'll developed roots
and be symmetrical in growth. They
must to great degree be immune from
insect pests, retain their foliage in
good condition through the summer I'M
til late fall and be clean in their hab-
its Of growth. The ideal shade tree
must also be of medium growth and
long lived. The desirability of devel-
oping good-sized shade trees as soon as
possible after planting is admitted, and
it is unfortunate that the trees grow
ing most rapidly are the most undeslr-
able

CLEANS THE BLOOD I

The gratifying results attending
the faithful use Of the new medici-
nal combination, Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla before eating and Peptiron
after eating, are seen in purer blood,
stronger nerves, improved condition
Of the whole system.
They are results that make this
course of treatment the most eco
nomical for sufferers from impure,
impoverished blood, weak, unsteady
nerves-no other accomplishes SO
much for each cent expended.
Hoods Sarsaparilla and Pept-
iron aid each other, and to take
both is to derive four-fold benefit.
If a laxative is needed in conncc-
ton with them, the gentle and thor
ough Hoods Pills should be used.
