sEAUrIFY YOUR HOME GROUNDS

Certainly there Is no state which
affords greater opportunity for beau
tifying the home grounds with so lit
tie effort as does Florida. And yet,
a great many yards have no grass,
flowers, or shrubbery! Why not give
"a little more thought and q little more
time to making our home grounds
more beautiful? With very little
time and expense the most Of our
farm homes could be transformed in.
to attractive places.
Prof. w. L. Floyd of the College Of
Agriculture suggests that we begin
now to increase the appearance and
at the same time the value Of our
homes by putting out some shrubbery
and getting the flower beds started
Remember, however, that the ar.
rangement Of the flowers and shrub
berry has great deal to do with the
effect produced.
Shade should be provided as a
background and setting for the house,
but the trees should not be planted
directly in front of the house. Feb.
ruary is not too late to set out young
trees, and desirable shade trees can
be secured without cost, from nearby
woods.
The best grasses for the lawn are
st. Augustine, If the yard is shady;
st. Lucie or Bermuda If 1t is open
The ground should be covered with
well rotted manure then plowed and
thoroughly narrowed before putting
out the grass. A later application OF
tankage, or Nitrate of Soda will prove
valuable.
Unsightly objects, such as wood
piles, partition fences, ETC., can be
screened by closely planted shrubs
such as cherry laurel or bamboo. II
there are no cutters to carry off the
eaves-drip, a few plants that will
stand harsh treatment, such as ArboI
Vita or Oleander, can be placed In
the angles near the steps and out
from the corners Honeysuckle, Bos
ton Ivy or one of the Bignonias can be
used as covering for fences or lat
tice work. Clumbs or shrubs SUCH
!. Oleanders, Abelias or Spireas
should be planted about a yard, pre-
ferably near the corners or rather
close to the outer borders.
Cannas grow luxuriantly when
, given rich soil, plenty of water and q
sunny location. They should be
planted in beds, may be procured
with either green or bronze foliage,
and flowers of pink, red, white and
yellow shades.
Roses should be planted in beds at
the side or rear of the house, but
where there is plenty of sunlight.
There are many fine varieties, espe.
cially of bush roses that do we'll in
Florida. They too require an abund.
ance of well rotted manure, water
and severe pruning in winter to
force them to put on new growth on
which the flowers are borne In spring.
