Dear Folks: This morning receiv-
ed such an interesting letter from
a firm who deals solely in fine shrubs.
OF course many of you who have
lovely yards and well planted shrubs
probably know all that they told me,
but for the information of those who
like myself have great love but little
knowledge along this line, am CO.
| ing to quote a part of their letter.
every year the householder
thinks of an improvement here and
a change there which must surely
be made this spring The old hedge
cut back and new plants set in the
bare places.
But spring Is a swift-footed season;
| too often we glance out Of the win
dow and see Sister Summer in full
possession before we have found the
time or labor or weather to do that
last desirable bit of planting.
lone of the choicest sports of late
summer and autumn is planting
trees. That beautiful evergreen Dor
der for your place can go in this
very autumn, and get itself roct-set-
| tied and established SO that next
spring it will begin to tassel out in
| fascinating shoots of tender green.
| It will gain years growth, and all
next winter you'll be enjoying it.
Your woods planting can be done
now. The shrub-groups and masses
can be set out. The hedge, the
shade tree, the planting around the
house, you can do them all. For
now the plants have finished their
Job of growing, for the season, and
can devote all their sap and energy
to establishing their roots in new
soil.
I do hope that many Of you home
lovers will profit by the advice to
beautify with evergreens, and do
your planting this fall. If you have
small shrubs to set in groups, you
know our own dear woods are full
of beauties that can be transplanted,
and if you wish to keep them trim
med back to the shrub size, plant
them from two and one-half to three
feet apart, selecting the shape of
YOUR planting in accordance with the
point of your yard that you wish
to beautify. If you wish the shrubs
| to- make their natural growth, you
can in a few years, when they be
come too large for their original spot,
transplant them again. Careful
transplanting just makes better
plants"
