How It Started
By JEAN NEWTON
''From Pillar to Post"

"From Pillar to POST
TT MAY have happened to many of
4 us that attempting to get certain liz
formation from a large organization,
we have been kept on the move con-
tinuously from one person to another,
from department to department, before
we could finally, if at all, get what we
were after.
1t is that sort of thing that has been
referred to as being driven from pillar
to post, but that, of course, is not how
it started.
This phrase comes to us from the
days when a man found guilty of GER
tain offenses, would be transported or
moved from the pillory (jaiD to the
whipping post, there to receive what
the law prescribed, while an approving
crowd of onlookers jeered and ap-
plauded.

Among the thorn trees are many
native and introduced species of great
merit. Paul's Double Scarlet thorn is
one that is well known and admired.
Two small Towering Magnolias
blooming in early spring are stellata
and Soulangeana.
The Japanese cherries are well
known though not often seen in home
grounds. A weeping form, Prunus
rosea pendula, is particularly beauti-
full as a lawn specimen.
Some of the stronger growing
shrubs can readily be trained into
tree form. The white fringe, with
snowy racemes of fragrant white
flowers is a choice specimen tree. The
black haw grows eventually to 20
feet or more and is attractive both in
flower and fruit.
The yellow-fowered golden chain,
the purple smoke tree and the silver
bell tree are snowy. The so-called
mimosa tree is popular in the warm
er sections of the State where the
Grape myrtle is common. The latter
may be trained as a tree if desired.

Tho Small FIOwerinp Tree


The Small FIowering Tree
There are hundreds of beautiful
small Towering trees from which the
home owner may select types to grace
his lawn or garden. Few sorts are
carried by the average nursery, but
they may be discovered by browsing
through a number of catalogues.
The dogwood, both white and pink,
the red bud or Judas tree and the
Japanese cherry trees popularized by
the planting around Washington, are
well known. The average gardner,
however, is not familiar with the
many other beautiful forms which are
available.
The Chinese form of the Towering
dogwood and the Comedian cherry are
of considerable merit. The Towering
crab-apples are varied and beautiful.
Of these Bechtels double Towering
crab with large, rose-like flowers of
pale pink is the best known. In adj
dition to snowy flowers many forms
have red and yellow fruits much liked
by the birds.
The Shadows are desirable flow
ering trees of graceful habit of
growth. The small white star-shaped
flowers are borne in abundance in
early spring and the small edible red
or purple fruits which follow in June
furnish attractive food for birds. The
