Before deciding which trees or
shrubs you wish to plant it would
be well to devote some time to
making a study of the natural re
quirements and of the native habl-
tat of those under considerations
Naturally those native to, and re-
Quiring a cool moist climate must
be eliminated. But We have IN
southern California a wealth OF
plant material which has come to
us from the arid and semi-arid re-
gions of Australia. Asia. and Africa
Any of these importationS should
reasonably be expected to do well
in our locality. At least any OF
them should be entitled to a thor
ough trial. The fact that someone
has planted a certain tree or shrub
and it has died, does not establish
conclusive proof, nor even pre-
sumptive evidence. that that var
iety of tree or shrub will not thrive
here. In any planting, the plant
itself is only about ten per cent OF
the project. The care given III

other ninety per cent.

BY FRED AN1ES

A little less than one hundred
years ago, the national congress
seriously considered a proposal to
abolish the U. S. patent office. The
move was based upon the grounds
that everything which human IN
genuity could possibly devise had
already been invented and patent
ed. And that since nothing more
was likely to be invented, 1t would
be a useless expense to maintain
the patent office any longer. For
trlnately there were a few VISION
aries in congress who felt that pos
sibly humanity might still devise
new and better ways OF DONG
things. and so it was decided 10
maintain the patent office a little
longer. Since that time practically
every mechanical device which we
now consider essential to life ana
comfort. has been patented.
Since coming to the Imperial Val
ley I have met few very charm-
ing people. who feel sure that the
time for horticultural experiment
tation in this region has passed.
They feel quite sure that they know
lust which trees, shrubs, and
plants. will do well here, and that
planting anything aside from that
circumscribed list. will be a useless
waste of time and money. While l
like and admire these people. and
defer to their experience with local
conditions, l cannot accept the
finality of their conclusions. feel
that horticulture is still very much
in the experimental stage IN this
Valley and that ten or fifteen years
from now. or in even less time, we
shall be growing many oeautl1ui
and valuable trees and plants
which We do not now have.
I Much of the work of experiment
| tation with varieties of trees ano
plants not now generally grown
here. can and should be done by
amateur gardeners, in their own
yards. 1t is highly desirable tha'
paintings of street trees be Kept as
uniform as possible, but there Is
no better way to confer individual
itv upon your home. than by plant
ing varieties of trees and shrubs
not common in your neighborhood
about the house.
OF course if you wish your plant
ings to express individuality, II you
wish to know the qualification OF
having been the first one in town
to successfully grow a certain Varie-
tv of tree or shrub, then you must
be willing to take chance. You
cannot expect your nurseryman 10
guarantee your success with plants
which have not yet been proven IN
this locality. But the expense VIII

Roses Suggested
In Beautifying
Of Valley Homes

The rose will always reign su-
preme as the Queen OF the garden,
because no other plant exceeds it
in general satisfaction.
The great problem in the rose
bed each fall is to plan for space
in which to plant newer and better
varieties
Rosarians have been known to
plant their roses so close that they
touch, and overcome the starvation
bound to occur under such a condi-
ton. by an intelligent plan of feed
ing. Such a garden becomes more
of an experimental plot.
In the small garden. or the crowd
ed garden. the only manner in
which space can be provided. is by
taking out the old in favor OF the
new. This is an exceedingly diff
cult thing to do in view of the love-
illness of all rose varieties. Some
follow the policy of steeling them
selves to an impartial viewpoint
They take into consideration the
frequency and number of blooms,
the keeping qualities of the flower
when cut. the beauty of bud, the
beauty of the full blown flower,
the texture of the petals, the fra
GRANGE, the resistance to mildeW,
black-spot or rust. the beauty OF
the foliage and the form of the
bush, or the strength of stem.
Certain beautiful varieties. priced
for their bud and flower, are no
tably poor growers, with foliage
susceptible to mildeW Other vari
cites are such thrifty individuals
that they soon stand out as bea-
cons above all others in the garden,
thereby running the general ap-
pearance of the rose bed. Unless
the strong growers may be trans
ferred to another spot where they
can grow as they wish. it may be
necessary to dispense with them
to tidy up the bed.
The following. among the newer
roses, are quite worthy of considera-
tion:
Angels Mateu (Patented)-Deep
shade of old rose flushed orange
Dark. glossy foliage. Very prolific
blocmer. The fragrance OF the
Blackberry.
