the house. The back yard is differ
ent. 1t is the outdoor domain Of
the family and here they should
have more or less privacy. The pri-
vacy in the average city lot is to be
obtained only through the use Of
shrubs and vines. Shrubs may not
be practicable on q narrow lot ~
they usually have q spread commen-
surate with their height. Vines or
clipped evergreens are preferable on
narrow lots.
In front of tall-growing shrubs
and vines it is usually desirable to
use lower-growing shrubs or peren-
mails. They may not be desirable in
narrow lots, although they offer an
opportunity for q variation in form,
season and color of bloom. Also, tall
growing shrubs by themselves usual
ly give the appearance of q fence or
wall, while q suitable combination
Of tall-growing and lower-growing
shrubs give the impression of 4
planting that is intended for flowers
and beauty. Thus, if your only OBJ
jective is to shut out the view 1t
ought to be done carefully to avoid
the appearance of being in a more
or less bare-walled room.
Shrub planting may be used to set
the yard apart for its various uses,
but they should not give 1t q check
erboard effect, nor should they make
1t appear too small or overplanted.
Even though it is recreational area
it may be easily overdone Scattered
promiscuously about, shrubs increase
the work OF moving and detract
from rather than add to the appear
ance. Where one has q very large
lot much more may be done with
shrub groupings. On the small lot
the tendency should be in most cases
to provide screens and backgrounds.
With the location Of shrubs and
trees settled, the main job of
planning is accomplished. However,
1t is wise to take plenty of time in
studying the arrangement as you
have decided upon it. Check it with
the paintings in your friends yards
to see how it compares and if it will
meet your needs. Don't be afraid
to ask for criticism of your plan,
although few are in as good q posi-
ton rs you are to analyze your
project. 1t is your yard and you in
tend to use it, 50 study it as you
would the arrangement of a house
Most people look at a house 70 see
first if it is practicable and then at
tractive. Why not look at the yard
in the same way?
The next step is that of flower
beds. Flower beds are more tenn
porary in nature and although
some plants resent disturbance,
the beds are comparatively easy
to change as need arises. In
most cases, the available sunlight
and space will determine their plac-
ing. Some gardeners are not inter-
ested in flowers, preferring to have
only shrubs, which require less care.
Others desire both flowers and vege-
table gardens and will use most Of
the available space for their culture.
Your choice and arrangement of
space should depend entirely upon
your personal desires.

Bloom in
Spring
February Daphne
Shows Bit Later
In This Locale
hotos eourtesy Jackson Il Perkins Co.
By A. e. Mclean

One of the older shrubs which Is
no longer planted extensively is the
early towering Daphne mezereum.
1t is often called February Daphne, !"
a name gained by virtue Of the very
early flowers, but in this section Of
the country the bloom is more likely
to appear in March. In any case,
the shrub is we'll worth a place in
more local gardens.
February Daphne" is a native of
Europe. Its twigs blossom out very
early with fragrant lilac-purple
flowers. There is also very choice
variety which is pure white. as we'll
as others which are quite dark
purple. The plant reaches about 4
feet in height.
Although this shrub is related to
the popular low evergreen shrub,
Daphne cneorum, it differs in out
standing ways. The leaves are de-
ciduous and the sturdy branches
assume a fairly upright habit In
the late summer Daphne mezereum
bears scarlet fruit. Its only re-
quirement for good growth is we'll
drained soil which is slightly acid.
If you want to plant one or two
"February Daphnes" it is an ad-
vantage to get them now, for
they move more successfully at this
time of the year. They are hardy
and planting now will not disturb
their early blooming. If you buy
plants that are balled in burlap
you won't have to prune them back
and lose the first seasons bloom.
If you are getting plants with bare
roots it is better to cut them back
rather hard and give them a years
growth before they bloom. Other
wise they may die back during the
winter.
There are several other kinds of
Daphne, for this is large family,
The evergreen ones. such as Gar
land flower" Daphne cneorum,
need some protection during March
or the foliage will burn considerably.
A light coating of straw, or even
some burlap, will generally bring
them through in good shape. But
most of the deciduous ones are
hardy and need no protection.

canes, Whlcn is very Damaging.
Protecting Hybrid Teas.
The following procedure Is ad-
visable for winter protection OF
hybrid tea roses:
l. After frost has caused defolia-
ton of plants, remove all leaves
from the beds by raking, and spray
soil with a good soil dlsinfectant.
Then spray the plants with Bor-
deaux or some other good fungicide.
Apply a liberal amount. See that
every part of the plant is Grenched.
These precautions will insure the
rose plants going into the winter IN
a clean condition, and will avoid
much trouble the following spring.
2. Now we are ready to supply
the initial protective covering. Re-
member that the base of the plant is
the important area to be protected.
Plants should not be covered until
the wood is well ripened. A few
heavy frosts will bring about a dor
mant condition.
Tie the branches together. so they
will not be whipped about by wind.
Then draw soil around the plant up
to a height OF 8 or 10 inches. Soil
has been found to be the most ef-
fective protection. If roses are
planted close together. it may be
necessary to bring extra soil in for
mounding about the base of the
bushes, as care should be taken to
avoid exposing any roots OF roses.
Resultant depressions between the
plants may be filled with leaves, peat
moss, etc.
The tips of the branches will ex-
tend above the soil.
Cautions:
More bushes have been smoth-
cred than frozen to death. One
of the reasons earth is suggested
for hilling up about the base of
the bushes is that it makes air
accessible to the plant.
Don't cover beds too soon. Late
November is soon enough to draw
the earth up about the canes.
Examine roses frequently during
the winter to see that sufficient
protective soil covers them.
! The essential thing in winter
protection is to keep the plants
dry and shaded from the sun.
Heavy protection, especially if 1t
is wet, is bad. and may cause more
injury than would no protection.
Spring Treatment.
In spring, after the frost is out of
the ground, remove the winter cov-
ering from the plants. Do this a
little at a time to acclimate them
to the change gradually. After the
winter protection has been removed
spray the bushes with q good fungi
eide. Prune slightly but do not give
the final pruning as yet. Then give
the plants feeding of a reliable
balanced plant food, applying one
rounded tablespoonful per square
foot of bed area equivalent to an
application of four pounds per 100
square feeD and feed at the same

location of trees, If needed. Trees
are used to frame the house (not to
hide it, and to provide background
and shade Trees for framing
should be placed at the sides. not
directly in front of the house. Most
trees, when mature. will have q
spread of from 20 to 40 feet or more.
If planted directly in front OF the
house they will. in comparatively
short time, hide the house. This
may not be especially Objectionable
when the trees furnish shade, but in
most cases sufficient shade would be
provided if they were placed further
apart nearer the edges of the lot
line). Frankly, when I see house
buried in trees and shrubs with its
architectural features entirely hid
den, I wonder why the money was
spent in having beautiful structure
designed and built.
The trees that are to serve as q
background are usually placed be-
hind the house so that in time their
tops will form a green background
against which we view the buildings
outline. Shade is considered here as
we'll as the views from the windows
and the location of buildings. One
may safely use taller-growing trees
for a background than for framing.
If the trees in the front yard grow
too tall they tend to dwarf the
house - the lower the house the
smaller the trees to be used.
Other tree paintings should be de-
termined by the views to be created
or hidden as the case may be. II we
want to hide the back porches of our
neighbors across the way and q tall
shrub will not do the trick, then use
small trees Or. if there is a desir-
able view across the country it may
be more attractive to frame it with
trees-so that it stands out.
With the location of trees deter
mined upon your sketch. the next
step is to embellish the house.
Shrubs are used to "tie the house to
the ground" and to accentuate ar
chitectural lines and features. The
foundation paintings should be built
around those that tie into the build
ing lines. We usually think Of
taller growing shrubs for each side
of the doorway-as a frame-and
for the corners. Low-growing shrubs
for under the windows and between
the taller ones. Shrubbery is often
placed in a balanced grouping, that
is the same kinds and numbers on
each side of the doorway. This is
not necessary for we occasionally
find most attractive and pleasing
paintings where there Is no OBJ
vious balancing.
In making your plans for the
foundation planting try . number Of
arrangements on your sketch. Then
60 out into the yard and study the
architectural features and your
plan to see If the picture will look
as you want it to. Look at other
places where the paintings are some
what similar to those you have in
mind and see how they may be i'm
proved upon. Take time to really
study the problem, for once you
have made the paintings. changes
are costly and delay the finished
result.
With the foundation paintings
decided upon, the next problem is
the yard. The front yard is gen.
orally considered as a public space
and very little shrubbery is needed
or desirable other than that about

GOLD BRAID REPRODUCED
 NOW IN U. 5.

SEATTLE, Aug. Perhaps you hadn't noticed it, but the U. s Navy's expansion program, which is normally thought of in terms planes and battleships and sub marines, also extends to the highly important commodity of gold lace
 Highly important? Yes, because about 10000 yards of it, or ten sea miles, are used yearly for stripes and insignia on the naval officers uniforms.
 Nest of it, particularly the best grades, was made in France before and during the war
 When Herr Hitler's armies moved into France, they effectuall;' strang- led the major supply of gold stripes and insignia for American navy officers blue and white uniforms.
 That was why the Navy Depart ment, on it's own hook, undertook to encourage production of gold lace by American manufacturers.
 And 50 successful was the 'expan- sicn program in the gold lace in- dustry, that now the Department announces the export, for the first time in history, of American gold lace to the Netherlands East Indies. to Canada, and to South America.

HUNTING

Defense Forces in Alaska May Hunt Without
 Having Guides

The guns Of hunters w begin to bark next Wednesday, when the big game season for deer, caribou, mountain sheep and mountain goat, and when the boys with tfe shot guns will go out after grouse and Irtarmigan.
 Recognizing that c lot of the boys in uniform will want to hunt on the days when they arc not at work in defense bases, the Alaska Game Commission last niCht an- rcunced that new rule has been made, permitting officers and en- listed men of the army, navy and coast guard to hunt big game an- imals in Alaska without requiring them tc be accompanied by regis tered guides.
 The lifting of the guide require ment, which is usually imposed on resident big game hunters, is meant partially to compensate for the fact that the Alaska Game Law does not allow the issuance Of res ident hunting and trapping licenses to military or navy person. el, ex- cept when they have been living for a full year in Alaska immediately prior to their entrance Into the service.
 Officers and enlisted men in the defense forces may hunt small game, including ducks, geese, grouse and ptarmigan under s10 non- resident small game license. They may hunt big game and bear, on a $50 nonresident general hunting license.
 Open season and bag limits for the coming season are as follows:
 Deer: bucks only, Southeast AL aska, August 20 to November IS, bag limit 3.
