Native Plants

The majority of the materials
used in landscaping effects are
native which should be good
news to the average gardener.
Among the evergreens are grace
full hemlocks and sturdy spruce
from our northern woods-great
oaks and slender elms are
among the trees as we'll as sweet
gum and sour gum. Dogwoods
in quantity show their lighter
green foliage in many spots.
The shrubs are so many and
so varied that they give any
gardener, whether beginner or
old hand, something TO take
home in knowledge of what will
grow in this climate.
Bayberries from the East
Coast hobnob with the rare
Stewartia pseudo-camellia and
the newest of waterlily Mangno-
las blooms quite near the COM
mon lilac.
But it is the unusual shrubs
that are of greatest interest TO
the visitors. Cornus mas, the
Carnellian cherry, has already
formed its fruits to brighten the

Hiking Trip

" A HIKING we will go is
"a apt to be our theme song
this summer whenever we have
the urge to get outdoors.
Division of packages among
the hiking group is customary,
and we find that foods are car
ried most easily in their original
packages.
If the sun is hot and you're
going far afield, canned meats
are safest for sandwiches. Sliced.
buttered bread or rolls can be
carried separately. Otherwise
prepared meat. cheese or egg
sandwiches make good sources
of the protein needed for tissue
repair after such arduous exer-
else.
For an outdoor salad one OF
the best assurances against
wilted greens is to take enough
calavo pears 10 supply each
hiker with a half-shell salad.
Select fruit that is not too
soft and wrap each pear in
crumpled newspaper for protec-
ton against the sun. Most any
knife that is part of your hik-
er's equipment will cut the fruit
into halves ready for service.
Add juicy fruits as accessory
thirst quenchers and -ralsln
cookies or uncooked dried april
cots for a chevy sweet finish.

THE sign at the gate says

ual passerby this gives little idea
either of the meaning OF the
Scotch word or the beauty that
lies within the entranceway 10
this 80-acre farm that has

The residence at 'Kennoway'
stands on the brink at the inter
section between the River Rouge
and little stream on the farm.
Back of it is a deep and steep
drop TO the water below. Hence
the name "Kennoway." which
means at the head of or at the
end of the fields.

Wide Variety
A well balanced planting of
trees, shrubs, borders of per-
ennials and banks of ferns and
wildflowers clothes the ravines

interesting garden. Though GER
tain wild flowers are located in
large colonies in chosen portions
of the stream banks and there
is a charming primrose path
winding in and out among ever
greens and shrubs, yet no one
variety of flower is stressed 10
the exclusion of another.
1t is this rounding out OF the
paintings that is of particular
interest to the Michigan gar
dener.

Don't Want to Go

But most straying husbands
don't want TO go. They merely
want to be let off the leash for
a little wandering-and then 10
come back and be forgiven. And
that's where a woman's heart is
torn with doubt and uncertainty.
After all, there often exists
between a husband and wife of
10 or 20 years standing, an af-
lection which is like no other
an understanding and comrade-
ship which nothing else can re-
place; and which is worth
salvaging out of the wreck OF
