Attractive Ffome Grounds. 6S 8 .& | O make our home grounds attractive is quite as important a consid- eration as effective arrangement of interiors. Much thought and care are expended on the designs of the exterior of many of our houses, as well as on the convenience and adaptability of the interior. We cannot stop wisely with our efforts to produce pleasing effects outside, with the completed house design, if further opportunities offer themselves for completeness of effect, any more than would be thought satisfactory in regard to interior finish. Surely the house is not considered as filling its highest idea of completeness when the contractor has com- pled with the usual stipulations. Now comes the furnishings with more or less degree of elaborateness, as the taste of the individual dictates. It should be quite the same with the grounds surrounding our homes. ROM the most restricted city lot to the more liberal setting of the sub- td urban home and country estate, the possibilities of completing the effect by the judicious manipulation of nature’s furnishings—her grass, shrubs, trees, with their varying tints and shades of every imaginable color and form—give possibilities that should not be neglected by any one. Where the most complete results are obtained, the architecture of the house is in keeping with its surroundings, and so located as to accentuate the general layout as well as preserve the most interesting views. House architects and landscape gardeners should work together, for seldom is expertness in both branches found in one ifdividual. There are, however, a number of important features relative to garden and home ground improvement and lay-out applicable to all circumstances, whether of service in the original planning of new lay-outs, or the improving and remodeling of old grounds, and it is safe to say that very few places are not susceptible to improve- ments in this direction. A carefully kept lawn will often be an important feature. Grass well groomed is the most delightful of nature’s carpets ; its velvety surface is beautiful to the eye, and most pleasant to walk upon, but very seldom will it alone give completeness to the effect. General Latalogue, REE growth, in greatest variety, plays an important part, and our gen- eral landscape would appear very different were it not for them. The lower-growing shruby plants and the herbaceous sorts all combine to lend a finish to nature which is so attractive. Though we could not, even if we chose, copy nature’s detail, we can gain important ideas that, by proper modification, will guide us in the right direction. Through the zeal of the collectors, ‘‘nature’s scattered excellencies’’’ are now available. Instead of being restricted to the varieties that grow native about us, we have the whole flora, practically, of the world at our conunand, as well as the greatest number of the varieties that have been fostered into existence by much care and painstaking. So we have the opportunity of idealizing our home grounds and garden, and selecting what suits our taste of nature’s choicest creations. HE only really satisfactory way to plan and lay out our home grounds and gardens is the permanent way—that is, utilizing the sorts of material as are by natural habit able to withstand the severity of the climate in which we tive. This is, of course, the only way that anything like broad and extensive landscape effects can be obtained, but it is equally applicable to the more restricted city grounds as well, where people frequently are wont to spend much time and money on the planting out each season, feeble exotics from the greenhouse, that at best can only exist for the short season of a few weeks. Make one’s plantings largely of the hardy and permanent sorts, and the attractiveness of effect need lose none by it. But to the planter is gained much. The item of care is very much reduced, the yearly renewal is largely done away with, and the feeling that the results of one’s efforts are not destroyed with the first frost, but remain, to grow each succeeding year in beauty and value is a great satisfaction and genuine pleasure. In planning and purchasing for the coming season, give this matter careful consideration, and you will find by consulting the catalogue of the hardy plant dealer, that the variety to select from is very great, and the expense most reasonable. “Fle who buildeth a fatr house on an ill seat commutteth hineself to prison.”’ BACON.

One’s success after this has been done depends largely on the care and attention bestowed. The following are a few cardinal points: While some kinds of plants will live, when the conditions are very unfavorable, they respond quickly to good treatment, and one who has any growing thing under his care should strive to give it those surrounding conditions that are most conducive to its wel- fare. Where soil is not naturally light and dry, it should be made so by draining. Thorough plowing or deep spading will render soil suitable for planting, and unless the ground is in a high state of cultivation and very rich, a liberal supply of well- rotted manure should be incorporated with the soil. The ground should be pre- pared with as much care as would be deemed correct for a successful garden spot. In the case of ornamental planting on the lawn, the grass should be removed for several square feet and the ground prepared as above, replacing perhaps some of the turf afterwards, but not so but that an open space remains around the newly planted shrub or tree. Before planting, prune back all broken roots, and trim back the tops about one-half the last season’s growth, thus lessening the strain on the roots; the exceptions to this rule are evergreens, which should not be pruned. The greatest care should be taken to keep the roots from becoming dry, par- ticularly with evergreens. Keep them moist and away from the light, and get them in the ground as soon as possible. In all cases the hole should be dug large enough to allow the roots to be straight and natural, and with the tree held in an upright position, have the finest and best soil carefully worked in among the roots so firmly that no air spaces are left; this is very important. After planting, in the case of trees and shrubs, mulch well by placing several inches of coarse manure or grass clippings around as far out as the roots extend ; this provides an even mois- ture about the roots. In all cases keep the ground about young planted stock cul- tivated and open and never allow the grass to grow about and choke them. Should our customers follow the above directions, modifying the treatment as the special needs of the different kinds of stock would indicate, we are confident that complaints would be very few indeed. 4 O22CiA) Hes AND GENERAL (AA oeU = Hardy Ornamental and Fruit Trees, Shrubs, Vines, Roses, Herbaceous Plants, Etc.

This is the most hardy of the orange family and will stand our northern climate with little or no protection. In the parks of both New York and Philadelphia it is growing luxuriantly, and blooming and fruiting profusely. It is of a dwarf, low, symmetrical growth, with beautiful glossy green leaves, and an abundance of large white, sweet-scented blossoms. The fruit is small, bright orange-red in color, having a pecu- liar flavor. The fine appearance of the plant makes it of peculiar value and beauty. Itisa conspicuous and attractive object in any shrub- bery or pleasure ground, and is best suited for open ground culture. It blooms very profusely in spring and early summer, but after the fruit begins to form, blossoms are not plentiful. Our cut represents a young tree, about four feet high, as it appears when in bloom and when in fruit, but the flowers and fruit do not appear together to the extent there shown.

Its abundant crops are al- ways welcome, and are most delightful to be eaten from the hand, as well as of greatest value for cooking and preserv- ing. There seem to be people who suppose that plums are difficult to grow successfully. This idea cannot be the result of experience, at least in recent years, for- cer- tainly the abundant yields of the last several seasons are proof to the contrary. Plant plum trees, and in a few years you will not regret it. They do not grow to very large size, and take up little room, but have a way of loading their branches to almost breaking with fruit, lus- cious enough to satisfy the most exacting. There will sometimes appear on the branches of some varieties black, warty knots; these should be cut off at once and burned. The curculio, a small insect, will sometimes attack the fruit of certain varieties, when it is just starting to develop, causing it to rot. In sections where this trouble is prevalent, spraying the trees with “London Purple,’ one pound to 200 gallons of water, twice, with an interval of about two weeks, will overcome the trouble.
