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.

PLANTING IRECTIONS.
Procure good thrifty stock in the first place; this is of absolute import- ance. 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.

Crings IR This is the most decided novelty in roses we have had in years. Introduced from Japan in 1893, it has been a
source of wonder and admiration wherever exhibited. The plant is a vigorous grower,mak- ing shoots from eight to ten feet long in a sea- son. A charming pillar rose; for covering trel- lises or buildings there is nothing finer. The flowers are grown in great pyramidal pani- cles, each carrying thirty to forty blooms; The individual flowers are one to one and one- half inches in diameter and remain in perfect condition on the plants for a long time. The coloris a bright, vivid crimson, showing none of the purplish tint so commonly seen in crim- son roses.

Of the more universally admired plants, the Rhododendron probably takes first rank, and is always a source of wonder and admiration when seen for the first time in blossom; and when known to be hardy, and the glossy, decorative leaves evergreen, it is not strange that they should be in such great demand. ‘They luxuriate ina partially shaded position, but if planted in the open, so situate them that the morning sun in winter does not strike the leaves.

This is a remarkably beautiful new shrub from Japan. In July the plant is covered: with bright red berries of large size and edible, the flavor being pungent and agree- able. Laden with fruit the bush is ornamental. In this new plant is combined the useful with the beautiful. Aside from its merit as a valuable new fruit, its habit of growth is particularly attractive. Its leaves remain fresh till late in the autumn. giving it additional value for garden dec- oration. We regard it as destined to widespread popu- larity as soon as known.

The Hardy Trifoliate Orange.
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.

ROSA WICHURAIANA, A distinct and
valuable variety from Japan ; it is a low trail-
ing species, its stems creeping on the earth almost as closely as the ivy. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, in clusters on the end of every branch, after the June roses are past, from the first week in July throughout the month. They are pure white, 115 to-2 inches across, with yellow stamens,and have the strong fragrance of the Banksia rose. It is quite hardy, with the ex- ception of the latest immature growth, which may be cut back to some extent. The variety has proved valuable as a covering for banks, rockeries, etc., and for use in ceme- teries. 50c. each, $4.50 per doz.

In habit the plant is like the well- known white Japan anemone; the same strong growth and healthy foliage, and perhaps even more abundant blooming. The flowers, which are 2!5 to 3 inches across, have several rows of white sepals, and the blooms last much longer than those of the single variety. The plants grow quite evenly in height, from 215 to 3 feet, and with large and plentiful foliage. Ina word it may be said that this new double variety, which has been named ‘‘Whirlwind,”’ has all the free-blooming and other good qualities of the single white, or Honorine Jobert, and the additional ones of greater hardiness of plants, while the blooms are more lasting. These characteristics are decided ad- vantages. It was one of the most attractive plants we had in our gar- den last fall, and was yet in bloom when cut down by frost.

6 For Ornament TREES ” and Shade.
ERE it not for the stately trees that adorn our parks and private grounds and shield us from the intensity of the summer sun, as well as helping to embellish the whole landscape with their beauty and grace, we would find a large part of nature’s charm missing. Our native flora furnish us with many grand examples of tree growth, as the popularity of the
Elm, Maple and Beech attest. Other countries have their many interesting native trees. Japan, Central Asia and in fact all countries of the temperate zone, furnish us beautiful exam- ples. In the following list will be found a collection of such varieties as are desirable for lawn and street planting.

Hedge Plants——=
The use of trees and shrubs of the many suitable sorts for hedges and wind- breaks is becoming very general. In many situations where a division line is desira- ble a hedge will serve the purpose much more satisfactorily than the usual style of fencing, being much more durable and infinitely more attractive. Certainly the doing away of the ugly board fences that mar the beauty of so many city gardens, and the use of growing hedges in their stead would be a great gain.

Choice Hardy Varieties.
Are among the most beautiful of flowers, and very few are they who do not in some degree appreciate their beauty, and fortunately roses are of easiest culture and yield bountifully to those who will give them proper care and at- tention.
Roses demand a rich, well-drained soil, with plenty of well-rotted manure ; a liberal dressing of ground bone is an advantage. ground free from weeds, and in good cultivation. first planted they should be cut back at least one-half the season’s

growth, and each succeeding year, except with climbing varieties,
which do not need much trimming except to remove any weak or dead wood.
The list of
roses we here offer is believed to embrace the best sorts in cultivation, including a number of new varieties of very recent introduction. Aii are perfectly hardy and need no protection, unless in very exposed positions, where a covering of leaves or evergreen boughs will prove an advantage. PRICES—Strong selected 2-year-old plants, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.; lighter grade 2-year-old plants, 35c. each, $3.00 per doz. It is the experience of most rose growers that
strong 2-year-old plants are the most satisfactory size to plant; they are strong enough and o!d
enough to leave the nursery, and will toom freely the first season planted.

The value of fruit-bearing trees for the home garden, as well as the commercial orchard, can hardly be overestimated. Ona very limited garden plot, by proper selection, one can have fresh from the tree the many delicious fruits in their season, which is a very important item from the points of health and economy. There is also a great satisfaction and pleasure in watching their development from year to year, and know that in them at least is an investment that is increasing each year in value ata rapid ratio. It is also a well-known fact that, for commercial purposes, bearing orchards are the best paying farm properties in the country.

HIS luscious fruit, should be a fea-
ture of every garden. 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.

Moore’s Diamond (JVA7~e, see illustration). Nothing but praise for this new-comer, of a healthy constitution, like its parent the Concord, it develops and perfects its growth and fruit in a very satisfactory manner.
