(Prof Miller In known to man? tvsldenta
of Omaha by Ma artHMra (n Country Life
in America and the Uard"n Maaraslne, of
which he waa editor for many yrare. lie
l now at the 1'nlverplty nf Illinois, aa
head of the division of Imriecape exten
sion, whtrh haa stimulated a large amount

ored ixnlem ellda, br a rrofueelr lllus
trated book railed "The Ililnole Way of
Hrantlfylna; the Punn," and by an In
genlnus "Aumrallan ballot." which la
really a promise to do mm permanent
ornamental planting- within a yar. Theee
pledgee have been kept in a way that la
moat encouraging, the average expendi
ture being surprisingly high.)
The one thins that will make the great
eat permanent Improvement in th ap
pearance of Omaha In the shortest ttm
la foundation planting. Put Kmj shrub
and vinea In front of your house to hide
the foundations, to make a transition be
tween architecture and nature, and to
transform, your house Into a home. Five
or ten dollars will often buy all th
shrubs and vines needed for tha front of
the house. la three or four year ahruha
mature and you will 11k th effect "so
well that you will want a comprehensive
plan for year horn grounds mad by a
land scan gardener at an expense you can
afford by co-operating with en or twe
neighbors.
Tou ran locate these eh rube yourself.
Instinctively you will avoid placing bushes
In front of cellar window Naturally
you will avoid bushes that grow high
enough to shade the Irving rooms. A,
th corners yon vrtll thicken the planting
becauee these hard angles need to be
rounded ar softened. The beet way Is to
draw a plan to seal, and put most of
the shrubs three feet apart "Plant thick,
thin quick" is th rule.
Th car ef th shrubs la more Impor
tant than th kinds. It often pays to
spend more oa preparation of th soil
than en the plants. Th wont soli In
town la generally around th foundation,
Where th contractor has heaped th sub
soil from th , cellar excavation. Tou
can't reform this hopeless clay. Remove
It, with th sticks, mortar and other
building refuse, to a depth of tw feet
and a width of about three feet, and
bring In good soil. Fertilise the bed well.
And remember that plants under wide
saves get little rain. Soak tba soil do
not sprinkle until the shrubs are estab
lished, and ure water freely through the
first hot summer.
Three of th best shrubs In the world
for foundation planting ar Japanese bar
bery. Van Houtten's spiraea (erroneously
called "bridal wreath") and forsythla or
S olden bell a Like every good thing they
are gromly overdone, and the hydrangea
Is still more so. Do not plant one kind
of bush clear aronnd your house. Hav
variety enough to make good appear
ance the year round. Three to sis of a
kind commonly make a good group. On
th shady Bid of th house plant arrow
wood (Viburnum dentatum) or fragrant
sumae (Rhus aromatloa).
Vines will give your house mora and
bettor Individuality than excessive orna
mentation or showy paints. Every house
may have a different combination. On
porch may have Japanese and American
clematis; th next rambler and memorial
roses; a third wistaria and trumpet
creeper. Every frame houas may have
vine without damage of any kind by
using some sort of trellis, Oet your ar
chitect to design It snd tell you how much
of your house to cover. Or buy strong
poultry wire and hook It above and below,
so that painters can lay dawn and re
place th vines without damase.
Cltlsens of Omaha, I hav not yet seen
your wonderful and beautiful city, hut I
know some of It architectural glories
th expedition, th new hotel. If you
r proud of your city, practice founda
tion planting. There la no ten-dollar bill
that you can ever spend on gardening
that win go as far aa shrubbery acmes
the front of the house. It -will do snore
for you than 120 spent on a canna bed
In the middle of the front lawn, or K0
scattered over th whole place In the
form of cut-leafed, weeping and varie
gated bushea And it will do much more
for your street snd for Omaha because
foundation planting helps to make every
street Into a park, especially when all the
horn grounda are tied together by "con
necting shrubbery," running from the
frcnt of on house to another. Founda
tion planting la well named, for It la
fundamental to the beauty of a town.
Of course, cleenlinea is still more funds,
mental than beauty, but w do not have
to preach cleanllneaa In Illinois. W do
not even preach foundation planting. We
simply show pictures of the shrubs and
of what nilnolsans have don with them;
th people do the rest. Of eourae. moat
folks plant only the "best sellers." which
tend to make all parts of America look
alike. But such planting la better than
none; It all helps to beautify tha city;
snd later you can find some way to tnak
Omaha look "different and better."
Cltlsens of Nebraska, what ran you do
to glv your state a characteristic
beauty? In Illinois there I a movement
to plant an Illinois or prairie rose (roe
setlgera) In every front yard, because
It I beautiful the year 'round snd It re
minds ua pleasantly of the rich prairie
that haa made our tlvfllaatlon possible
and now furnlshea us with Inspiring
walks and drive. And in the midst of
our cities we cut a bol In the concrete
walk and plant an Illinois creeper (or
Engclmann'a Iry) erauae It la hardier
than th Japanea Ivy. self-supporting
and symbolises the "Ililnole wsy of
planting,'! which Is to use a high per
centage of permanent materials native
to Illinois instead of foreign and arti
ficial varieties. Do you not want a
"Nebraska way of planting T'
Wealthy residents of Omaha, do 'you
know the "latest and best" Idea In the
middle wst the prairie style of land
scape gardening? If not, the next time,
you are In Chicago you should visit th
famous Prairie river restoration In Hum
boldt park, and then give Omaha an In
spiring example of landscape garden Inn
founded on a restoration of the local
color or peculiar character Impressed upn
your portion of Nebraska through ages
of experiment by nature.
Members of the city league, you are do
ing a splendid work for Omaha! And you
ar putting th case very modestly. "The
solo object," you say, "is to Improve the
physical condition of Omaha." But do
you know anything of equal cost In time
or money that raise the moral standard
of home life Ilk permanent gardening?
Ten dollar spent on foundation planting
will create a desire for that outdoor

Romantic Omaha
NCE I read ,a most delightful
fc book entitled "Romantic Oer
J I many;" afterwards I visited
many vi in towns wnicn
were described. In all of them
I found srat beauty and a
ptcturesqu charm. In all there ware,
tod. some rough and unsightly spots.
The different fcer In Omaha Is that
a great part of th city is unlovely, but
t the seeker after veiled lights, rare
corners, and far vlatas, Omaha reveals
thoroughly satisfying glimpses.
I am sitting now In the dusk at an
upper window .on Jackson street. Th
houses rise In misty terraces from Leav.
enworth street to a far line which seem
to m to be Perk avenue. Aa I watch a
light glimmers out her and there, close
by m glares another, and beyond
through th shadow familiar ones show
their gleam, until ther Is a long vista of
Star-studded twilight landacap.
Slowly th darkness falls; I hear th
children coming home, calling to each
other.
I never tire or sitting In the same place,
to watch tha same play of fairyland. If
Whistler wer allv In Omaha, I'm Hur
he could do something quits wonderful
with this play of mist and sudden light
We hav an artist of our own, who
baa done a most charming 'VIw from
My Studio Window." Ills studio, aa I
know, apparently looks out upon unlovely
things, but ther evidently Is a time and
an hour when the soen Is enchanted,
SSBBBBJIB '
There Is a corner In Milter park planted
with Judag trees. In th fullness of
their bloom they are beyond words beau
tiful. Many people whom J know make
long trips to ee them and revet In their
exquisite color a cloud of sensitive pink,
against the green background. These
trees grow' in a rather ragged fashion
th branches .seeut to fairly float in th
air, with their flying bloasoms. Such a
mass of them together Is a sight long to
remember.
In June 1 go many times to Mr. Craig's
lilacs In Forest Uti cemetery. I hav
seen th lilacs at Potsdam In their glory.
They ar not so luxurious nor so lovely
aa our ownr And her I. make rather
bold to say that Forest lawn cemetery
Is to m more beautiful than any of th
parks because of it skillful planting and
th great variety of Its trees snd shrubs.
Nowher els are there so many. In no
ether plac ar specimen tree given uch
lovely ear and setting. Wher els In
Omaha ar there larches with their long
graceful festoons? I saw such trees In
Fera Pas la Austria. ,
i Th Commercial club tells in It booklet
many facts of our commercial success.
Why not a little pamphlet of our
estheUo life for those who car to
peruse it I suppose bird lovera do come
her who'd be glad to know of th charm
ing trip to Child' Point In search of
their feathered friends. Many there must
b who would be glad to walk through
th roes gardens In Hsnscom Park In
June,
When I and I wer in Europe, we
always conversed diligently with our
waiter at meal times. W found that
Baedeker left a whole lot of simple and
beautiful nearby things and nlacea tin-
starred.
If I wer a stranger and nlannln
visit to Omaha In May, I mijfht look In
vain through th Commercial club folder
for any good musio at that tune, and yet
for four years the Chicago orchestra has
seen her during that month.. - ,
If hav read a good deal 'about, th
creative listener; perhapa I am a creative
Sightseer. I know that people wander
many thousand miles afield, and yet they
may .never see half aa much, or enjoy a
much as some humble stroller through
th hills snd parks of Horn.. M, I
Privacy amid beautiful surrounding

You do rightly to distribute flower seeds,
even If you see no permanent results from
temporary material, for the chllJren of
today are the tree planters of tomorrow.
But flowers alone cannot hide an ugly
foundation or transform a bouse Into a
home; shrubs and vines are necessary.
Therefore, encourage foundation planting.
The quality of your work will be im
proved If you have a carefully organized
and well financed campaign. The Ideal
for some places is to sell nursery stock
at cost, from an approved list, through a
field secretary. Without such supervision
person will buy unsuitable kinds, or put
them In Inappropriate places, and many
bushea will die. But even then, enough
will generally aucceed to prevent a seri
ous reaction, and nhrube can be moved
to fitter aituationa at less cost than trees.
Tou will find little apathy. People are
eager to Improve. If you will only show
them how. Bo. concentrate on foundation
Planting! It Is the only permanent Im
provement that will not Interfere with
comprehensive plans for the city a a
whole or Individual home grounds.
For this advice I ought to charge you
J100. Tou would do more and vnn ,niH
have better opinion of me. You can re
pay me by sending some good ''befor
and after" photographs to arouse friendly
emulation In Illlnol. Bo I shall only
whisper on parting word worth thou
sands of dollars to you If there is any
I-artlcular town ou wish to excel. Sup
press' all copies of this newspaper that
ordinarily go to your hated rival and If
Its leading citizens ever ask whether
foundation planting is a good thing,
knock the Idea hard!
