Shrubs About the House
Tho first requsite of a home after
having a comfortnblo modern house ia
a green yard, and the second requisite
suitable shrubs and ornamental plants.
Shrubs are used chiefly to hide or
screen tho less sightly places and fur
nish a background or setting for tho
home when viewed from tho street.
When planting a shrub or tree, one
should have in mind tho appearance of
that shrub or tree and of the house and
other surroundings when the shrub or
tree has grown to maturity. A small
tree may be very nico just in front of
the house, but how will you like the
effect when it has become large and
has cut off the view between the houso
and the street? Trees that glow large
should bo planted where you would like
a large tree, rather than where you
would like a shrub.
Goarse, vigorous growing shrubs
ishould be planted in the background
with the finer, smaller kinds in front.
All the shrubs in the front of the house
should be of the finer sorts. Tamerisk,
Cut Leaf Sumac, Golden Elder and
other shrubs of those kinds nro very
pretty in the right place, but they are
not of the right sort for tho front lawn.
The Tartarian Honey Suckles, the
Syringia, the Spirea and other shrubs
of this sort are better suited for front
decorations.
A shrub or tree should be planted not
for its own beauty albne, but because
of jts effect on the surroundings. An
opqn green lawn with the finer shrubs
on the rear border and abbUt the build
ings, with the coarser, larger shrubs
in the backtrround. and with a few well
selected and properly placed specimen
shade trees is ideal.
Tho flowers such ns tulip, gladiolus,
nhlox and ooonv may bo placed be-
twoen the shrubs nnd tho grass. Tho
largor flowering plants such as the
danlia and hollyhock look better in the
background.

Why not be up to date and have the same lighting
convenience as your city brother.
A small isolated light plant run by your gasoline
engine is what you need. The electric light is as far
ahead of the ordinary oil lamp as the oil lamp was
ahead of the pine knot. When in town, call and let
us explain this system.
