Tree and Shrubbery. Roots a . Menace to Perennial 2: s * Bordéers The roots 'ofz all shade trées extend many feet beyond their ends of the limbs, in such places as some of the Willow family, the Poplar family, roots have been known to run more than a hundred feet and literally fill â€"the ~Aower beds with small fibrous ‘»oots, :: . td Preparing Heavy, Stiff Clay m« x 2 Soil s In order to use a tremendous lot of: manure and fertilizer in a single year it must be thoroughly workedâ€" into the surface of the soil before it is turned under andâ€"then aâ€"second coat of manure and <limestone used as a top dressing and worked in theâ€"suri face. If one does not want to use ordinary rotted stable manure for this top dressing, it is allright to use pulverized sheep manure. â€" Bonemeal should also be added. You can use as much as five yards ‘of manure, one sack of bonemeal, one sack of â€"lime to.a thousand square feet of soil for th> first year application. ___ ~_ It is.a common practi¢e in some countries, to dig a trench along'.the‘ shrub borders, severing all theâ€"roots, in order that they will not run intoâ€" the Perennial bed. Neither does this do any particular harm to the shrubs as they develop their root system. more extensively in and around where the Burying a sheet of tin two foot deep along the shrub border is also a good method for coralling the root growth of the shrubbery. It may be interestâ€" ing to know that in some instances, roots grow as much as twenty .or thirty feet in a single year. â€" Where ‘the government washed the entire soil from around.plants in order to. study their root growth, they find that a stalk of corn has more than a mile of root system, and in the case of a pumpkin vine, fifteen miles ‘of rootâ€"system from a single plant, has been traced. In case of a oat plant, roots have been found to be as much as eleven feet long. I just sight these few instances in order that one can imagine something of the development of roots on various plants. â€". . ' In order to make the most of your grounds, «the landscape artist has many essential problems to keep in mind. The first thing one has to conâ€" sider, is the material available that will thrive in the particular locality, in accordance with its drainage, shade and texture of soil conditions. ~â€"The landscape that is developed â€" in the open_is always satisfactory, easy to develop and interesting, owing to the fact that tha material that may be used is almost limitless..

While the Lombardy poplars are used very exâ€" tensively, they outgrow their beauty, just as, rapidly as they come into besuty, where on the other hand, the Teas‘s Weeping Mulberry, ‘Catalpa Bungei, Mountain Ash, Cutleaf Weepâ€" ing.. Birch, Camperdown Weeping Elms are. trees that increase‘ their beauty with age, and are beautiful for a great many years. . In the planting of these trees, it is well to group them in groups of three to five, though they be many feet apart, it makes the border .most interesting. ‘When nature produces its own natural landstape, as no landscape artist is capable of_ reproâ€" during, it grows its shrubs, trees, and forests of Evergreens in innumerable numbers of similar varieties,.
