THTJRDAYAP~RT ~ ~THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. BOWMANVILLE. ONTARIO PAGE I.EVEII Lawn Should be Centreplece Ail informai garden iayouts, end the informai type is elmost Invariabiy the best, are built eround e piece of lawn. Even in the very tiny city gerdens, this makes the most effective treat- ment, the lex-el stretch of green grass setting off the flou-ers, shrubs, vines and trees which , s urround it. If et ail possible one shauld evoid streigbt lunes in these sur- nounding beds of shrubbery and flowens, though rigid fence lines srnd driveways somnetirnes make this difficuit. Experts advise, however, a curving front ta the fiower beds rather than a straight one, and bath flow-ers in this and any shrubbery should be planted in clumps rather than in rowrs. Generelly small flowens an d smalier siirubbery are brougbt ta the front. though there should be a little variation in this rule just for variety. Sereens At the beck ai the flower beds, aiong the fences or in place af fonces one cen use growing screens. These may be in the1 form ai permanent h ed g es, shrubs, vines or bigh-growing an- nuels. Even a fence or wall in "'i Glen good condition wiil look more at- tractive if partially bidden in this way, and as for the more common type which is not so attractive it cen be cornpletely screened by annuel or perenniàl vines. There are ail sorts of pianting meterial aveilable for this purpose and found listed in any good catal- ogue.. The perennial types are well known. Many people do flot realize that one cen get quite good and quick resuits fnorn an- nuels toc. Dahlias, ornementai sun flawers, cosmos, aftd spider plants are onlv some af many things thet will reecb three or four feet in height in a few weeks. And there are quick-growing vines too, like scalet runner beans. sweet peas, bops and morn- ing glôries. Grow Fast for Tendernes The oniy secret af tender vege- tables is quick, uncheckecl growth. This means planting et the prop- er time, flot too early with tender things that frost or cold weethen mnay check and they must be bar- vested when just right. One is advised ta push growth along with plenty ai cultivation, somne fertilizer, and watering when ne- cessery and if possible. It is aiso a good plan ta spnead sawings out aven et least severai weeks so that young stuff is corning ai ong continuously. Another is to plant several different types- an eanly maturing sort, a medium and a late. Paths and Driveways Even where paths are flot eb- solutely necescary they will add interest ta any garden. But they should not be toa obviaus. and il one ivants a curve or two in themn then thene should be somne excuse for that cunve. sucb as a tree or group of shrubbeny. What the path will be macle ai w-' depend upon how much traffic f.u whet matenials are available. Good, firm çod will take samne wear and if dry will carry an occasional car. For more permanent -ne- suits and heavien traffic, flag stones, bricks. crushed cinders or well packed gravel are aIl suit- able. Where these act as drive- ways as well and carry heavy traffic, some foundetion and drainage is advisable. Coarse gravel or cinden will do very well. To keep d own dust and weeds in driveways there are many good weed killers on the market. Corm- mon sait is elso used for this pur- pose and it bas the edditional ad- vantages ai binding the gravel on cinder and discouraging frost. Transplantlng Hints There wili be littie diificuity in tnansplanting if one nealizes that the Important thing is ta keep noots fnom being exposedi ta the air. Because this will weaken, if flot kili the plant, prafessional nurserymen are caneful ta wrep all roots in mass, fibre, or keep some of the original soi] around them, and they also keep tbemn moist. In every ganden there is a lot of transplenting work ta do. To- metaes, cabbage, petunias, mari- golds and other annual flower and vegetable plants willbave ta be taken fnorn window boxes, hot beds or fnom flats in which they were purchased from green- bouses and *set out.in the ganden. There will be nursery stock, like fruit and onnamental trees, rose bushes, shnubs, etc., ta be moved or baught and planted. 0f ten, too, in thinning certain flowers or vegetables planted fromn seed in the open, it is passible ta salvage the plants taken out. If there is any secret about this business of transpianting it is ta pratect the roots from air and sun, keep themn moist befone, dur- ing and after the transpianting and make sure seed sal is press- ed clown firmiy. Moistening be- fore removal wiIi allow a bit af earth ta come with the roots and will prevent damage to the tiny hair-like feeding roots, wbich are essentiel if the plant is ta survive. Plenty af water duning tbe trans- pianting (and this appiies ta shrubbery and trees just as it does ta tiny, littie plants) will hielp compress the sal about the roots, forcing out the air and off- set evaporation and wilting. If the weather is dry it is a goad thing ta keep the soul moist about the newly set plants, shrubbeny or trees for a few days. A littie chemnicel fertilizer spreed close ta, but flot actualiy touching, the roats wili aiso heip stimulate growth and belp recavery frorn the shock ai transplanting. Witb smalI things like tomatoes, head lettuce, cebbage and ennual flow- ers it is a good idea, where fèas- ble, to protect from. bat sun for a day or two. Must Have Right Seed No matter bow favorable the wveather or how rich the sou nre- sults are sure ta be disappointing uniess one uses good seed. This costs but a few cents a packet but t is vital to success. It is aiso vital ta use seed that-is suitable for Canadien conditions. Some- bhing thet migbt give wonderful results in the South or in Europe rnay be fer too tender when planted in Canada. On this ac- count it is advisable ta stick ta purchases from Canadien seed hauses which only carry seed R ae Dairy PHONE 444 FOR DELIVERY King St. W. Bowmanville OBITUARY THOS.

Health ls Best 'Protection The best protection against in- sects and disease is a healthy gar- den, grown fromn good disease- resistant seed, well cultivated and free from weeds. Bugs usualiy lurk in weed growth waiting un- tii the garden stuff is big enough for a raid. For those bugs that eat hales in the foliage use poi- son. For those that suck out the juices and make the plant wither use a spray that will burn. Di- sease usually bits the plant celîs and causes withering or rot in blackish spots. Chemicals like suiphur are used in this case. Often one good treatment will be enough, but with things like leaf hoppers and potato bugs which lay eggs, two or three successive treatments. ta get'ýLhe young ones will be needed. Most. chemicais lase thein p3tency in time so ai fresh supply each season is advis- able. Business Directory Legal W. R. STRII<E, IK.C.
