Flowers! Flowers!
Spring is coming soon; look to the
beautifying of your homes. Even if you
do not own the place, try to cultivate
that which has been provided.
Maurice Maeterlinck, who made “The
Bluebird” famous, says:
“When you feel you are growing old,
cultivate a garden. There is nothing*,
like it for making you feel the sense of
growing things.” All lovers of Nature’s
beauty should follow his example, if
only in a small way.
It does not require large and expen
sive surroundi;:gs to have a touch of the
beautiful. Even tiny beds of pinks,
pansies, petunias, etc., give an air of
fragrance, even if there is no room for
them except the back yard.
Teach the children to love Nature,
and to cultivate a few square feet of
ground for vegetables and flowers.
They will soon become interested, and
as they grow older will have an inclina
tion to expand to larger fields, and work
mother’s garden.
Preparations for the gardens should
be made as soon as the weather per
mits; but, whatever you do, don’t allow
yourself to use a hoe or plow in wet
soil.
Spring is the best time for planting
' roses and most kinds of shrubbery.
Dig a trench now for sweet peas, and
plant the first of February, using plenty
of the right kind of fertilizers.
In planting annuals and perennials,
don't fail to set close enough to have a
mass of blooms, always planting the
tallest in the center of formal beds, or
in the rear for fence line if screen is
desired.
Avoid all kinds of formal beds with
stones, brick, or bottles as an outer sur
rounding.
Violets, candytuft, sweet allyssum, and
low growing plants make nice borders.
It is a good idea to let the lawn grass
grow right up to walks or flower beds.
Turfed walks .in a flower garden are
much nicer and more pleasing to the
eye than gravel.
All front yards should be well kept
lawns instead of a lot of small formal
flower beds.
Mass your evergreens and shrubbery
near the house, suitable corners, or outer
borders—this must be regulated to suit
the building and surroundings.
Any information you desire for plant
ing, call on Mr. A. C. Mauney, of the
Landscape Department.
