'Landscape Living’
Recent growth of landscaping in
America ties in with the develop
ment of atomic energy and is des
tined to reach its fullest heights
with tile shorter work week and
greater leisure the latter eventual
ly will afford, it is stated by Clyde
H. Stocking. San Jose, Cal., recent - i
ly elected president of the Ameri-1
can Association of Nurserymen.
"Vast strides have been made in
home planting in recent years as
working hours have been reduced
and people have had the money and
leisure time to extend their living
from the necessary but confining
indoorr. to the expansive oiddom =
on the home property,” Mr. Stock
ing says. “The urge to build out
door Bring rooms and unties for
mora-graciou*4iving and leisurely
entertaining outdoors has reached
p new peak every year since World
War II and the trend shows every
sign that it will continue indefi
nitely." Most families spend at
laast .eleven months of the year on
their own nronerty. Why shouldn’t
they fulfill their urge to live gra
ciously amid lovely flowers, shrubs
and trees? Both mentally and
physically, it’s healthier, an d itj
provides more comfortable living.

treeless and hedgeless real estate
developments, Mr. Stocking s'tated. I
This need for privacy and shade >
has given rise literally to millions
of plantings that have screened off
yards and homes both from traffic
noises on the streets as well as
i from undesirable views. In such
| developments, the home properties
with good landscaping not only en
joy more family comforts and
greater neighborhood prestige, but
when resold have up to 20 per cent
additional value in the real estate
markets.
“The country is entering a btage
wh-’re gracious living is becoming
more and more important,’’ adds
Mr.- Stocking. “Landscaping plays
p. major role in this tremendous
upward surge to a higher stand
ard of living. Its many values in
beauty, comfort, health and more
gracious family living are recpgniz
,ed more than ever before. At the
present rate of growth,” he con
cluded “I predict in ten years we
will have 75.000,000 home garden
ers in the United States all busily
engaged in -planting and keeping
their home as beautiful
I -md rewarding as Nature herself,
i The wholesome results of suph ac-
I tivitv will benefit everyone, includ

Dutch iris should be planted ir
j September or October. The leaves
S will appear before winter sets in
I but this is natural so do not be

winters with very little damage.
Crocuses should be planted more
generally. They give a cheerful

The depth of planting is very im

lilies are planted much deeper.

TEXT: “The best prophet of the
future is the past.” —Byron.
Two scientists were discussing
the future. One, a pessimist, said
that an atomic tragedy would des
troy the world in t?n years. The
other offered to give odds of 100
to 1 that no such thing would hap
pen,
“Those are long odds,” said ihe
pessimist, “What matcer you so cer
tain?”
“I don’t have to be certain,” re
plied the other scientist. “I only
know that I can collect my bet and
you can’t.”
Down through the centuries men
have been predieting the end of the
world. The- only definite Biblical!
promise is that wc will never know
exactly when the end will come.
Yet we must know, if we think at
all, that today could he th ■ end
for any one of us. The de.strue
