The Car King Has Purchased Advance Suggestions- On Ways To Improve Gardens Informal is Best We may not have seen them but we have all heard of the wonder- ful sunken gardens of Italy, the hanging gardens of Babylon, and those of Versailles and other fam- ous places in the Old Lands. But the average Canadian on the av- erage suburban lot is advised to forget these marvellous ancient affairs when he comes to landscap- ing his own home. Formal gardening is strictly for the experts, with all sorts of money, patience and time. Straight rows and edges, rigidly trimmed shrubbery and hedges look sim- ple but to do them is not simple at all. For the vast majority of locations one is urgently advised to keep things as informal as pos- sible, to arrange flowers and shrubbery in clumps rather than in rows, to avoid straight edges, and to have lots of good lawn in front. and in the centre to show off the rest of the plantings. Even in the small flower bed, rather than row planting one should set out in clumps, three or more of each variety with the smaller things generally towards the front, the taller sorts at the rear, but with here and there an odd clump of bigger plants brought forward just to break any suggestion of formality. In paths, walls, hedges, we can continue the informal theme by a few curves or angles, but where - ever we do this there should be an obvious reason, even if we have to make one, by planting a tree or a clump of shrubbery, or using a fountain, some steps, a bench or perhaps a sundial. And anyway a curving, wall or path with the far and screened by shrubbery or trees is far more interesting than one that runs in a straight line from one point to another and both visible from any direction. Telling Them Apart Even In informal clump plant- ing in flowers' and borders, it is well to follow some pattern with the seeds we sow, otherwise it may be difficult"except for the ex- pert to distinguish the tiny plants we really want and the unwanted seeds. It's a good idea to mark every place we sow the flower seed with a little stake and also to sow the seed in a ring or tiny, tiny little rows. In this way it should be much easier to distinguish the good from the bad when germina- tion first starts. With certain very slow germinating seed like aspar- agus, for example, the old experi- enced gardener will also sow some radish or some thing else that germinates quickly and thus mark the rows where the much later germinating seed will finally put in an appearance. Of course in the vegetable garden we should al- ways sow in rows and the straight- er these are the easier to identify the wanted plants when they first appear and the easier it is to culti- vate. With some things such as corn, or potatoes, we don't need to wait for germination before we cultivate, but can do so right after planting if we don't go too deep. World's Finest Hobby In gardening as a hobby, one doesn't have to spend large sums of money on equipment, or long hours of practise. There are no green fees, no clubs to join. With a few dollars' for tools and less than that if necessary for seeds ty out of what was a barren patch of soil, and vegetables that "have a flavor incomparably superior to anything we can buy. For the Young Fry Junior, too, should be given his. or her little garden plot and a few packets of seed. This will keep children out of mischief' and give them a real pride of ownership. It will start them on the road to be- coming good gardeners and pro- vide them with an interesting and fascinating life -time hobby. Nothing To It Vegetables are the simplest things to grow. Simply get some string, lay out the rows at widths suggested on the seed packet, cul- tivate once or twice and dozens of tasty meals are assured. The be- ginner is advised to start with only half a dozen kinds and a small plot. It is surprising what one can do with a space of only 10 feet by 20 feet.
