GARDEN PLANNING AND PLANTING. ('W, E. Groves, John Coulton Co., Ltd., Hamilton, Ontario) The first principle in 'building it obviously to provide a sound, firm, lasting 'foundation, Cheap, slipshod work is never satisfactory and is in- variably the most costly in the end. It is precisely the same in preparing sites for the garden. Many of these aredisappointing, not, so much. through lack of will as through lack of knowledge. In the haste to erect buildings and attain something like a settled 'condition, mistakes are easily made which are not quickly remedied. We destroy fine trees and break up old sod; we start 'to make fine lawns, begrudge ample preparation and we try to grow so rapidly that there is insufficient time to really beautify surroundings: A little real planning would avoid these mistakes. Home Environment, -home is entered the moment we set foot upon the properly and coo - prises the grounds as well as the Mouse, Plant forms, plant colors, plant harmonies are each part of a good home and they apply with equal force to both the small and extensive property. It night be a -'great 'step forward if dwelling's could 'be built in sone relation to the pound around thein, rather, than in such strict rela- tion to the street line. This may not apply to every type of house but it could certainly be kept in mind in the more pretentious buildings. If floor levels, out -buildings and accessories were more carefully considered 'he fore the actual work of building it would often avoid an unbalanced -ef- fect that takes years of planting to overcome, Unfortunately, 'however,' the garden is usually the last bit lof work to be done and the owner or gardener has :to make the best of what is left behind by builders. Especially is this so in the sinaller and medium .sized homes, and with which it is intended to deal here. Treatment. There are two principles on which trope planting is designed, the form- al, and the free or informal.. Either may be good, though the tendency today is towards the informal, The free lutes allow for less exactness and where cost has to be considered is probably less expensive. A good format garden has to 'he very care- fully planned and laid out, There is a suspicion of geometry about it and a regularity of design that well car- ried out has a charism all its own, but is often a sorry failure. Hence it is advised that wherever possible the more natural method be followed. It is safe to say that the chief aim in planning home grounds is to produce a picture. Int the picture is, of course, the house and any other build- ings, even considering the homes of neighbors, Part of the picture is, of course, the possible planting, the dis- tant scenes and what the. gardeners call accessories, such as arbors, seats, etc. The small lot is by no means the most easy •lo beat ify, There it so little latitude; all the surrounding lines are so straight; there is seldom a carve even in a path and there is often a tendency to overplant, .A few bushes either in s'niall groups or planked separatelyis usually the limit with the addition of perhaps one tree, hut with care these may be tirade to enhance both the beauty and the value of even the smallest home. Now is the time to plan,' and in planning, it is well to remember right at 'the start why trees and shrubs are plant- ed, for this will help considerably in. the design. Trees are used for shade possibly to shade the'-'liouse—to relieve the surrounding roof -lines; to, act as windbreaks, or where there is rodtu for their own special beauty, Shrubs mark boundaries, cover fou'nd'ations, fill corners, break up the ground -line, soften sharp• grades and afford bloom with attractive 'berries. ir these principles are kept in mind,, the •planning will he simplified._ Planting. The chief reasons for failure in transplanting etre• loss of roots, ex- posure 'before: planting failure to plant •well and planting in wet soil. To clearly grasp what these reasons mean will 'probably help the pros- pective planter more than anything else, It is practically impossible to dig up a plant without cutting' off a large number of fibrous roots. The careful worker could save tpueh more of this root system than is frequently the case, 'but even he must of neces- sity do some damage and this is a shock to the vitality sof the plant, It is estimated that not more than one- fifth of •the roots are ever taken sip with a tree or shrub at any trans- planting. Now this means that the toot is thrown out of balance with the top and it is generally wise to shorten the top a little to avoid more evaporation of moisture than than the roots will provide: ` Exposure before planting is another eontribut- dry cause of failure, 'With proper treatment a plant can endure the leas of roots, but, instead of the needed protection there is often' much ex- posure to ,sun and dry air between the time of its removal' from the ground and subsequent planting: A drying out or withering of the roots mikes growth almost impossibleand it m'ay-safely be said that this causes the death of more trees and shrubs than every other cause' added to- gether. It can and:should be pre - veined.` Failure'to properly plant is still another cause for failure. The• hole is not dug large or deep enough, ttuc soil is not packed tightly about the roots, plants are too deep or too shallow, any of 'which causes produce ill efffects. Planting instructions are so constantly being given that there is no need to repeat them, but it may repeated that soil should 'be of such a texture that the roots will readiiy find their food; Clods are not good planting material; the soil should be sufficiently mellow to come into direct dontact with the roots and be firmly packed. In this same connec- tion soil that is excessively wet is a real pause for failure. It either pre- vents ,aeration or on drying out it becomes baked, excluding all air. Ex- cessive air currents are injurious but a constant permeation of the soil by air is necessary for life to the plant. This process is precluded by satur- ation or baking of the soil, There are other minor mistakes 'in planting, hat those named are the chief. Mr, Henry Cooper, R. R. 2, Sea- foi••th, was one of the winners of a:$10 prize in the Ontario election contest in connection with the Family Herald and Weekly Star, Miller's Worm Powders are com- plete in themselves. They not only drive worms front the system, but repair the damage that worms 'cause and so invigorate the constitution that it speedily recovers from the dis- orders of the digestion that are the result of the work of these parasitic intruders. They do their work thor- oughly and strength and soundness follow their use. Quarter of Million in '•Postal Savings. The Fairbanks, Alaska, paper pub- lishes the following :interesting in- formation concerning the post office at ,that point, The Pos'tmas'ter, Mr. Pinkerton, and Mrs. Pinkerton, wee both well known 0 this district "At the close of .the fiscalear gJune une 30.1926, 258'Fairbanksans had on deposit •in the postal savings department of the Fairbanks post- office $228;508."'More "money was de- posited per capita than in any other city in the United States for amounts over $200,000. A check made by Post- master W. T. Pinkerton showed that since last June the total has been in- creased to $242,456. In the natter of postal savings Fairbanks ranked six. tiefh in the United States andby now is probably farther up . on the list. Fairbanks led such cities as Oakland, Cal., kiantford, Conn., *Atlantic 'City, 'New'' Jersey, '' Phoenix, . Ariz., Louis- ville, Baltimore, 'Spokane, aiming - ham, Alabama, Boise, Idaho, 'Dallas, Texas, San'Diego, New Orlerana, amd many others whose popntations ex- ceed the 100,000, mark. "In the last three years sale of stamps at Fairbanks increasdd . from $8,000 to $12;000, During the same period sale of domestic money orders has . increased from 9,376 to 11,970, The number of insured parcels mailed from Fairbanks has jumped front 1,- 281 to 2,339. Where only 3,300 in- sured parcels were delivered in 1924, the number had risen to 5,180 during} the fiscal year 1926."
