A trial planting of Ginkgo triloba on

 for this purpose.

If the catalpa is planted in too rich

A. T. Goldsbokough, the strawberry

The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, has 

 prepared plans for the landscape treat- 

 ment of the ten-acre grounds surrounding 

 St. Mary's Academy, Notre Dame, Ind.,

J. H. Hemingway, superintendent of 

 parks at Worcester, Mass., disagrees with 

 the general run of tree planters. He says: 

 "Bear in mind that the tree has been 

 disturbed, received a shock, it is very 

 sick. You do not want plum pudding 

 and roast the first thing after a long sick- 

 ness; well, then, do not' give it to your 

 tree in the shape of strong loam; do not 

 cover the roots or allow them to touch 

 it at all. Cover it first with the poorest 

 material that you dig out in working the 

 hole, and cover the roots with the same. 

 Make the tree struggle for a living (on 

 the same principle as the cutting bench). 

 Strong loam causes a fungous growth 

 and decay sets in. ' ' 



Patrick O'Mara contributes a hand- 

 somely illustrated article on Hardy Bulbs
