I20 How to Lay Out 



ponds and are especially useful for house culture. Fall is 

 the best time for planting. A few of the best kinds for early 

 spring flowers are: — Scilla. Chinadoxa, Crocus, Hyacinths, 

 Narcissus, Tulips, LiUes in various varieties and Gladioli. 



Nature has been very kind in jH'Oviding so many kinds of 

 plants for almost any situation; even the vines have their 

 place in the beautifying of the home grounds. It is strange 

 how much desire there is to have the kinds that ^^^ll not grow 

 in the chmate that is the enviroimient of the home lover. 

 The same holds true in vines as in other })lants. that there 

 are kinds that will grow well in the various parts of the country 

 that \vill not tlu-ive in another section. Take, for instance, 

 the Enghsh Ivy so much en\ned in the extreme northern parts 

 and grown so well in the middle section, also the climbing 

 Hydrangea, a beautiful plant. 



The same treatment is given the vines that is described for 

 slirubs. When piaiiting near the house care should be taken 

 not to place the plants so near the walls that the rain will not 

 reach the roots on account of the extreme overhang of the eaves 

 of the house. The following are a few of the ordinary kinds: — 

 Actinidia arguta, Akebia, Celastrus Scandens (Bitter sweet), 

 Clematis, Dutchman's pipe, Honeysuckle, Climbing roses, 

 Ivy various kinds, Wistaria, Woodbine, and Euonymus radicans 

 (Evergreen creeper) . 



The foregoing indicates in a general way the large field 

 in which the suburban home lover may look for the material 

 to make his picture; for such it is when the decoration of 

 the grounds is attemptetl. Emphasis nmst still be laid upon 

 the artistic arrangement of the })lants and flowers to get a 

 perfect result.
