CLEMATIS SEEDS. 



I am enclosing a sample of some clem- 

 atis seeds that I propose to sow. How 

 should I cure them and when is the best 

 time to sow them here in Louisiana? 



M. H. W.— La. 



The sample of clematis seeds for- 

 warded with the inquiry seems to re- 

 quire no special curing, the seeds being 

 ripe and dry. In the south the sooner 

 flomatis seeds are planted after ripen- 

 ing the better. If sown now, it is prob- 

 able that some of the seeds will germi- 

 nate in the spring and others during 

 the summer, the germination of clematis 

 seeds being somewhat irregular.

DEALING WITH LANDSCXPE MEN. 



[An oxtract from an udilrcss Ly WiUiiini 

 Kesslcr, liin(ls<a|)e architect, delivered before the 

 Southern Nurserymen's Association, continued 

 from The Review of December 7, 1010. J 



How a Landscaper Works, 



As some of you may not know just 

 liow a landscape architect works, and 

 might be led to a better understanding 

 by a short outline of his methods, I 

 vvill attempt to describe in a concise 

 way the requirements of the work. 

 First, after consulting with the owner, 

 on the ground, he makes a topograph- 

 ical survey and map of the property 

 to be improved, showing by this map 

 the location of existing features, such 

 as trees, hounding streets, buildings, 

 liodies of water, etc., and the contour 

 of ground surface, and such existing 

 surroiuniing features as may influence 

 the design. 



Based on iiis study of tiic property 

 and data shown on the map, he then 

 must locate proposed buildings, consult

with the architect as to the orientation 

 of the floor plan, fix the entrances, es- 

 tablish elevations for floors, so that the 

 building will not only fit the site but 

 will be approached in the best manner, 

 so that its arrangement with other 

 buildings and landscape features will 

 he to the best advantage, economically 

 jiiid for the best effect. 



Ill definitely locating the buildings 

 he uses the topographic map for the 

 jturpose of determining the height of 

 floors, the problems of approach and 

 drainage, the establishing of scale be- 

 tween building, lawn and garden areas, 

 etc., for it should be known that unless 

 the different features of the scheme are 

 in scale with each other the rosnlt will 

 not be a satisfactory one. 



After the Preliminaries, 



After a preliminaiy plan of general 

 arrangement is made, sections are pro- 

 jected from tiic topographic map show- 

 ing the confonnation of the natural 

 ground through each important axis, 

 and a jiroposed grade is laid on this 

 profile, tliiis enabling him to definitely 

 fit the grade of ground surfaces, drive- 

 ways, walks, lawn and garden areas, 

 and design drainage systems to fit exist- 

 ing conditions. This also enables him 

 to calculate quantities of earth work 

 ill cubic yards and form an estimate 

 of the cost of the work. 



The general plan of arrangement also 

 sliows the arrangement of plantings,
