 nieiit in favor of frame culture.

 This time ditl'cr.s eonsideraMy witli the 

 J<Hality. \Ve can >isually trusi tliem 

 outdoors after the first of May. l]vcn 

 ih( n the temperature will sonietinus run 

 a little below the freezing ]toint. but if 

 not too scnere a little frost will not do 

 much iiarm, pi'ovided tlu! plants are well 

 hardened olT. Tf protection can be given 

 during cold nights they eould bo set in 

 the open ground even earlier than this, 

 liut where large plantings are made, 

 '•overing is hardly practicable. Two 

 good varieties, the two best we have 

 tried, are Boston Market and Big I^os- 

 ton. Hardiness is one of their strong 

 points, but the (piality and flavor are 

 also there. 



Kadishcs are another very satisfac- 

 tory frame crop. We now arc jiulling 

 from the frames and have made jirepara- 

 tions for a continuous supply up to the 

 ^ime the outdoor crops can be relied

 in the open and are jtist breaking 

 'hrough the ground, but it i>^ only a

Newpoit, K. 1.. lias liei'ii the •^ccue ef 

 some of the most ]uetentious iaiidscapi' 

 work done in this count ly in ili(> past 

 few years. Wadley & Sinytlie have done 

 miK'li work on the estates of millionaires, 

 among their best things being the court 

 shown in tht> accompanying illustration. 

 photographe(l at the estate of Mr<. Kicli- 

 ard (ianibrill. This is a formal '.garden 

 ill front of a marble teriaee, .t repio 

 duction of the famous garden at llam|) 

 tun Court, London. The fountain is in 

 the renter of a sunken .iie.i. while the 

 screen of native cedars in the distance 

 -epiarates the garden from the avenue. 

 The color shown at the base of the screen 

 is a border of anemones. The garden it- 

 self has a double terrace, with a depih 

 of three feet ten inches. Statuary and 

 specimen bay trees atid much to the ef- 

 fectiveness.
