Railroad Gardening — The Station of the Reading R. R.^ at Reading, ^a. 



I do not use the barberry except in 

 mixed shrubberies. I use the whole 

 shrub family, but the various spiraeas 

 and deutzias are our favorites. We 

 also use the hardy hydrangea profuse- 

 ly. Philadelphus, weigelia, hibiscus and 

 Pyrus Japonica are also freely used. In 

 lilacs we like Marie Le Graye best for 

 white, and for a dark one Souvenir de 

 Antoine Spaeth. Mme. Lemoine, a 

 double white one, is also fine. I gen- 

 erally mingle evergreens in with the 

 shrubbery, which latter are cut out 

 gradually, leaving the evergreens. 



Trees are not largely used, chiefly be- 

 cause they would obstruct signals, an 

 important matter, but where they are 

 permissible the Norway maple is the 

 one preferred. It is the most uniform 

 and is not so apt to break if kept 

 reasonably trimmed. 



We trim our hedges twice a season 

 only for outside points, but elsewhere, 

 where they have to be always neat and 

 uniform, three or four times at least. 



Evidence That It Pays. 



And now, gentlemen, coming back 

 to the title of my story, "Eailroad Gar- 

 dening as a Paying Investment," I 

 think the fact that my company has kept 

 the system up enthusiastically during 

 all the twenty-one years I have been in 

 its employ and is as keen for it as ever 

 is striking evidence that it has found 

 it a paying investment. The territory 

 over which I have direct charge runs 

 from Philadelphia to Williamsport; 

 from Reading to Harrisburg; from 

 Reading to Allentown; from Phila- 

 delphia to Chestnut Hill; from Phila- 

 delphia to Bound Brook; from Phila- 

 delphia to Bethlehem; from Camden to 

 .\tlantic City and Cape May, and sev- 

 eral other branches. If any of you 

 feel like getting away from the Bmoke»tt 

 dust and din of the city and settling 

 down among healthful and pleasant 

 surroundings — and have the price — 

 first take a run along any of those 

 li^fi? ^'H^y^'fitte day in summer, and if 

 you do not find something that will 

 suit both your desires and your dollars 

 I shall be very much mistaken: 



Greetings and welcome you'll find there before 



you 

 And the oftener you come the more we'll adore 



you. 



The greetings of the blooming flow- 

 ers and the welcome of healthy sur- 

 roundings — with safe and perfect serv- 

 ice thrown in — for a very small con- 

 sideration. 



SHADE FROM NEXT DOOB. 



What is the law relating to trees and 

 their planting along the boundary line 

 between two properties? Is one per- 

 mitted to have trees so near the divid- 

 ing line that the limbs cast a shadow 

 on the glass on the adjoining property 

 and even the roots penetrate, to the 

 detriment of the growth of stock 

 planted out? E. A. G. 



The owner of land has a right to 

 use the land, and the space above and 

 below the surface right up to the di- 

 viding line. If the eaves of his neigh- 

 bor's house or the limbs of his neigh- 

 bor's trees overhang his land he may 

 cut them off even with his boundary. 

 If the roots of his neighbor's trees 

 extend under his land he may dig down 

 and cut oflf these roots up to his own 

 line. If he had not this power he 

 might not be able to erect a building 

 or dig a cellar within several feet of 

 the boundary of his own land. He 

 need not give, or have, any special 

 reason for wishing the limbs or roots 

 removed. It is sufficient reason that 

 they are encroaching on his property 

 and he does not care to have them do 

 so. The owner of the land should 

 remember that the limbs and roots ot 

 the tree are not his property. When 

 he has cut them ofip he should throw 

 them over upon the land of his neigh 

 bor who owns them, ^ give the latter 

 permission to eomc u^oij^ his^JliUB and 

 take them away. An owner of land, 

 however, has no legal ground of com- 

 plaint, and no legal remedy, if his 

 neighbor's trees simply cast a shadow 

 upon his land. The neighbor ma v' use 

 his own land as he will, even though 

 such use cut off the light and air from 

 another. Attorney.
