 comer of the house back. Place the tall- 

 est and strongest growers at the back end 

 and so along the line next the house, then 

 tone down toward the path with those of 

 mpre slender growth ; and in trimming 

 yfearly, cut so as to keep a rolling line

 a mulch covering of good leafy loam.

 surrounding of the roots of the trees,, say 

 four feet in diameter, should have a 

 mulch of some Wnd for two or three 

 years, and then all but the flowering 

 shrubbery beds and fruit garden may he 

 kept In tnrf.
