there are, I think, more good reasons for fall than 

 spring planting. In New York if you can get 

 good trees in the spring before the leaves start, 

 and have time to plant them, by all means do 

 so. Here in New York there is no question but 

 what spring planting is best, if done early; but 

 if it must be done later with leaves on the trees, 

 then postpone it until the fall. 



PLANTING TREES 



Trees for fall planting should not be removed 

 or planted until the leaves are entirely off. The 

 only right time to transplant a tree is when the 

 wood is dormant and out of its season of growth. 

 Any time after the leaves are off and before the 

 ground freezes, is the right time for fall planting. 

 Generally some cultivated ground can be pre- 

 pared for planting trees. Quite a severe root 

 pruning of fruit trees, with top pruned so to bal- 

 ance, before planting, has given good results and 

 saves digging large holes. The main thing is to 

 get rich surface soil well trodden down around 

 the roots; then place a mound of earth around the 

 tree to prevent heaving by freezing and thawing 

 of the ground. But before placing the mound of 

 earth around the tree, put on the felt or tarred band 

 for protection against animals.

For the 



Some California Flowers 



IT IS perhaps fitting that the concluding note 

 in this series, devoted to flowers suitable for 

 our California gardens, should be given up to the 

 natives. For after all they are quite as beautiful 

 as most of the imported ones; much more so than 

 many we work hard to grow with indifferent suc- 

 cess. Indeed, if there were nothing else to recom- 

 mend them their ease of culture would do so, for 

 they are especially adapted to our climate and with 

 little pains we can have much greater success than 

 our English cousins get after much toil and care. 



As to arrangement, some may prefer the formal 

 ways of planting them in garden beds or borders, 

 while others prefer to avail themselves of their 

 ease of culture and use them exclusively in the 

 wilder and less cared for parts. 



In no case let any one fear criticism because 

 these flowers are common or wild in California, 

 for even those who live in the country see only the 

 plants indigenous to their particular locality, 

 while the city dweller must make the most of his 

 spring week-ends to see anything of them. 



For practical purposes it may be well to divide 

 these native flowers into two classes — those 

 reproduced by seed and those raised from collected 

 plants or bulbs. 



The former class, much the most popular because 

 of their cheapness, includes the great number of 

 beautiful annuals which cover the floors and sides 

 of the valleys with those almost solid sheets of 

 color that one sees nowhere else in America. Into 

 this class fall the eschscholzias, Meconopsis heter- 

 ophylla and Platystemon Califomicus, all three 

 members of the poppy family; the gilias, many 

 lupins, nemophilas, godetias, Layia elegans and 

 glandidosa, Clarkia elegans, Collinsia bicolor, 

 Viola peduncidata and Phacelia grandiflora. All 

 of these do well in the wild garden if sown as soon 

 as the earlier rains have softened the soil and allow 

 the seeds scattered over the surface to be raked in. 

 A word of warning is here necessary. If the sow- 

 ing be on ground badly invested with the seeds of 

 weeds and strong wild grasses, these will surely 

 choke the delicate flowers when the rains cause 

 them to germinate. So it is necessary to induce

Look Better — Last Longest 



BRENLIN will outwear sev- 

 eral ordinary shades and 

 will always look well. 



Brenlin is supple, not stiff — 

 and always 

 hangs straight 

 and smooth. 

 It won't bag 

 or sag — won't 

 crack — won't 

 fade. 



Look at the 

 ordinary shade. 

 It is cracked 

 and streaked, 

 looks unsightly. 

 This is because 

 it was "filled" 

 with chalk or 

 clay to give it 

 " body," and 

 the "filling" 

 dropped out* 



Then look at a 

 Brenlin shade. It 

 has no streaks — 

 no pinholes. Its 

 body is natural ; 

 The Brenlin Shade there is no "fill- 



ing." So there 

 is nothing to make it crack or sag. 



Brenlin is made in all colors and 

 in Brenlin Duplex, 

 light one side, dark 

 the other. The possi- 

 b i 1 i t i e s of color 

 schemes with Brenlin
