ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT 
Although still greatly neglected in many places, the people of all sections in city 
town and country are awakenmg to the fact that the town lot and farm yard as well as 
the country vMa, is of greater value whfen attractively planted with a judicious selection 
ot ornamentals; that an investment of hardy trees, shrubs, roses and plants used in beau- 
tifying the home grounds and street, returns a greater interest in actual cash value than 
is possible with an outlay of similar amount in almost any other way, to say nothing of 
the added beauty, the increased comfort and health of the occupants. 
Hardy trees and shrubs can now be obtained at moderate cost, that will stand the 
extremes of temperature and soil of nearly all sections; judicious selection will obtain de- 
ciduous and evergreen trees that make beautiful specimens the year through deciduous 
trees and shrubs giving constant succession of bloom through the season, whife the purple 
variegated leaved and weeping forms are always ready for variety and contrast. '
