ROSELAND 
Is Calling You 
More and more every year we are learning the joy of liv- 
ing with flowers around us — more and more we are taking 
a wholesome pleasure in watching the buds unfold into 
glorious blossoms. What is more attractive than the 
garden where the eye rests on masses of roses mingling 
their colors in a riot of loveliness? By setting out the 
right rose-bushes this spring you can cut flowers from 
them during the last days of May, and they will bloom 
almost continuously until the frosts of late fall.

The Worth of a Nut Tree' 
ARCHIBALD RUTLEDGE, PA. 
TF there is any available space on the farm, 
A on the suburban place, or even in the city 
or village lot, plant a nut tree — plant as many 
as you can! Planting a nut tree is like 
securing a good, interest-yielding bond, with- 
out having to pay for it. A fine young nut 
tree can be had for the price of a cigar; and, 
with the time that one might waste in glancing 
through a newsless newspaper, the tree can 
be set. That’s practically all the expense and 
all the work there is to it. 
1 he decision to plant a nut tree should be 
readily reached by any man or woman who 
loves a tree of beauty, of shade-yielding 
qualities, of productiveness, and of per- 
manence. When planted in any numbers, the 
timber-value should also be an attractive 
incentive. Few lovers of the great outdoors 
Even in winter when bare of all foliage the Black Walnut is 
an eflective tree in the landscape 
(and is there any one who does not love nature) 
need to be urged to plant trees. They recog- 
nize them as essential to many forms of natural 
beauty, and know them to be frequently as 
useful as they are beautiful. But why, they 
may ask, plant a nut tree? Why is there a 
preference for this particular kind of tree? 
As has been suggested, the nut tree has the 
double value of being both ornamental and 
productive. It is like a great oak that has the 
faculty of bearing edible acor.is. Moreover, 
it is a long-lived tree; hardy, lusty, and cap- 
able of attaining massive proportions. It is 
independent of most of those conditions of 
weather and climate which render other trees, 
with possibilities of equal value, less likely to 
succeed. A nut tree is singularly free from the 
attacks of insect pests. Like everything that 
grows, it has its enemies; but these can be 
readily controlled. 
A man should plant a nut tree because he is 
planting it for himself, his children, and his 
grandchildren. The pecan tree will round the 
century mark in beauty and strength. I he 
black walnut, the shellbark, the shagbark 
hickory, and even the white walnut or “ butter- 
nut” will thrive after the time-limit of a man’s 
life has been passed. The nut tree is therefore
