Cannas and dahlias may be trans¬ 
planted now. The dahlias allow of such 
severe pruning that they may be safely 
moved as late as July. Chrysanthemums 
from the nurseries, pot-grown, may also 
he put out, and colei, if small, at any 
time in the summer. 
The roses that have bloomed with such 
tropical splendor in April will soon be 
ready to spend themselves again. They 
should be kept well watered, carefully 
worked, and the soil kept free from 
weeds, and early in the month these, and 
all the borders, may have a light dress¬ 
ing of fertilizer. What is called “Early 
Trucker,” 7-5-5, is what I am using with 
good results. On the lawn, hone meal 
should be used. 
The shrubs that have finished their 
season of bloom and make their blossoms 
on the growth of the previous year need 
to be pruned now. Among these, the 
Cvdonias, Deutzias, Forsythias, Philadel- 
phus coronarius, Kerria and the Spine as 
— Van Houttei, Prunifolia flore pleno, 
and Thunbergm — are the most popular 
and best-known in this section. 
If any borders are just now showing 
forth against a background of fences 
may I not plead with the owner to plant 
vines, and plant them in such quantity 
that all the uglinesses will be bidden ? 
There are so many beautiful vines for 
the choosing, the annual vines, the Ipo- 
inasas, the climbing nasturtiums, the 
graceful and delicate cypress, the Cardi¬ 
nal Flower, the Humulus Japonicus, the 
hardy and quick-growing bop, the orna¬ 
mental gourds, the Dolichos, or hyacinth 
bean, commonly known as Jack-bean 
vines, both in red and white, delicate and 
fragrant in flower, and making a thick 
screen, and many others, are valuable, 
beautiful and quick-climbing plants. That 
Jack-and-the-bean-stalk vine, the Kudzu, 
is of almost too rank a growth to be 
recommended, but the main point is, 
plant vines and cover up the fences; 
screen the ugly views while you can, and 
then when fall comes let us hope you 
will be enthusiastic enough to plant hardy 
climbers to keep them out of sight 
through all the months of the year. 
Those gardens that have been planned 
and planted for a succession of bloom 
are just now rejoicing in the flaming 
masses of the Punicas, pomegranates, 
both of the flowering and fruiting kinds, 
than which there are no more showy and 
brilliant shrubs. The foliage is of bright, 
lustrous green, and even in winter the 
tracery of the branches is decorative. 
Growing next to one of these plants in 
my border is a white Nerium, oleander, 
and when the pomegranates put out in 
the early spring, their delicate, rosy- 
tipped leaf buds, with almost orange 
lights in the unfolding leaves, against the 
dark evergreen background of the olean¬ 
ders, is a satisfying picture. In mid¬ 
summer the flame-colored blossoms con¬ 
trast wonderfully with the delicate purity 
of the masses of the oleanders.
