Fot DANGER 0F COPYING The fact that a cetaini piece of work looks well and pleasing ina Îowe'r'show, is flot evidence sufficient te prove that the same layout wÎll be satisfoctory among.any particular set of outdoor surro ,undings. Many of the garden ret reats, vistas anid nooks as shown.iii the indoor displays are. representations of' portionls only, .of complete1 grounds.

So too, any garden feature is only worthy if it contributes te the success of the compléte and particular garden, coin- bination of which it is a part. At the shows we see many pools built on'the higher levels, which is contrary -te what they should be in actual outdoor scenes, :Watt r seeks the lower levels -and looks restful and pleasing when se, arranged. Of course in indoor work,* the 'floors interfere with a proper depressing. Of these water areas. Cascades, long stretches of'closelyý walled. water course, are often pic- tured and copied, the. ideas ýcoming te Ur, from many of th e old world gardens., Their love for the formati and their love for running water cer- tinyoverbalanced their love for the beautiful. As these - MillI Race" 'efectseppear in soaae of our hi cagoland gardens they do flot justify themselves. As orne observes any collection of garden displays, lie is apt to get an exaggerated impression as t'O the value. of walis, tight fences, and closely planted borders. Fromn thée standpoint of staging displays they are not overdone. If, howéver, we rear high walls, wooden fences'or any other barriers which obstruct a free passage of air in formai gardens, cut-. ting gardens or vegetable gardens, we have greatly liiiited our proba- bilities of success. Flower show echibits are arrange 1d largely with the thoughts of present appearances, with the intentionf among other things, of, stimulating interest in gardening. This, is ail, proper. We must realize, however, that if we pla4nt*growinig shrubs and trees 'as closely, as dense, as snug as weé see themn at such exhibitions, they wilI flot thrive, cannot be cared for and if it were possible for them to be thrifty, there wôuld be no room for expansion. tends1 toward an appearance of cramped grounds, gives a smaller ap- pearance to the grounds, shorter vistas, narrower spaces. Therefôre, ail lessons learned froin indoor exhibits, wherever and when-. ever. they, are to be enjoyed, should be interpreted in termis of outdoor gardens, and 'then furthermore,. in ternis of the specific garden with al its spirit, character, surroundings- and purposes. ATTAINING THE IDEAL *In, the- old days ,of. the,.itinierant fruit. tree salesmant, the book of colored plates, f ull to bursting with Iuscious fruits, brought> a thrill to every. miember of the rural famity to whom- this, glittering biait. was held out. StI such fruit wasbeing grown somiewhere, sometime, but flot often. This colered plate method, as used by high powered salesmen, was some- what of an imposition on the un- wary. However, if no one else tempts us, we get out the old catalogues and proceed to tempt ourselves. - n just about the samne way we may mislead ourselves by foolishiy expect- ing to attain in our own gardens, suddenly and with littie care and ex- pense, such wonderful gardens as wc see at the World's Greatest Show. These showy beds are decked with p.lants selected fromt acres of snug greenhouse'benches,, peected for to- day, and tomorrow they may flot bie s0 beautifui2. Those beautiful old European gar- den pictures depict the result of many generations of effort, royal millions, and perhaps poorly paid labor by thousands of humble and adoring workm en. Such gardens. we look back- toward for inspiration, for ideas, for gjarden principles. Let us then in our gardening programs', be -ambi-' tious, be aggressive, strive toward and for the best, but let us know the cost, let us know the time elements and even know something of what re- I NO MilI Phone Deerlield,241 Fimat treet maet of #irm<d am tim i., mt, tthe oad "0f, theAt ,JI
