In, the. development of a lawn, tht ;greatest factor to be considered, is its water-absorbing ability. Thtenioisture absorbtd by tht lawn cornes back to tht, roots laden with plant food, and -ýrmtes continuaI heal1thy and vig- orous growtli. Next in importance, or perhaps, of equal importance, is to create a condition that encourages deep, root development. 'Deep roots have a larger area over which to feed, and by 'norgn deep root developmnent thty do not becomne so ,crawded, and consequentiy there is less coinpttition between individual plants for moisture and plant food present. The "perfect lawn surface is abso- lutely unitorm. There should be no humps or high places that tht wind may strike with greater force and cause thern to dry out quickly, thus making a barren spot in tht lawn. While blue grass and rtd' top have, been the base of most lawns of the toast. we are now ini a peniod where tht Bent lawns are conceded to be of' arprf nîert andI eaity.

Feeding of T.rees Imortant jonCity B, Thoasù»J. Lyncli (INorth 'Short Tret Surgeon) Too much stress cannot be, laid, upon tht importance of tht fertiliza- tion or feeding of trees; trees like ~îma-nr-wen -well niourished, throw of many diseases, overcomne injuries, aLnd art more apt to ôbe in a, good healthy condition thani those .poorly nounished, for we must realize that trees are living beings, and in order to keep ut), their vitality and restore undernourished and starving ,trees, we must replace in tht sou,. foodJ which tht tret requires and wvhich otherwise soon becomes exbausted. You niay. ask the' question, why should shade trees need ftrtilizatioii:, when forest trees continue to grow and thrive without artificial feeding. There is a vast difference in the environment of' our shiade and orna-' mental trees and our native foies suc a laveivrand11 Ccomposed vegetable matter, are raked and burntd, a lawn is established, tht soul becomes packtd, or paving and walks are installed îhutting off the air aiid water supply, or' naking it'entirely inadequate.
