PHOiVE N'EST 27 STRATTON'S BAKERY Ambleside GARDENS AND GARDENING By &IINA G. HUTI', Landscape Architect as 5chool of LasJacapo Atchllccauca anal onal Lasdaaapc Scrvlca. Crslsate In Lsadacaplsg U. of C Amcric Gardeniag. Mceshcr Nati Some of our most beautiful and useful trees and shrubs are the evergreens. They remain green the year round and sup- ply much needed color during the months in which the most of our trees and shrubs are bare and apparently lifeless. Have you ever tried to visualize just how barren EVest Vancouver would appear during the winter if all the cedars and firs were destroyed. As it is, there is always a green background. The last few years have seen a tremendous development by the nurseries of a number of dwarf evergreens for use in landscape work. This is particularly true in the U.S.A., and we believe That great headway will bc made along the same lines in Canada, at least on the Pacific Coast, where conditions are at their best for the cultivation of such trees and shrubs. The use of evergreens in landscaping of home grounds is considerably improving the ap- pearance of cities and towns, es- pecially during the winter months when the flowers and flowering shrubs have lost their beauty. The use of evergreens in the general home landscaping plan requires considerably more thought than with deciduous trees and shrubs. They are more difTieult to grow and as a result are more costly. Evergreens are so very definite in their habits, texture and color that each one counts very definitely, and when placed without regard to their habits of growth will in a few years'ime present a very sorry spectacle, but when properly placed they form a frame for the home increasing in beauty as the years go by. Evergreens are the same in the landscape at all seasons, the only change being the fresher green of the new growth in the spring and the increase in size. In the winter months, con- trasted with the leafless decid- uous trees, the dark green of the evergreens presents a pic- ture of warmth and cheer to hu- manity, and what is just as im- portant, they provide shelter in wet weather for those good gar- den friends, the birds. In the summer time they pro- vide a coolness much apprecia- ted. As a windbreak they cannot be surpassed, and as a screen to hide some undesirable feature of the landscape they are inval- uable. 4V. H. Dundarave writes: I have a lot G6 ft. by 150 ft., which I would like to improve, and I do not know how to go about it so that it will look nice when finished. How much woultl you charge for a plan arranged so that I could do some part of it each year? Ansi'r.-- The proper plan- ning of home grounds require a definite knowledge of the habits of growth, color, etc., of all plants, and without this knowl- edge one is handicapped when it comes to creating a proper setting for the home. If you will kindly forward us particulars as to the location of your property the approximate amount of drop from the high to the low side, the exact loca- tion of any trees, buildings, etc., together with photos of the buildings from all sides, we will be pleased to help you plan your grounds. As we are interested in the beautification and development of IVest Vancouver, we make no charge for any assistance we are able to ofTer to garden and home lovers.
