Fewster, of Van- couver, who is a lover of flowers and gardens and the author of a book entitled "AA! y Garden Dreams." The book is written with great charm and contains a mine of valuable information and interesting anecdote. I have it before me while I write this and the urge to read it again is so great that it is almost a task to concentrate on my writing. The Doctor in his letter sug- gests that we write an article on the winter decoration of flower beds which are ordinarily left bare and creerless. The possi- bilities of our native evergreens are cited in the use made of them by an English Landscape Gard- ener who was faced by the prob- lem of filling bare beds for the winter months. AVe welcome such suggestions from our readers and appreciate the interest shown. There are no doubt many who feel unable to spend much money on their garden during the wint- er months, and still are rather appalled at the dreary appear- ance of the empty beds. It is really not necessary to spend much, or for that matter any money for the purpose of giving the empty beds a more attractive appearance. Nature provides the necessary plants and all you need do is the transplanting. You are all familiar ivtih the ivild Oregon Grape (Berberis aquifolium) tall grooving, and Berberis repens, the dwarf vari- ety, and Salal (Gaultheria shal- lon). The first and last men- tioned grosv from one to three foot in height, ivhile the Ber- beris repens is rarely over one foot in height. These plants are native, and grow extensively all through the woods in West Vancouver. They are quite easy to transplant, and when massed in a bed present a very pleasing appearance. Then there are the small firs and ced- ars which are not at all hard to handle, providing a ball of earth is taken with the roots. This can be done by wrapping the roots in burlap similar to the way in which shrubs received from the nurseries are wrapped. The or- dinary sword ferns which grow so profusely in our woods might also be used to good advantage. In planting the evergreens or ferns in flower beds which con- tain perennials, care should be taken not to injure the flower roots. Beds or borders in which bulbs are planted may be brigh- tened up by the use of the wild shrubs which may be removed in the spring when the shoots from the bulbs appear. The fill- ers-in may be thrown away, al- though those who feel as ive do, ivill hesitate to destroy any grooving thing other than weeds and will remove the plants to some unused or sparsely plant- ed corner to be used again in the fall. Cypress Veronica is an inex- pensive and attractive evergreen which ivould merit a permanent place somewhere in the garden and could be effectively used ivith the native plants or by it- self. Winter blooming Heather is lovely and the price is not pro- hibitive.
