Canadian Garden* Service By GordnuLlnisy Smith Nature does flot appreciate man- made, straight, unroken dividing lines such as backyard fences, abrupt corners on bouses or gar- ages or narrow, straight side- walks. All of these unduly emphasize the confmning limiits of small eity lots. The latter, however, can be made to appear many tuies more spacious if the fences and walls are paritally covered with vines, if corpners are screened wlth shrubbery, leading down to tan] annual flowers. Inutrluming Walks A curve in the walk or drive- way will make it actuelly intrigu- ing and wlll not add more than a few seconds to navigating tinte between front door and the road- way. If we put in these curves, however, landscape experts tell us, we must be sure ta make a reason for theux, othcrwise the whole effect will be artificial. At the bend in the drlveway or path, therefore, it is wefl to have a tree or a group of shrubs or a flower bed. In screcnlng, it la not necessary nor desirable to cover the whole of fence, wall or garage, unleps the same in unsightly. Much more pleasing resuits follow where the shrubbery, vines and flowers merely break the Uines of the man-made structures b e h i n d them, but leave enougb showlng for contrant. For this work the gardener us- uaily employs perennial plants, permanent shrubbey and hardy creepers. One can, howevcr, get very f air resuits wltfr quick'- growing annuaIs in both the buaby or 'u'le-growlng types. Vegetable Groupe Vegetables divide themselvee mnto tbree main. platig groupe., The firet wlll stand norne frost. -In this class will be thc garden pea, carrots, beets, -lettuce, radlàh, splnach and other hardy types listed for Canadian planting ,in Canadian seed catalogues. In many parts of the Dominion, planting of these wfll now be underway or planned. The second group in flot front hardy and le best not planted un- tii danger of cold weather is prao- tically over. This group includes beans, cabbage, potatoee and corn. Flnally there are the re«ally tender things that originally haou- cd from Mexico and other South- cmn points. These Inelude the melon family - melons, cucumn- bers, pumpkins and squash. Pep- per plants, celery plants and to- mato plants are also in the tender category. There Is nothing to b. galned in planting these before both weatber and soil have rcally turned warm. Recause one in advlsed not to plant certain types of vegetables before a certain ime, this doca not mean that al tbe seed sbould be sown at once. Indeed wltb vegetables that are caten in the green stage It is well to spread sowings over several wceks s0 that the season of harvest wlll be lengthcned accordingly.
