MAKING BACK YARDS ATTRACTIVE PLACES Prof. Tomlinson of Guelph Qave an Interesting Address In Convocation Hall. ' Prof. Tomlinson, of the depart- ment of horticulture, Guelph Agri- cultural College, gave a very inter- esting and . instructive address on "Landscape Gardening," and "How To Lay Out the Back Yard," in Con- vocation Hall Friday evening.

Numerous slides were shown, that portrayed the vast improvement in a yird af- ter a few flowers had been put to good use. The speaker stated that : many people like vegetables grow- ing in their yard, and that this could be dome very easily and still have flowers growing that would give the yard a much better appearance. Flowers and plants should be ar- ranged as the people would think they would look best, but numerous mistakes are made In the arranging of them. The speaker stated that a com- mon fault was the use of too many shrubs around the base of a bulld- ing, therefore obstructing the view of the foundation of the building. The speaker said this should not be done, especially in this city, where the foundations of buildings are usu- ally made out of limestone, which has a very nice appearance. A yard can also be improved by the remo. Treasurer's Sale of Lands IN ARREARS FOR TAXES IN THE CITY OF KINGSTON CITY OF KINGSTON TO WIT.
