lawns others are plant ing hothouse seeds and uncovering the bushes that had been tenderly wrapped last fall as protection against the severe winter season that we expect in this country boulevards on main street took a bad beating over winter and are now a sorry sight covered with sand and calcium that had been tossed up by the snow plows the calcium is hard on the grass at this season and seems to kill it out another thing that is injurious to the boulevards is the thoughtless motorist who drives his car into the boulevard when it is soft numerous instances have come to light where motorists have damag ed the sod when householders are good enough to care for the boule vards motorists who drive on them must surely fail to appreciate the work done to make main street the pleasant highway it is in sum mer try and avoid driving on or walking over boulevards until they are settled after the spring season and so cooperate in caring for the show window section of our town
