VOL. XXXII. So INDIANAPOLIS. IND., MAY 1, 1897. NO. 18 EXPERIENCE DEPAK TASTE AND BEAUTY ABOUt_VI___f EOME OUTSIDE THB HOUSE Including Fainting, Lawn, Flowera, Fences etc 1st Premium—In order to make the home most beautiful, taste and skill are in greater demand than money, although money is needed. The first consideration is to have all buildings properly located, substantially and neatly erected, then kept well paint- ad and in good repair. The painls should be selected to suit the size, location, and quality of each building. One may often oopy from others to advantage. The fewer fences, and the less conspicuous the better. There certainly is no prettier fence than a well kept osage hedge. But lest I be set down as "not up to date" I will recommend the woven wire instead, which Is all that oan be desired as a fence, with the additional merit of not requiring paint, neither harboring weeds or vermin. For divisions between front and back yards, and as aoreens to shut oft views of stables and outbuildings, arbor vilte is prettiest, whilst privet, mixed altheas, splreas or other neat growing shrubs are very ornamental, and will entice many song birds to build near the home. _ If a wire fence Is preferred, it tnay be draped with the evergreen or variegated honeysuckle, perennial peas, sweet peas or other ornamental vines. Also all rongh walls and fences where stock will not injure them, are capital places to train traits and grapevines, saving space and extra trejllses. I would even plant -wistaria and akebia to twine np the naked frame of the old windmill, clothing it with garments of living beauty, which will keep themselves in good repair after being once planted. Scarcely second as regard to looks is a nicely graded and perfectly sodded yard or lawn. Nothing will make amends for a lack of this. If large in extent, it will be all the more Interesting with any natural prom' inenoe or undulations, provided these are suitably and artistioally planted. Shade trees should first be located; some near to the entrance to the home; others along the margins, near walks and driveways, not to closely nor too many, but easily and naturally, copying nature as nearly as possible. Still others must protect the home from the hot sun. Securing comfort in doors, and cool shady retreats withont, dnring sultry weather, yet without being so close as to make the home damp and gloomy dnring long rainy weather. The centre of the lawn should have little planting, being left open as the prettiest setting for all ornamental planting, for the free nse of the mower, for games, With our abundant supply of bean- etc. Hful native trees and shrubs, there will be less demand for the professionals, ex- cept that transplanted trees grow more 'esdllythan those dlreot from their native haunts. To give warmth and variety during winter some well chosen evergreens, to be equally located are needful. Do not have plants and shrnbs scattered promiscuously over the entire •»wn. Rather put them in large clumps, "everal of a kind, and In long irregnlary shaped borders, along walks, near the drives, eto. Many of the hardy bulbs and herbaceous perennial plants will flourish even better when planted amongst shrubs, receiving partial shade daring, sninme^ and protection from cold in winter, and •re surprisingly beantlful thus located. The selection of kinds, and the location M beds, clamps, Isolated specimens, $8r- a«rs, eto., would require much more •Pace than I can command, and will be a nftsj. interesting and profitable study to any interested in floriculture and home adornment. Whatever else Is lacking, one mnst have some favorite sweet and bright summer bloomers. There is a large list from which to choose. We prefer a bed of sea roses, bordered with carnations or hardy pinks, whilst for table decoration sweet peas, mixed nasturtiums and gladiolus are unequalled. If lt is desired to economize time and labor, by selecting the best hardy bulbs, biennial and perennial plants, which mostly self sow, one may have a constant display of floral beauty from middle of February until after frost, yet often bedi of these are almost indipensable. Cnt pretty figures neatly in the sod and remove it. Spade and enrich the earth, planting only kinds In eaoh bed that harmonizes well. A bed 6x12 feet filled with mixed hyacinths may be advantageously planted with single petunias, being largely white, with a few bright colors. Start the plants in a box early and plant eight inches apart between the rows of bulbs. Whilst not new or rare, we know of no plants that furnish so fine a distant effect on the lawn, for so long a period. Ton will be proud of it whatever else you have. There are other combinations and arrangements so lovely it is hard to desist enumerating some, yet I forbear. Few things, add more to the comfort and beauty of the home than well chosen and neatly kept vines. For a briokor stone wall the Virginia creeper has no equal among the ironolads. Being small wooded, of rapid growth, it clings and will creep to the very gables, decorat- ingand festooning windows with a graceful network of delicate vines, which with the advantage of their dark blue berries in large clusters, or long crimson stems, together with the autumnal tints in all shades of yellow and scarlet are beautiful beyond compare. Its leaf stalks are so long they permit a perfect cironlation of air, yet seenre the walls alike from both sun and rain. The akebia quinati is our prettiest vine, having dusters of thick, glossy, dark green, beantlful foliage, clustering to its very feet, and never troubled with any insect. The vines are delicate, yet quantities of them no larger than a knitting needle, and with their clusters of leaves in all sizes at each joint, their entire length, combined with plum colored clusters of begonia shaped flowers render it very beautiful Indeed. No other hardy vine so gracefully twines around porch pillars and balconies, or between bay windows, festooning and draping cornioes ln the most beautiful and artistic manner Imaginable. Both the vine and foliage ot the large flowering clematis are the very opposite in appearance, whilst yet so popular by making so gay a display of bright flowers. Two or more colors combined enhances their beauty, aud some neat pretty vine may be made to grow up and conceal tbeir own ugliness. A choloe small collection well cared for will afford more pleasure than a large nnmber that must be left with little or no care. The enjoyment to be derived from a large and good collection, artistically planted and carefully attended can soaroely be over estimated. Sarah A. Pleas. with the piokets oft and the gates hanging on one hinge. So with the slightest notice of our buildings and fencing needing repairs we should be ready to use the hammer and nails freely. And the paint brush too, if lavishly used will not only keep the things ln good condition, but will help to beautify tbe home. Never allow old rubbish of any kind to accumulate. What ls more disgusting than old shoes, tin cans, broken Jars and dishes thrown around the yard, or just far enough under the house that vou occasionally catch a glimpse of them? Our lawn should have our utmost attention to be attractive and admired, the weeds and wild grass must be commanded to find another place for their riotous habit If not pluoked from the lawn they will eventually spoil the most beautiful yard. The walks are very important and no home is complete without them. There ts no family that is so poor but they can have good walks around the dwelling and to thoir out-bnildlngs. Whatever they may be made of—stone, concrete, brick, plank or gravel, they are useful and Inviting and we all can have our shade trees with only a little work and trouble to plant them. What Is more pioturesque than shade trees suitably planted around our home? We simply must have them for their generous and refreshing breezes. Around - this carefully arranged home flowers are not to be forgotten. Their presence should b« ln every available spot, if there should be an old stump ln the yard let It be covered with some vines or climbing roses to hide the rude appearance lt gives. Also plant some everlasting flowers that you may never be without flowers. E. B. F. Si Premium— It Is only with an ever watchful eye that the surroundings of our homes are kept beautiful and neat. We must be on the alert and ready to repair anything that is going to decay, There;is .nothing that gives a home a more dilapidated appearance, than a roof dotted over with holes where the shingles have fallen out, allowing the sun- wind and rain to come in at their pleasure, or fencing that is in • state of decay 3rd Premium—On approaching a farm residenoe from first sight, I make up my mind what the taste and education of the inmates are to a great extent if the buildings and fences ate ancient and in a dilapidated condition withont paint, shades or veranda, with an ungraded yard without trees, shrubs or flowers, I need not tell you that that family has not tastes of a very high order. It takes but little outlay of money and labor to have a nice cosy yard of neat shade trees, shrnbs, roses and flowers properly arranged to catch the eye of the passer by. (True.— En.) . There is no excuse for the farmer with his broad aores to set his yard about the house with fruit trees to the exclusion of onr more beantlful lawn trees. The rotten fruit In the yard and the foliage Is not such as to attract the eye of the more tasteful. For him who only thinks of the mighty dollar it may do. Your trees and shrubs should be so arranged as not to obscure your views of the landscapes around you. Trim them up well so that you may have light and air underneath the lower limbs; do not stick your trees and shrubs In at random. Arrange your yard by well defined Ideas. Tour trees should be suoh as have a good foilage and a dense top. The Norway and hard maple are two of our best lawn trees. The neat log house with the tastefully arranged yard catches the eye of the educated and refined man or woman more than the tall mansion standing on the barron knoll. It about oompares to a woman of nice stature with a fifteen-dollar hat on her head and a fifty-cent pair of brogans on her feet and a three-cent dress. Do not paint yonr honse black or. red or your trimmings in mournings. Do not put in large wooden posts around your yard and a light wire fence on them; don't put your chicken roost and smoke house in the front yard. Study your landscape before you build, and If you have buildings of ancient style, modify them with new windows and verandas and If there Is not natural landscape abont you call on some neighbor who has a neat tidy place to help yoa arrange yoars. Keep your walks and drives ln such a condition that you will not need rubber boots to get to your house and barn, have a nloe tidy garden near the house; don't make a chicken yard of it. Put In the hours that you have been spending at the village on your house and yard, and I assure you that your pleasure and reward will be greater and your children will regret to leave the old home, I. N. 0. Broad Ripple. Beautifying the home Is of greater im; portanoe than anything else about the farm; yet we go through the country and find that 49 farmers out of every 60 neglect lt. As we pass by our neighbors residenoe we exclaim, ''Isn't that a pretty yard," yet we don't heed the lesson taught; we let our yard go ratty when we ought to try to make some Improvement on our neighbor's yard and make oar's better and more attractive. When the yard has been nicely graded sow to blue grass; this should be done In the fall unless we have some way to irrigate it ln which case it may be sown any time during the summer. Now comes the chickens; a chicken lot without chickens in lt would look odd, but a house yard filled with ohlckens would look odd Indeed and lt is impossible to have a nice grassy yard if we allow the chickens to rnn on lt. Everyone should suit their taste about their yard fences. Some prefer iron, others wood. We have a picket fence made from yellow poplar sawed one inch and plained and painted white and the gate blue. Of course in re-painting anything about the house or yard we should use a different color. Let it be every year or every four years. It will make things look fresher and more pleasing. Some change may be made in the window and door facings and the cornice by painting them every two or three years, with but little coat. The yard gate looks best when placed directly in front of the door and the walk running straight from the door to the gate; walks may be made from sawed rook, brick or gravel. A juniper tree on each side of the walk and a flower bench loaded with nice flowers placed between the gate and door adds mnch to the beauty of the home. Flower benches and trees in the yard must be white washed or painted. A martin box or two will not only help to make home cheerful but the martins will keep the hawks away from the chickens. The hogs should not be fed and slopped from the yard. Do not let them come closer than 20 steps from the house, it will only be a little more trouble to feed them and not half so annoying. There is no yard complete without a hammock in the summer time and any one can make one with 25 or 30 feet of rope. A grape arbor or some kind of shade trees such as maple, elm, etc., are also necessary in making the outer home pleasant and agreeable. A few flower shrubs and rose bushes add much to the beauty of the yard, but too many is as bad as not enough. N. B. Harrison Co. Beautifying the home." There is a great deal more in these three words than a great many of ns think, and how quick every member of the family would be in lending a helping hand to beautify the home if we farmers, or the head of any family, wonld only take more energy ln this direction. It is more pleasing for us to look upon and very quickly noticed by strangers passing by besides making the farm more valuable if we want to sell, for any one wanting to buy will notice all about the neatness. The dwelling should be kept well painted as It looks muoh better and also keeps out the rain and preserves the building, and paint ls cheaper than lumber.
