Address 0n Rural Beautification By Col. Johnstono
The following address on Rural Beautification was given st last week's annual convention of the P. E. I. Women's Institute by Lt.- Colonel E. W. Jbhnstone, of Long River, president of the Rural Beautification Society:
"1 feel that it is a privilege in- deed for me to come here today to speak to you in the interest of Rural Beautification. If Rum Beautification is to meet wit success, I realize that it will b largely through your co-operation as s society and se individuals.
"While organized beautification is a. new thing on P. E. I. or even in canada. it is as old as history itself. We reed of the wonders of the gsrclms of Babylon and we know that the ancient Greeks were very fond of beautifying their homes, and later the Romans took up the work and built gar- dens some of which are still in ex- istence. At the decline of the Roman Empire, beautification tell on evil times and for centuries gardening in Europe existed only in the monasteries and court- yards of castles.
"As the world became more civ- ilized and wars became less fre- quent there gradually emerged from the dark ages three distinct styles of plans of landscape archi, tecture known as the English. French and Italian styles and to e. lesser degree the German. Dutch and sponish. We in Canada have no distinct style of landscape architecture: ours is a combina- tion of all the different plans.
"We have prepared a model of

“You will notice that the centre of the grounds are open ivlth the trees, flowers. etc., being kept to the borders. This is Entliish style. We have kept away from the Italian style of using furni- ture. such as erns. arches, benches, seats and such like. as thev are often overdone. When lawn furni- ture is used, great care should be used in the placing of it.

“At least two enterles are neo- essary to a farm home. Here in our model you will notice that n one comes In around the house while the other goes directly to the barn. To the north is a storm fence; behind this fer-ice would be a suitable place for ‘he wood-pile. Space does not permit to show the grove or shelter belt: this of course would be to the north and possibly to the east and west of the buildings.

"We can get along without, flowers or even a. lawn but a. home without trees can never be nt- tractlve. If we could see trees through the eyes of the poet who said, “I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree," we would plant more trees and give them more attention.
"There are four main uses for trees: l. Beautification of the home and the framing of it, p, Screening of unsightly objeatg, 3, Shade. 4. Shelter.
"If shelter is desired in e short time. the best fast-growing trees are Poplers, Pine. Ash, Willows and Spruce. These could also be used for screening purposes.
"For shade and beautification there are so many suitable trees. it may be difficult for some peo- ple to make s. choice. Don't buy trees from the description in n catalogue even if you are dealing with a reliable nursery as they cannot be expected to tell the weak points tn their stock, and again trees and shrubs suitable in southern Ontario may not prove to be satisfactory here, and buv- ing without being sure of the hardiness of the stock may prove costly in both time and money.
"According to the Ihrperlmentel Farm in Ottawa the beat all-round tree for eastern Canada is the luger maple. Perhaps that In
sing the Maple us! Forever. This does not mean that we have s monopoly for the maple tree as out of the ‘l0 varieties found in the world, we have only ten nat- ive to Canada. while Chins alone has 35 varieties. Care In Planting
“After selecting the trees we like and having decided where we are going to plant them, the next important point is careful planting.
"The first thing to do after digging a hole larger than the root system is to examine the roots and see that there are no oroken and damaged roots. If there are cut them off with a sharp knife in a clean. long cut. In this‘ way they will heal faster. Then prune out the top, taking the weaker wood and the long branches, thus giving the tree a more symetrleal appearance. Do not out off the top of the tree but take out about one-third of the wood as a rule, but this will de- pend on the condition of the sys- tem.
"Now place the tree in the hole with the longest roots pointing in the direction of the prevailing wind, then fill in the hole using good earth, shaking the tree gent- ly from side to side so as to make the earth settle in around the roots. Tramp hard and make sure there are no air pockets left. When planted the tree should be e. lit- tie lower in the ground than it was in the nursery of woods. There should be a slight depression around the tree to hold water. Now stake and. tie.
"More trees are lost from im- proper planting than from an!’ other cause. If the tree is tall
the lower branches up to B or 6 ft.

should be cut off, taking one to cut close to the trunk and not losve a stub.
"The most common mistake in planting trees and shrubs b planting too closely. No hard and fast rule can be laid down due to the feet that some trees will be quite nicely if planted 26 to l0 ft. apart. While others like the American Elm need 00 to 70 feet. due to their great height and spread of l0 ft. Avoid straight lines u possible. '
“Hedges add greatly to the ap- pearance of a home if taken care of properly. Improper pruning will ruin any hedge. Perhaps the most important thing in the care of a hedge is to see that the base is the widest part, otherwise the lower branches are liable to die giving the hedge an unsightly Up- pearance. curved hedges are more attractive than ones with straight linel.
"Some of the beet hedges for P. I. I. are: Barbury, common Lilac, Hungarian Lilac, English Privit. Cnragana. Spruce, Alder Buckthorn, and Cockspur Thorn.
"The proper placing of shrubs ean add charm to the well kept lawn. In this model we have only used a few around the house and in the corners."

“During the year your Executive hes studied rural Health Problems especially Infant Mortality and found conditions in our Province as well as in the rest of Canada. to be appalling.
