PLANTING AND LAXDSCA IM: (i A 1; I >1:M N < â 7'.' public parks and buildings, the aljatonicntof snioki* and billlioard nuisances, conservation of llic natural beauties of forest, moun- tain, waterfall, woodland, s[)ring, glen, grge, and ciinyou â for these real values to the whole people of a l)eautiful America. The appearance of a country, especially of its Ikmhc^. ailords the best index of the char- acter of a people. Some homes express taste, re- finement, good sense, and morals which warm the heart of the passer-by with a friendly feeling for those who dwell within. Some express pride and repel with ostentatious display of wealth. Alanv are mere nuuldles, accidents, com- mercial affairs of the nur- seryman.
