. Popular gardening and fruit growing; An illustrated periodical devoted to horticulture in all its branches. PACKING HOUSE iP<3. TASTE AND TACT IN ARRANGING upper plan shows a nurserymans home pounds; the lower onethe same with certain improvements suggested as follows: 1, mainentrance; 2, front and side home lawn; 3, center lawn; 4, main lawn:5, vine walk, with shrub or rockery screen towards street: 6, grove ofornamental trees; 7, mixed flower borders; 8, specimen fruit plat;9,shrubbery walk; 10, walk piercing hedge and leading to fruit plat;II, rockery at ends of border; 12, summer flower beds; 13, masses olevergreens; 1-1, climbers at piazzas. Again to have the front yard divided by astraight walk through its centor, and theneach division centrally occupied by a roundflower bed, is not nearly as pleasing to theeye, as to have the plat or plats unoccupiedat the center. Let it be laid down as a fund-amental principle in all good gardening, towhich there are very few exceptions, thatfor the best appearance, the centers of alllawn areas should be kept clear of walks orother features besides grass.
