Many people Boom to have a curi ous belief t]uvt the spring is tito only natural planting time. Per haps this is ' because it is in tho spring that nature appears to bo most busily at work. Tho truth of thu matter is, though, that a groat deal of planting is done tn thc fall under natural conditions, tho seeds which drop thou germinating and spring ing into lifo boforo ?lie coming of cold Weather. Experience has shown that tills is ono of tho best seasons of tho year for tho amateur and the home maker to set out trees and shrubs in order to en lum cc the beauty of tho home. For ono thing, work presses less heavily In tho K\ltumh, There are fewer things to do in the dower and vegetable gar dens, with the result that moro timo is loft to devote to Ibo care of tho troes and shrubbery, without, which no suburban or country homo is complete. Then, too, tho nursery men thomselves are loss rushed in tho fall and aro able to glvo more careful attention to tho orders which they recoivo. All things considered, therefore, thoro is no better time to .set out ornamental trees and shrubs, as well as raspberries, blackberries and currants, and many of the fruit trees. There aro some exceptions, how ever, to tho treCB and shrubs which aro suitable for fall planting, and lt ls only fair that these should be mentioned. .Most of the trees which bavo stone frails, such as ll|l Odible and ornamental peaches and cher ries, aro better loft until spring In tho colder sections of the country, al thou h they are planted to some ex tent tn the fall. There aro trees, loo, which have soft, fleshy roots, suclt as for example tho magnolias, and lt is best not to plant them at this season. The average nursey man will bo frank to toll you which trees are not suitable for setting out now. as reliable nurseymon, being good business men with reputations nt stake, aim above all things to satisfy clients. They know that If they mislead them, their business will go to somebody else, and it never pays to make one sale at the sacrifice of many others which might have como later. When shrubs and trees are sot out in tho fall, they make growth quick ly in the spring and often are much farther along at the end of the sea son than when plnntlng ls left until the spring months. It is particular ly so if the spring planting is a late one, so that planting has to be delayed until the season ls well along. One other point in favor of fall planting might be mentioned, although it applies oven more especi ally to perennial plants. At this timo the garden maker has a lively recollection of the appearance which f .the different plants have mada when jr, M?-r ind l Mu foro ch OOH?! those which Itu ?? oiild like tor his "V, ji gardoii iViueh i>,.>!?.. iii; tclllgeully than four >. live ?m?hths from )iow, Abeu his rouicmbranoi nf the pas{ sb in * * i -, .. i lonc.es will hnvo become dulled. Some writers have asserted that tho fall is not a good time to sot ont evergreens, but on the other hand, some of tho most expert nur serymen and gardeners declare that tho results are fully as good, if no! better, when such plants are set ont In the fall than If they are not put in until late in the spring. In a year Uko this, which has been not able in many sections for its heavy rainfall, the planting of evergreens can be done with perfect safety. In sensons of drought no plants, for that matter, can be put in with as surance that they will grow unless . largo amount of moisture is ap p led artificially. Thero ls one thing to remember, though, In the planting of evergreens, whether in tho fall or at any other season, which ls that tho ball of earth around tho roots must bo preserved. Every up to-date nursoyman Js fully aware of this fact and uses tho greatest pre cautions to have this ball intact. It is for that reason that evergreens are almost always received with burlap fastened securely around tho roots. Ono reason why so much difficulty is found in transplanting evergreens of any kind from the woods or tho fields to tho garden is becauso of tho damage which fs unavoidably done to tho root system. Plants growing wild make very long roots which must be broken off In getting them out of the ground. Nursery planted stock, on the other linnd, is shifted so often that the roots are short and made In a solid mass close lo tho base of the plant. This great ly facilitates transplanting without giving the trees or shrubs a set back, and is tho principal reason why nursery grown slock is far pre ferable to thal which is found grow ing wild. Tho groat advantage of evergreens conies in tho fact that they retain their beauly all the year round.

Homo milkers aro coming to realizo more than ovor that the garden and home grounds should bo interesting and altractive in tho winter months ns well as in the summer, so that tiley are disposed to select at least a few trees and shrubs which will serve this purpose. They Uko ever greens for midwinter and trees and shrubs which have handsome foliage in tho fall lo ornament tho grounds during Hie autumn months. An evergreen hodgo adds much to tho appearance of any plot. In choos ing hedge plants there are several things to be considered, one of them being the winter aspoct. Among tho materials suitable for evergreen hedges, the hemlock is one of the best, but white pino and arborvitae are also in favor. One of the very finest shrubs for inakjirig an all year hedge is the Japanese Yew, Taxus cuspilata, but unfortun.-.tely it is a little high in price as yet, as the stock is not very plentiful. lt ls not necessary, though, to have evergreen plants in order that a hedge may be beautiful all through the winter. The Japanese barberry when well established carries great quantities ol* brilliant rod berries and bolds them until growth sturts in tlie fall. Because of this and its other advantages this barberry is ono of tho very best hedge plants which can be used, especially for surburban homes where a tall hedge ls not needed. Perhaps il should he said that this plant, which was in troduced by the Arnold Arboretum in Boston many years ago does not harbor wheat rust like the so-cailed common berberry, and therefore can be planted safely in any part of tho country. Tho com mon barberry has become an out law, especially In wheat growing sections, and should not be planted under any circumstances, although it is ornamental and bardy. If you should go into a well ar ranged garden at this season, you would !'??iicr'!*. find a number of pt which uro Just ri3 ??aullful [ii, jYult ;?.". ihoy worn In (lowor.

Then there are Cotonoasters. several species of which have very handsome red berries, and are among the best of the newer shrubs. Several of the native Viburnums hiive pretty berries, and of course the High Hush Cranberry, which is really a Viburnum, bas come to be a common occupant of gardens, be ing treasured particularly for Its bright red fruit. Most people know the YVinterberry, with its handsome white fruit borne early in Ibo fall, but aro less familiar with its near relative, the Coralberry. This ls ono of tho best of our native plants for garden decoration, its pink fruit being carried for a long time and proving most decorative. This shrub should bo used more often than it is. Among the handsomest of all shrubs for the fall is thc Euony mus bungeanus. The plants are covered with little red fruit hanging from pink capsules, and thc effect at a distance ls so unusual that peo ple who see lt for the first time often suppose that the plant is really In bloom. Even after very cold weather comes you may still have color In the garden by using the dogwoods which have brightly colored wood, either red or yellow. Of course this ls touching only lightly on the various shrubs and trees which may be set out now, and includes some of the newer species with which tho public is not very familiar and yet which deserve a good place in gardens everywhere. lt would be a good thing for general results If home makers would study their catalogs and Introduce enough new things to break up the monotony so often found in countryside plant ing. The old fashioned Weigela, for instance, is handsome enough, but Ibo red dowered Eva Hat like is a great Improvement. it is difficult to lind a sweeter shrub than tho old time syringe. Yet there are newer sorts which ure very much hand somer, with their large, milk-white blossoms, even though they lack the fragrance of tho moen orange. So with tho lilacs. There aro dozens of new varieties as well as somo species from China which are woll worth planting, Among the latter is Syringe vlllosa, which ls valuable becauso lt blooms later than all thc common lilacs and thus prolongs the season. When you buy lilacs If you insist upon having them grown on their own roots Instead of hoing budded on some other stock, you will probably escape somo trou ble. There ls no reason why roses should nol be set out now, although lt ls often wiso to have tho beds made up somewhat In advance of planting time. Tho hybrid per petuals and in most sections the hy brid teas may be set out safely now. Of course the tea roses are not bardy in the northern sections, In any event. Rosa rugosa, which makes a splendid hedge, especially at the seashore, and tho magnificent Con rad Ferdinand Meyer, which is un surpassed for a flowering hedge any where, can go in now as well as in the spring. When planting garden coses, take plenty of time, however, and do the job well or you will be dissatisfied with the results. Dig the ground deeply and use an abund ance of rotted cow manure undor the plants if you can get lt. A little limo, soot or old plaster ls of value in making a roso bed. After the plants have been set out, elevate the bod two or three inches, for lt will certainly settle more or less. .Most plants sot out in tho fall need a little protection, and thib is par ticularly true of roses. One of tho best methods >vith roses Is to bank thom at least a foot high with earth. If you can throw some manure or litter over tho earth after the ground freezes, so much the better. This plan will prevent any heaving of tho ground and will koop the roses from being frozen back too far. With all shrubs you will And lt advisable to scatter several Inches of Hitor around the base late in the season. Remember, though, with nil winter protection, whether for shrubH or perennial plants, the pur pose to accomplish is not to prevent tho cold from getting into the ground, but to prevent the alternate freezing and thawing which exposes the roots to the drying winds and is almost certain to result in a loss. $100 Reward, $100 The reade? of this paper will be pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that aelence has been able to cure In all tts stages and that ls catarrh.

More Surplus Supplies Held by Gov ernment May be Released. Washington, Oct. 17.-Attorney General Palmer and his official as sociates in the fight on the high cost of living determined to-day to en list Hie aid of the women of America.

Another important decision taken at to-day's meeting was to release more surplus supplies held by the government, If it cnn be done with out embarrassment to the depart ments involved. Secretary Daniels reported that ho hod sugar enough to run tho navy six months, but be foro he released any of it wanted to be assured of ample replacements. Co-operation of Housewives. Co-operation of tho housewives has been tho subject of extended conferences between H. E. Figg, of the Department of Justice, and Mrs. Edward F.

As a result speakers will be put soon In every State to carry the mes sage that one way to beat tho prof iteers is to ignore propaganda say ing that prices are certain to go higher, and walt for the decline which, officials say. is Inevitable, ihese speakers will be armed with facts and ligures gathered by the council of the national defense in Its war work and showing produc tion cost in virtually every industry Igi the country. l'aimer Makes Report.
