GARDENING MADE EASY. BY AN EXPERIENCED GARDENER THE BEGINNING OF A GARDEN. The making of a new garden requires skill, taste, patience, know ledge, and many other of the qualities that go to the formation of a masterpiece in any branch of art; yet. fortu- nately, there are some simple rules that will bring success if well observed. As the small, iong-shaped plot of ground is the one most usually seen behind villa residences, we will consider how to transform that into a minia- ture paradise. No doubt a lawn is desired, for even when the space is not sufficient for tennis or cro- quet to be played upon it, green, smooth turf ie delightful to behold. To sow it ie more econo- mical than to plant it, and one pound of seed is required for each fifty square yard<?. First the ground should be dug quite 1 Jft. deep, all weeds and large stones being removed, the surface made level by careful raking, and ren- dered firm by patient use of the roller. Next, the rake muot lightly rOu^i]pn the surface be. fore the set J 18 scattered as evenly as pos- sible. Finally, the seed hae to be raked in, or strewn over with fine soil cast by the hand, and black cottons should be stretched across and acroes the whole space, to scare the birds that settle upon the ground. Grass seed sow- ing may be done at any time between February and October, but if summer heat is great the hose must be used each evening just enough to moisten the earth without forming pools. In three weeks' time the young gr&Me ehould be cut by a scythe and rolled. This process may be repeated every tenth day, the mowing machine being substituted for the fcythe only when experiments prove that the new growth is not dragged up by it. What size shall the lawn be? Well, that must depend upon the dimensions of the garden, end whether vegetables are to be cultivated as much as flowers. In any case, it should occupy the width, except for a waved border and a path on either side. and ought to be situated near the back of the house, separated from this only by a walk, and those narrow beds against the walls that an needed to contain climbers. Beyond the lawn I like to see a straight path, well arched over, leading down the middle of the ground till it joins the horizontal walk at the end of the garden, beyond which is merely another border and the boundary fence or wall. Here is a chance for a novel feature. Let the straight path run right up to the wall, span it a: the border corners by a wooden arch, and a charming nook will re- sult, as shewn in Fig. 1. The borders may hold massed herbaceous plants, A marks the site of a climbing Gloire de Dijon Ro&e. B of a small-leaved Ampelopsis, C shews where chairs may be set, or a seat permanently placed. Against the two sides of the arch I would have yellow winter Jasmine, a Crim- son Rambler, and a Japanese Honeysuckle: when these are grown jip their long branches can be tied across to the wall so as to make a roofing, and the arch will be transformed into an arbour. The ground space between the lawn and the intersecting paths can be planted in various ways, as kitchen garden, with flowers for edgings. as a rosery, a dis- play of flowering shrubs and perennials, or an old-fashioned garden, with a sundial in the centre. I have advised waved bordem for the sides of the pleasure ground, because the vista view from the house windows will be much fairer than if straight edges only could be leen. Fig. 2 shews how graceful an effect can be obtained. If the borders can be out- lined by a strip of foot-wide grass, laid down at once in turvee, a charming appearance is certain neat tiles can be employed instead, but box edgings are best avoided. One word as to arches for the straight walk. They can be cheaply made of deal, painted FIG. 2. -BORDER WITH TURF EDGB. a dull olive green, or may be cf Bam- boo, or mere wire netting; climbers will soon cover the structures. Beds in the lawn should not be numerous; indeed, I would prefer one good-sized star bed at the right-hand corner near the house, and one ervsoent-ohaped one at the opposite corner, these to be kept pretty by a succession of bulbous and bedding plants and tiny variegated evergreen shrubs for winter. At the other lawn corners might [ be a rockery mound on the right, and some charming tree, such as an Almond or La- burnum, on the left, with a Pansy covering to the soil around. If, as sometimes must happen, one border ia a very shady one, the garden-owner need not treat it contemptuously. Primroses, Poly- anthuses, Foxgloves, Japanese and Woodland Anemones, Phloxes of ever}- gay hue, German Iris. Vincas major and minor, Hypericums, Violets, Lilies-of-the-Valley, Peonies, Day Violets, Lilies-of-the-Valley, Peonies, Day Lilies, Aquilegiaa, Sweet Woodruff, and Creeping Jenny will flourish there. Plenty of the glossy green Hart's tongue Fern and the elegant Spirsea Japonica will cileo rejoice the beholder. Perhape it will be wise to make edgings of rookery to the narrow borders against the house, for the nooks among the atones will be fit for Arabia, Aubrietia, Scdums, Polyanthuses, Viokl Cornuta, Alpine Phloxes, Dwarf Antirrhinums, Iceland Pop- pies, and innumerable other little beauties. pies, and innumerable other little beauties. Yee, the making of a successful small gar- den is not difficult. 'Overcrowding must be I' avoided beds must not be so larg2 or borders so wide as to be out of keepii-g with the whole. Every inch must be tidily cultivated, of course, no spot left unsightly. Shade must be provided where seats are set. and the tallest plants, such 2.8 Hollyhocks and Giant Sunflowers, should be almost avoided. There j need be no lack of blossoms, for the dainty J Alpines can be pressed into service to carpet J every inch of soil. Window-boxes may appear j at the back of the house as well as the front, j and ornamental urns at the doorstep will be worthy of the beet bedding plants. Before worthy of the beet bedding plants.

---------FLOWER BEDS: HOW…
FLOWER BEDS: HOW TO PLANT THEM. The shape of flower-beds may not be ver; striking or original; but no matter—wonder fully new effects can be gained by plantinc ihem quaintly, or by using unfamiliar flower ing and foliage subjects. In all probability there will be a square bed somewhere in lh( garden if so, let it. be accurately marked out as shewn in Fig. 1, just with a centre round, and the remaining space divided into four. It presents a novel appearance already, does it not? One word as to pegging out a bed First, the centre 6pot shonld be found by measuring then all the lines can be drawn from that, and inaccuracy will be impossible. A sufficient number of white pegs will define even elabo- rate patterns in carpet bedding. The bed of national colours is always a popular one, I especially pleasing in a front garden, so iu the design given the space A can be filled I with scarlet Zonal Pelargoniums, double or single, with dwarf blue Cornflowers at B, golden Pyrethrum Aureum at C, goldor. I Violas at D, and white Candytuft at E. or a firill more prononneed red-white-and-Hi^ Stiow will result from omitting the gold, aiii having Cornflowers at B and E and Candy- tuft at C aud D. I This is a charming plan to carry out ui more costly plants; if Coleusee are used massed at A, rose double Begonias at B. cream Begonias at C, white Begonias at D, ( and crimson Begonias at E, the gardener will have aciple excuse for pride. It is possible to further elaborate this design by planting I -oliag« subjects where the lines are marked a I FIG. 1. SQUARE FLOWWR BED. ring of Chilian Beet, and straight rows of Pyrethrum Aureum will elegantly map out the whole. For instance At A might b-ri rich orange African Marigolds. violet Stocks at B, cream Stocks at C. cream Asters at D, and violet Asters at E. There could also be added an edging of the Pyrethrum all round. Fig. 2 has an elaborate appearance, but k Eerfectly simple to peg out, and what a num er of different plants can be used in it, or, better still, different varieties of the 6amc plant. I designed this bed to shew off a eollec tion of named Violas, the colours of which were arranged thus: A. Black. M. Lavender. B. Purple. N. Violet. c. Mauve. o. Pale-green Foliage. D. Lilac. P. Bronze Fotiape. E. White. Q. Blue-shaded Whitfe F. Cream. B. Gold Foliage. G. Lemon. S. Pale Blue. II. Gold. T. Deep Blue. L Silver Foliasre. u. White Foliage. j. Crimson Foliage. Y. Indigo Blue. K. Blush, w. Dark-green Foliage, L. Rose. x. Bright-red Foliage. The effect was lovely in the extreme. may be as well to mention that the folin subjects were varieties of Thymus. Ceraetiu ,Meo,embryantliemuni, Chilian Beet, (dwa Pyrethrum Aureum, and Irceine. This b could be admirably carried out in dwnrJ Nasturtium*. it win esijiv be recognised, on inspecting the figuw, that the design could dispense with such a immber of different A, B, G; and H might be scarlet, C, 12.

ROUKD FI-OWER BED. effectively planting them. Every pleasure ground, no matter now small, should display some novelty, and there is no easier way to achieve this than by choosing 6ome unfamiliar flower to fill a bed. How excited blossom- lovers were when the eornfiower-blue Phace- lia Campanularia was introduced to favour! Well. I doubt if Delphinium "Blue Butter- fly is yet well enough known to escape being as enthusiastically admired. It is an exquisite annual. Another plant I can recommend is Lupinua Menziesii, all deep gold and orange, eighteen inches tall; the bright rosy crimson and white Lupinus Hybridus Albo-coccineus is •also beautiful: even Eschsc-holtzia Erecta, Rose Queen, which can be sown where wanted, and will foon blossom, is bound to attract attention; its colour is a rich pink. I suppose we can all remember gardens in ..hich the beds that have charmed us most hovt been the simplest. There ie, indeed, nothing much lovelier than a mass of snowy white Verbenas, or of Cream or" Peach" Stocks. There are many greenhouse plants that will thrive in the beds; Palms may be sunk in their pots, the lattor quite hidden beneath the earth, of course. So may the useful Aspidistras that have adorned the rooms all winter; indeed, they will benefit by the fresh air and rain-washing. I am annually aasur-M* that the Geranium, or, more properly speak ing, the Zonal Pelargonium, is hopelessly out of fashion. All I know is that the dear old Cloth of Gold and Mrs. Pollock shall always be honoured in my garden. The scented-leaved Geraniums are almost the best foliage plants we have, and how gratefully we gather their sprays for tlx- vases. If there is a prominent round bed on the lawn, a pleasing filling for it will consist of bushes of the tiny pink Rose named Mignon- ette, which can be kept down to eighteen inches in height, and will be a mass of blos- som until winter. The Mignonette bed is a popular if nut showy feature its deficiency may be remedied by setting crimson Salpi- glossis, or tall blue Cornflowers, at twelve- inch intervals all over it. If there are several beds upon a lawn, the gardener must avoid juxtaposing colours that clash; rather let juxtaposing colours that clash; rather let nim fill one bed all with white flowers, or with a mixture of foliage plants, that are generpJly of artistically subdued tints. And is work at an end when the beds are all filanted? Ah, no! Weeds should never grow arge enough to be observed, and unless seed- pods are removed in their babyhood the poor parents will cease to blossom; strong gales will oblige new staking and tying, and some- times a plant from greenhouse or seed-beds must replace one that a wireworm or other enemy has destroyed. All this labour is pleasant, though, to tii,,e grower who loves his flowers.
ITHE PENYCROES TRAP( 'ACCIDENT.¡
I THE PENYCROES TRAP ( ACCIDENT. ¡ THE INQUEST. THE CORONER AND SUPERVISION OF CARS. Mr O. Robyns Owen, South Carnarvon- shire L-oroner, held an inquest, on Thurs- I day, at Nantlle, touching the death of Mrs I Hannah Williams and Miss Gwen Edwards, whu were killed on Bank Holiday,as the result of a brake accident just outside Penygroes. The first w itness was Miss Jane Edwards, lister of Miss Edwards. She said that on Bank Holiday they net out an a waggonette driven by Lewis Jones for Dinas Dinlle. driven by Lewis Jones for Dinas Dinlle. All went well until they reached the Allt Gocli, when she heard the driver call out to the- horsf to stop. She did not anticipate danger, but as a precaution she opened the I door, and tried to step down. She fell, however, face forward, and when she again I looked up, the driver was on the floor, while the car had gone forward, and was din- appearing from view. accordingly, she ran after it. but she had not "e far before ■ 9" • j she came to Mrs TUoftia-S lyiUg fftCC dowh- ( wards on the road. A little further on she came across Hannah Williams, lying face downwards also, and afterwards she came acro«ss her sister. There would be about thirty yards between the ladies, and she did not go farther on when she found her sifter, who died soon after being taken home. Bella Willfiams said she was also a pas- senger with the ear on the day in question. She noticed something in the norse's mouth breaking, and the horse eventually got be- yond control. Lewis Jones, the driver, then tried to get to the horses, but he fell I in doing so. Mrs Thomas, Mrs Williams, and Gwen Edwards then jumped out in succession, but although she saw them later on on the road she wa, too upset to say who they were, or how they exactly jumped down. Jam; Jones, the wife of the driver, said that the brakes, when applied, acted all right. Humphrey Jones, chemist, Penygroes, described the scene on the road. The driver said to him "I have broken my leg, but do not stay with me the three others who are lower down the road are hurt more." Dr Owen said that, when he visited the spot, Mrs Hannah Williams was lying in a dying condition on the road. She was suffering from a ?racture<rskull; but, an any case. she would have bled to death. Miss Edwards's injuries were practically the same. The driver was a perfectly sober man, but all his life he had been a parti- cularly unfortunate man for receiving per- sonal injuries, his left leg having been broken once before. The horse's broken hit showed it had once been repaired by means of common solder. I In reply to Superindent Griffith, witness said there was no sUpervison of carriages I! or harness in the district. D. S. Davidson, veterinary surgeon, Car- narvon, said that about half-past one he and hi- groom were driving, when they met the I horse coming towards them at a sharp canter. A woman on the box was shouting I and screaming. Parry, his groom, jumped for the horse's head, and ran for about 100 yards before getting control of the animal. Later on they found the three ladies and j the driver on the road, Mrs Hannah Wil- lianas being dead. The Coroner paid a c-onipliment to the j witness for the pluck and courage which he, and particularly the grcom, Tom Parry, had shown in averting what might have proved a far more serious disaster. The groom had also exhibited considerable ability in stopping the horse, and he hoped that their appreciation would be conveyed I' to hiin. At this junctiuv, the Coroner intimated that the inquest would have to be shifted to Talvsarn, owing to the fact that the in- jured driver was lying there. A-coord-ingly, the jury afterwards assembled in a^bedroom, where the driver was questioned by the Coroner with refeience to the accident, and by Superintendent Griffith as to the broken bit. He said that it was never broken until Bank Holidiv, but it had got worn, a,nd lie had it soldered a few weeks ago by a. plumber. He himself did not think its condition v.&.s da.ngeron/8. In summing, up, the Coroner said it wa,3 unfortunate that the bit was not suitable for such a horse, but t)-,it was the only evi- dence of proper car2 not having been exer- cised. Otherwise the hor&e CIOutd have I been stopped. It was also a pity that, in the public interest, more care and super- vision was not exercised over carriages, horses, tiarness, and the loads taken. A verdict of "Accidental death through the bit breaking" was returned, and the jury added a rider embodying the Coroner's suggestions.
-----A WELSH COLLECE FARM.
A WELSH COLLECE FARM. AGRICULTURISTS' VISIT TO MADRYN At the invitation of Professor Winter, on Monday and on Tuesday a number of Welsh agriculturists visitor Madryn, the farm at Aber, which is maintained by the University College of North Wales. They were shown oer the stock yards and the fields in which experimental crops are being raised. The Agricultural Department of the College makti a str ing point at Mariryn or their stock. Shire horses are raised] and Welsh sheep and cattle. That the titock at Madryn is excellent is testified by the numerous prizes won at the principal shows in the last few years. At the We;sh National Show la.st week six first prizes v, ore tecurcd as well as a gold medal, six ^econ^ prizes, and a third The exhibition at the shows i8 intended to bring the breeds to the notice of the Welsh farmers and induce them to follow the Col- lege example. This, notwithstanding the prizes won, co,ts a cansi<lerabl amount, for show stock is not profitable unless it can be i:o!d at hig,h prices.
FOREIGN TRADE IN WELSH STOCK.
FOREIGN TRADE IN WELSH STOCK. Up to the present the Welsh breeds have not secured a forcegn trade, but. the pro- sports. arc decide v encouraging, and the breeders of Welsh cattle and f,beep look for- ward to receiving a good share of foreign support in due time. Dr Nobbs, a Govern- ment official of Rhodesia, for instance, ment official of Rhodesia, for instance, v:a:ted Madryn recently to sec whether the j hardy W ol-sh cattle would .not be suitable for } Ksia as a means of "grading* up" the native- cattle. There is .also inquiry for Welsh rams for the United States. As the | YVeJ.™h cattle and nhorp. therefore, become better known it is hoped that the foreign trade will compensate breeders for the extra. trouble and expense involved. The animals which have been exhibited during the pre- f-cnt year were brought out for the insfpection of the visitors on Monday and Tuesday, nnd were much admired.
; FIELD EXPERIMENTS.
FIELD EXPERIMENTS. Among the field experiments now proceed ing at Matdrvn are several begun last year and the year before; these in the propor- tions of grumes, for instance. Professor Winter showed o-ats which are being grown from seed obtained from different parts of Great Britain, eontimri^g a. tesC which be started several yeJIH ago. There is ail im- pression that better oat crops can be raised from seed fetched from a distance. In this cr.ca the esed came from es far south as Berkshire, and as far north as Aberdeen. In previous years the results from seeds grown at Madryn have not. been considered inferior to these brought from other parts of the country, and this year the appearance of the plots seems to confirm that judgment. "I am inclined to think." said Professor Winter, "that it is not very necessary in the ease of the oat crop to go elsewhere for seed, provided you have good seed at home, well grown, well harvested, and well dressed." In rega-rj to potatoes, however, the chang- ing of the f-eed is piv.verT by experiment to be desirable. Not only is great benefit de- rived from the change, but it seems that the best crops accrue from seed grown in the North. So far. the most promising plants are those raised from tubers promising plants are these raised from tubers coming froar the North of Scotland The PFbfcssor said the supposition AMO.S that tubers grown in the North Country do not mature to the same extent as thotse produced in the warmer South. The maturing is emainly in the formation of a greater proportion of starch, which does not seem to give the plants the energy possesses by less ripeneet tubers. Whatever the reason, the experiment tuds to prove that farm erf-, would do well not to go South for their potato seeds. Some day Mr Wiatct will try eeeds grown on the neighbouring mountain. Aj" int-ereotrhg £ x)>eiimeni in the mauring of potatoes is going on, nine plots having been sown in land manured with various combinations of farmyard and artificial fer- tilisers. Just now the tops are nearing full growth, and not so much difference appears between the plots, one of the most striking of wlich, however, is that on which arti- fieial manure alone was used. The spraying of potatoes with copper sulphate andl wash- ing soda is again shown to give vigour to the crops. It checks disease, nnd, furthermore, aetfJ as a decided tonic to the plants, being absorded through the leaves. At Madryn in recent years spraying has resulted, on the a\ erage, in an increased yield of from 30cwt. to two tons per acre.

Last night I had another letter from him stating that. to all appearances -rM tite disease had L«ft him, and he was in his M.sual health again. J » Having accidentally heard that a man living in the same neighbourhood had been« J great sufferer from Piles for over twenty years, my son sought him out, told him of 1 the good he bad received from your Pills, I mid gave him half of the box he had. Within I four days the man was jumping with joy from r I t the good effects of your Pilla. liaving received so much benefit personally, nnd witnessing their good effects on the mon referred to, my son is very anxious that other sufferers may know and receive the eime benefit from them as he did himself.
