The Passing Show, London. Out of Town Correspondent Sends Some Notes on Full Work Winter h the time when the gardener is apt to lose interest in the surroupdings of his. home, says a Terrace rancher. With the coming of autumn the flowers fade and the plants wither. Deud leaves need to be cut away and a gene'ral tidying up udnertaken. Roses and other shrubs need mulching and otherwise protecting from the severity of winter weather. When this work is completed, ihe garden presents a 'tidy but drab appearance, usually with no spot of color to relieve the dead, moontenous outlook. The gardener then settles down to look forward to the hops inspiring seed catalogues and the first green shoot that tells of the passing of winter. In spite of this, the gardener has an inner longing for color. It finds its expression at the Christ-mns season in the gaily decorated homes, where red in the form of artificial poinsettas and other decorations is often a predomin ating note. Mother Nature has placed at jhe disposal of the gardener this same color to lend a splash of color to the otherwise dead garden. Most trees and shrubs present a brown or grey look to the view, but a few trees and shrubs are robed in a lively red. The common wild rose can be found with a scarlet look. The native maple has its young growth colored u brilliant scarlet, while the Cor-nus Stolonlfera or Red Osier Dogwood has a bark of the same color. These shrubs, native of this section of the country, are hard and easily transplanted. Judicially placed in the gardei: they bring to' the onlooker thi feeling that life and color still exist in the garden even when winter has the world In his icy ffrip.
