I 50, the woman desired to transport her sewing to Honolulu. A young man in the backwoods of Maine offered to travel 5000 miles to Hawaii to in- struct the residents in higher educa- on. A girl in California referred to the spell that the Hawailan moon has cast over her and wondered whether she couldn’t help out some business man by doing “just 2 little typing.” “Some of the letters show that the writers have at least a little knowl- edge about the islands” Mrs. Stone said. “Others are just as farfetched as that written recently by a man in @ small Virginia town. He wanted to know whether there were any nice, warm tropical islands for sale in this vicinity. I answered that_he could find, without, any trouble, 2 real es- tate firm that would sell him part of this very island, but doubted whether ¥ he could even obtain a lease on all of 1t 1,000 Brides in England. Another incident illustrating the lure of the tropics concerned a letter -that some friends of an army enlist- ed man stationed here wrote to a newspaper in Portsmouth, England. ! signing the private's name without his knowledge. “This is more or less a lonely life for a fellow in Honolulu, as white ‘women are scarce,” the joking letter read. More than 1,000 women in England have written thus far, bffering to marry the man, he said, recently. The ‘women range in age from fourteen to forty, but all have felt the urge of the south seas. The letters are so numerous that postal authorities in San Francisco tie them in bundles of no further knowledge than to know that a plant is an evergreen. It is perhaps for this reason that one Sees the common spruce being used in a hit-or-miss fashion. The desire 0st available was used. The spruce is one of our most beautiful trees, but it is a northern evergreen not adapted to the heat among bulidings or for crowding with other ever- greens. If an open free growth is wanted. the hemlock is one of the best. It is very free from the usual pests. Or it an be clipped for formal well to select evergreens for their individual enjoyment, but the composition as a whole—that is, the relation of one plant to another and they with their surroundings—is of attract attention to one individual plant to the elimination of all others. Generally speaking, it is more desir- able in an evergreen planting to keep to a few varieties than to have a collection where every type of evergreen is represented. The plant- ing in such a case does mnot look restful, but appears to be a struggle for existence between each individual plant. Those plants that grow rapidly will smother out the slow growing ones. 1 Selection of varieties of evergreens is often a matter that depends upon the effect desired. The native Vir- ginia cedar is an evergreen that can be used in a great many Ways very effectively. The different varieties of arborvitae and retinospora are also good evergreens to use, the latter being somewhat similar to an arborvitae, but has a number of di was for an evergreen, and the one! more importance.
