Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 240, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 12 October 1918 — Landscape Gardener Needed. [ARTICLE]

Landscape Gardener Needed.

There is agitation in many cities for public landscape gardener to co-oper-ate with the county surveyors in setting out trees and shrubbery, laying out fertile gardens, giving Information to gardeners and tree growers, fighting Insects, securing black dirt, forest mold, fertilizer and good seeds. The average yard is a jumbled-up mess. A shade tree is often stuck in the center of the back yard. This ruins all prospects for a vegetable garden. Fruit trees should be given at least the back yard in preference to the front yard. People don’t know just what they want when they do lay out the back yard; hence they ought to have the services of a public landscape gardener. The side and front yard is even worse.
