At a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Dr. Bowen proceeded to make some suggestions for the improvement of country homes. The first is, that the expenditure of money does not always bring a return in true beauty. He knew of one lawn which is dull, flat and uninteresting, though it has absorbed money enough to have made an earthly paradise of every other place in the village, had it been expended with good judgment. This is well worth remembering by those who desire nice grounds.
