GREEN BEAUTY

            There is one form of beauty which every householder in Cranbrook and East Kootenay ought to try and provide for the adornment of his home place, the improvement of his neighborhood, and the general attractiveness of his home city.  And that is a smooth, well mowed and well cared for lawn.  Such a piece of green grass around a man’s house is a delight to the eye of the owner, the neighbors and all who pass through the street.  Homes thus adorned are worth more money, and they help a town or neighborhood to give an impression of finer culture and standards.  To accomplish this end calls for regular mowing, fertilizing in most places, rooting out the weeds, and watering in some seasons.  All of which is good and healthful work.  Many men who do not care to hire it done are better off physically for this contact with the grass roots.  Should a person desire this work to be done by experienced men, they are to be had for the hiring.
