iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim A Note From “The Hoe.” ;

The Bamboos

As shaking of tall-growing plants is a necessary precaution against the 'vagaries of wind in most New Zealand gardens, a clump of bamboo i , should be included in every plantingscheme. But bamboo should also be grown for . its own sake. The tall, graceful stems impart a tropical appearance to the garden, and as a background to a pool or stream the bamboo has few rivals. It thrives in moist conditions, its one great objection being dry conditions at the roots. There are over 300 species of bamboo, and many gardeners are now making collections. The late Mr. Allison, of Wanganui, had one of the most varied collections in New Zealand, the varieties ranging from a form of gracilis, a very thin, grace-, ful type, to the thick-stemmed, black bamboo, but the average gardener does not need more than three varieties. In ordering plants from a nurseryman, insist on the nonsuckering varieties, otherwise' the rapidity of growth will prove troublesome. 'There is a tropical bamboo which grows as much 'as twenty • inches in ten hours, but not under New Zealand conditions. In other days it provided,the Chinese with., a simple means of torture. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiii
