Hiph up in the White Mountains, on the morning; of .luly 2,'i. tennis players of both sexes will beizin competition in the twenty-ninth annual open tonmament for the New Hampshire State and "White M.uintains Championship. The Tonrnamenl, which is tinder the auspices of the I'nited States Lawn Tennis Association, will he played on the courts of the Crawford Notch Tennis Cluh. adjacent to the Crawford House, The beauty of a natural hack^iroiiiul of virgin forests has been fjiven a finishing touch by the planting of nearly 2000 plants and shrubs on the iminediale grounds of the Tennis (!liili and Crawford House,

Last year's winner of the men's singles was Mr. Walter !\I<>rrill Hall, former "first ten" player and now President of the Lniled .Slalfs Lawn Tennis Association. Names such as Mr. Hall's and other prominent players emphasize the fact that the tonrnamenl at Crawford Notch is not merely a social event for Whiti-Mountain visitors but a tournament of considerable importance on the tennis calendar.

ORIENT POINT

We recently came across the historical background of Orient Point, which is at ihe extreme end of the north shore of Long Island. The Orient Point Tnn. at the water's edge, dates back to 1682 when shipbuilding was the major industry of the country. At that time tlie finest residence was owned by the leading shipbuilder who naturally held the commanding position among the settlers. In 1785 this residence was taki-n over as an Inn anel enlarged to its present size from the wood of an al)andoned British fort nearby that had been used in local operations during tin-Revolutionary War.

In those early days there was constant water trafTic between Orimt I'liint and New England. Hoiu'v-mooners particularly woidd cross ihr. ." ound to spend a few days at Orient Point Inn. It became the favorite resort of many prominent peoph', .lames Fenimore Cooper, for exampli-, wrote his book "Sea Lions" while \isiliiig at the Inn and Walt Whitman sottght the restful almosphere of ihe Inn while working on his "Leavi-s of Grass".

The cargo schooners and sailing vessels which dotted the water-front

in a former day have been replaced by chugging motor boats and trim yachts. In spite of the change, there still clings to the region an atmos-pIiiMi- of ipiaintni ss which adds a peculiar attraction lo this part of Long Island.

BAR HARBOR

The Garden Clubs of .America will hidd their annual meeting July 11 and 12 on Mount Desert I.sland. Maini', with headquarters in Bar llarlior at the Malvern Hotel, An atleudance of approximately 600 is • •xprctrd and an elahoralc program has been arranged featuring an in-^Iicclion of the garrlens of promim-nt cottage owners at Bar Harbor, Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor, in-I Imiing the scenic drive to the summit <d Cadillac Mountain in Acadia Naliimal Park.

Maritime Tennis Week, commencing .Inly .'iO. will be considerably enlivened by the arrival of three Ameri-( an cruisers and two British cruisers. Their ofTicers will be lavishly entertained at a round of social functions in their honor.

CHILDREN'S RODEO

Yi's sir! That's what it is and though it wim't have all the events of an ailull rodeo (entries are limited to children of fourteen years and tinder), there will be plenty of action and not a h'w thrills—spills. The program consists almost entirely of riding events—some of them are bending races (around posts), pie races, burro and pony races, relay races, and so on. The children will go "Western" for the day. appearing in real cowboy outfits. Chaps or a ii'n-gallon hat will lie presented to the winner of this most extraordinary rodi'o.

of Lticlvvi!.; Gessncr's hril-i i , i n i l \ I r a i i i i - d Dohcr-111,1 uns. one of the most inlclliiicnl pcrfnrniers in the history of his breed

ihinns off tlie ground .md even refuses red meat from the hands of any except tho.sc he knows and tru.sl5;*he politely ignores strange dogs after maybe an investigatory sniff or two; he has the right iflea about pa.ssing autos and wouldn't chase one on a bet; he greets you with wagging tail and happy eyes but without the paw-marks on the shirt front. He is a gentleman, and he acts it.

".Ml dogs are eager to please and through training it is possible to indicate to the dog just how he can please his master. . well-trained dog works willingly and gladly. Through training, a dog learns how to learn. Future training in the home by his master is thus made easy."

josF.F WERiiR: "It .seems to me that if a dog owner would look upon training for his dog as he does schooling for his child he would realize its importance and value. Just as di.scii)line rlevel.ops the personality of a child, so does il apply to a dog.

" I divide my training activities into four courses—for general obedience, inolcclion, scouting and detective work and for companionship. This latter course is probably of most interest to Ihc owner of just one or two pets. Over a i>eriod of about four months I train the dog lo heel on and off tlie leash,

to heel with a mu/zle on, lo sit on command, to lie down and stay until called, to come when callcil. stop when -signalled and come again, to carry any light object, to retrieve over a three and one-half fool hedge, to refu.se food from strangers, lo be fearless of blows and shots and to trail his guide's own trail.

"This course in companionship can be completed only by comjianionship of dog and ma.sier. .X master shoulil spend a lot of time with his dog, and above all talk to him. .\ dog may not understand every word said to him. but he gets to know tones of voice and what they mean. The more time a man spends with his dog and the more attention he gives him—the more loyal and obedient dog he will have.

"From my former e.xix'riencc as a trainer for ihe llerlin rolice in Cler-many and from my present experience in doing training for the New York .\ssociation for the Blind and for the New Jersey ."slale rolicc, I am convinced lhal training can lie done only by kindness and lhal training docs not change a dog's disposition exccjit to make him steadier and more dependable. Once a dog has had .school training he will be easier to train further at home, for he has learned the funda-inenlals of obedience."

Where Do Girls Thrive Best?

W lien i l cuiiic? lime Id send daughter.? a\\a\ to .«chool . . , shall it be in the country or in the city? That question • iften precedes which school. Let us look at the advantages on both sides . . . for thev exist.

Many girls have grown up in onr large cities. Horse

back r id ing , boating, outdoor sports were not f o r them.

.\ature study and the many healthy pursuits of country l iv

ing are necessary to round out their education. The hothouse

atmosphere of city l i v ing needs a good a i r ing in the sun

shine and open air , . . both physicallv and mentally-

Many schools give considerable attention to nature

study, teaching appreciation of the out-of-doors. Planting,

gardening, tree surgery are included. Sports possible only

in the country are fitted into the athletic program . . . and

e\ery advantage is taken of country <?n\ironinent.

On the other hand, take a g i r l who knows the lore of the country by heart. The complement to her education can be found in the city. There are art exhibits to be seen , . . fine music to be heard . . . a social l i fe , upon which she may later embark, to be practised.

For gir ls who lia\e ne\ er had a iirsl-liand opporluni ly lo hear the wor ld s finest musicians . . . see notable collections of ancient and modern art. the advantages of schools in our leading cities are important. Frequently study wi th leaders in the arts can be worked into student activities.

Pxiih eoiiiitr\ and c i l \ schools lia\e a lot lo p:i\e. Thev should be chosen to give a well-rounded training in the appreciation of how lo l i \ e .

Don't Economize on Education \\ c regret that many families, seeking m a j o r and minor w a\s to .save dur ing the past fou r years, have economized on their children's education . . . have taken them out of the proper sclmuls.

I f you have been denying your children the advantages of a proper education fo r economy's sake . . . it should be the first item to restore to your budget when you have money to spend. For \ ou can do nothing finer f o r your children than equip them fo r the business of l iv ing .

I f you have been avoiding an increase in your budget and feel you can now choose a school, House & Garden can vouch fo r the schools advertised in its pages . . . give fu r ther informat ion i f you desire it . . . suggest schools suited to your needs and preferences.

T H L S M O N T H ' S COVKR. Miiyiie ynu wonder wliy lliat model of a modern house is placed on a traditional taiilc in a room furnished with Ent-lisli jicriocl furniture. W'liy didn't we make ihr surnmndin^s also modern?

Well this month's cover is an attempt to picture that state of mind where an intending home-builder is about to ring out the old and ring in ihc new. Shall the next house he builds be modern ? . \ t the moment he is ca.sling a sympathelic eye nn the contemporary mood. Quite a number of intending home-builders wil l be facing that luoblem in the next few years.

-Mi antimc, we credit R. H . Macy for the model iif ;i house designed by Harvey Wiley Corbetl: W. & J. Sloane for the furniture, the rug and llie lamp; French & Company for the pine paneling of the walls; Sclmmacher for the linen damask window curtains; and Yamanaka for ihe porcelain bowl.

H E N S L O W ' S ^ ^ 0 D E L . . \nd while wc are on Ihe subject of models, we might observe that making models of buildings is as old as the Egyptians. There is a quaint little model of a tcmjile, trees and all, among the Egyptian treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Ar t . J hcii there was M r . Henslow's model.

The Rev. John .Stevens Henslow, Professor of Botany at Cambridge University in the 4()'s of the last century, left his professorial chair to become pastor of a small country parish. He found his flock to be composed mostly of ignorant farmers. By studying better farming and husbandry methods and teaching them to his parishioners, he managed to win their confidence. He also gave an annual horticultural show on the rectory lawn. To this farmers brought their biggest Turnips and their best \\'heat and the children showed collections of wild flowers alx)ut which M r . Plenslow had instructed ihera.

One year—it was 1850—he wanted to show ]iis people what tlic house and garden of a gentleman looked like, so he labored for months making a model. He made llie house :ind laid out the grounds and even introduced figures. Th i s was, undoubtedly, the first house and garden model to be displayed at a flower show. Today it's a jirelty poor show that doesn't di.s])lay a (|uan-t i ty of them.

H O T S O V P O N H O T D . W S . As any gourmet knows, the foundation of a good meal is the soup. Hot or cold—preferably warm—it starts the d i gestive processes into a sympathetic mood to receive that which wi l l follow after. I n fact, even on tlie most humid days, when the natural temptation is to eat chilled foods, one dish should be a hot dish. Perhaps, eventually, we wi l l discover that chilled foods are not the ideal provender and that the meal should begin warm and work up to the cold dishes. Soup and roast and vegetables warm, and salad and dessert cold, is a better combination than .successive courses of arctic food.

B K K M I D.V B E . \ f T I E S . No one can go lo Bermuda without being impres.scd by the beauty of ihe flowers that spangle that fortunate isle. Perhaps the natives have wearied of answering the ([ue-stion: What is that? No longer need they be bothered. I n Bermuda's Oldest InhaJntants. Louisa Hutilings Smith has described, and a (•omi)elent arii.si has illustrated, the flowers, trees, vines and shrubs of the island. Here botanical accuracy is imbedded in charming dcscrijilioiis. Those who are garden-minded and intend visiting Bermuda cannot afi'ord lo miss this attrdc-live book. I t wi l l .serve as a guide while there and a plea.sant reminder to conte again.

T i l \ T Ji N 'E COVER. So much comment has Iteen caused by last month's cover picture that we are prompted to exi)lain that the two flowers were Orchids—yes, Orchid.s—of the genus Cypri-pediuDi, to which al.so belong our .several native s|)ecies of Latlystiitiicr. They were furnished to us by the Thomas Young Nurseries, Orchidi.sts, and photograiihed in their natural colors l)y Brueli l-Hourges. Thus, as the blooms eventually appeared on the cover of House & Garden, they represented the combined efforts of four groujis of skilled .specialists: growers, photographers, engravers and printers.

i : . \ L L A D E O F R E T U R . X

How strange i l is that we forget Al l beauty does not really go.

The sunlight on a minaret Returns with evening's afterglow, .And always the faint heart should know

.\fter the winter's wind and rain. .After the ghostly pall of snow.

The birds and bees come back again.

The bitter sea.sons bring their f i e i . The world may rock with want and woe,

And war's red tumult may beget New agony; but even so White peace shall follow, honey flow,

.\nd blo.ssoms be where blood has lain. Thanks be to heaven, bright buds shall blow.


What though today our eyes are wet, Because our dreams have vanished? No,

They have not died—not yet, not yet. Nor .shall their grave be dug below. Marlness and panic overthrow

The kindled hopes in heart and brain; But now, as in the long ago.


VEiiToi:

Love, though we vanish, and although We seem but wasted chaff and grain.

Music endures, and beauty. Oh, The birds and liecs come back again I

G A R D E N S OK ( T H O N Y A N D S T A T E . Wi th ihr second volume of Gardens of Colony and State Ihe Garden Club of .\mcrica brings lo completion a noble work of research. The garden heritage of .-\merica is now delinitely established and the horticullural family tree is completed root, trunk and branch.

The first volume halted at the Mason and Di.xnn Line. The second covers that rich and f r u i t f u l [leriod of the Southern States, the Southwest and California. In .scholarly detail, and illustrated with an abundance of beautiful and unusual line cuts and photographs, the story is .sel forth. These two volumes are essential to the e(|uipment of any well-stocked country liouse library and garden club.

On closing the book after a careful reading, wc become adjectival over the splendid work Mrs . Lockwood, the editor, and Iter various assistants have accomjilished. Wc arc also em-boldenerl by this unerring presentation of historic facts and ii iclun s to suggest that i l is about time .\mericans recovered from their mferioriiy complex in respect to gardens and gardening. If you are suffering from this complex, take copious doses of Gardens of Colony and State.

Whereas the aforesaid volumes are tall and slim, may we l i f t up a modest voice to announce that the writer of this page, who al.so has been editor of this augu.st journal for the past twenty years, has also produceil another book. TJiis one is fat and chunky. I t is called The Story of Gardening and tells the whole range of gardening hi.story f rom the time of primitive man to tlie present or, as ihe sub-title reads, "From the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Hanging Gardens of New ^'ork." l is 470 pages read easily and its jiiclures are many and unusual.

CKCS.VDK.S. . \ few months ago this Bulletin Hoard held forth on the phrase "stream line." We arc agin i t . From the number of letters received, it appears a lot of other people also are agin i l . When a storm arose over ".stream line" pencil sharpeners, we felt the cause was almost won: when an adverti.scmeni for "stream line" coffins appeared, then we knew that that phrase had come to its uttermost end.

Our next crusade wi l l be against the phrase "smart l iving." We have houses designed for smart living and rooms decorated for smart l iv ing and some people even claim that gardens can be made for smart living. The trouble with all this talk is that too much accent is put on the "smart" and too little on the " l iv ing."

To T H E C H E V : U . I F J « B O D I N . Th.is month's wreath wi l l be laid to the jdeasant memory of the Chevalier Soulange Bodin. An officer of the French .-\rmy, after the peace of 1814 he gave up soldiering completely and devoted himself to gardening. M Fromonl. near Pari.s, he settled down in a productive iiatch of ground and began hybridizing plants, .\mong the trees to attract his attention was the Magnolia. He made several cro.sses and in the spring of 1826 gazed hoiiefully on the buds of an especially promising plant. I l flowered, and the l)eauty of its blossoms was different from the others. Thus came into being Magnolia Soidangeami, now grown commonly in ;;ardens. The Chevalier was also the founder of the National Hort icul lural Society of France.

FOR T H O S E W H O T R A V E L . \\'e woulil like to offer a service to those gardeners who intend lo Iravel. House & Garden wi l l be ulad lo suggest books on the flowers of llie country or sec-lion you i)lan lo visit. Reading them beforehand wi l l whet your appetite and prepare you for enjoying what you hope lo see. Name your country and Hou.sc & Garden will name ihe information.

IF YOU'RE DECORATING A SMALL APARTMENT

A M I I \ ( , ihc 111.my (,h;inL:i - in

t i l l - la.^t lew yc'urs affecting |>eo|)lt-".s l i \ i ' s i.s the change in .sequence when moving from (iiic ;i|)artmeiit to a n other. I n the good old days one slarti'd in a small apartment and progrc.s.sed tu a larger oni'. Xdw i t would .seem that most of us are moving f rom large apartments into smaller ones; therefore the <|uestion of achieving attractive results in less .space grows more important. Howevi-r. small rooms c;in he made every bi t as charming and distinguished as large ont-s. with a l i tde careful tiiought and planning in the beginning.

lU'fore .-tarting to decorate your apartment, remember tliat yi)U are the one to live in it. There is anollier theory, we know, that l iv ing rooms and dining room.s—the rooms wl i i i h your friends .see the most—should be decorated for their pleasure and for the pleasure you w i l l get f rom their surpri.so. We consider this a dangerous theor}'. You w i l l be in }()ur rooms ten times as often as any of your friends. So if }ou intend to really live in \-our house, decorate it for your own ple;isure and comfort even i f }'our friends do not find it s t r iking or p;irt icularly up to date.

Amusing rooms, as wc use the word now. ;ire stunt rooms, rooms so f u l l of style that xou can't hear to stay i n them, or portions of a cathedral brought into a New York apartment, or whatever may be thought entertaining at the moment. Even too much smartness is a doubtfu l qual-it\- I I I a room. The rea.son is. tliat smartness is largely a matter of fashion and when fashion changes, your room is shopworn, dated. So i f you caimot throw awa\' everything and redecorate every six months, you would do well to avoid extremes. I n furni ture , whether you buy Chip-IK 'iidale or modern, he sure that the pieces have something structural!)- right about them and that they fi t your

particular needs. Then you w i l l be safe f rom the thing whit h is nierel}-smart—you w i l l have good st}-leand, at the same time, jiieces capahle of giving perm:inenl s;itisfaclion.

One of the first considerations in selecting your new apai-tment is the (|Uestion of wall spaces. Be sure that the l iving room iloesiTl have too many doors; that it has room bir your desk near good l igh t ; that i t has space for a sofa in the |)ro])er relation to the fireplare. i f you are lucky enough to h;ive a I'lrephice. In the dining room there should lie sufficient space to center a sideboard. ;ind enough room, when people are .seated at the table, for the maid to pass easil\' around. The bedroom needs room for the bed where it w i l l look well and not face the light. Consider where } o u want the side l ights; see that ugly overhead fixtures are taken out. capiied, and that you have plent\' of base plugs htr lamps. As sunny rooms are the jilcasantesl things in the world to i i \ e in , it goes wi thout saying that the most important t ' l ing of a l l is to find an apartment with as nuuh l ight as possible.

Al te r }'ou f ind this ideal apartment, start visualizing it as a whole. Plan where to put the furni ture and then decide on the color .scheme. Almost everyone has things from their old apartment, and these w i l l frequentl}' intluencelhe choice of colors. I f you have an Oriental rug that you want to use in the l iv ing room, take one of the colors f rom it for walls and another color for furniture covering. I f there is design on the floor, it is better to have plain m;i-terial or .stripes on the furniture. I f more design is needed in the room, have figured curtains that repeat the colors in the rug. Be sure when pit king out chintz bir curtains in the same room as an Oriental rug. that the scale of the ( hint/- is good with the rug, as well as the colors.

I f you have alway.s wanted a green l i v ing room, then hiok for curtain.-;, furni ture coverings and rug-« for a green scheme. The same rule applies to yellow, blue, white or any other color. \\"\[h no particular scheme in mind, study fabrics un t i l you find one that plea.ses you and then pick out some color in the falir ic for the walls. I n some cases the background of the ciiintz determines the wall color; in others, it is taken f rom a color in the design, .•\fter you have found a chintz you l ike, select other materials to go wi th i t . A room is monotonous with all the furni ture covered in one material. I f curtains and .sofa are in c hintz, then cover the chairs next to the sofa or in f ront of the curtains in a plain material. W i t h pla in curtains reverse the scheme.

We have ."Suggested chint/.es for the l iv ing room of a small ajiartment because we feel that wi th 18th Century English, French or I ta l ian furn i ture , the livable styles so much in use today, it is always charming to u. e chintz as they do in England and France. The heavy I ta l ian and early English f u r niture that one a.ss.'iociates wi th damasks and velvets is too heavy in scale for mo.st of our small aj)artments.

The modern st} le continues to be the most exciting phase of decoration. I t is simple, direct and restful. But the best modern furni ture is designed fo r the place i t is going i n and you t an't really tell un t i l i t is delivered whether i t is just right or not. W'ht'u you are buvin.n old furni ture you can have tlie

piece you l ike sent home to t ry , and if it doe.sn't look well in the place planned for i t , you can return it and look for something else. You cannot return a piece of modem furniture that has been designed especially for you just becau.se it turns out to be a disappointment.

The starting point i n a room is the wal l tretitment. When considering what color to paint your rooms, don't forget how charming dark walls can be. W i t h a dark background in your l iv ing room, then curtains, lamp shades and some of the furni ture covering can be light for contrast. W i t h brown walls, yellow curtains are effective; wi th dark blue walls, p ink ; wi th red, oyster white. We have a great feeling that connecting rooms should be complimentary to each other. For instance, wi th a l iv ing room painted one of these dark colors, wi th light curtains, the d in ing r<Kjm should be a lighter .'shade of the same color or the l ight color of the curtains. Or, i f you have a light greenish blue l iv ing room, for in.stance, i t would be smart to u.se a wall paper in the dining room wi th greeni.sh blue in the design, keeping the woodwork the same color in l)Oth rooms. There are many well-designed papers today and i f you haven't many good pictures, we know of nothing that so (juickly furnishes a room and makes it livable as wall paper.

There is nothing more l)eautiful than a white room but a while room must have sun. There is a theor)' that you make dark rooms more cheerful by (Contitnird on pd'^r '>4)

Every dormer costs in the neighborhood of seventy-five or more dollars, consequently i f the caves be raised and dormers eliminated, there is a sub.^tantial saving. I f the gable-end caves are close-cropped, instead of projecting I S " or thereabouts, there w i l l be a saving of about $1 per lineal foot (besides a l ike ly gain in imjiroved appearance). I f the best quali ty of materials be used, and first-class labor lie employed, eventually there w i l l be a saving on a long-pul l investment, as compared wi th being penny-wise through using .-^ectmd-class substitutes. A single roof leak can do more damage than the original difference in cost between ;i first-class roof and a disappointment.

The drawing above is a composite collection of roof

problems w l i i d i are common to the average hou.x'. . \ C o l onial tyjie was selected hecau.se there are more of t l i i -species than any otht r in this country. Moreover, the same angle of roof pitch and intersection details apply in general to I t a l i an and Spanish roofs as well . Extepi for the steeper angle of pitch, the same problems also occur in English and French examples.

Encircled in the drawing are a dozen salient elements which should be investigated before bui lding ;i new hou.se or reconditioning an old one. I t is always the better jiart of valor to consult an architect, because his prolVssioiKil advice bears the same relation to improving a roof that calling in a doctor does to curing an ailment.

I n considering the welfare of any house reflect that there are few salient (|ualities more important to any and every style than good mass, and that the latter is in no small measure dependent upon the roof being simjile, straightforward, and given to fol lowing the dictates of common .sense and u t i l i ty . I t is worth remembering that the main portion of a roof should have the dignity and re[)ose befitting its importance, and it therefore usually gains by being uninterrupted in its stride. On the other hand the wings of a house can i i f ford to be more intimate and informal l>v the introduction of dormers.

New hope for small houses

T A K I N l i \ ;ind hirgr. the pi 'riixi that coiuluded in the Fal l of '20 was not t < M ) k ind to the small house. Fine small linu.' e,> w i ' i c built, of cour-ie, and not a few. Hut .--oarint; costs, combined with the tendency toward standardization and mass produition, were responsible for much that is to be regretted. 'l'ho.<e were halcyon days for the sjx'culative l)uilder, adept at producing good looks without real substance. Then, tcx), peojih' were not .sure ju.st what they re-' |uired of a hou.se. I n the stay-at-home }ears since the\' have had time to find out.

Today there is general agreement that bui ld ing construction, wi th its vast employnii-nt possibilities, is to come back in part at least through the medium of small houses. The L.'i)vernment has included this in its New Deal. Bureaus made up of our best architects and men trained in finance and building have been set up to smooth the way. The details of an insurance s\ stem are being worked out whereby financial institutions that make bui ld ing loans w i l l have some form of government support. .A huge modernization canijiaign is also in progress. Real service is given the small home owner, not just ajiprobation and vague encourai^ement. Results arc already U'ing achieved.

Every effort is to be maile that the new small hou.- es may be real homes, to whose j i lanning has been given as much consideration for modern equipment and convenience, good design and sturdy construction as was previously obtainable only for the most ex[iensive class of dwellings. .•Ml the agencies that have anything to do with building are anxious to further the i au.se.

I N the future, financial support for the tyjies of liuildings that are u.sually erected on speculation w i l l be extremely d i f f i cult to obtain. Safeguards are to be applied at this point to the effect that all plans must meet wi th expert approval before loans w i l l be allowed. This ajjj iroval w i l l come only to a hou.se that is a good investment, and a good investment on the part of a financing institution is by the same token a good investment for the home-builder.

-Architects all over the country are devoting their best efforts to the small hou.se problem. Educational campaigns arc telling the public what the architect does and how he can .save money for his client. Xewspajiers and magazines are giving much space to building informati(jn and are famil iarizing the public wi th good small-house plans.

Add to these facts the thought that the actual workmen, the important rank and file of the building army, who have jiassed through ; i period of almost complete inactivity, are readv toda\' as never before to </\ve their best efforts, and we

have a bright picture for tho.se who are dissali-fied with their |)resent homes and wish to remodel or l>uild anew, or those who are to embark on their first buildin.y \-rnture.

I N (|uite another way we lielieve there is to be a new era for the small hou.<e. I t is probably the influence o f modernism that has directed people back to the simplicity which is an inherent (|Uality of good architecture. But . whatever the cause, there is a noticeable trend liack to such jiractical styles as Regency and Georgian. Not long ago the pictures(|ue, ar-represented by the jirovincial .styles, seemed alniut to become dominant in small-hou.se design. Even though there was real artistry behind many of these efforts, and not a yearning toward the awkward rococo of the 1900's, st i l l small houses l iui l t to gain the most value for the amount invested are not readil\" amenable to na'i've old-world effects.

Sincerity and simplicity are becoming graces for the small house. They wear well through the years, while tastes in decorative effects change almost with the .season. Houses built in this country 200 years ago certainly had them, and are they not our most treasured today?

Dur ing the past few years most of us have learned much more ak iu t what makes real l iv ing than we ever knew before. 'I'astes in homes have vastly changed for the better. Instead of rushing away i n search of entertainment we ex|)lore the possibilities of our homes and, not of lesser importance in this outdoor age, their grounds. As a matter of fact we are wi l l ing to have smaller homes than liefore, but we want more space about them. Space for a garden—space for games— space for outdoor eating—space s imj i ly to relax in and shake off that pent-up feeling that comes f rom close (|uarters. I t is inexplicable why people move out of the city to get away from crowded conditions and then are content to be sandwiched on a small jilot of ground. N o house can be given a .suitable setting i f i t has to rub shoulders with the hou.ses at either side. I n reality the apjiearance of the grounds is no less important than that of the hou.se it.self, and the generally improved appearance of our .suburban jiroperties and the growing interest in home gardens show that this is now lie-ing realized.

A s M . A i . i . hou.se and a large garden is far from being ju.st an idle phra.se. I t is really a tested formula that makes for home happiness. Many who have lately g(me from large, elalxirate homes to .small, but wel l -ap jHj in ted ones would never wi l l ing ly go back to the larger cares and responsibilities that a big house entails—but anyone who has gone from fair-sized grounds to a tinv plot w i l l not be comfortable.

A white garden found in Wales

By Louise B. Wilder

A T ilic c c n t c T of each man'.s I K - I I I U .

>a\s ( ' l ifsti-rton. i.s a dream. M y pi-t dream for mail}' war.s ha.s invn a white <iarden. s.'l apart and inclosed within a shining .1,'rccn hedge. I never have come anywhere near to reali;cinj:; this dream, never had s|i;i(e enou.i^h to he anythinij so special— or ])erhaiis it is horticultural self-control that has been lackini^. Somethinc;. But since the mild summer evening on which I once saw a white garden beautiful ly carried out. it has lingered in my mind as i n deed ""such stuff as dreams are made on" and one of the loveliest gardens I ever saw.

This white garden was one of a series of gardens on a splendid estate i n Wales, on I he river Ely. not far from ancient L l a n -daff. I t was planted entirely with white-ilowering plants and inclosed, not i n the clo.se-clipped hedges of my desire, but by <Umr walls of a warm ]iinkish gray in color. 'I'his was not. as might be supposed, cold in effect; the curious hue of the stone wa.s warm and almost luminous and made a del i g h t f u l background for the pale flowers. W'c saw this garden first at twi l ight , that witching hour, and ])eering through the tall iron gates. ;il)ove w h i i h swung a Clematis .starred wi th immense white lilooms, the effeit was almost as i f a mist had crept u]) f rom the river and finding the haven of this quiet inclo.sure had swirled around and about, rising here in wraith spires and turrets, l y i n g there i n gauzy breadths amiilst the muted green. I t is impos

sible to describe its beauty at this dim hour—.so soft, so ethereal, .so mysterious, half real it seemed. And yet when we saw it at noon of the next day it was no less arri'sting. thoiiu'h in a different way. I t had l)ecome. so to speak, flesh and blood. Something you could draw boldly near to. Looking at i t we did not sjK'ak in whispers as we had the night before.

Now it would be natural to suppose that a garden planted wholly wi th white flowers would be bleak in effect, or at least very monotonous, but this was not at all the ca.se. I t was neither funereal nor wedding-ish in appearance. I t was f rank and fresh and f u l l of changing values. Ai twi l ig l i t . of course, it .seemed a l i t t le unreal but isn't that true of almo.st any garden at this hour when the hand of man is less apparent and mysterious agencies si'em to have brought i t into iieing? And thi-n there are. as a matter of fact, almost no pure white flowers. I have seen Sweet Peas of an alisolutely flat jiaper-whitencss, but for the moment I can call to mind no other flowers of such unrelieved pallor. A large proportion of so-called white flowers tends towards buff, or mauve or Idush in the throat; the petals of many are deli(ately lined, or veined or blotihed with color: blue, carmine, green, \ellow. . \ great numluT are not white at all but what we call cream-white, blush-white or skimmed-milk white, and the name of those having a greeni.sh ca.st is lesion. y\.mv flowers chani^e f rom white to

W H I T E C O L U M B I N E

pink or even to dei'p rose or ACUOW as they age, while bunches of bright-hued stamens or stigmata often cast a glow over the whole flower. Things being as they are there could not jiossibly be monotony of tone in a garden of white flowers.

And there is Irsides infinite diversity of te.xture; there w i l l l)e the flat sheenless whites, the satin whites, the velvet whites, while tile variety of form is as ^reat as among other flowers—spires, wed'^es. flat i()r\"mbs. spikes, bursts of mist, trails, streamers, banners and plumes; they lie along the ground, aspire slenderl}'. climb the walls and trelli.ses, are hung from tree and shrub in infinite mul t i formi ty and contrast. And in addition the foliage of the different plants and shrubs offers its own contrtistive spice—the dark and light and yellow-greens wi th the many gray and silvery tones of the leaves (juite [)revenling any monotonous duplication or harping recurrence of hue. I t was plain, however, that this \\'elsh garden was the jiroduct of the mo.st loving care and intelligent choice of material.

At the back of the garden, which was in the form of a large rectangle, a raised rectangular .stone (ContiiiiicJ on paiif 65)

The quilting bee buzzes again

AFTF:R years of neglect, the nohle indoor sport of quiltini^ has taken on new l i f e . Many and iieautiful are the qui l t ing designs of today and their place in decoration is important and well de-erved. In addition to (|uilts, we find this lovely art enriching upholstery, wall hangings, curtains and pillows.

W hen t-ir.<t I came to live in Hardin.-liurg, Kentucky, whatever qualms I felt at esiabli.-hing my residence in this remote section of the state were quii kly forgotten in the discovery that the very jirimitiveness of this picturesque region had favored the jireservation of one of the most fascinating of the Early Ameri tan crafts—that of qui l t ing. Qui l t ing is as i n digenous to Kentui ky hi l l s as liluegrass to Kentucky meadows. Certainly the connoisseur comes to Kentucky for quilts as to France for wines; to Xew Orleans for iron work.

My first interest on .-feeing the f |u i l t ing done hy Breckinridge County women was stirred by the ex(|uisite delicacy of their s:iicliery. For nearly two centurii-s their distaff ancestors had expressed llieir artistic and creative imjiulses through the designing and making of (|uilis. As a result, the .skill that jiassed from mother to daughter through generations has now reached a |)oint of perfection never surpas.sed and rarelv e(|ualled.

Almost at once I was persuading the.se deft-fingered women to make quilts and comforters for me, diiuising m\- own ma-

lerials and colors. Next my friends had to be sup[)lied and before I knew i t . I was in what is called "liusiness". I n addition to plain qui l t ing, I introduced the first trapunto (|uiltiii,t^ —that technique that reached its highest point of heauty in the l.'^th Century in I taly, but had never heretofore been done In- American needlewomen. I felt sure my needleworkers could master the intricate stitihery, after I had studied designs in mu.>eums and som.e lovely old pieces in j)rivate collections. As my workers copied or a(lai)ted the old designs it was gra t i fy ing to see their exfjuisite stitches .<oon rivalled the I ta l ian and Spanish work.

The design to be (|uilted is carefully traced hy hand d i rectly on the material, as the ultimate result is much lovelier than qui l t ing f rom a stamj)ed l in ing on the back. The l in ing is usually a thin gauze Ijasted to the top fal)ric. then the whole is j)ut into the frames and basted to its muslin covered sides.

' i he [)rocedure of '"framing"" a piece is the same whether it is a warm thick wool batt that is u.sed for the interlining of comforters, or the th in sheet of cotton used for the ap|)li(|ue and j)atch quilts, or no interl ining as in the ca.se of the trapunto qui l t ing . The qu i l t bottom is stretched t ight ly to the four corners of the frame and then basted al l around; the balling is next .sewed to the edge and I'lnally the top material is carefully sewed on and t ightly stretcheil.

The quilter starts at the outer edge and c|uilts a "reach"' before she rolls u\) the work around the side piece of the frame, then fastens the side clamps f i rmly down and <|uilts another •"reach"". W i t h her right hand she def t ly slijis four or five

stilclies ( H ) t i l l- needle, making sure, with her lef t hand undiT tlie qui l t , that each stitch has penetrated not only the interl in ing ljut the l in ing material as well—a no mean accom-jilishment when one considers that many of our comforters are made of two thicknes.ses of satin or taffeta wi th a two and a half [lound batt of lamb's wool Ijetween. Most needlewomen prefer a number six needle for the comforters and a number seven for the trapunto work. We u.se a special mercerized qui l t ing thread which in thickness corresponds with the number seventy cotton thread. Rarely do we quil t wi th silk thread.

Af te r the quil t is taken f rom the frames the edge is finished by a narrow bias binding, whipped down with tiny stitches.

I n the trajRinto pieces, the t ju i l t ing is just the beginning of the procedure for after that has been done then the entire design must be raised i)y pul l ing th in rolls of wool lietween the j)aralleled lines of the design. This is done wi th a blunt needle. Most women are fami l ia r wi th the exquisite results of this particular type of qui l t ing which has become tremendou.sly ]i(i|)ular since our grouj) first started it in America.

Not only the exotic trapunto work but the more sturdy and rugged k i n d of American qui l t ing have liecome the forte of the. e s k i l f u l Kentucky needlewomen.

Tuberous-rooted Begonias, to flower freely in the shade

" B i . A C K am! white and red all OVCT" is an ea.sy riddle compared to this horticultural conundrum I once heard j)ropounded to a garden club:

•'\\'hat flower is i t , " we were asked, "which resembles a Rose, a Mal low, a W'aterlily, a Primula, a Carnation or a Gardenia; varies in size f rom a small Cornflower to a great single H()ll\ 'hock; has a color range from white through j)ink, yellow and salmon to crimson; ajipears in both uj i r ight and t ra i l ing forms, is free f rom insect or disease, and perfectly adapted to shady plantings?"

".A Tuberous-rooted Begonia." was the correct answer given by an English gardener who in her own country had grown these lovely flowers in many named \'arielies and combinations.

Here we mu.st, as a rule. ]>urchase Tuberous-rooted Begonias by type alone.

Even so there is a wide variety for our selection and tho.se who have never planted them have ahead one of those del ightful adventures in gardening which are blessed with success from the start.

The blos.som of the Tuberous-rooted Begonia takes so many forms that it has been said it is '"among flowers what the mocking l i i rd is among birds." There are singles often with a f r i l l e d or fluted edge (Bcgun'ui crispii) doubles resembling .some ethereal Ro.se. a crested type (Begonia cristata) with a crinkled edge and ro.setted (enter, :ind a t ra i l ing variety {Bri^oiiid. pi'uduld) with lax halji t and flowers like a Fuchsia blossom.

A t lea.st two named hvbrids are avail

able: Frau Helene Harms, a dwarf compact grower, with a cro\ATi of double yellow flowers; and Xarcissiflora, i n mixed pastel shades, wi th the male blossom closely resembling a giant trumpet D a f f o d i l . These, however, have not always proved satisfactory, often showing an inclinat ion to dwindle away in the summer heat. For those who have already been successful wi th other Tulierous-rootcd Begonias, Frau Flelene Harms and Xarcissiflora v.'ould be interesting to plant as an experiment.

There are three fine species. Pcarcci f rom Bolivia is the parent of a l l yellow Tuberous Begonias wi th sulphur colored blos.soms on long stems. Suthcrlandi f r om X'atal is a slender, graceful type wi th buff flowiTS rising f rom bright red-veined leaves. I t is part icularly desirable as a window i)lant because it blooms f rom May un t i l Novemlier. Evansiana f r om Java is the only hardy Begonia. I t grows about two feet high and flowers freely i n September and October wi th a profusion of single pink blossoms. A few dry leaves for mulching about its roots in winter enable it to come unscathed through the cold season.

Because of its preference for shade, the TuI)eious-rooted Begonia is an invaluable plant where flowers are desired in sunless areas. I t w i l l , of course, also grow and bloom in f u l l sunlight, but Imrning of the leaves, particularly in dry .sections, is a l most inevitable. Protection from strung wind is always necessary.

For the shaded city garden this Begonia is attractive for bedding. I f it is planted in a balanced design with clipi)ed Ivy or

hardy evergreen Candytuft {Ibcris) as a border it makes a garden by itself. For small plantings i t is best to choose one type and to select the colors with care. Mixtures .sometimes blend but too often an orange springs up next a br i l l iant pink and there is not the pleasant harmonious shading which is [lossible when .separate colors are obtained.

For the counlr_\' place the Tuberous-rooted Begonia has man}- values. I t is charming ])lanted at the l)a.se of some vine-covered wal l , where it may cast shadows in late afternoon. I t may be interi)lanted wi th hardy Ferns in front of Rhododendrons, clu.stered in a wide informal group beneath t i n Oak tree, or settli'd in some heavily shaded jiorch bed. Becaiisi' its habit of growth is neat and its foliage attractive, it is also well suited to the terrace garden where every inch is visible f rom the hou.se.

I once grouped the single salmon variety beneath a BechteFs Flowering Crab which terminated a shrubberv- border. . \ l i t t le path of stepping stones pas.sed by the spot and it seemed thtil no one ever wandered by without bending down to touch the lovely Begonia jilanls.

Their bloom is certainly arresting and for the shiided window box thev are as br i l l iant as Geranium.s in a sunny one. There is always abundant lilooming, of course, in an open box at north or east exposures, but even in the south and west in the heavy shade of awnings—if the ends are not closed—a fa i r amount of flowering may lie expected. 1 have enjoyed in summer such a shaded box of these Begonias

PORCHES FOR WEEK-END LIVING By Fritz Steffens

To T i i K average apartment house dweller, the dream of an ideal week-end hou.se remains u n f u l filled. .-Mthough he can accommodate him.self to al l sorts of abbreviations i n town, the openness of the country brings on expansive ideas beyond his anticipation. And yet the argument in favor of the small apartment is seldom applied to the country problem. Since the weekend house is to be run with the same economy of service, a scientific process of elimination is advisahle.

To T H E small house the porch has alwa}s lirought a serious [iroblem. I t is a matter of cubage, and cul-iage is cost, and although the cost of the yiorch per foot is, of course, not nearly as expensive as that of the l i v ing room, it usually subtracts enough .space f rom this room to make both somewhat unsatisfactory. The l iv ing room— dining room combination has worked out so well for simple l iv ing that it is now time to try the l i v ing room that is also a porch.

A I Akci .-creened porc h in the heat of the day becomes a comfortable l iv ing room at night. Windows that slide out of sight or open into enclosures specially designed to fit them, make this possible. A cement, stone or brick floor wi th a simple hreplace carries the illusion from one to the other, \ \ a l l s may be of painted plaster or naigh stucco stencilled. Curtains should be of waterproof material, as the\- w i l l act in the dual capacit}' of awnings and draperies.

H A \ I N C ; thus reduced the units of the plan of the weekend-cottage to living-room-porch, d ining room, kitchen and garage; two bedrooms and one bath are al l that are needed to make the weekend invitation jios.-ible and in sucli a simple e.^tab-lishment housework divided by four becomes negligible. Even wi th in the l imi ts of such a t iny ji lan. it is possible, with only mincjr adjustments, to adapt it to a style that is in harmony with vacation setting.s—the beach or the countr\side.

Till", beach hou. c is modern. By a process of elimination it becomes .«o. The walls are wide ship lap, stained or natural, laid horizontally over the usual studding. Color may he had in the shingled roof and in the window sashes; there is no t r im. The large windows in the l iv ing room slide horizontally into ])ockets in the studding on metal tracks like the sliding doors between the old front and back parlor. The garage door is of the overhead type. A l l window (Coiilimicd on pui^r 64)

Plants of the Siskiyous, the

Siskiyou Mountains and I't'wiT s l i i l liavr sex'ii IUDIV llum the i-diics of this tuinhlcd mass o f peak.- that >iaiid> astride the Oregon-California border hitwveii the Cas-( adcs and the Coast Range.

To those who vision every range of the Pacific: Northwest a s gh)riried wi th the cloud-|)iereing splendor of such peaks as Rainier or Hood, i t may bring disaj)pointnient at first sight. Here is a range with no massive volcanic coni-s dominating its sky l ine; no great permanent smiw helds spreading white summer mantles over the hoary l)eaks: nor crawling glaciers gr inding and tearing at those granite tlanks. But the Si.skiyous are old—|)robably geologically the oldest territory in the State of Oregon—and from lhat fact ari.-es one of their strongest a|)peals. Their age is shown by the wide valleys; by the slowly crumliling talus sidpi's, and weather beaten Hanks scarri'd by the beating storms of countless ages; by the gnarled, twisted, ancient tri'e> growing pa infu l ly and shtwly in the scanty soil near tlieir rock_\- summits; and by the uni( |Ue flora developed here since the beginning when the Si>kiyous were a great rocky island in the jire-historic seas.

The Siskiyous are a unique range l ju i l t of twisted and broken ma,-.-es of rock. Granites, limestones, serpentines and mane different types of mineral-bi'aring strata are mingled i n a tangled confusion, jai/./.ling indeed to any ordinary observer.

This gr im, rocky range supports a comparatively scanty f o r e s t growth, though on the deeper soih- and n o r t l u T n

sh)pes trees grow in the abundance usually lound in this essentially wooded country. On southern e.\|)osures, |)artic-ularlv in the scantier .^oils. a brush l o v e r . made U|) largely of W'ildlilac ( CVv;;;o//;».v J, ^[anzanita f . I rclostupliylos). and the Silktas>elbu>h (U,irrya), is the dominating vegetative type. Through forest and chajjarral alike, great rocky ribs and s h e e r precii^ices stand i n bold relief affording ideal homes for a great assortment of al|)ine and sub-alfiine j)lants, many of t h e m peculiar to this restricted territory. On the lower rocky summits the Oaks (usually massive trees) have, through a ciimbination of scant >oil and violent wintls, bee time twisted decumbent shrubs after the fashion of the timberline conifers.

The ser|)entine areas have been especially prolif ic in developing new forms or retaining older ones which are differentiated f rom their relatives in adjoining ranges.

For example, this range is the metro|)olis of the I.ewisias. a showy race of sub-alpine plants restricted to the New Wor ld . W i t h one or two exceptions the mo.>;t br i l l iant of these uni(|ue plants are at home on rocky northern ex-po.sures in the Siskiyous.

This , by the w a y . is so far known only f rom the T r i n i t y Mountains, separated from the Siski\ous b\' the canx'on o f the Klamath River in northern Cal i fornia .

Differ ing from all relatives, this plant has an effect of almost semi-doubleness due to the arrangement as well as the number of its long narrow petals. Growing with it are always to be found a .select company of tloral beauties, among which a pink toned version of the royal Grass-widow (Sisyrinrhiiim gnindi-tioniDi) and the impish faces of dainty \'i(>l i cuucat<i are almo.st certain to be found. T h i s latter plant is oddly ap-jjealing in a group of most str iking \'iolets found here, r . niucaid sprawls along the ground with its thickenecj rootstalks sometimes partially above the surface al'ter the fashion of the famil iar German I r i s . . \ t intervals l i t t le clumi)s of small heart-sha|)ed leaves, leathery and dul l green, appear as a background to the blos.-;oms nestled among them.

ANNUALS OF CALIFORNIA

By Lester Rowntree

A L M O S T a century licforo the first wi ld whoop resounded from Hollywood, the wiklllowers of Cal i fornia had won i n Europe a glory of quite another quality for the southwestern slope of the I 'acific Coast. And although Cal ifornia , as a duly n;imi-d and constituted State, was s t i l l far in the future, collectors f rom abroad were husy, t i l l ing their pockets and making off lionu' with its sei'ds. cuttings and plants. Then, i n | j I n l a n d ami on the Continent, horticulturalists went about the business of growing and hybridizing this loot.

'i'lie residls are now well known, but the source is often forgotten, and l l i r forms of garden Godetia, Clarkia, Esch-scholtzia, Collinsia, Eupine, Einanthus and Nemophila that bedeck the gardens of .America seem to be more closely identified wi th their European sojourn than wi th the land of their wild ancestors.

I am reminded of this obliviousness when—as often happens—I am escorted to a fine showing of annuals and recognize in them the direct offs j j r ing of seeds collected i n the Cal i fornia back country, while, murmuring a reverent ' ' Imported .seed, of course I " the owner waves a proud arm toward the returned emigrants.

Tracking down all the garden hybrids resulting from the native annual s|)ecies of Cal i fornia would be a pleasant arm-cliair occu])ation and a solace for one's regrets at the realtor's baimers and at the miles of closely nibbled wildflower stands where herds of cattle have denuded the country. I t is only when you stuily the seedsmen's catalogs (especially those of England) that you realize California's g i f t to horticulture i n the matter of beautiful annuals. And it is only when you travel the lovely State f rom t ip to toe and f rom its seacoast to its hot. jagged ea.-tern boundary, that you can know the splendor that the annuals spil l and spread across the land.

now. in s|)ite of the legitimate activities of realtors, ranchers and cattlemen, and notwithstanding the onrush of introduced weeds, many a spring, coming after a wet winter, l)aints thousands of acres blue wi th Liipinus nanus and mdes

The corn-yellow .stars of Brodiaea i.xioides, mingled wi th the annual Ehlox-like Gilia densiflora, accompany you for miles. Sights, these, to kindle pride in the humblest heart. No, Californians have no need to be apologetic over their wildllowers.

Msitors f rom the Etist ga.sp over these glories. ])ut their t h r i l l is immediately followed b\' the foregone conclusion that such as these are not for ea.^tern gardeners.

I thought .so myself un t i l , in my own eastern garden. I proved the contrary. A n d now that I htive la id down my New Jersey spade and taken u|) its Cal ifornia counterpart. I am more than ever certain that many notions about growing—• or not growing—California wildflowers in cold climates are misleading or tictually false.

The time has come to lay a few horticultural ghosts. There is a preconceived idea that all Cal i fornia wildllowers are tender: tliat they must have hot sun: that none w i l l weather a New York winter; and that the rock |)lants and perennials of Cal i forni i i are identical with tho.se of 0region and the Xor th -

••"\'ou see," he said. "Ihe dwarfness is in the i^'rowth oidy. The fruits are larger and more perfect than I can get off my big trees."

In di 'tail he explained to me just how liy an intricate system of a combination of pruning, disliudding. beiidini^ and tying, and occasional g i rd l in i i . he (otdd regulate the llow of saji to a nicety, and thus force or retard growth at any given jioint as he wished. The whoK' thing w;is certainly a revehiticm in the art, and the pos-.~ibilities, of growth control.

Fortun:itel\- it is not neies-ary that the home owner who would enjo\- the amenities of trained f r u i t growing should ma.ster for him.self or herself all these details. Once a tree has been properly trained and started, anyone of average garden ski l l can give it such fur ther attention as it reijuires.

Outstanding Irises of today

T i i k i . K years ago, there appeared i n this magazine an article of mine devoted to the selection of the best I r i s . I t is interesting to note the rapid development which has been made in this particular section of the flower panorama in the brief period since. Hundred.s of new seedlings have l)een introduced by amateur and professional hybridizers, and these introductions are rapidly di.splacing the older, inferior types in garden popularity.

Before comparing the out.standing I r i s varieties of 19.54 wi th their jjredecessors of 19vU, let me first define a iew technical

terms. The fiower of an I r i s has three upright petals known as standards, and three which f a l l straight downward or incline at various angles up to and including the horizontal. These latter petals are known as falls. A self is a flower which has the same tone of color i n both standards and falls, as contrasted wi th the I)icolor which has standards of one pure color and fal ls of a dilYerent shade. A blend is a combination of two or more colors existing in each i n dividual blossom.

Now let us select the Al l -American I r is eleven of the past blooming .sea.son. Perhaps you w i l l wish to add at least one of the chamjMons and a number of the alternates to ) our garden team so that you ma}-see them in bloom next spring. Right now is the ideal time to plant the rhizomes, as they are dormant and may be moved with no fear of loss. W i t h a l i t t l e coaching on your part in the form of cultivation and care, they w i l l develop into strong, free-blooming iilants by the time the next flowering seascm rolls around.

A few years ago when anyone asked me to select the most perfect yellow I r i s , I answered without hesitation or fear of contradiction that Pluie d'Or was my choice. When a visitor to ray gardens recently asked the same question, I was in a quandary. Pluie d'Or remtiins a fine I r i s .

By Thurlow H. Weed

I t is of medium height, between .>6" and 40", produces medium sized flowers of perfect form and gocxi substance, although the pure golden tone is apt to fade to a lighter shade i n strong sunlight. Coupled with tiic advantage of being a floriferous bloomer is the attractive feature of comparatively low price due to its prol i f ic mul t i i ) ly ing capacity. I would place i t amcmg the group of alternates to Ije called in case of in ju ry to the regular player.

.\s the regular player in the w l l n w posit ion, I would place Helios, another French origination. Th i s variety is the largest yellow now in existence. I t has perfectly formed standards of the purest lemon \ el-low shade I have seen. The falls , of hea\y substance, are of similar shade but delicately reticulated pale olive-violet. Helios has but one drawback and that is its tendency to produce blossoms too close together for maximum effectiveness.

.Some growers coiitenil that \ \ ' i l l i a m R. Dykes, an English origination, is su])erior. but this variety has not met wi th wide popularity due to the diff icul ty some have encountered in growing it in certain sections. The fal ls have a tendency toward be ing flecked wi th violet, which spoils its appearance. Xext to Helios, I would .si'lect eitln-r Chromxlla or Desert Gold as my (hoiee yellow. The latter is a very l ight }-elIow, growing to medium height and bl iMiming unusually early. Chromylla is a much more golden yellow, wi th forty-inch stalks bea r ing evenly spaced blossoms of a pure color tone. Crj'soro is the best of the short-stalked yellows, blooming .several weeks before the others. A l l three of thex-lKi\-e received awards iiy ihv .Xnierican I r is Society. Other excellent yellow varieties for our purpo.ses are Primavera, .Îta Cal i fornia , Coronation, Phoebus, Sunlight and Lady Paramount.

Red Iri.ses are becoming more and more popular as flowers of improved tone are lieing jilaced on the market. I t was but a few years ago that the only red Iri.-ês in existence were small blossoms of purplish or bluish red; no pure red was

known. But hv ljridixers persisted in erosing these inferior red flowers and the natural result after a few I r i s generations was a l imited number of originations of better color. Among the outstanding var i eties now are Ind i an Chief and Dauntless. Both have falls of deep, velvety, blood red. 'I'he standards of the former are a s l i^ i i t -l y lighter red-violet, but I prefer i t to Dauntless which has received wider acclaim. K i n g T u t has flowers of str iking reddish brown, but these are not large enough to [)lease the average flower lover. Cheerio, just introduced, is an unusually iiright red.

Among the liest varieties in var\ ing red hues are Ereliian. Cardinal, Cinnabar, Coppersmith, De[)ute Xomblot . Pavane, Red Dominion, Red W i n g . Tiger-Tiger,

Rubeo, Grand Monarch and Red Radiance. Spark, as the name suggests, is a new variety producing small fiery brick-red flowers in abundance. Of course, none of the.se Irises is a blood or scarlet red; unfortunately, the Ijrigli t I j r i l l iant ri'ds in Gladiolus are not }et available in Ir is .

White always has been an emblem of puri ty and grace. A few years ago I declared Purissima to l)e the finest white I r i s . Since that time many of my garden jilants of this variety have been frozen, which has led me to change my opinion as to its worth. .-Mthough I continue to admire i t as an almost [lerfect I r i s specimen, bearing finely shaped llowers of purest white tone and evenly spaced on an exceptionally ta l l stalk, I am forced to relegate i t to the substitute's bench, becau.se o f its lack of hardiness. T o grow this variety in tiny of the colder States rcr|uires special winter protection; but in Cal i fornia , its land of origin, it does splendidly.

Lest my words lead readers to conclude many Irises are not hardy and cannot be grown in colder States, let me say em-[ihatically at this time that out of the thousands of varieties less than a do/en are so tender that they cannot be grown with ea.- e in any State of the Union.

When the star i)Iayer is removed from the team, the coach . ômetimes has a (Hffi-cult task ."êlecting a worthy player to fill the vacant jxisition. Such is the ca.se here. There are a number of older whites which are recognized as being of inferior ( |uality. and there are an (Conlinucd on page 7,))

scdisfuMna to tastt cund ImMjcpA^ Haven't you sometimes wondered what a

truly skilled soup-chef would produce if he turned his hand

to Noodle Soup? It is a soup steeped in all the traditions

of hearty good eating — a soup that the appetite instinc

tively seeks when a real hunger is making itself felt and

calling for deep-down satisfaction.

Well, your grocer has the answer! Campbell's Noodle

Soup — a new creation — will be a revelation of goodness

to your appetite. Here is an old favorite — glorified —

improved beyond measure — better than you have ever

tasted it before.

In seeking to give Noodle Soup the fmai touch of good

ness, Campbell's have naturally placed chief emphasis on

the chicken richness. For it is the chicken which distin

guishes the best Noodle Soup.

Only egg noodles are used. These are just right in size

and liberal in quantity. And then the chicken broth! Here

it is in all its flavory richness and in that extra strength

which lifts this Noodle Soup to a new high deliciousness.

in addition, there is the garnish of tender chicken meat,

white and dark, selected from the very choicest parts.

The price — just the same as other Campbell's Soups!

painting them light colors, and this is true i f you gel the right light color. I t is always successful to paint a dark room a light sunny yellow or any of the salmon pinks or terra cotla tones, but a dark room i)aintcd white or light gray is cell-like and dreary.

.\s few apartments have good enough woodwork to feature, it is best to paint the woodwork the color of the wal l : ceilings .should be light, floors dark. I n most cases the ceilings should be just olT while on the tone of the walls; hence with a yellow room let the ceiling lie cream-white; wi th a blue room, blue-while, a green room—green-whiu!. Floors should be a dark brown oak color. The best way to gi-l walls the color you want is to insist that the painter match the sample in his first coat of painl. As the average apartment allows you three coats of jiainl. this meibod gives you two chances to change your mind.

Lighting is an imiiorlanl element in every decorating scheme and just as sunlight does more to make your rooms charming than anything else by day. .so does the proper light by night. In most small living rooms it is best to light the room entirely by lam|is as the

low light gives a plcasanlcr effect thai the high light from wall fi.xiures. I i dining rooms sidelights are necessar as there is no furniture in a dinin room to hold lamps. Chandeliers or ccil-j ing fi.Ktures over a dining room tabl(( give a hard, unbecoming light.

A l l lamp shades in a room .should hi of one color as nothing makes a roon spottier than two tan lamp shades, foi instance, wi th a red or green one White or yellow shades give the pleasantest light in most living rooms, and yellow, white, or pink in bedrooni.s .Ml .shades, liowever, need nol be of the same mau rial . W i l l i w hile shades, some can lie of ]jlain parchment, some of decorated jiarchmenl wi lh a wiiiie background, and some of while silk.

I t is almost as difficult to di.scussl curtains for windows you haven't seen .IS to select a dress for a person you don't know. Tn general, single windows in a room wilh high ceilings .shouldl have valances. I f the room has a group of two or three windows together, which tends to give the windows a broad, low look, then it is l)etter to let the curtains hang .straight wiihout valances as this makes the room look lo be much higlii'r.

The narrow clapboards and simi^le mouMings and trim of the Greek R< -vival house must be painted while. The shingled roof must be allowed to ^v.•alhor to a blue black. The brick cliinmey may be painted white wi lh a black band around the lop or left

A TRi srwoKTilv and authoritative book but. unlike the other works in this series in The Library of Fnglish .'\ri—lho.se on English potteiy and l)orcelain, and on Engli.sh needlework, it is nol written to intrigue the casual leider. I t does not tempt him from page to page unti l he has gleaned more than he e.vpecled f rom his pleasam guide. Instead, the author e.xpecls not a little of his reader, and the book becomes therefore a book for .students. We surmised as much f rom the i,)re-facc, where he forewarns us: "Whilst the reader may be excused the possession of the more cxpi'iisive boriks. he may fairly be e.vpecled lo possess or to be ready to acquire the two little books, each containing twenty ijhotogravure I dates, sold for sixpence each at the \ ' ic ior ia and .\Ibert Museum and entitled ".A I'iclure-book of English D o mestic .Silver. Nth-16th century', and •|7th century' (referred to in the te.xt

as P. I ! . I . and I ' . H, 11 respectively)." Though not ful f i l l ing the |iromise of

this series of a "readable" book, within its own siihere it is excellent. It treats the subject historically f rom the M i d dle .\.ges, through the Renaissance and the Restoration to the Modern Period. I t treats of styles, and various articles, stressing naturally the table plate .so dear to husband and liousewife alike in its glitter and glow on a well-spread board. Light ing appliances arc not neglected, and a chapter is given to "Miscellaneous Plate About the House." Then to warn the unwary, some attention is given to the falsification of hall-marks.

I'.ut that which adds most to the value of literature already current on this subject is the "history of the abuse of official plate, ignored in previous books on English silver." Here we have a point which, when more thoroughly understood, wi l l lielp to .solve many a l)eri)lexing i)rol)lem of the collector of English jjlate.

Indeed I have, and I love il. There's lots cf room, and comfort, and to start it you just push the accelerator pedal doivn. That attends to everything—choke, throttle and all. The ncvj automatic starting is fine for a girl.''

pool with a broaii coping interrupted he wide border anain.st the wall. The )0()1 was lined wi l l i the p.ilesi sea-l>lue ;ilcs and out of a spray of carved (stone, I th ink) Lilies in the center a lender jet of water arose IIIKII in liie

l i r and swayed this way and tl ial like 1 dancer in the wind, falling back "inally w i t h a UKIU whisper into the :lear waters of the basin. Al the corners in the wide copiiiR stood larKe tubs illed wi th while Lilies of the Nile.

The border that e.Mended anuiiid he iticlo.sure interrujjted only by the lool and the j;aleway was about seven eet wide. The flowers were all con-jre^ated here, leaving the heavy velvet urf iif the rest of the inclosuie un-jritken save that just off the center a /cry old Thorn tree spread its dark rooked Ijranches, and in its shallow little iron table and a few comfortable

eats were ca.sually placed. The surest ion of tea and pleasant loitering

in this peaceful, fragrant spot was very agreeable.

It was mid-suininer when we saw this while garden in Wales and the flowers that held the stage at this .s. a-.son were chiefly great nias.sesof wedge-headed Phloxes, tall and dwarf, the tall spires of Chimney and other Bell-flowers, Bohonias. white Lilies, annuals in a wide variety, including Sweet Peas that were supported on rellises at the back of the border.

Gladioli and Dahlias, and a few shrulis. The borders were etlged with .stone and spilling over this cnnlining band in ma.sses were while annual Pink.s. Phlox (Iniiiiinnndi. Cuijflnwer, Petunias, f r i l l y and ]ilain. Verbenas. >alc California Poii|)ies, Sweet .\lys-

sum, Car]iathian Harebells, Heuchera. Fla.xflowcrs and the like. Here and here a climber came f n m i the outer

side and flung itself over the r im of the wall in tangled masses or long treamers and more than one lingering ^o.se pressed a satin cheek again.st tlie warin-hued stone.

A chief and very apparent charm of l is while garden was its sweetiw ss, )r many white flowers are fragrant. si)ecially towards night. . \ t dusk the

rfumes arising f rom while Tobacco. St(i( k, Lilies, the ma.sses of gray-white I lel ioiroi je , Tuberoses and Petunias were almost overpowering. . \ i i d besides

ic fragrant flowers I noticed that a houghiful hand had set among them )lanls of Lemon Verbena, Sweet Gera

nium, Southernwood, Rosemary. Lavender, CcdroiicUa triphylla, and other plants beloved for their scented leaves.

W'e talked with the gardener in chaige and learned that this garden was cunningly planted to be as ful l of bloom as possible throughout the season and not, as is often the case wi i l i one color gardens, for a sliorl jjcriod only. Many .spring and summer flowering bulbs were made use of, a wide range of annual and perennial plants, shrubs, climbers and trees of medium lieij^lit and gracious blossoming. Var i ous devices were employed to maintain the continuous bloom, .\nnuals raised elsewhere were transplanted to blank si>a(rs left by departed bulbs and to fill other gaps in the flowery procession; Lilies and Heliotropes and

Tuberoses in pots were dropped in wherever they would do the most good. .111 withered or .siicnt plants were i m mediately cleared away and replaced by something fresh. The Brit ish are clever at keeping a border always appearing at the peak of perfection, and their climate is their ally rather than their antagonist in this worthy aim.

This list I have changed a little, adding a few special favorites of my own and omitting certain plants thai are unsuitalilc to our more severe climatic conditions, or that arc at the lire.senl time unprocurable in this country. I give it here for the benefit of any who may be cherishing a dream similar to mine or who may here and now give birth to one. I am sure a litl le inclosed white garden or even a winding border of white flowers against a green background would lie a possession of which one would not easily tire. I t would always suggest peace and harmony, yet there would be no lack of interest. Frayed nerves wouUl find it remedial.

A FUNNEL IS NO LARGER THAN ITS NECK

A BOILER IS NO LARGER THAN ITS HEATING SURFACE

n p H E amount of liquid a funnel X can handle per minute depends

entirely on the size of its neck. "Crowding" i t can result only in waste. Likewise, "crowding" the ordinary boiler — having limited heating surface — does not increase the warmth of a house. The excess fuel is simply wasted up the chimney.

One of the reasons the special H. B. Smith Mil ls Boiler is so ideally suited for oi l or gas burning is that i t has exceptionally large heating surf.ice. I t is the only boiler that can be crowded i f necessary. When the burner turns on, all the heat units are promptly absorbed and utilized to heat the house. Obviously, the result is minimum operation of the burner and lower fuel bills.

\'isitors to New York are cordially invited to inspect this distinctive Smith Boiler at the Sloanc's "House of Years." Installed in

this boiler is a Janitrol Automatic Gas Burner, manufactured by the Surface Combustion Corp., Toledo, Ohio, a subsidiary of Cities Service Corporation. Janitrol bu/ners are backed by experience gained from almost 50,000 installations and are made in a large range of types and sizes.

RADIATORS IN THE MODERN MANNER Left—Smith Midget Radi.ators —25% smaller than ordmary radiators of equal rated capacity. Ideally suited for use in the open or as concealed r.aJi.ition.

Right—Smith Humid-Heat Radiators (p.ircnt applied for) . Furnishes the required amount of radiator heat and automatically replenishes the air \vi th moisture.

op'-T wiuii-r storawo. the tubers wil l St for at least ten years. I have even town of one niagniliccnt specimen lich had a twentieth hirtliday and IS so large i l took two men to l i f t the t in which i t grew. To get a lengthy i)eriod of bloom— am June unti l frost—start the tubers to growth indoors at any time from hruary on. Sometimes it is difficult examining the tuber to tell which

|de is "up." Occasionally, in fact, a sastrous upside-down j)lanting is ide iiecause the rooting section, which dly enough is at the top of the bulb, is phintcd for the bottom. I f the top vity is not obvious, lay the tubers, fnrc planting, on mo.ss or on pieces carpi't or blanket—anything that wil l Id water—in a warm i)lacc unti l they vc sjjrouied. Sometimes this wil l take veral weeks. Then plant each tui)er paralely in a three-inch pot. Prepare a light soil of garden loam, ifmold or its readily found suhsti-

itc. well-chopped turfy matter scraped oni the bottom of old lawn or i)asture d, and about ten per cent of sand,

niess the loam itself is sandy. Do not ive fertilizer unt i l the plants are well labli-shed and old enough for a richer

j rmuki . Plant the tut)ers, concave side p, about an inch deep. See that each ot is well supjdied with drainage—an rching piece of crock over the pot ole and a few cinders or pebbles above —and do not let the soil dry out nor t stay soggy. A moderately moist con-

il ion is the ideal wi th an increase in ater after active growth begins.

I ' E i m i . i / i x i ;

\ \ ' l u n the plant is well rooted i l wi l l time enojgh to begin giving fre-

[uent apiilications of weak liquid fcr-ilizer. For this dried sheep or shn dilrd attle manure may be mixed with water

allowed to stand for at least a ay unti l i l is well dissolved, .•\pply

then, further diluted to a light col-, about once every fortnight . .M>i)ut mid-May. or at the time when e trees are leafing out and danger of

•ost is itast, the started llegonia plants nay be lran.s])!anled outside to terrace

box or garden. I f the bi-d is worked a spade-length down and the garden .soil made up half of loam and half of leaf-mold or peatmoss, excellent r(-sults may be cx]iccted. Fertilize the outdoor bed wi th top dressings about every two weeks after the Begonias are growing there.

I f the T'.egoi\ias are desired for pot |d:inls, they should be shifted to five-ini h pots or three placed in a seven-inch iiot as soon as they begin to fill

the first container with roots. Do not wail to tran.splant unti l the plants are badly i:>ot-bound or growth may be severely checked. The same soil mixture wi l l do for the shifted plant as for the dormant tuber but extra food may be given b y means of the liquid manure.

I t is al.so possible to plant Tuberous-rooted Begonias flircctly out-of-doors later in the .sea.son. The plants and lilo.ssoms w i l l be just as fine but flowering w i l l be four to five weeks later, beginning late in July or August. The tubers can be .set out in early May while the weather is still cool. L i^h t frost w i l l not harm them as it would ihc growing plant.

n A N D I . I X C SEICD

Tuberous-rooted Begonias may al.so be raised from seed which wi l l develop into plants of Idooming size at the end of the first season. Seed should b e sown in a shaded flat as early as February or March in a temperature of aliout sixty degrees. Only one who has had s o m e previous e x i J c r i e n c c and

success w i t h starting seeds indoors, however, should attempt this rather tedious means of developing tubers.

The proper method o f winter storage is important for the preservation of the llegonias over a number of years. I f t h e y arc grown i n pots, bring these in after the first touch of frost and store them in a cool cellar where the tem-jierature is between forty and fifty degrees. .'Xny room where potatoes can be kept wi l l be safe for the Begonia tubers. I n the spring w h e n you wish to start them into growth again, repot the tubers and contuuie the cycle as before.

I f the tubers have been growing in open garden beds, l i f t them afi i ' r early frost has checked their growth. Handle the roots carefully, sjireading them out to dry in some frost-jjroof place for two or three weeks. When all signs of succulence have disappeared, store the tubers in boxes of dry soil, rather than sand, jjrescrving the long roots as far as possible. I n spring the worthless sections of these wi l l easily drop off and their position wi l l be a key to the proper repotting of the bulbs. Keep the box in the same temperature as the potted plants, ^\'atering through the winter season is not necessary i n either case.

W'hh so much to recommend it the Tuberou.s-rooted Begonia sliould be far more fre(|uently ]ilanted. Indeeil, it w i l l often prove to he just the flowering plant required for some shaded spot that has previously jirovcd deter-nnnedlv barren.

Even the.se later rains may be so slight that the plant is only an inch or two tall at its flowering time, .'^purred into activity by the impciidini; dry season (whicli it seems to know all about) and ileterniined to rouiiil out its life-cycle before it is caught, it .speeds up, bursts inio bloom, sets, matures and s p i l l s i t s s e e i l . a l l in the greatest

From this it wil l l ie seen lhat the im|)Oiiant periods in the culture of native California annuals are the early stages of growth. Keep the seedlini;s f r o m drying out when they are small, but al the same lime provide ample drainas^e. I f this is done, the iilant, afier it is a few inches tall, wi l l take care of itself, needing only protection f r o m weeds. Your late .spring and summer rains, if not abnormally heavy, wi l l not inconvenience the Californian guests unless you have failed in the matter of drainaRC. It nnisl always be kept in mind that most native plains of California have long taproots which require light soil for iheir ].)eneiraii(in. .•Mso that sandy .soil is a .security against the dangerous light collar around the stem.

The seed of most ainuials should be sown in its permanent position after all fear of frost is past. Many species wi l l stand .some frost. Some wi l l nut. The soil should be dry enough to crum-blir freely. Rake the seed in slightly, to barely cover it . The heavier the soil, the lighter should be the covering. Let the rain and sunshine do the rest. I f the clrainai;e is good and the soil light, if the Inrds eat neither the seeds nor the seedlings and the weeds do not choke ihe newcomers, succes.s—and satisfact ion—wil l be yours. I t can be done, for it has been done. Rut not often enough. The.se new residents ask neither for summer watering nor for cultivation, neither for rich .soil nor for pampering.

I t averages hul len inches in height and forms a spreading plant. e\ery branch of whicI ends in a raceme crowded with fra-1 grant blue and while (sometimes l.ilue ami yellow) llowers. which assume a lilac shade al maturity. This Lupine luis many varieties, each in its jar t icular section of California. It is a splendid annual for combinations and is lovely when grown with cream Es-chscholizias or with the lovely little cream (or corn) colored Poppy Flaly-stciiit)n caliiornicu.''. with slender hairy stems and noilding Ituds. This Lupine wi l l en<luri; a heavier soil than many ainmals but wil l do lietter in a light .soil and wi l l be happy either in sun or half shade. In cultivation it is a good companion plant to the beller-kiiown golden-flowered Bla/ing .Star, Mcnt-zrlia liiitllryi (liarlonia aurra).

Lupiuus <!( )i.ujloru.s and its varieties form a \er\' interesting as-semblage, each member preferring a special native localhy. The type is fairly upstanding, has flowers in shades of lilac and rose, and keeps pretty closely to the coast. L . (Icnsillorua var. laclcus sweeps

'" Stream-linedirain is a leac o t le irst locomotive

EV E R Y T l M E a radically better way of doing something comes

along—like this stream-lined train, or the G - E Oil Furnace—the same thing happens. A lot of people get caught with the old design just as it becomes obsolete.

That is happening today in the oil heating field. If you choose an attachment oil burner instead of this complete, coordinated heating unit, you are being unfair to yourself. You are buying something as out-of-date as a cooling unit in an old wooden icebox.

Not only that, but you are depriving yourself of the 25% average fuel saving that is enjoyed by many

G - E Oil Furnace users who previously had attachment type burners. And you are depriving yourself of a kind of comfort such as you never thought possible.

You get a lot more for your money in this furnace. You have year-round automatic hot water. You have such exclusive advantages as the G-E Thermal Control, 4-second flame detector, and the arc-welded steel boiler.

Don't be penny wise and pound foolish in choosing automatic heat. Before you take any action, get the facts about the G-EOil Furnace .This you owe to yourself. Write or phone if you can't visit the showroom.

NE V E R before has any wall material hlentlecl so perfectly the charm of good looks with the

(|ualitics of practiral utility. W alls of Carrara Structural Glass in vour bathroom not only fascinate tfie heliokler bv their polished, reflective loveliness and their rich, inrllow color-Ioiies. hut also fulfill with eminent success those practical requirements which bathroom walls should have to be thoroughly satisfactory.

They will not craze, check, discolor with age, or absorb bathroom odors. To keep them spotlessly clean, an o< • < asi()nal wiping with a damp

cloth suffices. By Carrara's aid. you can remodel \our present bathroom with a welcome minimum of plaster dust and disorder . . . because Carrara Walls can usuallv he installed dirccllv over vour (dd walls. V't uilli all their advantages, walls of Carrara Structural Glass cost very little more than walls of ordinary materials.
