FOR THE HOME BEAUTIFUL 177 



This trellis is so very easily constructed, and so 

 beautiful that it seems worthy of special mention. 



This type of trellis may be constructed by 

 simply rip-sawing a good pine plank for possibly 

 four fifths of its length, with the sawed strips 

 spread apart and fastened into position to make a 

 fan shape. Use care to see that the trellis is well 

 and carefully painted and it will be found to last a 

 long time and to make a useful and beautiful lawn 

 fixture. 



Particularly will such a trellis be found useful 

 for supporting the large flowering Climbing Roses 

 and the Clematis, and it may 'be used with good 

 effect in front of the porch or on the lawn. Sev- 

 eral of them as a background to the perennial 

 border will be hard to beat. 



Hot Beds and Cold Frames are desirable and 

 useful adjuncts to the Home Beautiful, but they 

 are almost indispensable in the garden, and infor- 

 mation as to how to make them will no doubt be 

 much appreciated by many of our readers. 



Hot Beds will be found valuable for starting 

 early plantings of annual seed, such as asters, 

 scarlet sage, and other bedding plants, for giving 

 an early start to cannas, caladiums, etc., in pots, 

 for rooting cuttings, also for growing plants of 

 tomatoes, peppers, cabbages, etc., for transplant- 

 ing to the garden, and such early vegetables as 

 lettuce and radishes for the table in early spring.
