 appointing to have the baby 

 tree die away.

 chosen with the utmost 

 care. Experience of over 

 a century has taught us how 

 to select and offer to you 

 those from which you will 

 get excellent results.

BUILDING BUNGALOWS 



(Continued.) 



unnecessary and we find ourselves with a 

 conventional and if the exterior design 

 follows " bungalow " character and lines 

 a thoroughly unsuccessful and ugly house. 



The buildings designed by Mr. Embury, 

 and illustrated here, are successful exam- 

 ples of one-story houses erected in various 

 parts of the country and arranged to meet 

 the requirements of occupancy and location 

 brought about by conditions of site and 

 location, and by the widely differing 

 personal needs of the families occupying 

 them. 



The object of the unusual arrangement 

 in plan of the two Boyd bungalows at 

 Southern Pines, North Carolina, for in- 

 stance, was to get certain conditions of 

 view and sunshine in the principal rooms, 

 with the possible entrances from the street 

 from what was practically the rear. These 

 houses, which cost about six thousand dol- 

 lars each, were built throughout of North 

 Carolina pine. The clapboards were laid 

 four and one-half inches to the weather 

 and the shingles four inches. The framing 

 timbers, interior and exterior door and 

 window trim, the doors, floors, etc., are 

 all North Carolina pine. 



In addition to considerations of design, 

 Mr. Embury used the material chosen be- 

 cause it was also the cheapest. "North 

 Carolina pine down there," he says, "was 

 then about seventeen dollars a thousand, 

 while everything else was much higher." 



The St. George Barber house at South 

 River, Maryland, illustrates the central liv- 

 ing-room type which has been mentioned 

 as the most successful "bungalow" plan. 

 The living-room is in the center of the 

 building, with wings at either side in close 

 connection with the central room and at 

 the same time entirely separated from each 

 other. 



The dining- and bed-rooms all have ex- 

 posures on three sides. The hall cuts off 

 by the simple closing of a door the bed- 

 room wing from the entire remainder of 

 the house. The bath-room is especially well 

 placed in its relation to the bed-rooms 

 adjoining it. 



If the room at the end of the wing, now 

 used as an office, was used as a bed-room, 

 some slight rearrangement of the bath- 

 room fixtures would make it possible to 

 enter the bath from the hall. A separate 

 porch for servants is provided with an 

 entrance to the kitchen. 



This house was built for about eight 

 thousand dollars. The shingles were laid 

 in random widths, and the finish is much 

 the same as in the Boyd houses.

SUGGESTIONS 



FOR 

 EFFECTIVE PLANTING 



AT last a book has been written which tells 

 what plants and trees and shrubs are 

 best adapted by Nature for each garden and 

 landscape and how to group them most 

 effectively. 



" Suggestions for Effective Planting " is not 

 the usual mechanical, deadly dull nursery 

 catalog. It is arranged in department. To 

 read it is like going over your problems with 

 an experienced plantsman and having the 

 proper materials listed for you.
