Bad Spots Covered 

 With Wild Flowers 



Often an eyesore in your estate is a 

 spot of ground that refuses to grow 

 anything to admire. We can sort you 

 out with beautiful things that defy 

 poor soil, shallow soil or poor and 

 excessive moisture or any other com- 

 bination. Write all about it to

trovernment and those welfare societies 

 working have split the funds needed to 

 t'arry out the relief work," Mr. Moon 

 said in an interview upon his return. 

 "In the fall a drive will be taken up 

 among the German-American population 

 of this country to raise $3,000,000. 

 When this is done, another $3,000,000 

 will be asked from the German govern- 

 ment. When I first arrived there the 

 condition of the children, both physi- 

 cally and mentally, was appalling. One 

 can hardly realize how much these poor 

 souls were in need of food, clothing and 

 medical attention. Boys and girls 10 

 years old had the physical appearance 

 of children three or four years younger. 

 The mental condition was nearly as 

 bad." 



Discussing the attitude of the Ger- 

 mans toward the allied nations, he said 

 that, after interviewing numerous per- 

 .sons, he thought the attitude at present 

 favored America. 



"The people have taken their defeat 

 philosophically," he said, "and are do- 

 ing their best to restore the industries 

 to the prewar basis. In the Ruhr dis- 

 trict and those other districts which 

 have the raw materials for carrying on 

 business the industries are running to 

 the prewar capacity, l)ut in the textile 

 .sections, or wliere the raw materials 

 must be imported, the mills are nearly 

 all shut down. This is caused by the 

 inability of the manufacturer to get 

 <Tedit to ])urclias(' tlie raw material. 

 Krupp's are running very near their 

 <'apacity and are exporting many loco- 

 motives to Russia. 



"The younger geiier;ition, although 

 anxious to see Am(>rica, have taken the 

 only sensible outlook; that is, they un- 

 <lerstand that everybody must do his 

 utmost to restore the 'Fatherland' to 

 its former status, and they must stay 

 and do their part. The world empire, 

 the dream of the Hohenzollerns, has 

 been entirely squelched, and the people 

 seem to be ])'erfectly satisfied with being 

 one of the great .powers. A large loan,

 covered with si.x inches of fine sand, 

 screened gravel and a little loam mixed. 

 Tlie frame is old and not absolutely air- 

 tight. I used a muslin shade three feet

 times three incht's deep. They were 

 watered daily. The bed was shaded by 

 a tree in the afternoon. A green mold 

 formed in part of the bed on the surface 

 of the sand. The cuttings have not 

 formed calluses and nearly all have 

 damjied off or dried up.
