Winfield Raspberry 
During ten years of testing this ““ Winfield Rasp- 
berry” has proved in hardiness and productive- 
ness that it leads all other varieties and 
Is the “King of Blackcaps” 
The fruit is of enormous size, single berries often 
covering a quarter. Four to six great clusters 
are produced on each cane, averaging from three 
to six quarts to the plant. The fruit is frm, 
Sweet, Rich and Juicy 
Seeds very small, fine flavor. Bush is healthy and very 
vigorous, making robust stocky canes, easily supporting 
their heavy loads. Not troubled with rust or anthracnose. 
Ripens ten days earlier than Kansas and continues until 
Kansas is gone. Succeeds on all soils. Has never winter 
killed through ten seasons’ fruiting, and stands extreme 
droughts. 
Great for Home Use 
and its firmness and size make it unexcelled for market. 
Easily sells for 5cc to $1.00 more a crate than other Rasp_ 
berries. Easily grown, bears quick and never misses a crop

Garden and Farm 
Almanac for 1916 
OT one of the 200 pages of this 
almanac contains anything but 
information that is vital and neces- 
sary to the man who would keep his 
farm or garden up to date. One fea- 
ture is a collection of 25 blueprints 
giving practical plans for the country 
home and its garden. There are 
directions for combating any of the 
plant diseases and insects common 
to North America. All of the statis- 
tical information which the farmer 
should have has been brought to- 
gether. Illustrations are numerous.

vantage. As a rule hens are more or less the 
cause of many a heartache to the gardener. 
But, by separating the raspberry patch from 
the lawn proper with four-foot chicken wire 
and by opening the gate to the henyard which 
stands at the end of the lattice work, the hens 
were given the run of the berry patch before 
and after the fruit season. This furnished the 
hens an excellent scratching and dusting place, 
the young sucker plants supplied them with a 
succulent green feed in the spring, and their 
scratching kept the canes from spreading. 
Practically the only labor bestowed on the 
patch apart from picking the fruit consists in 
cutting out the dead stalks and trimming back 
the new shoots which are the great fruit bear- 
ers during the following season.

Doorways to the Garden 
HE connection between house and 
garden explained on page 176 is 
almost a necessity if the garden is to 
preserve its true relationship as a part 
of the general scheme. 
In general the same considerations 
govern the doorways to the garden 
which govern other doors; they should 
be well placed and appropriately de- 
signed, and yet we can stand in our 
gardens things of less regular, less for- 
mal and (with bated breath I say it) 
less sensible character than those which 
we demand in our houses. 
The garden gateway in the remaining 
picture (p.-176) is a sort of thing which 
could not be attached to the house, and 
yet it is well enough as a framework for 
vines. These frames are not made to be 
seen too much, and yet cannot be designed 
with the idea that they will be com- 
pletely covered up: some unexpected 
odds and ends of them are always going 
to stick out, even in the summertime; 
and of course in the winter they are apt 
to be pretty bare, therefore they should 
be carefully designed throughout so that 
whatever part of them is seen is pleas- 
ant and amusing. That is perhaps 
after all the spirit in which garden 
architecture should be designed, it 
should be pleasantly gay, not sober nor 
serious; dignified if you like, and cer- 
tainly not trivial. With the exception 
of certain of the very wonderful pieces 
of garden architecture of France and 
Italy the most successful of all gardens 
have had this quality. Some of the 
famous Italian gardens had certain feat- 
ures in which the designers sought to 
produce the effect of the grotesque and 
monstrous, by comparison with the 
lightness and gaiety of the trees and 
flowers, but the day of such gigantesque 
gardens is pretty well past. 
We are all learning to work together 
a little better in our houses. The archi- 
tect, it seems to me, has a little more 
confidence in the opinions of his cli- 
ents than used to be the case, prob- 
ably because the client’s opinions are 
better worth having than they used to 
be, and I find there is an increasing 
tendency on the part of the client to 
consult with professionals in very many 
points for which formerly no profes- 
sionals were-thought to be needed. It 
' ig a very small house now that does not 
have an architect, and people are find- 
ing that they can get curtains plus taste 
from a decorator as cheaply as they can 
get curtains sold from a department 
store.
