The perfect material and scientific principle of construction of the Sy-CLo 
Closet entirely overcomes the unpleasant and unsanitary features that make 
the ordinary closet a menace to health. 
The Sy-C1io Closet does away with 
the necessary care that makes the common closet a household burden. 
Study the sectional view of the Sy-CLo illustrated below. Notice 
the unusual extent of water surface in the bowl. No possibility of 
impurity adhering to the sides. 
always clean. 
That’s why the Sy-Cro is 
Unlike the ordinary closet, the Sy-C1Lo Closet has a 
double cleansing action, a combination of flush from 
above and a powerful pump-like pull from below. 
The downward rush of water creates a vacuum in 
the pipe into which the entire contents of the 
bowl is drawn with irresistible syphonic force. 
That’s why the Sy-Cio Closet is called 
- That 
Cleans Itself 
The sectional cut shows the deep water-seal that perpet- 
ually guards the household health by making impossible the 
escape of sewer gas, a subtle and often unsuspected poison. 
The material of the Sy-C1Lo Closet is heavy white china, hand 
moulded into a single piece. No joint, crack or crevice to retain im- 
purity. Nosurface to chip off or crack. Nothing to rust or corrode. Un- 
affected by water, acid or wear.

high it is mowed for the first time, to get it 
in shape. It is very hardy, and withstands 
the frosts, which are very severe at times. 
The winter lawn can be had for much less 
trouble. Rake into the summer lawn 500 
pounds of cotton seed meal to the acre, then 
sow and rake in one bushel of English 
rye grass to the acre. An iron-toothed 
rake is used for this. The lawn procured by 
this method is quite as good as the one which 
needs so much time and labor. Where there 
are only a few acres to plant, this is the 
better in every way. 
Under the trees, where the sun never strikes, 
the rye grass is not hardy. Mix two parts of 
English rye grass with three parts of white 
clover, to plant in the shady places. This 
lawn needs much more mowing than the 
Bermuda grass lawn. 
The English rye grass, although a perennial 
does not come up the second year, so must 
be resown every autumn. But the Bermuda 
grass comes up as soon as warm weather 
comes and the winter lawn dies before the 
scorching summer sun. It cannot stand the 
heat of the South, but the cold does not affect 
it. Of course, when you plow up the Ber- 
muda grass to plant the English rye grass, in 
the autumn, it will not come up unless it is 
planted again.

The Southerner’s Reminder 
6 Pee Southern planting season for trees, 
- shrubs, evergreens, vines, fruits, and 
hardy roses begins in November and reaches 
its climax in January. 
Set out lettuce and cabbage plants that are 
to stay outdoors all winter. Sow lettuce 
and cabbage in coldframes. Set out as- 
paragus roots and strawberry plants. Plant 
Dutch bulbs. 
Make the winter lawn by sowing English 
rye grass; the sooner the better. 
A Specimen Chrysanthemum 
Sut a plant as is shown on the cover 
design of this number of the GARDEN 
MaAGAzINE represents a degree of cultural skill 
that is very often undervalued by those who 
visit the fall flower shows when the chrysan- 
themum is to be seen at its best. 
Cuttings, from which full specimen plants 
like this are to be grown, are rooted in De- 
cember and from that time, until November, 
the plants demand constant attention; other- 
wise they will fail to develop fully. Plants 
which are to be grown to a single flower may 
be started later in the season. 
The perfect specimen plant is not only 
well and evenly formed, but the flowers 
should be evenly distributed over the entire 
surface, in not too formal a manner, and they 
must all be expanded at thesame time. The 
specimen illustrated, which was exhibited at 
one of the shows at the American Institute 
of the City of New York, carried 150 flowers. 
These are trained into their final positions grad- 
ually, the shoots being tied to wire frames as 
they develop. Readers who are specially 
interested in growing chrysanthemums should 
read Mr. I. L. Powell’s fully illustrated article 
in the May number of the GARDEN MAGAZINE.
