THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



Mat, 190 1 ; 





Wall Cover- 

 ings, to be effective, 

 must harmonize with sur- 

 rounding influences — furnish- 

 ings, woodwork, and color 

 effects of nearby rooms. The 

 simplest effects are the most 

 artistic and therefore most rest- 

 ful and pleasing to the eye. 



The most charming of deco- 

 rative schemes are effected by 

 the use of 



FABRIKONA 



(trade mark) 



WOVEN WALL COVERINGS 



These fabrics are woven in 

 a wide variety of permanent 

 shades and are the most artistic 

 Wall Coverings now made.

 Artists where refined mural 

 effects are desired. FAB-RI- 

 KO-NA is strong, durable, fast 

 color, and easily hung. Pre- 

 vents walls from cracking and 

 is not easily scratched or torn. 



We offer a special service to any- 

 one who asks for it. Cur experts 

 will devise a color scheme suited to 

 your needs, so that you can see act- 

 ual samples of FAB-RI-KO-NA in 

 actual colors, contrasted with wood- 

 work in natural shades — thus giving 

 a reproduction of your wall in min- 

 iature.

 about this special and valu- 

 able service.

giving it a 3 -inch thick dressing of well- 

 decayed manure, and dig it well into the soil 

 with a spading fork. Set the bulbs deep 

 enough so that the base of the neck of the 

 bulb will be two inches below the surface of 

 the soil. It is better to allow these bulbs 

 to remain in the same place for years with 

 the roots undisturbed. After the new leaves 

 commence to push out, mulch the soil around 

 the bulbs with old manure and water from 

 over-head. 



There are many new varieties of these beau- 

 tiful plants, and now is the time to purchase 

 them, as there is no danger of their being 

 frozen in transit. Any other plants belonging 

 to this family, such as the imantophyllum, 

 crinum, vallota, and agapanthus may now be 

 planted and they require the same treatment. 



All perennials may now be rearranged in 

 the border and new varieties planted. There 

 is a pecularity about these plants; most of 

 them, when brought from the East, make 

 shabby-looking plants the first year, but 

 after they become acclimated, they grow as 

 well as they do in the East. Chose a partly 

 shaded location for them and mulch the 

 ground to keep it cool.

Tomato Vines Thirty Feet Long 



HPHE accompanying picture shows three 

 -*- tomato vines that are thirty feet long. 

 The trellis is twenty feet high and the vines 

 hang down from the top half way to the 

 ground. The vines bore flowers, green fruit 



Where a ladder becomes necessary to gather the 

 lomato crop. In California the tomato may be re- 

 garded as an ornamental plant as well as a useful 

 vegetable 



and ripe fruit all at once and fruited for 

 several months, at Pasadena, where they 

 were grown by Mr. F. C. Case. The photo-
