for any building— %\l 



for any institution— 

 any place— anywhere 



No matter where you want water, or how much 

 you want, or under what conditions you want 

 it, it will pay you to investigate the 



Kewanee System 

 of Water Supply 



No city water system provides better water supply 

 service. With your own private plant — a Kewanee 

 System — you can have an abundance of water de- 

 livered under strong pressure, to all your fixtures 

 and hydrants— to the bathroom, kitchen, laundry, 

 lawn, stables, garage— anywhere. 



Thousands of Kewanee Systems are in use 

 every day, year in and year out, for supplying 

 city, country and suburban homes, private and 

 public institutions, country clubs, schools, 

 apartment buildings, fraternal homes, factories, 

 towns, etc.

Underfloor Refuse Receiver 



Another gTeat problem has been what to do with. 

 Garbage in Winter. The or- 

 dinary garbage can frizes up, 

 and when the collector pounds Die 

 can to empty It, he ruins the can. 

 This is avoided by using the 

 Stephenson Underground 

 Garbage Receiver.

Grow Your Own Callas 



NOW that the calla has, and deservedly, a 

 vogue no longer restricted to funerals, it 

 is well to bear in mind the ease with which this 

 stately flower may be grown. 



In a large pot or tub it flourishes mightily in 

 an ordinary bay window, if kept well watered dur- 

 ing the blooming season; but the grandest of all 

 places for it — that is, wherever it must be grown 



Try growing a Calla lily in the window garden. 

 Keep it well watered while in bloom 



indoors — is an odd corner of a greenhouse or 

 potting-house. Take out a few feet of bench 

 plant the bulbs in good soil on the greenhouse 

 bottom, and then let them alone, excepting to 

 give them plenty of water in winter. 



A 5-foot bed arranged in this fashion, and left 

 undisturbed half a dozen years or so, produced 

 more than one hundred and fifty large blooms 

 last winter; and all of them, with some of the 

 foliage, commanded a good enough price to more 

 than equal a fair return for the space used.

An Interesting Plant 



THE blackberry lily (Belemcanda Sinensis, or 

 Pardanthus) is a fascinating old hardy plant. 

 It belongs to the iris family, but the fruits 

 look like a blackberry. It is very interesting to 

 see the orange-colored flowers twist and untwist.
