July, 19 11 



The modesty of every gentle woman is offended be- 

 fore others by the gurgling and noisy flushing of an 

 old style closet. No room in the house seems free from 

 these embarrassing sounds. 



You can rid your home of this annoyance by telling 

 your plumber to put in a 



"SIWELCLO" 



Noiseless Siphon Jet 



CLOSET 



The siphoning is done so noiselessly, quickly and 

 thoroughly that, even with the lid raised, the flushing 

 will not be heard outside of its immediate environment. 



The durability and perfect action of the " Siwelco " 

 is assured because each fixture is stamped with " the 

 star within the circle " trade mark.

Transplanting Zinnias in July 



1AST year we had planned an effect of dwarf 

 ■J zinnias of many varieties and colors for mid- 

 summer and autumn blooming. Some alterations 

 which we were making to the house had dragged 

 along into the hot July weather. The middle of the 

 month saw our grounds still in disorder and car- 

 penters and painters tramping over the ground 

 where the flowers should have been. 



The seeds had been sown in a corner of the 

 vegetable garden. The seedlings, left long after 

 the usual time for replanting, had grown tall and 

 slender and most of them were in bloom. Former 

 experience led us to doubt the widsom of disturb- 

 ing zinnias at this stage of their growth, for as 



July-transplanted zinnias which owe their lives to 

 profuse waterings 



every one knows, zinnias lack backbone and grit. 

 They suddenly collapse and droop their silly heads 

 at the slightest provocation and when they have 

 shrivelled and dropped their leaves one, by one, 

 they stand in all their nakedness and seem to say 

 "Now, see what you have done!" 



Late in July the beds were ready and on one of 

 the hottest, driest days the blooming plants were 

 moved. Ail the earth was shaken from the roots 

 as they had grown so crowded together. The 

 beds were exposed to the sun from early morning 

 until late in the afternoon but no protection was 

 given to the plants. If cut flowers with their stems 

 in water will last for days without wilting, why 

 may not one expect plants to do even better if put 

 in the ground and kept very wet? 



The zinnias were watered in the early morning 

 until the water ran in little rivulets around them. 

 This was repeated at ten or eleven o'clock when 

 the heat was intense, and again at sundown. The 

 slightest indication of wilting was a signal for more 

 water, until at the end of a week or more the plants 

 had become well rooted and showed no further 

 signs of drooping.

A Rose of Two Seasons 



THERE is one rambler rose that should be 

 planted not merely for its blossoms but for 

 its fruit as well. This is the ordinary single white 

 rambler, which, doubtless because it is endowed 

 with neither color nor multiplication of petals, 

 is not seen so often as early summer would find 

 to its advantage. Both when in flower and in 

 fruit, this is a most valuable rose for walls, fences, 

 and banks, but nowhere have I seen so fine an 

 effect created with it as by the use of a single plant 

 by the side of a gray boulder, about six feet high 

 and wide. The rambler inclined naturally to the 

 rock and though not particularly conspicuous 

 in early summer, was strikingly showy late in 

 September. Then a larger loose cluster of small 

 scarlet fruit terminated each shoot of the old wood, 

 from which the foliage had fallen, and over this 

 blaze of red the new growth made an irregular 

 lattice of green. B. G.
