is a distinct type of willow furniture at once clever and original in design bi : 
and workmanship. It is not a copy; it is a precedent. Consequently it 
is being extensively imitated, as all good things are. Naturally the imitations 
are cheap, unsatisfactory productions, built for the moment. ‘‘Willowcraft’’ 
is built to satisfy the most artistic tastes and give a lifetime of service. 
Ask your dealer for genuine ‘‘Willowcraft.’’ Look for the ‘‘Willowcraft’’

AMERICAN HOMES AND GARDENS 
July, 1911 
FIG TREES IN THE SOUTH 
VERY home in the South, however 
~, small, should have one or more fig 
~ trees, for they are so easily grown, 
and produce three abundant crops each 
year. 
To protect from frost always plant on a 
sunny exposure and enrich the soil well, 
for, although they do very well without 
care, they prosper by cultivation. They are 
easily started from cuttings planted late in 
the fall, and remember that they will bear 
the second year if the central bud be 
pinched off early in the second spring. 
The little trees produce three crops every 
summer, the first being among the earliest 
fruits to ripen, and there is never a time 
in the summer when they are wholly with- 
out fruit. The crop of July and August is 
the largest, while the last, gathered late in 
the fall, when fresh fruits are scarce, is the 
sweetest of all, though the figs are smaller 
in size. 
From five bushy trees in her back yard 
a lady sold $50.00 worth last year, besides 
having all that she needed for preserving 
and eating in the home. 
The fruit cannot well be shipped in its 
fresh state, but is most easily preserved or 
dried and is well worth cultivating even on 
a small scale. 
A GARDEN SLATE 
GARDEN slate is one of the great- 
est joys to children when they have 
outgrown the sand-pile, and it is 
such an easy thing to put in. For this 
procure a large piece of slate any, 
size from two to five feet square, from 
the stone-cutter’s establishment. Select 
a pretty, shady part of the lawn and em- 
bed it in the grass. It looks pretty with 
the grass growing close around its edges, 
and the children invariably gather about it, 
not only using it for a tally sheet in their 
various games, but drawing upon it all 
manner of pictures. 
Let them keep their box of crayons in 
some handy outdoor nook, and in it several 
erasers and colored crayons as well as 
white. For out under the blue sky, with 
Nature for a teacher, the child’s fancy will 
find expression in painting its sketches. 
THE PAWPAW 
HE pawpaw is good for a back door 
garden, or anywhere that you 
throw slops or water; just where 
you would have a dahlia bed. The cran- 
berry and elder fill the odd corners, and 
you can let the barberry take care of it- 
self—which it will surely do. The mul- 
berry is long-lived, hearty, and likes 
the fat soils of swales and old gardens. 
The barberry is sometimes used for 
hedges, but this is not advisable, for the 
tree becomes bushy, and displays a ten- 
dency to die out in some of its shoots 
every year. Unless constantly watched 
and trimmed, it becomes unsightly. The 
cranberry or viburnum is brittle, and 
sometimes breaks in winter storms. The 
persimmon and mulberry alone require 
much room; each tree about twenty feet 
in diameter of space. Every one of the 
six affords bird food, which to the coun- 
try home maker is no small item. Our 
bird allies are to be provided for as much 
as our cows and horses; and this one will 
learn on getting anything like an ideal 
country home.
