HOME AND GARDEN 



in late summer no leaf-accompaniment that I can think 

 of is better than the young summer shoots of Oak, 

 richly beautiful in their " subdued splendour " of 

 crimson and red and russet-bronze. 



Some 3^ears ago, seeing that there was a want of 

 flower-glasses of simple shape that would hold plenty 

 of water and would be moderate in price, I made 

 some designs which were taken up by a large firm 

 in the glass and china trade, Messrs. James Green & 

 Nephew, 107 Queen Victoria Street. Their " Mun- 

 stead " glasses made from these designs are already 

 widely known, but I am still so often asked for the 

 address that I give it here. They have a pattern 

 sheet that gives all particulars : the most useful shapes 

 are shown in the illustration opposite page 194.
