HEALTH 
HEAT 
BECAUSE the Kelsey Health Heat, heats with 
^ warm air. it’s often mistakenly called a fur- 
nace heat. 
Steam heat, just as surely hears by heating the 
air; still it’s not called a furnace heat. 
Furnace heats as you know, are fickle. The 
blowing of the wind from one direction or another 
makes them peevish; they fail to deliver. 
The Kelsey Warm Air Generator, however, is 
not temperamental. It is dependable at all times 
in all winds and weathers. 
It delivers large volumes of healthily heated, 
dust-free, fresh moist air. 
It will completely change the air in your rooms 
every 15 minutes. It ventilates as well as heats. 
Plenty of heat, plenty of fresh air without eithrr 
stuffiness or drafts. Its economy we can prove to 
your entire satisfaction. ?'or heating facts in gen- 
eral, send for our booklet **Some Saving Sense.”

side; Royal George, large and deep red on the sunny 
side; Grosse Mignonne, large, round and pale yellow, 
and Sterling Castle, medium in size with a marble- 
red cheek. These four varieties, ripening in the 
order named, provide an abundance of fruit from 
early .August until frost. Many other kinds find 
favor in England, but it is doubtful if a better 
choice could be made for this country. Being 
designed wholly for home consumption, the peaches 
are allowed to remain on the trees until they are at 
their best and then they are gathered by means of a 
padded, cup-shaped fruit picker with a short handle. 
The quality of these peaches is unsurpasSfed. 
There is a long perennial garden in front of the 
espalier wall, entirely screening the lower part of the 
trees. .\t one end of this garden are several speci- 
mens of box quite as large as those at .Mt. Vernon. 
Back of the wall is the vegetable garden, which is 
reached through a pretty little colonial porch, and 
close by is a planting of vigorous Rhododendrons. \ 
flight of stone steps leads to the crest of the hill, be- 
yond which are fields of well-tilled crops. .Alto- 
gether, this unpretentious estate, with its curiously 
English aspect, is wholly charming.

“Laundn^ Style” Plant Labels 
D id you ever, on the arrival of Jack Frost, dig 
your summer bulbs such as Dahlia, Gladiolus, 
and Canna, place them just where you thought you 
could remember them, marking in your mind, ac- 
cording to their container or position placed, which 
was which — pet variety here, extra pet there, and 
the least desirable ones over in a corner.' Then, 
some time in the long ages between fall harvest and 
spring planting, did somebody rummage round and 
move those tubers and bulbs so that by spring you 
did not know which was which, with the result that 
you gave away most of t'our pet varieties and planted 
lavishly of the ven' ones that you meant to discard. 
That was my experience two years ago. I had 
purchased really choice tubers and bulbs. I felt 
quite confident that fall when I stored them away in 
the cellar, that I could easily remember which was 
which. That winter, when I was away on a visit, 
my husband gave the cellar a general cleaning. He 
moved and rearranged everything, including my 
bulbs. The next summer my garden was quite a 
disappointment to me inasmuch as some of the 
tubers and corms I gave awaj' later proved to be 
those of my extra pet varieties. 
I then set about to discover some effective yet in- 
expensive and simple manner by which to identify 
them. It came to me like an inspiration one day 
while I was making some white linen waists. Why 
not use the scraps? I cut the material (smooth 
cloth like linen, long-cloth, cambric or muslin is best) 
into strips an inch to an inch and a quarter wide, and 
six or eight inches long. one end I cut a gash 
three quarters of an inch long, with the weave of the 
material, and took a stitch or two across the ends 
allowing the thread to follow the outline of the slit, 
exactly as one prepares a buttonhole. This is done 
to prevent the tearing out of the hole. .'\t the other 
end of the strip I write the name of the variety of 
flower ill indelible ink. 1 his identification tag is fas- 
tened around the stalk of the plant above a leaf, 
blade or shoot, not too tightly, and high enough not 
to get mud spattered during rain, the end with the 
name upon it slipping through the end with the slit. 
In working in the garden I have only to read the 
name on the loose end of the cotton strip to know 
variety, the indelible ink writing never washes out 
and, as the cloth tag hangs limply against the stalk, 
it is inconspicuous. When I dig m3' tubers in the 
fall I cut off the tops above where the strips are 
fastened, and tighten them to prevent their becom- 
ing loose. Then the clumps ma3’ be stored an%'- 
where and, so long as the little “laundr\- style” 
markers remain attached, their identification is safe. 
On m>' Tea Roses I have tags that are more than a 
year old and are still good, having gone through the 
winter in better shape than did the Roses themselves. 
Even when planting in the spring I still use the 
tags h\' putting a stake beside the first bulbs of a 
separate variett’ as a flag pole on which to attach my 
little pennant until the plants are large enough to 
receive their individual markers, which though 
absolutel>’ the cheapest thing one could devise are 
yet the most effective I ever used.
