‘ The Only Shade MadeWith a Ventilator ” 
I N partitioned privacy, cooled by 
drifting breezes, deep, refreshing 
sleep comes easily to the occu- 
pant of a Vudor Shaded Porch. All 
the joys of sleep in the open, yet 
fully closed against sight from the 
passers-by. 
No other shades have Vudor advan- 
tages. Canvas drops are stuffy, heat 
conducting and they soil and become 
unsightly quickly, besides being hard 
to manage in spring and fall. Fragile 
bamboo screens neither shade nor pro- 
tect from view. 
Vudor Shades are self-hanging and venti- 
lating — they are made of wood slats beauti- 
fully stained ; are lasting and practical — they 
make any porch breezy, cool and comfortable — 
day or night.

and name of your local dealer.

each flower proposed for adoption would get 
people, especially the little people, interested 
in the flower itself. Think of the wealth of 
flowers we might have, and the pitiful few we do 
have! Well, it is never too late to mend; so 
in the year of 1921 let us dig, hoe, rake, plant, 
and sprinkle twice as hard as ever before! Get 
some organization or group of people in your 
town together, choose a community flower, and 
then do all you can to popularize the idea. In 
other words help make the dream of “flowers, 
flowers everywhere,” come true!

THE BEST WAY TO FEED 
PLANTS 
M ANY kinds of plants benefit hugely at 
certain periods by an application of liquid 
manure. There is no better way of being sure 
that the specimen gets the greatest amount of 
good than that shown in the photograph. Quite 
close to the main stem of the plant, a hole is 
EFFECTIVE APPLICATION 
This simple method prevents waste and 
carries the liquid fertilizer down to the 
region of the roots where most needed 
opened up; this should be deep enough to sink 
a pot in. The liquid is poured into the pot and 
it slowly filters down through the hole in the 
bottom. In this way the liquid is prevented 
from running all over the soil, a common happen- 
ing in the case of applications given in the ordin- 
ary way. — S. Leonard Bastin.
