An Attractive Home Means 
Contentment 
Keep the ch.ldren at home by making 
them proud of it. The most effective 
and economical way to do this, is to 
beautify the lawn. Careful arrange- 
ment and good plants are essential. Our 
Landscape Department has specialized 
in th s work, is familiar with Wiscon- 
sin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery 
stock in the state to select from.

Delphiniums from seeds. The 
disappointment comes so often 
from poor seeds. No other kind 
of plants more easily bears trans- 
planting either in the spring or in 
the summer after the first bloom- 
ing period. Because of storms it 
is well to be prepared to stake the 
plants, especially if they are 
grown in the shrub border. If 
grown in the open with plenty of 
room for each plant they seldom 
go down. 
There is a distinct section 
called Chinese, with smaller 
growth and more finely divided 
foliage. This class includes the 
Siberian. In this class may be 
had an abundance of clear white 
as well as various shades of blue 
and purple. If kept cultivated in 
the summer and given slight pro- 
tection in the winter the Delphin- 
iums are very enduring and will 
stay by one for many years.
