An Attractive Home Means 
Contentment 
Keep the children 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 this work, is familiar with Wiscon- 
sin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery 
stock in the state to select from.

Garden land should be plowed 
late in fall and left rough. This will 
destroy many insects, allow the 
water to go deep into the soil and 
give a chance for sod or green man- 
ure to decay. 
Dig a few hills of rhubarb and 
let them freeze outside for a few 
weeks. Then they may be put in 
the cellar in soil, sand, or ashes, 
watered well, and shaded from sun- 
light, and will give some much ap- 
preciated sauce material during 
the winter.
