Hunt Big Game 
Don’t hesitate because inexperienced. Go this 
year, while there are still a few places left where 
you will see game that has never been hunted and 
have your hunting all to yourself. I can show 
you Mountain Sheep, Caribou, Moose, Grizzly 
Bears, in a country where no other white man has 
ever been and the game has not become dwarfed 
from the conditions which always arise after 
hunting is started. I make all arrangements, and 
personally manage expedition, preserve trophies, 
etc., as hunter companion; advise as to purchase 
of fire-arms and cameras and give instruction in 
shooting and wild game photography. References.

directly from the kitchen, as it lessens the 
valuable wall space. The rooms directly 
over the kitchen can best be utilized in 
most cases for servants’ sleeping rooms, 
as they are often objectionable for mem¬ 
bers of the household, or guests. 
Getting Acquainted with the July 
Flowers and Seeds 
(Continued from page 22.) 
with maroon or carmine, bearing the gold¬ 
en stripe down the center to set off the 
conspicuous maroon anthers. Beware of 
this famous beauty, though, for it too 
often repays all your care and feeding by 
dying slowly out. Really the only sure 
way of saving it in bloom is to buy fresh 
bulbs each year and set them either in 
pots in the cold frame or in the open 
ground as soon as it can be worked in the 
early spring. Another lily you should 
learn to know this month is Liffum spe- 
ciosum, somewhat like the gold-banded 
lily in form, but smaller, with a waxy tex¬ 
ture, charming fragrance, pure white in 
color with purplish spots on the reflexed 
petals. From three to ten flowers appear 
on a single stalk. Then a neighbor may 
present you to what he calls the day lily, 
which in reality does not belong to the lily 
family at all; it’s botanial name is Fiinkia 
snbeordata, and it is a tuberous-rooted 
plant bearing many stalks of its long, 
white, funnel-shaped fragrant flowers. 
Then there is also a yellow day lily, in 
bloom before this month (Henterocallis 
Hava) , having the same sort of funnel- 
shaped flowers, three to eight on a stalk, 
but of a pale golden yellow color, also 
fragrant. 
Monkshood ( Aconitum Napellus ). — 
During this month and next you should 
make the acquaintance of this princess 
among the too few really beautiful blue 
flowers. In general habit it resembles the 
more widely known larkspur, but with a 
curious hooded flower that gives it its name. 
Unfortunately it is a poisonous plant, with 
some danger to children and those who 
know it not, hence its rather infrequent 
appearance in our gardens. 
Phlox. — You will meet two kinds of 
phlox in your quest, without doubt, for the 
perennial sort, Phlox paniculata, is one of 
the most common and dependable of gar¬ 
den favorites. There are all colors to be 
found in the large flower clusters with the 
exceptions of blue and yellow. Of lower 
growth and earlier bloom is the annual 
phlox. Phlox Drummondi, which may be 
found in red, crimson, primrose and white, 
the flowers borne in profusion in a spread¬ 
ing bushy tuft. 
Hollyhock ( Althea rosea). —Few peo¬ 
ple, even among the garden novices, will 
need an introduction to this old-time fa¬ 
vorite of vigorous, stately growth and 
luxuriant bloom. The plant is a biennial, 
but perpetuates itself so freely by offsets 
and self-sowing that, once established in 
deep, rich soil, it will hold its place indef¬ 
initely. By all means note the simple beau-
