ber of charming vines and climbers. Roses 
in great variety, honeysuckles, akebia, cle¬ 
matis in variety and aristolochia or 
Dutchman's pipe. 
In conclusion let me add one word of 
caution concerning grouping. As the 
porch finish must necessarily be stiff and 
formal, overcome the effect and produce 
harmony by a natural grouping of your 
plants. Do not make straight beds parallel 
with the porch, unless ground is decidedly 
limited, and arrange the tall shrubs in the 
background in a way that will tend to dis¬ 
tribute differences in height and give an 
informal effect to the finished planting. 
The New Wall-Papers 
(Continued from page 220) 
In this hasty review of salient new 
papers, we have not paused to consider de¬ 
tails of coloring. Each season brings to 
the fore some favored tone, although it is 
not arbitrary. One chosen shade for the 
months ahead has been alluded to; it is a 
soft, warm, quiet mulberry. Happily it is 
apt to suit the complexion, a consideration 
to be thought of in wall-papers as in 
gowns. Blues also have been mentioned, 
and these enjoy growing favor. Yellows 
and browns are always good, while off- 
shades, like burnt orange, have a special 
decorative value. 
Art in wall-papers has developed to 
such a degree that their hanging is no 
longer a simple matter. The use of papers 
together, the cutting out and applying of 
crowns and motifs, the adaptation of 
panels to wall formations and even pic¬ 
tures—these and other elements require a 
high degree of taste and skill for their 
proper handling. All of this tends to ele¬ 
vate this interesting and worthy craft in 
all its departments, not only in that of the 
designer and manufacturer, but in that of 
the paperhanger as well. No doubt very 
fine achievements along these lines will be 
witnessed in the future; but without going 
into them, we are sufficiently glad to 
avail ourselves of the charming opportuni¬ 
ties of the present. 
The Twelve Best Perennials to 
Plant Now 
(Continued from page 223) 
not only for their spicy June bloom, but 
because their bluish green foliage is beau¬ 
tiful even in winter. On slightly raised 
ground the plant endures indefinitely, but 
after a few years it is better to replace with 
new stock. For this I prefer cuttings, 
though seed brings new markings. After 
a while, cuttings will be so numerous that 
it will be possible to line a walk with the 
pinks, or make a row of them in the veg¬ 
etable garden for bouquet use.

What

for your 
House? 
A Primer for the man 
who U about to build 
a new house or maL an 
old home comfortable 
There need be no such 
thing as a cold room in any 
house if a steam or hot 
water heating equipment of the 
right kind is properly installed. 
The modern house is steam or hot water heated. No other method 
is so healthful, so easily cared for, so dependable, or so economically 
secured. Study house-heating before you plan the heating equipment 
of your new home, or change the equipment you have. 
Post yourself on Pierce Boilers and Radiators. Go to the steam- 
fitter who handles the Pierce line and have him explain the con¬ 
struction of a Pierce Boiler—its durability, its simplicity of operation, 
its fuel economy, and its wonderful steam or hot water producing 
ability. And, as a beginning, send for our free Heat Primer, 
“What Heat for Your House? 
A book that tells in simple language allabout allkinds of heat, and shows 
the way to get all the clean, healthful heat you want at a minimum cost.
