While it is too late now to transplant Evergreens, 
IT IS JUST THE RIGHT TIME 
to transplant Deciduous Trees, Shrubs, Roses, Hedges and Bulbs. 
ROSE HILL NURSERIES New Rochelle, N. Y. 
is from 25 to 36 inches, and their prices 
are from $1.50 to $2.50 a fold. Extra 
folds can be had for very large fireplaces 
on special order. The same screen can 
be furnished in solid nickel plate, bronze 
or dead black to match the other fireplace 
fixtures when desired. 
Still another variety of the fireplace 
screen is known as the spark arrestor; 
this is one flat section of wire neatly 
bound, to stand close against the frame¬ 
work of the fireplace, with slots in the 
bottom for the andirons. Still another 
type of folding screen is of the arts and 
crafts design with shield of fine brass 
wire held by brass framework with cast 
bolt heads; this is the proper screen for 
the craftsman type of fireplace. 
Next comes the wood basket, or what¬ 
ever receptacle is selected for storing 
wood near at hand while it is waiting to 
be offered up for sacrifice. In many 
houses of recent construction the wood 
box is carefully concealed under a win¬ 
dow-seat or under the settles of an ingle- 
nook, but where this arrangement is not 
possible there must be a wood box or 
basket. A fine wood box, not shown in 
the illustrations, is of solid quartered oak 
with hand-wrought steel hinges, handles 
and decorations. It is 36 inches long and 
costs $50. These wood boxes would hard¬ 
ly be the proper thing for many decora¬ 
tive schemes, but they go well with a 
majority of the modern fireplaces of brick 
or tile. They are not in any respect Co¬ 
lonial, and would be out of place in a 
Colonial room where the better thing is 
undoubtedly the less conspicuous basket. 
Another staunch friend of the olden 
time fireplace was the bellows. Present- 
day methods of fireplace construction, 
with their numerous ways of insuring per¬ 
fect draft, place the bellows among the 
implements that have become more orna¬ 
mental than useful, but still they are good 
friends to have on hand, and they do 
more than any other commonly known 
fireplace furnishing except the andirons 
and the tool sets to bring back the spirit 
of the olden days. Carved woods or ham¬ 
mered brass or copper are the common 
materials for bellows, and the design, 
when there is any, is usually quaint and 
often grotesque. 
In the time of our forefathers, when 
the fireplace was used for cooking as well 
as for heating, the crane and kettle were 
its most indispensable assets. Unfor¬ 
tunately we have no excuse now for these 
things, and they would hardly be at home 
in a modern house unless in a camper’s 
bungalow or in an old-fashioned farm¬ 
house. Wrought iron is, of course, the 
logical thing for these articles, and the 
crane can be had for $7.75, while the 
kettle costs $6. 
In the same class with the crane there 
is another little device whose kind in some 
strange way has almost become obsolete. 
This is the trivet, and it is doubtful if 
many of us would know a trivet without 
an introduction. It has never become per¬ 
manently transplanted in America, but the
