seeds by wrapping them in moist loam and 
sphagnum moss and pushing them into 
crevices. With seedlings, one should al¬ 
low them to gain a fairly thriving growth 
■of rootlets and carefully hollow out a place 
for them. Pack the soil tight, as in pot¬ 
ting, and leave but little of the plant pro¬ 
jecting.

wall planting, but a characteristic list of

The Swiss Chalet for America 
(Continued from page 292) 
terior paneling there is nothing more at¬ 
tractive, all things considered, than red¬ 
wood and to the interior plans of Amer¬ 
ican chalets, architects have given fancy 
full play. It is a difficult matter to pre¬ 
serve the artistic simplicity of the Swiss 
interior and yet to harmonize it with the re¬ 
quirements of modern convenience. Yet 
this has been done by many builders and 
has made the American chalet delightful 
both inside and out. 
In our money-governed world one must 
not forget the matter of expense which en¬ 
ters very largely into the building plans 
of so many people. Economy was neces¬ 
sary to Swiss people; consequently their 
architecture was on a style that cost little. 
And the same is true in America. One 
can build a Swiss chalet for a third less 
money than it will cost to erect a house 
of similar pretension in other styles. Of 
course one may also put a great deal of 
money into a chalet, so that it really satis¬ 
fies all classes; but to such as want an in¬ 
expensive home that will be homelike and 
picturesque and will not look cheap in that 
worst sense of striving for an elegance 
one cannot afford, the Swiss chalet is, to 
my mind, the ideal habitation. It is a 
happy, light-hearted style; it is capable of 
an infinite variety of treatment without 
radical departure from its central and fun¬ 
damental principles of advantage and ex¬ 
cellence ; it is strong; it costs little and en¬ 
dures. What more can one ask of archi¬ 
tecture ?
