Not only do Moons’ Trees and Shrubs solve this problem, but almost any other land¬ 
scape problem that may arise, whether it be that of planting an entirely new lawn, or 
some new feature in an old one, such as shrubbery border, hedge, windbreak, or addi¬ 
tional shade trees. Our catalogue “Moon’s Hardy Trees and Plants for Every Place and 
Purpose" describes these and shows numerous illustrations of results produced with 
Moon’s stock. A copy will be gladly mailed upon request.

on account of the numerous shoots that 
appear each spring and that must be kept 
away, but a thorough working in Febru¬ 
ary is generally sufficient. In the autumn 
throw manure around the roots and in 
summer keep the grass from choking the 
life out of them. Beyond that no atten¬ 
tion is necessary. That much, however, 
must be done for all shrubs until they are 
so well grown they no longer need any 
care.

complete specifications his figures may be 
gone over and verified. Of course, if the 
builder has the final drawings from the 
first he will he able to give at once an 
exact and final figure. 
If you contemplate building a home 
study your own section. What in the long 
run seems to have proven to be the best 
materials for the locality; what materials 
are used for foundation walls, exterior 
walls, roofs, porches, trim, chimneys, etc. 
If one material predominates for each part, 
then there is some good reason why it 
was used. Probably for the sake of econ¬ 
omy or procurability. A little thought and 
careful study in the beginning may save 
time and expense in the end.

best of condition that is possible. 
As to winter work, the coldframes will 
now be requiring more attention — cold 
nights will necessitate covering them with 
the glass sashes, and water should be 
given less frequently, and in the morning. 
The first crop of lettuce should be put into 
the frames about October 1st and will ma¬ 
ture without artificial heat; following 
crops must go into the hotbed or the 
greenhouse. Bulbs for winter bloom, such 
as narcissi, tulips, hyacinths and Spanish 
iris, should be started now, planted in flats 
and kept in a dark and cold place or cov¬ 
ered several inches deep with soil for the 
present, the idea being to stimulate at first 
root growth only. 
It is not too late to investigate the small 
greenhouse question. Why not build one 
this fall, attached to the house, and heated 
from the house heating system? No small 
investment that you can make will give 
greater returns, both in pleasure and in 
actual money saving use throughout the 
winter and especially next spring. It will 
prove an addition to both house and gar¬ 
den that will never be regretted once you 
have realized its advantages.
