House and Garden 
is wasted fuel is also wasted. The same 
is also true inversely. The elimination 
of all radiator air valves, making the 
system automatic, does away with the 
most annoying and irritating of all 
contrivances used in a heating system. 
Persons about to build, who contemplate 
the installation of a heating plant, will do 
well to write for the booklet previously 
referred to and become intimately 
familiar with the advantages of 1 he 
Gorton System of Heating before mak¬ 
ing final decision. 
TREES AT SKIBO CASTLE, SCOTLAND 
HPHE nurserymen of Scotland and 
England and, to some extent, 
those of Ireland also have substantial 
reasons to be thankful that Andrew 
Carnegie purchased the estate of Skibo 
Castle in the Highlands of Scotland. 
Skibo was always noted for fine trees 
and extensive shrubberies, but since Mr. 
Carnegie obtained possession thousands 
upon thousands of trees and shrubs have 
been planted there. Mr. Carnegie is 
passionately fond of trees and shrubs; 
he is especially fond of rhododendrons, 
and he was quick to see that on his new 
estate there were many spots where 
rhododendrons would flourish, as some 
had flourished on other parts before, 
with the result that these were planted 
in such numbers that one or two nur¬ 
series in Aberdeen and Edinburgh were 
all but cleaned out of this stock. 
The gardens at Skibo were also noted 
for beautifully trained pear and apple 
trees on walls, but pears and apples did 
not satisfy Mr. Carnegie. He had most 
of those trees torn off, and then had the 
walls covered with glass, planting peach, 
apricot and nectarine trees where the 
pears and apples were. Mr. Carnegie 
thought an apple or pear was just as 
good coming off a standard tree that 
grew anywhere in the garden; while 
peaches he knew, could not be produced 
in that climate, mild as it is, from trees 
grown in the open. 
Although Mr. Carnegie has ample 
means to procure and plant whatever 
tree and shrub he desires, and cares but 
little whether it grows or not so far as 
returns are concerned, he does not, how¬ 
ever, go about it in that way. Instead, 
the woods on his estate are treated in the 
best possible manner with a view to 
make them profitable where possible, 
and for that reason he has had sawmills 
Economical, durable, fireproof, artistic, 
beautiful, cleanly and sanitary are some of 
the qualities which recommend the use of !£ 
the clay tile as a covering for floors and $ 
walls of bathroom, kitchen, butler’s pantry, 
mantels, fireplaces, vestibules and porches
