S UPERIOR ideas no less than faultless construction are the 
foundation for jiutOCCir Reliability. And this Re¬ 
liability is not a generality. It is the overwhelming testimony 
of Autocar owners. It is the evidence of expert investigators 
of Autocar engineering and workmanship. It is the sum and sub¬ 
stance of Autocar performance, day by day. The reasons why are to 
be found in factory thoroughness and in the sincere purpose back 
factory. Before you buy any car investigate Autocar Control. The Autocar 
governs spark and throttle without removing his hands from the steering wheel.

A. M. 
and L. umbellatum have proved the 
hardiest and most permanent with me. 
For perennials due to bloom earlier 
than the Golden Glow I would advise 
you to try some of the following. They 
are of hardy constitution and would 
probably stand your climate with root 
protection. 
Achillea Millefolium roseum, especial¬ 
ly H. A. Dreer’s new form, Campanula 
Carpatica, C. glomerata, Centaurea 
macrocephala, delphiniums — iris, most 
of the family, Lychnis Chalcedonica, 
Platycodon grandiflorum, Ranunculus 
acns f. plena, Spirera Aruncus, Stellaria 
Holostea and T hah drum aquilegi folium 
var. alba. 
I do not think Boltonias would do 
anything for you. I certainly would 
try the early blooming garden phloxes 
of the suffruticosa section; they bloom 
fully a month to six weeks earlier than 
the old-fashioned forms, and may be used 
in front of the later blooming kinds 
where both do well. 
SUITABLE SHRUBBERY FOR A NEW PLACE 
I enclose herewith a plan, which 
shows the position of our house on the 
lot, sidewalks, and grading. The lot 
is north front, ioo ft. on the street, 
reaching back 125 ft. from the sidewalk. 
The plan enclosed shows the position 
of the walks, and the grading of the 
lot. 
Should be pleased to have suggestions 
as to a limited and appropriate amount 
of flowers, shrubbery, etc. We cannot 
go into anything very elaborate. We 
have quite a family of small children, 
and the place must be primarily appro¬ 
priate for their use.

You state that you do not desire 
anything elaborate, and on the plan 
submitted show that the entire space 
between your house and your west line, 
is to be given up to a grass tennis court, 
except that at the boundary line is a 
line of shade trees. Planting either 
shrubs or flowers on the very narrow 
terrace bordering the west side of the 
house would require a too straight line 
planting and be without character. 
All this prevents any planting on your 
west lawn, but you will be recompensed 
by the broad stretch of grass which will 
form a quiet setting to the house. The
