large capacity for taking pains. To such 
the work will be a real pleasure. To 
others the employment of a local carpenter 
who will follow one of the short cuts out¬ 
lined need be a matter of comparatively 
little expense and will surely bring sur¬ 
prisingly satisfactory results. 
The Tudor House for America 
{Continued from page i8) 
first blush one would say this house could 
look well only in that luxuriant setting, 
but I can imagine it almost equally lovely 
and at home in some of the reaches of the 
I^Iaine coast, set amid cedar and fir, on 
the hillside, springs feeding its fountains, 
and its outlook over the sea. At first 
blush a Virginian red brick house might 
seem out of place in California, but I can 
imagine one set in the midst of an orchard, 
or surrounded by formal gardens, looking 
as homelike as it does in England, and as 
much in keeping with its surroundings.

We are fortunate in our neighborhood 
in that it seems possible to find water 
almost any place, but a short way from the 
surface. There will be a cistern in addi¬ 
tion to the well, for droughts are not un¬ 
known, and a generous supply of water is 
never amiss when one gardens. A small 
engine will be needed for many things 
about the place, one of them being to force 
water through pipes laid to the gardens. 
To the left of the house, in front, we 
plan to have a tennis court; in front the 
gardens, and sloping to the southwest, the 
orchard, vineyard and small fruits, with 
the chicken houses and runs farther down. 
There are old apple trees here and 
there, some all foliage, others with boughs 
dragging on the ground from the weight 
of a multitude of small apples. These we 
hope to bring into bearing condition by 
proper treatment. Both the Agricultural 
Department and the experiment stations of 
the State have been very helpful with di¬ 
rections and suggestions concerning this 
and many other matters about which we 
went to them for advice. 
There are many small cedars scattered 
among the larger trees and not thriving 
because of too much shade. These we shall 
presently transplant to grow about a tiny 
spring-fed pool on the slope. Some day 
we shall have a little water garden in the 
woods, where there is another and larger 
spring. 
Most of our plans can be worked out 
only on paper as yet, but in the woods we 
have actually begun work, felling dead 
trees, thinning out where they grow too 
closely or are too much overshadowed to 
thrive, and already our place is improving.

A PURPLE MARTIN HOUSE AT COST 
This house is built espe¬ 
cially for the colonization 
of that social, useful little 
bird-neighbor, the purple 
martin. 
It is not a makeshift 
miniature, but is of three 
eight-room stories and attic. 
The house is 28 inches 
high, substantially constructed throughout and 
always gets the martins. It may be purchased 
at cost by bird lovers anywhere for $11.00 
f. o. b. Chicago. Correspondence solicited. 
I also have manufactured for me a beautiful, 
unique hanging wren house, which is guaran¬ 
teed to attract the wrens, and which I sell 
for $5.00 jQg DODSON
