again and again all summer long. Lucul- 
lus is the best variety. One short row will 
keep a family supplied with “greens” all 
summer long. 
Squash. — The Delicious is the best new 
squash of recent years. Not so large as 
the Hubbard but of even finer flavor — the 
best in quality of all. Symmes Blue Hub¬ 
bard is, I think, a real improvement over 
that standard variety. For the small home 
garden, where space is limited, the little 
Delicata or the Bush Fordhook is best. 
Start as early as safe and keep the bugs 
off. If the vines are caused to wilt by 
borers, look for them near the ground in 
the stem, and splitting a section carefully 
lengthwise with a sharp thin blade, get the 
intruder out. 
Tomato. — Dwarf Giant has proved a 
great acquisition. A cross between Pon- 
derosa and Dwarf Champion, it has an 
ideal habit of growth, an ideal fruit, and 
is beyond doubt the best tomato for the 
home garden so far developed. Dwarf 
Stone is another good sort. Livingston's 
Coreless and New Globe are both fine 
sorts, from the garden of this veteran to¬ 
mato hybridizer. 
The last two seasons’ droughts have 
proved to me more than ever the benefit of 
having plants like tomato, pepper and egg, 
started in pots. One of my customers 
last year, who had about 300 potted plants 
and the rest from boxes, told me in Sep¬ 
tember that while many had been practi¬ 
cally burned up, all the potted plants had 
lived. Also, they get so large in the pots 
that the cut-worms can't get them after 
planting out. Keep the plants well trained 
up, and most of the suckers should be 
rubbed off before they get large. 
The Spanish Mission Style of 
House 
{Continued from page 13) 
side face of the walls is covered with ce¬ 
ment or stucco, forming window and door 
jambs, and, with the roofs of tile, the use 
of wood is reduced to a minimum. It is 
not necessary that the walls be built of 
concrete for this style of building, as brick 
or stone will answer the purpose in place 
of the concrete. Tiled roofs are generally 
used. Where the floors are exposed to the 
rain and moisture, as in porches and cloi¬ 
sters, flat tiles are used. This flooring is 
good, and economical, as it requires prac¬ 
tically no attention. 
More and more the desire is growing for 
baths and plunges. The “Roman bath” 
seems to be returning to popular use. 
Where land can be used freely the bath 
can be connected with the main house very 
conveniently in this type of building, sur¬ 
rounding it with rooms or with a blank 
wall as desired.
