No Locks are Yale Locks unless made by Yale & Towne 
! 
That your Builders’ 
Hardware should be 
Yale is obvious. 
That you will have the Master-key 
System is not so obvious, because you 
may not yet know the convenience, 
safety, compactness and efficiency of 
the Yale Master-key, especially as 
expressed in the Yale Bicentric Lock. 
The Yale Bicentric Lock has two key- 
ways — one for the Master-key, the other 
for the individual key. Each throws a 
different set of pin-tumblers which oper¬ 
ate the same bolt. The Yale Bicentric 
Lock — or, for that matter, any Yale 
Cylinder Lock or Yale Bit-key Lock with 
Master-key — can be installed with the 
Builders’ Hardware at the same time 
without additional cost for installing. 
The application of the principle is so wide 
that the padlock on your chicken coops 
may be opened with the same Master- 
key that unlocks the big front door.

boxes. The common variety of myrtle has 
a great variety of uses for which there are 
few acceptable substitutes. 
It is interesting in this connection to note 
the appearance of a new variety of myrtle 
—a hardy golden myrtle. It is said to be 
a stronger grower with leaves closely 
jointed on the vine and much larger than 
the \’inca type, frequently measuring i in. 
by in. in size and margined irreg'ularly 
with a rich golden yellow. The new 
variety has been awarded a certificate of 
merit by the Horticultural Society of New 
York, the New Jersey Floricultural So¬ 
ciety, the Paterson (N. J.) Floricultural 
Society and the Elberon Horticultural So¬ 
ciety. 
A Successful City Garden 
OT many years ago an arid enclosure 
of 25 by 50 feet, its only undulation 
being a volcano-shaped ash pile in one 
corner, made indeed a depressing outlook 
from the dining-room window of an ordi¬ 
nary city house. 
\\'e should have lost heart entirely but 
for certain Hashes of green that came to 
us through a saving row of pickets form¬ 
ing the rear boundary of the premises. 
The glimpse of growing' things beyond 
was the spur that set us hopefully at 
work to put ourselves in harmony with 
the motherly old garden over the fence. 
With the help of a man, directed by a 
strenuous woman, new soil was soon 
spread, sod laid and on the fences, which 
were painted a restful green, were fast- 
Rambler-covered arches extend over the path 
near the fence 
ened at intervals earth-filled boxes for 
flowering plants and trailing vines. 
There is nothing that lends more dig¬ 
nity to a garden, be it a large or a small 
one, than the long, straight aisle, running 
from beginning to end. If there is abun¬ 
dant space we may have many side tracks 
and irregularities, but the straight onward
