eight inches deep, of oak leaves or straw 
or stable litter — never of manure, for this 
is too soggy — must wait until frost enters 
the ground. Then get it on at once, be¬ 
fore a warm spell drags it out again; and 
leave it on until the frost goes “for keeps" 
in the spring. 
Do not let this mulch bank up against 
the branches of the shrubs. These are 
not the parts that need protecting; it is 
the roots, under the ground, as far out as 
they spread in a circle from the plant’s 
main stems or bole — and six inches far¬ 
ther, as a precaution. 
When the actual planting is being done, 
be sure to cut off clean all injured roots: 
and to cut away as much top, proportion¬ 
ately, as you have taken away roots, or a 
trifle more. The woody roots are not the 
feeding roots, but from the tiny feeding 
roots arise. Be careful of these and sacri¬ 
fice as few as possible ; and spread them all 
out into the positions they occupied be¬ 
fore being dug up, as nearly as may be. 
Sift fine earth over and around and under 
them, packing it gently in with a round- 
headed stick, keeping in mind all the time 
the ideal standard of the work, which is 
to restore each specimen to the ground 
exactly as it came out of it. You cannot 
so restore it, of course; but aim for this 
and come as near to it as painstaking care 
and patience will bring you.

— the embarrassment your old-style closet 
has been inflicting upon you for years. 
Its noisy flushings are not necessary to 
thorough sanitation. The noiseless Siwelclo 
proves that, for it flushes perfectly and its 
deep water seal prevents any passage of 
sewer gas. When properly installed a 
SIWELCLO N =A* CLOSET 
cannot be heard outside of its imme¬ 
diate environment. 
Siwelclo Closets are made of Vitreous 
China, with a surface that is hard, durable 
and as impervious to grease and dirt as the 
best china (date in your pantry. The Trenton 
Potteries Co. Vitreous China is glazed at a 
temperature 1,000 degrees higher than any 
other material could stand. 
For all bathroom, kitchen and laundry fix¬ 
tures there is nothing else so sanitary and satis¬ 
factory as The Trenton Potteries Co. Vitre¬ 
ous China and Solid Porcelain. Whether 
you plan to build or remodel, you will do 
well to consult your architect and plumber 
about them.

of Character.” You will find 
it full of valuable suggestions.
