With the Kewanee System, there is no elevated or 
attic tank to leak, freeze, overflow or collapse. A 
Kewanee Pneumatic Tank is placed in the cellar, 
buried in the ground or located in a pump house. 
The Kewanee Tank rests on solid ground, will 
last almost indefinitely and furnishes a fresh usable 
supply of water during all seasons. 
The water is delivered by air pressure. Pumping 
water into the tank from your well, cistern, or other 
source of supply, creates the pressure. 40 pounds is 
a good average pressure and is equal to the pressure 
from an elevated tank 93 feet high.

PERENNIALS AND ANNUALS 
I have a strip of ground, running 
north and south, 150 feet long by six 
feet wide, with a fence on its west border. 
I would like to establish an old English 
flower garden on it of perennials and 
annuals, and would be very much 
obliged if you could give me some advice 
in regard to what I could put in to make 
it beautiful. P. C. L. 
Your exposure is entirely an eastern 
one, and if unshaded by trees or build¬ 
ings you have quite a list of plants to 
choose from. Plant in hold masses, 
using one kind of a plant for each mass. 
Plant, as a rule, the taller ones at the 
hack but allow them to come out here 
and there well towards the Iront so as to 
form bays, in which plant the lower 
growing forms. Any good catalogue 
will give you the heights. All of the 
following should he hardy with you, 
unless the drainage is poor. Among the 
perennials use Achillea, “The Pearl,” 
Aconitum N a pel I us, N. autumnale, j 
Amsonia salicifolta, Japanese anemone, 1 
Anthemis tinctoria, columbines. Aster I

catalogue and look up the above and 
choose from them. For annuals try 
petunia, rosey morn, Howard’s star 
petunia, and for white, snowball, also 
any of the annual asters, Chrysanthe¬ 
mum cannatum, or C. coronariurn, 
calliopsis, golden ray, Gypsophilla
