Any Heat That Pulls Your 
Furniture Apart Cannot Be Healthy 
A HEAT to be healthy, should not only be 
laden with fresh air; but it should carry 
a definite proportion of moisture. 
It's the dry, moistureless radia¬ 
tor heat that takes the life out of 
your furnitue’s glue, shrinks the 
wood, and loosen the joints. 
There’s no glue or furniture 
made, that can long resist the 
destruction of any dry air heat. 
Every Kelsey Warm Air Gener¬ 
ator can be equipped with an Au¬ 
tomatic Humidifier, which gives 
to the heat in every room of your house, just 
the right amount of moisture required for 
the insurance of your health and 
preservation of your furniture. 
The Kelsey Heat not only 
heats; but it ventilates, and au¬ 
tomatically keeps the moisture 
content of the air healthily right. 
No heat, no matter what heat, 
can equal it for continued econo¬ 
my. We want the opportunity 
of proving this statement. Will 
you give it to us?

walls catch and hold the heat of the sun 
and make it comfortable to sit in even late 
in the fall, while the pine tree furnishes 
just enough shade to make it a pleasant 
afternoon lounging place even in the 
warm days of late spring. 
The terrace is sheltered on the north by 
the house, from which it is approached 
through a small conservatory. The stucco 
pilasters and wooden beams of the con¬ 
servatory make it a desirable winter sub¬ 
stitute for a pergola. On the west the ter¬ 
race overlooks the dower garden. The 
other two sides are enclosed by walls. 
Opposite the conservatory the wall is 
raised to give privacy from the carriage 
drive of the neighboring lot. The mo¬ 
notony of a solid wall is changed into a 
feature of much interest by an arrange¬ 
ment of three panels. Two are filled with 
Della Robbia singing boys, the center with 
a brick wall fountain. The fountain pro¬ 
vides an architectural feature which is 
particularly good in its placing opposite 
the conservatory door and in its location 
near the pine tree which overshadows it. 
A wall fountain is an economy of space, 
but the smallest amount of water has 
value in a garden, and the tiniest trickle 
a lively effect. The three dat, arch open¬ 
ings in the other w.all allow the green of 
the back shrubbery to enter into the com¬ 
position. This wall gives the effect of 
seclusion, while the openings in it suggest 
something of interest beyond. It is a 
transition between the formal terrace and 
the informal back lawn. 
Jasminum nudiHornm planted under the 
conservatory windows has bright, yellow 
dowers very early in the spring. Snow¬ 
drops, Iris reticulata and English prim¬ 
roses are planted in the sunny nooks at 
the foot of the wall, and white Chinese 
wistaria climbs over it. The annual vine, 
Cobea scandens, gives a delightful laven¬ 
der bloom in the fall, and English ivy 
planted on the shady sides provides the 
winter interest. 
The terrace is a pleasant out-of-door 
room. It is comparatively small, but the 
wide, open view of the dower garden and 
the broken glimpses of the back lawn make 
it quite big in feeling, if not in actual 
extent. 
The central arch of the wall opens into 
the back lawn. On either side are in¬ 
formal shrubbery borders. The ground 
under the shrubs is planted with blood- 
root, Solomon seal, trillium, crocuses, 
squills, violets and other spring dowers. 
It is a substitute for a rock garden which 
shows what charming simple effects can 
be developed on a small place if thought 
is given to the intensive use of every cor¬ 
ner. In the shrubbery itself, the main 
masses are composed of lilacs, snowber- 
ries, Euanymns alatus, Cornus alba and 
Kerria japonica. The lilacs provide 
abundant spring bloom, the snowberries a
