general purposes, mixed barnyard manure 
is the best. It should have been kept un¬ 
der cover and forked over until it has be¬ 
come fine and shortened and is thoroughly 
rotted, without any signs of burning or 
fire-fang, which will be indicated by a 
light, gray, ashy appearance. Wet ma¬ 
nure is likely to be of less value than that 
which is fairly dry. 
Another thing to do now is to address 
a half dozen postal cards to the leading 
seed houses, so that after your garden plan 
is definitely made up there will he no delay 
in getting of the order. To be on time, 
some of the early vegetables will have to

This is the first of a series of articles which has been 
especially prepared for House and Garden with the idea 
of creating a more widespread appreciation of the pos¬ 
sibilities of developing small places. Everybody knows 
what landscape architecture has done for the large estates 
of this country, but its place in the creation of small 
places is but little understood. For that reason there 
will be presented a series of small places done by such 
landscape architects as Mr. Harold A. Caparn, Mr. 
Henry V. Hubbard, of the firm of Pray, Hubbard & 
White: Mr. Charles .V. Lowrie, Mr. Prentice Sanger, and 
Mr. Sibley C. Smith, to be followed by work of Miss 
Marian C. Coffi, Miss Elisabeth Leonard. Olmsted Bros., 
Mr. Arthur A. Shurtleff, and others . — Editor. 
Useful Closets in Unusual Places

basket belonging to the mistress of the 
house. It was a welcome spot to place the 
little odds and ends always to be found in 
every home; moreover, being out of the 
ordinary, it lent an air of individuality 
and distinction to the room. The top of 
this window-seat, like all others in the 
house, was hinged to raise upward that 
the interior space might be used for 
storage. 
Passing through the den again on our 
way upstairs, one is attracted by a shallow 
closet over the fireplace-mantel, with little, 
jig-sawed grills over the glass, through 
which can be seen dainty, hand-painted 
china within. This illustrates an often- 
neglected opportunity. As the smoke- 
chamber of a fireplace generally narrows 
at the rate of one foot to each two and 
one-half or three feet of height, there is 
usually space at the front and sides of the 
chimney breast that may be utilized. 
Often useful little closets at the sides hold 
dust-pan and brushes, so convenient to 
have nearby when the hearth needs clean¬ 
ing. Another seat in this room had the 
usual provision for storage beneath it, and 
in the partition wall above it a shallow 
series of closets for books with jig-sawed 
grille doors like those over the fireplace- 
mantel. 
Upstairs there were several other clos¬ 
ets of interest. In the hall a big double 
linen-closet with drawers below contained 
all the extra bedding for the whole house, 
while in a small closet nearby were kept
