Y OU probably plan to live in the house you build. Naturally 
you will wish to keep down expenses in the years to come. 
A well designed bathroom with 
carefully selected equipment not only 
gives immediate comfort—but adds 
to the future value of your property 
by savings in repairs through years of 
constant service. 
Mott’s plumbing is one of the safest 
“long-term” investments you can put 
into a house. 
If you are planning to build or remodel, 
write for “Mott’s Bathroom Book.” It 
pictures and describes Mott’s New Light 
Weight Porcelain Bath which weighs and 
costs little more than Enamelled Iron. Sent 
on receipt of four cents to cover postage.

KELLY BROS., Wholesale Nurseries, 340 Main Street. DANSVILLE, N. Y. 
You never regret planting Kelly'Bros.' stock. 
same way Cornns alba and Berberis vul¬ 
garis are planted together. The barberry 
has its greenish-yellow flower in April, the 
cornns small, flat clusters of white flowers 
in June. In autumn the white cornus ber¬ 
ries make a contrast with the red fruit of 
the barberry and in winter the Cornus alba 
stems are brilliant with color. Again, 
Stephanandra and Regel’s privet are 
planted together, and bloom in May and 
July. They have an interesting winter 
effectiveness, for the Stephanandra stems 
are orange-colored and the privet has 
persistent black fruit. Philadelphus micro- 
phyllus and Spiraea Anthony Waterer 
are grouped together. The foliage 
delicacy and the small white May and 
June flowers of the Philadelphus micro- 
phyllus are quite choice in effect in com¬ 
parison with the July bloom of the Spiraea 
Anthony Waterer, which is strong in color. 
This change gives two distinctly different 
effects to the same spot. 
In such careful shrub massing the 
shrubs are always used in small groups, 
sometimes only one plant of a kind, some¬ 
times five or six plants are used together. 
Through this kind of grouping there is 
always something new and interesting, 
always something different on the path to 
attract attention, through the whole cycle 
of seasons, which makes this home walk a 
new little garden adventure every time we 
pass along it. 
While the attention given to seasonal 
effects makes this path of continual inter¬ 
est, it is the consideration given to the 
foliage effect and to shrub habit which 
binds the shrubs together into a unified 
and harmonious border. 
This same effect is created in the en¬ 
closure of the lawn, of which the borders 
of the west path form a part. 
Big and striking effects desired in the 
planting of large areas are thus avoided. 
The informal and intimate character of this 
planting is especially suited to a small sub¬ 
urban place. 
The Seashore Garden 
( Continued from page 347) 
average home does not look in accord, and 
if “weeds are plants out of place,” what 
sort of misfit should such misjudgment be 
termed as the use of pincushion planting 
of privet, oddities of all sorts dotted pro¬ 
miscuously? Study native growths and 
see how Nature gets her charming effects 
when unhindered by man. 
The native pitch pines are almost de¬ 
lightful and should be cherished wher¬ 
ever possible, but to transplant is indeed, 
and alas! another matter. Even nursery- 
grown trees only survived for me six out 
of twenty in one instance, and less in 
another! Scotch pines may help you, but 
if white pine is desired, you must be sure 
you protect it from every direction — if you 
are close to the shore and open to wind.

kind of roots, and white clover, with
