green sticks are so natural that one in¬ 
stinctively stops to listen for the song or 
chirp. The birds are life-size and hand- 
painted in exact representation of our 
feathered friends—a delight to the eye in 
any garden. The little pottery birds are 
more expensive, though less natural, but 
are very durable. 
Another bright touch to the garden, 
whether or not the blossoms are out,, is 
the old-time “wishing ball." 1 he wishing 
ball is grandfather to those delightful, big, 
red Christmas tree balls — a great, shining, 
red glass globe ten inches in diameter, 
mounted on a pedestal. Its mission is to 
reflect the glow of the skies, the fleeciness 
of the clouds and the myriad delights of 
the garden. A most effective pedestal is 
formed of a solid column of ivy growing- 
in an urn. 
If you have a practical vegetable garden, 
the new vegetable basket will fill you with 
longing—until some kind friend sees that 
you have one. They are large and flat- 
bottomed, reminding one somewhat of a 
flat-bottomed rowboat with two sterns, 
the ends curving up a little and sides high 
enough to keep the cuttings and pickings 
where they are placed. These baskets are 
for sale separate, or they come fitted with 
a kneeling cushion, which is impervious to 
moisture; a large apron of hopsacking 
with bib and immense pockets; a set of 
long-handled implements — weed grubber, 
trowel, fork and marking line with iron 
winder and a dozen wooden markers with 
indelible pencil. With this outfit the 
amateur gardener can make the output of 
the garden decidedly professional. 
The latest in flower baskets is scoop¬ 
shaped with crossed handle, and is fitted 
out with a bright flowered cretonne apron 
of capacious pockets; notebook and pen¬ 
cil ; flower markers in glass cases; wire; 
garden tape; kneeling cushion; pruning 
shears and rose scissors. When the flow¬ 
ers are picked and ready to arrange, the 
new wooden flower tray is almost indis¬ 
pensable. It is large enough to protect 
the table from wet vases, and provides 
plenty of room for sorting and arranging. 
Rose baskets come fitted out with gay 
flowered apron, soft straw garden hat, 
scissors and wire. 
For any garden or flower work where 
a special protection is required for a 
woman’s gown, the large rubber apron is 
most desirable—especially useful in ar¬ 
ranging the vases, for water will spatter 
“in the best regulated families.” For 
artistic effect, however, the dainty smocked 
linen apron 'with great pockets, and sun- 
bonnet and sleeve protectors to match, are 
first choice. 
For the porch or indoor use the sculp¬ 
tured flower-holder appeals to the artistic 
eye, and various bronze and pewter fig¬ 
ures suited to the use to which they are 
to be put are combined with handsome pot-
