surfaces; in fact, the only safe method 
is to remove and replace the lathing, and 
this entails considerable expense and un¬ 
told dirt. W all-board can be applied and 
finished in two or three days, with no ob¬ 
jectionable dirt, by furring over the old 
plaster with strips % x 2 inches, as for 
steel ceiling, and then nailing the panels 
of wall-board to these strips. 
\\ bile wall-board finds an appropriate 
place in the mansion as well as the cot- 
tage, it is the lining par excellence for the 
summer camp or bungalow; no other is so 
economical or so satisfactory in every 
climate. Its non-conductive properties. 
make the building warmer in winter and 
cooler in summer, while its low cost and 
simplicity of application ensure more 
artistic and restful interiors than are cus¬ 
tomary in summer homes for the minimum 
of cost, time and trouble. This is con¬ 
vincingly shown by the accompanying 
photographs of the Stone bungalow, where 
the living-room illustrates something of 
the panel possibilities with decorative 
wood strips, and one of the bedrooms the 
simpler treatment with wall-board strips. 
Plaster is often impractical in out-of- 
the-way camps because of the high cost of 
materials and mason’s labor, due to trans¬ 
portation charges; then, too, atmospheric 
conditions may be unfavorable. Wall- 
board is so light that the cost of transpor¬ 
tation is very small. On its arrival the 
same carpenters who built the house can 
put it up. One thousand feet of wall- 
board weigh only a trifle over five hundred 
pounds, plaster nearly five times that.

ant sound. The pool is little bigger than 
a bird bowl but just big enough for the 
garden. Japanese iris in four groups 
around the pool make interesting reflec¬ 
tions. A Pinus mugho specimen stands at 
each corner of the almost square grass plot 
and gives four green accent points. 
Narrow flower borders edge the garden. 
J here are very few flowers, but they are 
arranged with great care and are of suf¬ 
ficient variety to insure a succession of 
bloom. When I saw it in early Tuly two 
great peony bushes marked either side of 
the' seat with their striking foliage, the 
white Japanese iris were in full bloom 
around the pool, the foliage of the German 
iris made accent points in the border; the 
foxglove had just faded, the larkspur was 
beginning to open into bloom and a very 
little early pink phlox, very likely the 
charming variety, “Elizabeth Campbell,” 
had just come out. 
This is a perfect expression of a garden. 
It has all the elements requisite for a gar¬ 
den — proper enclosure, flower borders, 
grass plot, pool, seat, united into an har¬ 
monious composition. Though restricted 
in area and in the selection of plants, there 
is no limitation to the attainment of per¬ 
fection of proportions and design, choice-

colors to make your garden “the garden

bronzes and purples, or the superb com¬

have rapidly made the Breeders the 
most desired of all Tulips.
