The conformation of the surrounding 
country gives this site a view which can be 
reckoned as a valuable asset, but the actual 
expenditure of money on the bungalow is 
as follows: 
Lumber for framework, 
floors 
and doors. 
. $6o 
Chestnut slabs. 
. 8 
Roofing . 
. 4S 
Composition board . 
. 32 
Sashes . 
. 26 
Paint . 
. 7 
Hardware . 
. 34 
Brick and cement. 
. 9 
In addition to this the builder reckons 
his time for seven months at the conserva¬ 
tive estimate of $500, which brings the 
total up to $721.

Rates and Booklet on Application 
Everything in the garden has improved 
wonderfully in looks, I must say, since I 
dosed them all with this stuff. It heartens 
them all up and gives them color, and 
makes them look happy and glad to be 
alive, and our lecturer claimed that ex¬ 
perts could tell, just by a plant’s com¬ 
plexion, when it was pining for a little 
nitrate. I thought that sounded a bit ex¬ 
aggerated when he said it, but since I have 
seen the change in just these things of 
mine I almost begin to believe it’s true. 
Really, it’s quite astounding the things 
one does not know about just the com¬ 
monest gardening and the commonest gar¬ 
den denizens! 
As we were having our collation on the 
terrace after the talk was over, some one 
said something about the elm beetles and 
how thick they are, and that led up to a 
discussion of neighborhood activities 
against them. And the ambassador sug¬ 
gested right away that the Garden Clubs 
were the people to have big spraying out¬ 
fits — wagon tanks — where foresters were 
lacking to take care of a town’s trees. 
And so Mrs. Addicks senior had a com¬ 
mittee appointed before you could shake 
a lamb’s tail, to investigate the cost, main¬ 
tenance, manning, and all of such an outfit. 
And if it is not too much — even if it is a 
great deal! — I think the Club will under¬ 
take to get one. Then we all will hire it 
so many days a season, at so much per 
day, and perhaps we may be able to make 
it pay by letting it out to others who are 
not members of the Club — or even to the 
town, if they need it. Or even to neigh¬ 
boring towns — but there ! It surely is time 
for me to stop or I shall have this spray¬ 
ing apparatus that we have not yet bought, 
rented around for all its time, with the 
Club members forming a waiting list!
