their best when trained over a pergola or 
porch, where the buge clusters of flowers 
may hang down and their great beauty 
and fragrance enjoyed to tbe best advan¬ 
tage. 
The Trumpet-vine or Bignonia makes 
an ideal plant for covering dead stumps of 
trees, rough screens, rocky banks, etc. 
The foliage is large, abundant, and quite 
handsome, and the large trumpet-shaped, 
orange-colored blossoms are vary effec¬ 
tive, even at a considerable distance. 
Several of the other hardy vines have 
some special point of recommendation, al¬ 
though they are not so desirable for gen¬ 
eral use as most of the above. The Ma¬ 
deira of Mignonette Vine is very fragrant, 
and also a rapid grower, with pretty white 
flowers. The cinnamon vine is similar, 
and of extremely rapid growth. Both of 
these grow up annually from roots or 
tubers, and can be bought for a few cents 
apiece, so they are especially valuable for 
temporary use, for summer cottages, etc. 
For cut flowers, the hardy sweet pea, 
Lathyrus, which grows to a medium 
height—a little taller than the annual 
sweet peas—is very useful. A recently 
introduced variety, White Pearl, has flow¬ 
ers nearly twice as large as the older sorts, 
is in constant bloom, and will undoubtedly 
become a great favorite as it becomes bet¬ 
ter known. Latifolius , the type, is a deep 
rose color, very pretty. Euonymus Radi- 
cans Vegetus is an extremely hardy 
climber which may be used in place of the 
ivies. Radicctns, the type, is a scrambling 
plant which requires severe pruning, and 
may be cut to hedges or borders. 
Three Kitchens of Effectiveness 
and Efficiency 
(Continued from page 156) 
help to plain Mrs. Smith to express her 
views about kitchens in which he felt as 
out of place as the bull in the china shop. 
If only women could get away from the 
fear that their vague desires must neces¬ 
sarily be impractical or that a thing must 
be too expensive because it suits them and 
would express their ideas to receptive 
architects, what an endleS's variety of 
kitchens might the latter embody in dream 
shape on paper and build into actuality! 
Backbone instead of wishbone does it. 
A kitchen that its mistress sighed for — 
not over! — and calls both pretty and con¬ 
venient, should be the ambition of both 
architect and client. 
A white enamel kitchen is a thing of 
beauty but hardly a joy forever — at least 
not to the woman who “does her own 
work. It is the dream of some women 
to possess such a kitchen, all spotless white 
and snowy loveliness, but after the drudg¬ 
ery of keeping it so begins, the white 
Kitchen becomes a white elephant, for, as 
in the case of the little white kitten that 
The Sash that Doubles the Efficiency of Your 
Gardening and Cuts the Cost One-Half 
RJhe sash that has become the standard among successful growers — all within six years. 
T HE two layers of glass enclose an air space through 
which the sun’s rays pass freely to the bed, but 
through which the cold from without or the warmth 
from within cannot penetrate. This transparent blanket-— 
this “Thermos” sash — has redeemed gardening from its 
drudgery. It does away absolutely with the need to 
use mats and shutters. No more lifting of heavy shut¬ 
ters and soggy mats, morning and night. No more buy¬ 
ing and re-buying of these costly covers that must be 
used on single glass sash! No more shutting off the 
light from the plants at the very times—early morning and 
late afternoon — when they need it most! 
Still Wondering 
Mr. H. B. Fullerton, who, as Director of Development 
of the L. I. R. R- Co., has worked wonders for Rural Dong 
Island, says: “I am still wondering why people use 
single-glazed sash under any circumstances. I feel that 
the only thing on earth to use is the double-glass sash.” 
The only testimonials that the Sunlight Double Glass 
Sash Co. ever uses are extracts from letters ordering more 
sash. It could fill a book with these gilt-edged endorse¬ 
ments because it is filling hot-bed yards with Sunlight 
Sash. Many large growers have ordered three years in 
succession. 
And Mechanically Better 
Not only in efficiency but mechanically the Sunlight 
Sash is superior to any other. It is glazed or repaired 
in one third the time that the old style single layer putty 
sash requires. 
Our Inexpensive Greenhouse 
Besides their use on cold-frames and hot-beds, the same 
double glass sash may be used during all or a large part 
of the greenhouse months on the ready-made sash green¬ 
houses made especially for them. These houses, made 
entirely of cypress and glass, are inexpensive and excel¬ 
lent. They are made to rest on the ground with a sunken 
path to give access to the beds; or they can be placed 
on side walls of frame, concrete or brick construction so 
as to use benches for the plants. These side walls may 
be as much as 2)4 feet high. The door is made to fit 
either a path 2)4 feet deep or walls 2)4 feet high, but 
may be cut off at the bottom to fit any lesser height 
or depth. Any one can set up the house without a valid 
chance to make a mistake. The framework is assembled 
as far as is practicable for shipment. Read all about 
this most attractive little house in our Catalog.
