Draperies That 
Will Not Fade 
The windows of a home invite 
the first look of a visitor. If the 
draperies are faded and shabby, 
the effect of the whole room is 
spoiled. But

fellow-well-met dog will always make 
friends. That so dignified and reserved a 
gentleman as the chow should have won 
so many admirers without any advertising 
speaks for his sterling qualities. And he 
has been indeed fortunate in his friends: 
they have always been decidedly the right 
kind of people for a good dog to know. 
As one of their warmest supporters said 
to me the other day, “Thank the ghost of 
Confucius! the chow is popular, but not 
too blamed popular!” 
Plants for Difficult Locations 
T HE fertile parts of our gardens do 
not lack beauty. It is the shaded, 
stony or dry situations that often become 
sparse and ugly. In fact, if we succeed in 
getting plants to grow in these difficult 
spots the result is better than that obtained 
by purely artificial features, such as vases, 
studied rock effects, etc. Just what to 
grow in such neglected spots is sometimes 
puzzling, because, as a rule, we are better 
acquainted with the more exacting varie¬ 
ties. 
The Pyrethrum Tchihatchewii (hardy . 
perennial) and Cosmos (annual) grow in 
light, dry, poor soil. The following will 
thrive in dry, light soil in sunny situa¬ 
tions : 
Portulaca (annual). 
Phlox Drummondii (annual, hardy). 
Abronia Sand Verbena (hardy annual). 
Sweet Alyssum (hardy annual). 
Mesembryanthemum (tender annual). 
Petunias (hardy annual). 
Cleome Pungens (tender biennial). 
Cleome Speciosa (hardy annual). 
Stone crop (hardy perennials, with the 
exception of the blue variety, which is an 
annual). 
Nasturtium (dwarf). 
In dry locations among rocks these 
plants are advisable: 
Arabis Alpina (Rock Cress) (hardy 
perennial). 
Moss or Mountain Pinks (hardy pere'n- 
nial). 
Siberian Edelweiss (hardy perennial). 
Aubretia (hardy perennial). 
Perennial Alyssum. 
Saxifraga- Funcia (half-hardy peren¬ 
nial). 
Spiraea Astilbe (perennial). 
Gilias (hardy annuals). 
Lychnis (hardy perennial).

Cymbalaria, Kenilworth Ivy, needs more 
misture).

green) .
