INDIVIDUALITY IN FURNI- 
1 TURE lies as much in the ex¬ 
pression of your taste in color and 
finish as in lines and form. 
IJ We offer you a wide selection of styles, 
and your choice of any of several finishes: 
or will finish your furniture from your own 
suggestions to harmonize with the color 
schemes of your rooms. 
I]] Our stock is especially rich in models 
of old New England Furniture which so 
admirably accords with interiors of good 
taste and refinement. 
Let us send you (gratis) full set, No. 4, 
of illustrations of our different models. 
(Continued from page 312) 
on tiny stems from the axils of the spines, 
either solitary or in pairs. From the very 
host of berries you can see what a prickly 
bush it is; and yet its interest does not 
end here, for each spine guards not so 
much the fruit as a pair of yellow buds, 
and at each pair of buds the very twigs 
change angles, and so add character. 
The common barberry is a different kind 
of bush, alike, to be sure, in foliage, but 
its thorns are much longer and its fruit 
hangs in drooping racemes from wand-like 
stems. In the garden it is not a shrub for 
hedges, but for sentinel positions, by the 
front gate, bv the front steps or at the end 
of shrubberies. They can, of course, be 
planted in groups in the general shrub¬ 
beries, but not where solid, flat masses are 
needed. 
The fruit of the shrubs has been griev¬ 
ously neglected, both in our home decora¬ 
tion and in our garden plantings, and all 
the while it has so much to offer in beauty 
and variety of color, in interesting struc¬ 
ture, in the personality of the shrubs them¬ 
selves. Berries cycle the year from the 
time of the June-berry until a twelve- 
month after many a black drupe of the 
Rhodotypos, loath to leave the bush, plavs 
at brotherhood with the new green fruit. 
In September the berries are very abun¬ 
dant, and the same is true of colorful Oc¬ 
tober, but many stay on to help the ever¬ 
greens and the colored stems to vivify the 
garden in winter time. 
Give the berries a chance in your house 
decorations and you will be amply repaid 
in a new feeling for beauty, in many a 
fresh sensation and in the admiration of 
your friends. Try decorations of the Vi¬ 
burnum cassinoides or of the silvery 
blue dogwood berries for a September 
luncheon, of red chokeberries for October, 
or scarlet black alders for Christmas, and 
you'll find yourself with a reputation for 
originality among your friends. As for 
your home grounds, remember not only 
the continuous pageant of shrub flowers, 
the succession of the perennials, the grate¬ 
ful annuals, the changing colors of the 
leaves in autumn, but the host of colored 
berries, and select your plants with their 
fruiting effects in mind.

tion around them. The blossoms are true 
“lavender” in color, and usually are at 
their best in August. 
No scented garden would be complete 
without rosemary; and this grows as 
readily from seed as a nasturtium. Its 
blossoms are not its feature, however, for 
these are small and not conspicuous; but 
the bees love them, for they come in early 
spring and yield a precious store. Well-
