Ideal refrigeration requires 100% perfec¬ 
tion ill FOUR POINTS: 
(D—Cleanliness. (3)—Coldness—or low 
(2 )—A scientifically correct temperature, 
circulation of dry air. (4) —Ice Conservation. 
Some refrigerators have a high percentage 
in some of these points. But the high aver¬ 
age in all four points goes to the 
“Monroe” Refrigerator 
Cleanliness is assured by the“Monroe*s”solid 
one-piece porcelain food compartments—all 
corners rounded. No metal to corrode. No 
enamel to chip. Not a single crack, crevice 
or corner to harbor dirt or germs. Easy to 
clean and keep clean. Circulation of cold, 
dry air is secured by features scientifically 
installed. 
Low temperatures are obtained by heavy 
and high class insulation—tight-fitting doors 
and automatic locks which prevent leakage 
of cold air. 
All these things mean ice conservation and 
small ice cost. The “Monroe’* is not sold in 
stores. We ship it 
from factory — 
freight prepaid—on 
30 days’ trial.

T HERE is nothing 
that can be planted 
which gives a more 
beautiful range of col¬ 
orings or a more de¬ 
lightful mass of blos¬ 
som than the gladioli 
which are being grown 
now by thousands 
where a few years ago 
they were never seen. 
If they are planted 
from 6" to 8" deep, ac¬ 
cording to the size of 
the bulbs and the char¬ 
acter of the soil, they 
will give attractive and 
satisfactory results. 
The care that is neces¬ 
sary in other sections 
for them, as well as for 
cannas, dahlias and iris, 
is not needed in the 
South. Once planted 
they may be allowed to 
remain for an indefinite 
number of years. 
The pale pink shades 
of gladioli with deeper 
markings are most 
beautiful in a color 
s ch erne of rose and 
white. The pure white 
in both summer and 
autumn-flowering kinds 
are exquisite in their 
pure loveliness. The 
cream and yellow tones 
that shade down into 
deepest orange and on 
and deeper terra-cotta 
of choice that few plants afford. 
May brings the clusters of Spirea 
Reevesiana, one of the finest of the 
spring flowering shrubs 
The nearly black. 
into scarlet rich crimson shades run down 
give a range through maroon to a depth that is 
There are some that 
are pale blue and 
deep purple, there 
are red-violets and 
primrose yellows 
that are exquisite 
in combination. 
The variety is in¬ 
finite. There is but 
one law to govern 
the choice. Do not 
plant mixed col¬ 
ors. Choose a 
range of color 
tones that will be 
in harmony with 
the surrounding
