"'O make house plants grow,flour¬ 
ish, and blossom, a good, rich 
plant food is necessary. “RED- 
SNAPPER” Plant Food is a rich, very nutritious 
and yet harmless fertilizer for house plants. Its effect 
can be noticed within a few days after the first appli¬ 
cation. Color of foliage becomes a darker green, and 
the flowers and blossoms take on a beauty of coloring 
and size beyond all expectation. It is a finely ground, 
dry bone flour, made from the heads of the South 
Ameri -an Red Snapper Fish, mixed with other organic 
plant food thoroughly sterilized, clean and sanitary. 
For use, mix 1 teaspoonful to a quart of water.

Between meals the dining room of 
the larger country house assumes 
an air of dignity befitting its fur¬ 
nishings. Along the refectory table 
is spread a strip of brocade of a 
color that tones in ivith the uphol¬ 
stery and hangings. It is bound 
with galloon that has been an¬ 
tiqued. Midway is a tall bowl of 
spotless Canligalli or Gustafsberg 
filed with fruits. Wrought iron 
candelabra stand at either end, sil¬ 
houetting against a mellow tapes¬ 
try or panelled wall.

So many of our letters of inquiry from House & Garden 
readers begin with an apology for intruding on a busy 
editor’s time that we are moved to repeat again—with all 
possible emphasis—that we invite and urge you to place 
before the House & Garden Information Service what¬ 
ever house or garden problems you may have to solve. 
House & Garden is not merely a magazine—twenty-five 
cents’ worth of paper and printers’ ink a month. It is a 
bureau of personal counsel on all house and garden problems.
