What Are You Getting From Your Coal? 
Smoke is nothing but unconsumed fuel. So take 
a look at every smoke stack you own, or are interested in: If you 
see smoke grimly sailing forth to pollute the atmosphere get it firmly in 
your mind that some of your coal money is being wasted. 
It is a proven fact that smoke is waste—good heat giving 
gases and small particles of carbon going up the chimney unburned. 
And it is absolutely unnecessary. The right boiler will allow 
you to burn the cheapest sort of soft coal without making any smoke—simply 
because the right boiler will burn all the fuel, using it all to make heat 
instead of wasting some of it as smoke. 
Kewanee 
Smokeless Firebox Boilers 
for apartments, churches, schools, large 
homes and building's of all kinds, are desig-ned 
to burn the cheapest soft coal without smoke. 
And they do it. That is a proven fact. In prac¬ 
tically every large city having - a smoke ordinance 
the smoke inspector has put his O. K. on 
Kewanee Smokeless Boilers. 
And they will make a noticeable saving 
when semi-anthracite or smokeless coal is used. 
Hartman Furniture & Carpet Co., 
says: —“When fired right, they are absolutely 
smokeless and instead of using- the very best 
smokeless coal which we formerly consumed in 
our boilers we now use an ordinary mine run 
at much lower cost. 
Our booklet “ Cutting Coal Costs ” 
will interest you. Ask for it.

Visitors always welcome at our Nurseries, where they can make selections from more than a thousand varieties of Hardy Plants

species. A space of from four to six or 
seven feet must be calculated for the 
width of a flowering hedge, or fully twice 
as much as a sheared hedge will require. 
This is more than a small garden can af¬ 
ford to spare usually. 
The shrubs mentioned as available 
should be planted at the following dis¬ 
tances, when they are to be left to grow 
naturally — that is, unsheared; Berberis 
Thunbergii, Japanese barberry, nine 
inches; Berberis vulgaris purpurea, com¬ 
mon purple barberry, ten inches; syringa 
vulgaris, common lilac, 12 inches; Hibiscus 
Syriacus, rose of Sharon, six inches; cy- 
donia Japonica, Japanese quince, twelve 
inches; Spiraea Van Houttei, Van Hout’s 
spirea, twelve inches; spiraea Thunbergii, 
Thunberg’s spirea, nine inches; Hydrangea 
paniculata grandidora, panicled hydrangea, 
twelve inches ; Rosa rugosa, Japanese wild 
rose, eighteen inches; Viburnum dentatum, 
viburnum, twelve inches; Cornus stoloni- 
fera, cornel, twelve inches ; Cornus penicu- 
lata, panicled cornel, ten inches; Deutsia 
gracilis, Deutzia, nine inches; Diervilla 
rosea, Weigela, twelve inches; Ligustrum 
Ibota, privet, six inches; Ligustrum Rege- 
lianum, Regel’s privet, eight inches \ Ligus¬ 
trum ovalifolium, California privet, ten 
inches; Ligustrum Amurense, Amoor pri¬ 
vet, twelve inches. 
An attractive combination hedge is the 
Rose of Sharon as a back planting with 
any of the low-growing species before it 
to screen its bare lower third. The Deut¬ 
zia is particularly good, and so are the 
spireas and the Weigelas. Without this 
lower growing foreground, planting hibis¬ 
cus is likely to be a disappointment owing 
to its tall spare growth. 
Of evergreens the hemlock is perhaps 
first choice for hedge planting. It stands 
close shearing well and its feathery ex¬ 
quisite beauty has no rival either in winter 
or in summer. But arborvitaes are the 
best of all if an unsheared evergreen hedge 
is wanted, for of themselves these hold 
erect and trim and keep just the best shape 
in the world for a hedge. Norway spruce 
is good and endures great exposure and 
hardships; and white pine, little used, is 
very satisfactory and beautiful and suited 
to the northernmost climates. All of these 
may be kept of any desired form and at 
any height; all should be set at the same 
distance apart — namely, fifteen inches. 
For a hedge that is not to be exposed 
to all sorts of boundary indignities, there 
is nothing that will ever take the place of 
boxwood; and though its cost is consid¬ 
erable compared to the commoner things, 
it is worth the money every bit. More¬ 
over, special prices are always made for 
the purchases of quantities. Nothing that 
can be planted gives such an immediate 
effect, for the smallest size plants are 
impressive in their sturdy assurance of
