rounding the entire space with a hedge 
of California privet ( Ligustrum ovali- 
foliuvn), set in two rows, 9 inches apart 
and 9 inches between the plants. This 
hedge, though cut back to a height of 
10 inches at the time of planting, is to 
be allowed to grow 8 feet high ulti¬ 
mately ; it will form an impenetrable wall 
3 feet or more in thickness by such time, 
and may be kept sheared or allowed to 
grow in its natural form. A certain 
measure of shearing is advisable to pre¬ 
serve the density, however; therefore, it 
will be well to cut back the top once a 
year, and to trim the outer side at least 
as often as this, sloping it in so that it is 
narrower at the top than at the bottom. 
The inside may grow naturally, and its 
shoots mingle with the shrubbery planted 
against it. 
The individuals that go to make up 
this shrubbery mass should be planted as 
shown by the little crosses. Half-grown 
specimens that range from 2 to 3 feet in 
height will produce a very satisfactory re¬ 
sult by the third summer — indeed, they 
will give the effect the second summer if 
they do well and conditions favor them, 
particularly if they are planted in the 
fall. Shrubs of this medium size are pre¬ 
ferable to larger ones, and should be 
chosen always for best results. 
Some of the large, strong growing 
lilies may be introduced effectively at in¬ 
tervals against the shrubbery; peonies are 
also suitable for such a position, as well 
as iris. Plant all these in clumps, where 
the opportunity offers, close against or 
actually in among the shrubs. 
Following is the planting key: a — Hi¬ 
biscus Syriacus; b — Forsythia Fortunei; 
c— Syringa vulgaris; d— Weigela, ‘‘Eva 
Rathke;” e — Dcutzia crenata fl.pl.; f—tSpi- 
ra Van Honttei; g — Ligustrum Ibota, 
Regelianurn; h— Viburnum opulus; i — 
Cornus stolonifera; j — Pliiladelphus coro- 
narius; k — Hydrangea paniculata, grandi- 
dora; 1 —Berberis vulgris. 
The trees are: Plantanus orientalis; 
2 — Catalpa speciosa; 3 — Tilia Americana. 
Putterin’ ’round the Garden 
(Continued from page 261) 
the flowers are in bloom, when the orna¬ 
mental (I insist) screen is covered with 
mountain fringe and the trellises with cle¬ 
matis and ipomoea, when the fish are 
swimming in the pool and the birds splash¬ 
ing in their bath, visitors will admire my 
garden, but I shall not. I shall still go 
putterin’ 'round at new tasks and improve¬ 
ments, content merely that the work of 
this spring has come to fruition and rest¬ 
less for new worlds of stubborn soil or un¬ 
planed posts to conquer. 
is the only stucco that dries with that permanent uniform color effect so desirable for artistic homes. This 
is because it is positively the only stucco that contains no sand. 
The base of most other stuccos is sand. Due to the iron and other foreign substances in the sand, such 
stuccos are liable to become stained and spotted. 
J-M Asbestos Stucco is composed of tough asbestos fibres and finely ground asbestos rock. The fibres 
take the place of hair used in other stuccos, and the ground asbestos rock takes the place of sand. This, 
when combined with Portland Cement, produces a stucco that can be applied in a large variety of finishes 
and texture effects. 
J-M Asbestos Stucco is lighter in weight than most stuccos, and covers a greater area per ton. In prepared form it can be 
supplied in white and various shades of gray and buff. 
To insure satisfactory results we are prepared to apply J-M Asbestos Stucco.

Free Book on Lawns 
Showing lawn before and after rolling. 
Here is one of the many things explained 
in our free book, “ The Proper Care of 
Lawns.” 
This book gives complete directions for 
making, seeding, watering and mowing the 
lawn. It shows why rolling is necessary to 
give the lawn an early start in the spring, 
and keep it from drying out through the 
summer. 
The book also illustrates and describes 
DUNHAM weight ROLLERS 
Ideal rollers for your home lawn. They can be 
filled with water to any weight you want so that the 
same roller is perfectly 
adapted for soft lawns, firm 
turf or driveway and tennis 
courts. 
Dunham Rollers are 
“roller bearing and muscle 
sparing.”

Furnace Heat 
Some look at the Kelsey Warm Air Genera¬ 
tor and class it with furnaces—those coal 
devouring, wind affected, gas belching and 
dust distributing monsters of unhappiness. 
The Kelsey Generator is constructed 
entirely different from any Hot Air Furnace. 
The fire box and combustion chamber is 
entirely surrounded by hollow zig-zag tubes. 
Fresh outside air is brought into these tubes 
and when heated, is delivered in large volumes 
at an agreeable oxygen laden Jhealthy tem¬ 
perature. 
These tubes act as sponges that absorb the 
heat, and heat the fresh air. Any room can be 
heated satisfactory Jin any weather against 
any wind. 
The Kelsey bothlheatsjand ventilates. 
It's an economizerfandlhealthizer.
