It took a world of patience and plan¬ 
ning to work it out, I know — of match¬ 
ing np colors and grading them by 
grading and changing plants. But it is 
worth it all, once the effect is arrived 
at. Deep, deep red mounting higher to 
the brightest, purest color, and this in 
turn passing up through barely percept¬ 
ible gradations until pink of the most 
brilliant quality is reached, this at last 
giving way to blush, and this at last to 
white — ah! Let me attest a gasp of de¬ 
light worth working for. And here is 
white in the only way it can be intro¬ 
duced as anything but a negative, I am 
sure. 
Just for the color harmony of them, 
regardless of space and general garden 
effect, pale blue and pale yellow may 
enter into combination, said the artist; 
and flowers of deep blue and strong, 
deep yellow; and flowers of deep yellow 
and strong purple; and flowers of pink 
and lavender; and flowers of white and 
gold. Aconitum Fischeri (monkhood) 
and Hemerocallis Hava (day-lily) will 
furnish the first; Anchusa Italica, Drop- 
more variety (bugloss), and Hypericum 
Moserianum (St. John’s wort) the sec¬ 
ond ; Coreopsis lanceolata and Delphin¬ 
ium atropurpureum (larkspur) the third; 
Anemone japonica, Queen Charlotte and 
Delphinium belladonna the fourth; phlox 
in white varieties, and day lilies in va¬ 
riety, the fifth; and, of course, many 
other things too numerous to be set 
down here. These things I am trying 
planting them now, to see which I shall 
like the best, and so to work out a some¬ 
thing for next year. But I shall never 
desert my own old standby of pink and 
lavender — Campanula medium in its pink 
variety, and Delphinium belladonna — a 
combination which, when in bloom in 
masses together, makes me tingle all over 
with the ecstasy of their beauty!

Sitting on little rush bottom chairs around 
the old table set with dainty luster 
dishes and choice glass one receives more 
refreshment than comes from food. On 
the dining-room table throughout the 
season were the flowers of the borage 
in a pretty gray jar. The Craftsman had 
read in the flower catalogues that the 
bees love borage, and so its seeds were 
planted, but the bees were not the only 
ones to enjoy the prettv star-shaped blos¬ 
soms in blue and pink.

Costly Tires 
Which Cost You Less Than Most Others 
During 1913 , the prices on Goodyear 
No-Rim-Cut tires dropped 28 per cent. 
There are numerous tires now which 
they far undersell. So the question comes: 
Is any tire worth more than Goodyears? 
The Facts Are These 
In several ways No-Rim-Cut tires are 
the costliest tires that are built. They are 
so costly that, when our output was smaller, 
their price was one-fifth higher than other 
standard tires. 
tires which carry our double-thick All- 
Weather Tread. 
The Mileage Limit 
No-Rim-Cut tires, on the average, give 
the limit of possible mileage. We say this 
after years of research and experiment, 
which have cost us $100,000 per year. 
Our experts in these years have made 
thousands of attempts to build tires that 
give more mileage. They have tested the 
new tires against the old in every way they 
know. And they say that Goodyear tires 
as made to-day mark the mileage limit. 
They are the only tires which are final- 
cured on air bags shaped like inner tubes. 
This is done to save the countless blow-outs 
due to wrinkled fabric. This extra process 
adds to our tire cost $ 1,500 daily — an extra 
cost which no other maker pays. 
They are the only tires in which hun¬ 
dreds of large rubber 
rivets are formed to 
combat tread separa¬ 
tion. 
They are the only 
tires made in a satisfac¬ 
tory way so that they 
can’t be rim-cut. 
They are the only

Where We Save 
We save by mammoth output,, by effi¬ 
ciency and by modest profits. Our profit 
last year averaged 6H per cent. It is thus 
we give you tires like these at present Good¬ 
year prices. 
Men have bought, in the past two years, 
more than two million of 
them. Bought them be¬ 
cause mileage records 
had proved them the 
best tires built. 
It is easy to build tires 
worth less than Good¬ 
years, but men can’t 
build a tire worth more.

Your Lawn Needs Rolling 
Before Rolling 
The sod is heaved away 
from the sub-soil, and full 
of cracks and spaces in 
which the roots dry out 
and die. 
After Rolling 
The roller presses the sod 
back, makes the soil firm 
so that it holds moisture 
and keeps the grass green. 
It discourages ants, grubs, 
etc. 
Give the lawn a good rolling early this spring and at in¬ 
tervals through the summer, and watch results.
