TOCKS that merely throw a short bolt 
across the gap between door and 
door-post, no longer protect you. Such 
locks the burglar of today can pick, pry 
or force open almost as easily as though 
he owned a duplicate key. 
But there is one lock which the most skilled or 
reckless housebreaker cannot overcome—the 
new Yale Guard Lock shown above. 
The Yale Guard Lock 
can be placed on any 
door in addition to its 
present lock. 
In appearance it is 
suitable for the finest 
private or business en¬ 
trance. 
For this lock has special burglar'proof qualities 
all its own: at the turn of the key, two heavy, 
hard'bron2,e hook bolts interlock with the strike, 
and are immovably held in this position by a 
third bolt which wedges the two. 
Have your hardware dealer or loc 1 {smith put 
a Yale Guard Loc\ on for you today. An un¬ 
usual booklet entitled: "Have You Ever Seen a 
Burglar’s Kit?” will be sent postpaid on request. 
For house, garage, 
apartment, store, office, 
warehouse and factory 
use. no lock gives equal 
security.

species itself, they can be successfully 
kept if placed in a protected situation. 
When transplanting, the plant should 
always have a large root system and large 
ball of soil adhering to it for best 
results. 
good shade enduring plant is Vi¬ 
burnum, many species of which are excep¬ 
tionally well adapted for places more or 
less thickly shaded. They are well worth 
cultivating, are very attractive and excep¬ 
tionally decorative. In the dense twilight 
of the thick forest canopy these bushes 
will refuse to flower although they will 
exist in such unfavorable localities. The 
best forms are Viburnum lantana, V. 
dentatum, and V. acerijolium. The latter 
prefers a somewhat dry soil while the 
former does best in more moist tj’pe. 
Layers rapidly multiply this shrub. 
dwarf bush having evergreen foliage 
is represented by Skimmia japonica. In 
protected situations this plant will thrive 
although it may be placed in quite a deep 
shade. But then it requires a peaty soil 
with good drainage. It is a native of 
Japan and seldom attains a height of one 
foot. Propagation is carried out through 
seeds sown in a sandy peat under glass. 
Cuttings can also be taken in the fall and 
these must also be placed under glass for 
root formation. .V similar soil is de¬ 
manded by Gaultheria, a dwarfed creep¬ 
ing shrub having dark, leathery leaves. It 
is most conveniently propagated through 
layers or suckers. Creeping in growth is 
also the Japanese Euvonynius radicans. 
Unrestricted in growth, this plant forms 
far-reaching branches along the ground 
which it covers like a carpet. Propagation 
is carried out through seeds. Euvonymus 
americana obovata can be used in a 
similar way, although it is more common 
as a climber. 
Ilex is also a well defined shade enduring 
plant, preferring a fresh, somewhat moist 
type of soil, rich in food value but not 
marshy. It is a plant quite slow in 
growth and will only withstand trans¬ 
planting in its youth. Older species can 
only be transplanted when exceptional 
care is taken not to disturb their root 
system. Ilex should not be exposed to the 
full glare of the winter’s sun. Propagation 
is carried out through seeds sown in 
boxes in the fall. One year later they 
begin to germinate. They can also be 
multiplied through cuttings. 
The yew, Taxus baccata, is the last 
of the shade enduring bushes to be men¬ 
tioned. It withstands quite a dense shade, 
is unassuming in its soil requirements, but 
grows very slowlj^ and for this reason 
alone it can only be used under certain 
special conditions. This is the only 
coniferous tree which will do well under 
the shade of other trees.
