EAUTY that lasts a life- 
time is what you get in 
a Kimball & Chappell solid 
brass bed. C o r r ec t and 
charming designs to match 
the furniture of any good per¬ 
iod or style. Cleanly Golden 
metal — honest solid brass ■—- which 
neither warps, shrinks nor wears out, 
but stands up under every strain. 
Age - proof, climate - proof, proof 
against heat and corroding damp be¬ 
cause its satin surfaces are locked 
under twelve coats of imported Ry- 
lamber lacquer, hand-applied and 
baked on. Sizes and widths to fit 
any chamber, whether you live in 
cottage, bungalow, city apartment or 
stately mansion. 
Your beds are used more and mean more to 
your comfort and health than any other fur¬ 
nishings in your home. Kimball & Chappell 
brass beds give you supreme comfort and abso¬ 
lute cleanliness at the least outlay of money 
and care. Wiping off with a clean soft cloth is 
the only demand they make on a housewife’s 
time and strength. 
Let us send you our spring Style Books and 
samples of tubing which will teach you the 
amazing difference between our solid brast and 
the veneered iron pipe in beds made to sell.

nothing. Order plants to be delivered 
May first. Once set in place they will 
need no further attention. 
With the suggestion that the business 
man plant a few shrubs for winter cheer— 
the sumach and the barberry, for instance, 
I will leave him to his exceedingly light 
labors and his most abundant rewards. 
Effects That May Be Had With 
Shrubbery This Year 
(Continued from page 265) 
soil than dry roots into a wet, soggy soil. 
The soil should be moderately moist, how¬ 
ever. When there is delay in setting plants 
keep them in a cellar with moist earth at 
the roots. If they have dried very much, 
it will be helpful to let the roots of roses 
and such plants soak in tepid water for an 
hour before planting. 
Have the soil rich with leaf mould, well 
rotted manure or bone-meal not prepared 
with acid. After the plants are set give 
them water about the roots. 
The soil should be kept loose above the 
roots of shrubbery until they have become 
mature plants, at least. 
When planting shrubbery near hedges, 
it is well to protect it from hedge roots by 
sinking planks in the soil on the hedge 
side to a depth of two feet. 
Applications of soot about the bloom¬ 
ing plants have a tendency to deepen the 
color. 
Annuals That Should Be Better 
Known

shades, is the best for the garden and, 
though it comes into flower very quickly, 
it is well to give the seed a little start of 
the season. The schizanthus is especially 
valuable for filmy effects—to lend light¬ 
ness to the garden. 
I should be the last one to drive the 
common morning-glorv from the garden, 
for I shall ever regard it as among the 
loveliest of all annuals. But there are far 
greater glories of the dawning day. Most 
magnificent of all is the ipomea, known 
as the Japanese morning-glory. In Japan 
it is one of the chief cultivated flowers, 
being grown a great deal in pots for im¬ 
mense specimen blooms. The superb 
coloring of the blossoms, as well as the 
greater luxuriance, makes it vastly su¬ 
perior to the ordinary type. Notably 
beautiful are the deep blue and solferino 
varieties with a wide margin of white and 
thashes-of-roses shade. The pity is that 
reliable seed is somewhat a matter of 
chance; I, myself, have had both the best 
and the worst of luck. So far as I can 
see the sole solution of the problem is to 
keep on trying until you secure a su¬ 
perior strain and then save your own seed 
from the choicest blooms. Any failures 
will be lost sight of in ultimate success. 
A nickel will buy a package of mixed 
seed, but half a dollar for a collection of 
nine varieties is a sounder investment.
