MOTT 
^JMFTY years ago The J. L. Mott Iron Works made 
the first enameled iron plumbing fixtures in America. 
Improvements in manufacturing methods and de¬ 
sign have been continuous, and today Mott’s Enameled 
Iron fixtures also represent the highest development in 
the production of this ware. 
Mott's Enameled Iron fixtures are made in a wide variety of designs, 
and are adapted for small residences, apartment houses, and other 
buildings where material of good quality at moderate price is desired. 
MODERN PLUMBING —Our Booklet “Modern Plumbing” shows where 
and how enameled iron fixtures should be used to secure the most satisfactory 
results. It shows 24 bathrooms equipped with Imperial Solid Porcelain and 
Enameled Iron fixtures, ranging in cost from $74 to $3,000. Sent on request

GETTING GENUINE MOTT WARE, 
LABEL ON EACH PIECE. 
A Butler’s Pantry Door 
should swing both ways; should close gently and 
without noise and stop at once at the centre 
without vibrating. The only way to accomplish 
this is to use the “BARDSLEY” CHECKING 
HINGE. It goes in the floor under the door 
and there are no ugly projections on the door.

A Bungalow Colony in a City 
( Continued from page 291) 
interesting chimney-piece of cobblestones 
or clinker brick. Pantries, china, linen 
and bedroom closets are excellently 
worked into seemingly waste places, and 
with unusual success the sleeping and ser¬ 
vice portions of all these bungalows are 
cut off from the living-room by a careful 
placing of the hallway and the massive 
chimney. 
Though planned to accommodate a 
group of congenial people and to remain 
under the supervision of the company in 
all matters of care and common service, 
this group of buildings affords as much 
privacy as is possible in houses set so near 
together. No two kitchens face each 
other, yet in no case does the kitchen of 
one cottage interfere with the living-room 
of another. Careful planning and the use 
of high casement windows over the book¬ 
cases or window-seats in the living-rooms 
have obviated this apparent difficulty. 
Each cottage has its vine-covered 
porch or terrace, its bit of lawn and 
flower-bed; while on pleasant afternoons 
congenial neighbors may come out from 
the seclusion of their own houses and 
take tea together under the pergola on 
shady seats around the central fountain. 
Making a Garden of the City 
Back Yard 
( Continued from page 295) 
At the corners of the summer-house 
plant grape-vines, enriching the soil very 
strongly. Draw up the shoots with 
strings until they reach the top; and it 
will be only a few weeks before they have 
spread a thick shade of broad leaves over 
the open rafters. 
Down one or both sides of the garden, 
outside the hedge, plant small thin-foli- 
aged trees; a row of dogwood or redbud, 
for example, will be joyous enough in 
early spring, but peaches with their clear 
pink blooms and bright fruit, are pleasing 
to more than one sense. 
Of course one may make many varia¬ 
tions on this simple design. For instance, 
the water pipe may be omitted, and an oc¬ 
casional dash of the hose depended on to 
keep the pond fresh; or, indeed, pond and 
all can be left out and a sun-dial or bird- 
bath substituted. Again, arborvitas, tree- 
box or holly might be used instead of 
privet for the hedges, though these will 
not give you the desirable height in so 
short a time. One could go on endlessly 
to suggest possible changes. But keep al¬ 
ways the main thought in mind: the little 
garden-walk, stretching away between 
green walls that shut in the flowers and 
sunshine and shut out the world.
