[House BEAUTIFUL for Jane 'Page 21 ] 
In the seledtion of this time-tried in¬ 
terior trim for the House Beautiful 
house just completed at West Newton, 
Mass., the builders anticipated three 
major home building requirements: 
moderate cost — unlimited choice in 
stained or enameled treatment—per¬ 
manent satisfaction. 
7ou, Mr. Homebuilder, will find it 
Is Fall Planting Universally Possible? 
(Continued from page 56) 
say extremely warm sunlight, during 
cold weather. High winds are drying— 
unless they come from bodies of water 
—and often cause irreparable injury to 
the bark even of established specimens. 
They are almost sure to dry out the 
bark of fall planted material to a fatal 
degree. And warm sunlight also in¬ 
jures the bark hopelessly, burning as 
well as drying it. 
H OW shall one decide whether or not 
to undertake planting operations 
in the fall? What are the infallible 
signs that say “go ahead,” or “forbear?” 
If extremes prevail, we know immedi¬ 
ately that fall planting is not generally 
advisable—that it is in fact an opera¬ 
tion increasing in ratio with the intensi¬ 
ty of these extremes—but if a locality 
enjoys generally moderate conditions, it 
is fairly certain to be favorable to fall 
planting. 
If there is much snow which normally 
stays on the ground over a long period 
uninterruptedly, go ahead; but if it is 
likely to thaw and lie on the surface 
of the ground as water or ice, abandon 
the idea. If there is much wind coming 
either from a cold mountain range or 
overland so that it lacks moisture, do not 
plant or transplant in the fall; but if in 
the direction of the prevailing winter 
winds there is a body of water which 
tempers these winds—a body of water 
on the north that freezes does not al¬ 
ways come within this stipulation—it 
will be safe to go ahead. In addition 
to these outside conditions, examine the 
earth and consider whether the soil is 
heavy and dense or light enough to be 
called loam; and here again if extremes 
exist, consider the answer negative if 
you would be on the safe side. 
As to the material which may and 
may not be transplanted in the fall, 
there is one general rule which may 
safely be followed. This is to avoid 
doing anything with thin barked trees 
or shrubs such as the beech, birch, 
cherry, peach, or plum—anything in¬ 
deed which has a close, smooth, satin 
textured bark—in the fall; and also the 
wide leaved evergreens, such as rhodo¬ 
dendron, laurel, boxwood and all of 
that class of material. 
Finally, when fall planting is done, 
bear in mind always that the plant will 
not actually take hold upon the earth 
until spring stimulates it into activity; 
hence the action of the frost during the 
late winter or in the spring will almost 
certainly lift it bodily out of the ground 
owing to its repellent or expansive force, 
unless precautions are taken to prevent 
this happening. These precautions con¬ 
sist simply in holding the frost in the 
earth until the settled weather of late 
spring brings it forth gradually; and 
frost is thus held captive by blanketing 
the earth to a depth of from 10 " to 20 " 
as soon as it is well frozen, with a 
blanket of loose leaves or other non¬ 
heating compost.
