NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
up the plants during a January thaw, 
and got remarkably good results by 
dividing them at that unusual season. 
Some of the ground was frozen and I 
put the plants in the sunlight to thaw 
out.. This gave me a row the full 
length of the lot (114 feet), clear 
across the back (forty-five feet) and 
along the other side as far as the house. 
The fourth year I doubled the whole 
border (now 220 feet long) by making 
it two feet wide. Thus I estimate that 
I have about three thousand plants, 
all healthy, prolific and remarkably 
uniform. I wonder if any other ama- 
teur has propagated so large a stock 
from so small a beginning in four 
years, and whether such a record 
would be possible with any other plant 
than the wonderful Golden Glow? I 
believe it is the most popular hardy 
perennial introduced during the last 
twenty-five years. What a fortune 
for some one who could get it in other 
colors! 
The fence is now hidden by a living 
wall of green, and I have untold 
thousands of flowers from August un- 
til frost. Nor do I find it monotonous 
because it is all one kind of plant. 
Ordinarily, the Golden Glow grows 
apout six feet high, but with me it at- 
tains nine or ten feet. To keep it 
from falling forward, I have invented 
a little scheme for keeping the plants 
in place, which is effective and practi- 
cally invisible. Vertical stakes six feet 
high, about an inch wide and thick, 
and painted dark green, are placed 
every ten feet in a row parallel with 
the fence and about two and a half 
feet away from it. These stakes carry 
a wire near the top, which prevents 
the flowers from falling forward. 
Every two feet I have a wire from 
fence to running wire to keep them 
from sagging in wind or rain storms. 
The other plants shown in the pict- 
ure are dahlias, Lavatera (an excellent 
pink and white flower of-the mallow 
family) and candytuft. J. S. REEp.

Stage Pictures and Songs. 
Rarely. have audiences been so 
pleasantly taken by surprise_as those 
which have assembled at the Tremont 
Theatre to greet the much boomed 
and long anticipated musical play, 
“The Cingalee.’’ Apart from its 
spectacular effects, ‘“‘ The Cingalee’’ 
may be voted one of the most success- 
ful of modern musical comedies. The 
score is full of tuneful melodies, and 
contains several numbers which can- 
not fail to take the public fancy. The 
funny Monkey Duet by Mr. Norris 
and Miss Julia Millard promises to be 
one of the humorous ditties of the 
season. The cast. is exceptionally 
strong. The production will remain 
at the Tremont Theatre all next week.
