Climbing vines are coming more and
more in use every year. Weare learning
how to nse them and yet have much to
learn. The purple and white varieties
of the Clematis trained together are
beautiful when in flower. A fine dis
position of the Clematis is to train it on
a frame over and around q window. A
wire frame is the nsatest, but IL ccah be
made of wood II more convenient. Old
stumps and dead tree trunks can be
made objects Of beauty by setting plants
OF the tClematis at their bases and train
ing them ove them. Here or there an
arch OF rustic work spanning a walk
can be overgrown with these plants and
be made very attractive. To obtain
best results pruning is required much.

Benefits Of Snow.
The Massachusetts Plowman sums
up the benefits which snow confers on
the farmer by showing that it affords
protection to grass, roots, and all Creep
ing vines. The snow not only protects
the vegetation which it covers up, by
siheltering it from the cold winds and
sudden changes OF weather, but it pre-
vents the frequent freezing and thawing
of the ground, which is so destructive
to small roots that are near the surface,
and which are often lifted entirely out
of the ground by the actions of the frost.

in the spring to thaw it out and warm it
up sufficiently to start vegetation; but

Raising Asters.
No flowers is more popular than the
aster, says Vick's Floral Guide, andfew
have held SO high q place in popular es-
TEEN for SO many years, and it is still
growing in favor. For an autumn show
of flowers we were about to say, wehave
not its equal, but we are reminded that
when we get enthusiastic over any Of
our special favorites we are ready to say
the same thing about q good many, like
the mother Of each Of her children.
Perhaps we can safely say that for an
autumn display it has no successful
rival among the ANIMALS. Give the aster
a deep, rich soil, and mulching with
coarse manure is very beneficial, and II
extra fine flowers are needed for exhibi-
ton or any other purpose, a little liquid
anu occasionally will give the most
gratifying results. Plants may be grown
in the hot bed, cold-frame, OIL o seed
bed in the garden, but to obtain good
flowers the aster plant must be strong
and 'stocky." A plant that is what the
gardeners call s'drawn" will never. pro-
duce very fine flowers. A drawn,
is onethat, by being crowded in the seed
bed, or some other cause, has become
tall, slender and weak. The aster trans
plants easily. Twelve inches apart ID
the proper distance for making 4 snowy
bed Of the large varieties; the dwarf,
kinds may be set SIX inches or less. It'
is not best Rto have faasterrssf
flower too earlyin the season, and there
need beno haste in7starting seed in the
spring, for the aster, like the dahlia, is
essentially a fall flower, and the flowers
are always the largest and most perfect
and enduring in the showery weather
and cool, dewy nights of autumn. The
fall varieties with large flowers need q
little support, or during storms Of wind
and rain they are often blown down
and their beauty destroyed when in full
blossom. Set q stake in.,the ground
near the stem, SO that It's top is only
about two-thirds the height Of the
plant, then fasten the main branches to
the stake BIZ means of loops, but do not
pass the string around the whole plant.
The Eouss was Good But out 0 fssyle.
"Let me show yon how to modernize
q house," said o prominent architect
yesterday. II do not care if the struc-
ture is as bare as q barn externally, q
good architect, with little expense, can
add a few details which will completely
change its appearance and make it rival
any Of the most recent homes. Here,
now, is the photograph of q residence
on Winder street, as it was six months
ago. The house is large, expensive
and on 8 fine lot, yet you see it is
perfectly square in structure and de-
cidedly unimposing on q street where
there are modern residences. The
owner understood this and wanted it
remedied. The change is being made
now. The square appearance is reliered
by o French roof, which really adds
another story. On one side a small
wing has been placed, with q bay win
dow in. front running up to the roof.
There is no pointed work which has
created surh dislike oflate. The build
ing is fully Us substantial in style as be-
fore, yet you would think it a new struc-
ture. -
