Midnight brought with 1T drench-

There are now in the German EN-

Designs for Hanging baskets
From Good Housekaeninp

The designs for hanging baskets Of
fered by florists and wire-makers and
pottery and title-makers are very uumer-
Gus and attractive. If selections are made
from thes be certain to choose those large
enough-not less than twelve inches in di-
ameter and six inches in depth. Fill the
earth in even with the rim, and then let it
rise in the center. If only one or two
large plants are placed in the basket it is
we'll to moss over the surface with
lycOpOdium, or swamp moss, for this helps
keep in the moisture and saves trouble in
watering. The pretty wire baskets which
look like bowls of green velvet when hung
in the window must first be lined with
green moss, then filed in with soil and
lastly planted. Good-sized conk shells
will hold sufficient earth to grow vines
and are among the most graceful window
baskets. The edges must be bored for
wires, cords or ribbons by which the shell
is suspended. Light, rich soil should be
packed into shells, which look delightful
if planted with the blue blossoming lobelia
The rim of gourds and scallop squashes
make exceedingly pretty baskets for trail
ing plants. Cocoanut shells are useful
and pleasing for holding MOSES and
creepers. The ordinary kitchen wooden
bowl can be converted into an attractive
basket by boring few gimlet holes in the
bottom and sides. Take a bowl that is,
sixteen inches in diameter, and make
three holes at equal distance in the edge
by which to suspend it with cords. The
outside of the bowl may be embellished
with lichens and wood MOSES which
can be applied with glue, brass wire or
little brads. Plant such a basket with
bright green moneywort, with the differ
ent varieties of trascantia and soft bend
ing grasses, and it is truly, "a thing of
beauty.
