Private Roof Gardens,

Making the roof of your house into a roof

nice roof gardens, and many a Jolly party

lamps and small rooms seem unbearable.
But the best private roof garden yet heard

had to provide ShaWls and wraps for their

up there. One day the bright idea struck
them OF going up one flight higher, and
with their fathers consent, they had soon
made arrangements for what has turned
out to be most charming roof garden.
Boxes filed with flowers and a trellis work
of ivy surround the roof. There are plenty
of cane chairs, wooden benches and small
tables and there is hammock swung
across one corner If any one in the house

and had everything ready to serve long be-

the assistance of one maid they got along
splendidly and had no end of fun They
sang, they talked, the men smoked, and it

Writing in the Outlook of Children at
the SeasEore and on the Mountains" Gym
thia p DoZier says: There are two types of
summer hctel or boarding place to be found
in our country: The one, where everything
has been done for the comfort Of the men
and women who go there year after year,
and absolutely no provision made for the
children. There Is no play room; the
grounds are either too highly cultivated or
else too much occupied with tennis courts
and the like to leave any room for the little
ones; their only refuge is the bowling alley,
the loafing place of the employees Of the
hotel. The other type is the happy -go-lucky
place. where the children take entire pos
session. and the terms rude pert -
noisy" objectionable" are applied on all
occasions by the older people. These same
children, who go screaming and running
through parlors and corridors. are always
gorgeously arrayed for the dance in the
evening Wherever a nuisance exists We
may be sure there is vital lack somewhere.
The truth of this matter is that these same
objectionable children are trying to ad-
just themselves to new and often trying
conditions. Most of them have been i'm
school or kindergarten with regulated work
and play, and in their homes have a king
dom all their own in the nursery. 1t is
nothing short of cruel to leave them to
ignorant nurses. AID expect them to create
a happy environment. AT these same
sorts heads of families very quickly find
substitutes for club and social activity in
reading circles, whist clubs, sewing bees
and out-of-door amusements. The question
arises, what is to be done? First, let US
demand place for our children al the sum-
mer resort. play rooms and play grounds.
Second, enter into their pastimes and in
terests at these places What they most
need is directing word: they crave intel
ligent and comprehending sympathy.

Grating of Plants.

From Leisure Hours.
All gardeners know that curious plants
can be produced by grating, and to the
country it is no extraordinary sight to see
a tree bearing two kinds Of plum or pear as
the result of it. Mr.. A. w Sutton of the
great seed establishment at Reading has
lately described in the Journal of the ROYAL
Horticultural Society number of inter-
esting experiments made with tomato and
potato plants, these two being botanically
related to one another. potato tuber
was planted, and when 1t had attained the
height of few inches above the soil, the
stem was cut off and a tomato graft was
connected to it, AS result, the composite
plant produced crop of potatoes at the
roots, while the foliage above ground bore
a crop of tomatoes,' nourished by the po-
tato roots. The profess was then reversed.
a potato graft being introduced upon to-
mato stalks. The tomato roots did not pro-
duce potatoes 1but the potato plant above
ground first threw Iout potato flowers and
berries, and afteaHard produced tubers
from the axis Of the leaves and stems In
this case the designation of the potato as
q pomme de terre is evidently q misno-
mer 81 't
