r. tel my wife that she can have her
flower beds anywhere she pleases But on
the lawn generously volunteered the
proprietor of an ideal bit of turf which
he had snatched from the surrounding
wilderness that stretched ragged weeds to
the very fence, and dressed in a neat suit
Of finest green. .ss.
It is this alteration Of the lawn which is
making women turn, even as their English
sisters long since turned, to window boxes.
Women must have flowers, and the hour S
work In the moist earth among the tender
plants has saved many of them from ner-
Vous prostration. If they cannot have
flowers on the lawn they will have them in
the windows, and the box of training
vines, at1ame with nasturtiums or vivid
with geraniums, has grown to be a part
OF mansion or cottage. When rightly
placed so as: to accentuate the lines OF

against the house has no part in it and is
an abomination that rots the siding and it's

ORGANIZED HORTICULTURAL
WORK s

s. Probably every many of the recent ad-
ditions to the ranks of the enthusiastic
gardens of the state do not know how
much they and all others Of like tastes and
interests are indebted ito the Minnesota
horticultural society >which has been in
existence nearly forty years. The society
has from the first enlisted the interest and
the cordial CO operation of the men who
have been active in developing the horti-
cultural possibilities Of the state. The i'm
portance of the work of the society re-
ceives official recognition from the state
through a provision for printing the re-
ports OF the society and through a small
appropriation for it's other work. &
The purpose of the horticultural society
is the gathering and dissemination OF
knowledge pertaining to forestry fruit
and vegetable growing, the culture OF
f1oWsrs, ETC., adapted to the soil and
climate of Minnesota. Not only are many
of the 1,24S members engaged, in prac-
teal horticultural work, through which
they arc steadily adding to the genera
knowledge Of the subject, but the society
arranges for trial stations in different sec
tions Of the state, where members make

discussed at the semi mi-annual meetings of
society which are largely attended. AT
the meetings also there are very fine eX-

block, where the secretary, A. w. Latham,
is always ready to discuss any horticultu-
raj point and give information, as well as
to transact the usual business of the>so-

The society has a sprinkling of women
members, who take an active part in it's
affairs, but they are also banded together
in a separate but closely associated organ
iZation, the Woman's Auxiliary. of which
Miss Emma V. White, the Minneapolis
seedswoman, is president, and Mrs. Anna
B. Underwood. secretary of the Jewell
Nursery company of Lake City, is the
secretary. Mrs. Underwood explains the
mission Of the auxiliary to be the effa cling
of the general impression that beautiful
surroundings demand greater eXpendi-
ture Of time and money than most people
have time to give. Mrs. Underwood finds
cause for encouragement in an ever in
creasing interest in the great outdoors
which forms such an important feature of
an ideal home life. She notes in a report
made to the society the tendency for
farmers and their families to flock into
the towns and smaller cities on account
of the cheerless conditions of their farm
homes She continues:
Strange as it may seem, the plea for
improved conditions in country living and
surroundings receives it's greatest support
among intelligent city people, who are
awakening to the fact that the city with
it's crowded buildings and infrequent
breathing places is not the most desirable
place on earth in which to live. The pos

NOTES CONCERNING FLOWERS

Eben E. Rexfords in Good Housekeeping.
The sweet pea eannot attach itself very
well to strings. 1t may seem to attempt
climbing them, but the first rough wind
that comes along viii loosen the vines,
and down they will slip: Brusll-just

the sweet pea better than anything else
l have ever tried as a support. 1t may
not be, very attractive, at first, but as
soon as the vineslcoYer it, you will appre-
ciate Its merit. for row Of sweet peas
trained over such support will have a
grace that a firm, stiff; straight up and
down trellis never permits them to take
on. Coarse meshed wire netting is much
preferable to strings as a support Be
sure to SOW youf sweet peas as early as
the soil is in a condition to bed up Much
Of ones success depends on an early start.
Get them to growing before warm weather
comes And SO plan as to get theroots of
the plants down where the. soil is damp
and cool. This can be done by. sowing
the seeds in trenches. at least six inches
deep. Cover to the depth of an. inch, at
sowing time, and fill in about the plants
as they reachl UP, until all the soil taken
from the trench is returned to it.. Sweet
peas grown in this way will withstand the
trying effects Of hot midsummer weather
while shallow planted ones will generally
fail at that time.i. RI II, sass 81:

profitable and pleasant. 1t is not likely
that the United States will ever become

herself In possession of an apparently
worn out farm, the former owner of which

grown with bulbs, many Of them worth
less, some valuable. Fond of flowers her

and at once it occurred to her to sell
some of them. In a few years she built
up a good business. She has imported
the best Dutch bulbs and grows from

One-half I edevoted to tomatoes, and in

the remaining fourth was subdivided into
beds for lettuce, radlshes. beets and
kitchen herbs. -. =. g.. .-:v,.5 -. r.. ..
When tn peas were through bearing,
the vines were cleared away and late beans
planted. At this time late tomato plant
found a footing wherever an available spot
nj the garden was discovered. Lettuce and

furnishing a constant supply CT tender
vegetables. In due time the early bean
vines made way for turnip seed. Ill.,. -

Of my garden was not in the garden at all,

INCREASED in VALUE
Business Property Advances
$4,000 in Value in One Year.
FROM $4,000 TO $4,000
Newton Man Purchased More
Wichita property.

Yesterday the two-story brick building
at l26 North Main street, which was
bought by c. L. Davidson one year ago
for 81 0vc. was sold To H. NJ. Walt of
Newton Tor $4,000. showing an increase
of value within one year of $500.
This building was built by Deacon
by him until sold TO Mr.. Davidson. it
has a twenty-five foot front and is 40
feet log. 1t is now occupied by Earps
shoe store and its location makes it
very valuable piece OF property, bringing
in a large income annually. Mr.. David
son purchased the building in June one
year ago as an investment and besides
large rentals it has almost cleared him
s., 900 in twelve months. When he pur-
chased the building il was thought that
he paid a big price for it, but now the
figures for which it sold yesterday are
not considerable anything but reason
able. Property has increased in value in
every portion of the city and some build
ings have changed hands within the past
year at even a greater increase than this
one. Even the few little shacks which
still remain and which could be had a
few years ago for song have increased
in value to figures that were not
dreamed of by the owners four years
ago. Not only has business property in
creased in value, but residence property
is keeping pace showing that prosperity
is general all over the city. Few people
want to sell what property they have,
while there are many buyers.
II. NJ. Walt, who purchased the prop
erty. is a Newton man who has faith
in Wichita real estate and who is willing
TO back up his faith with the cash. Since
January l he has invested nearly 100000
in Wichita property. About the first Of
the year he purchased the Whine build
ing for $4,000, and yesterday added $4,000
to that amount in buying the building
from Mr.. Davidson. The Winnie building
pays a good income on the investment
and by it Mr. Walt was encouraged to
invest more.
