were required in addition. The next
thing was the planting Of the grass
seed. The plot planted was, about~50x
40 feet and fully a bushel of seed was
used The cost was about So. Plant
ing the seed, if done properly, is rec
commended rather than sodding. The
trouble usually experienced arises
from not using enough seed,
The cost of planting the flowers and
vines was insignificant. The mas
turium seeds were about rs cents, the
morning glory 20 cents, and the Jap
anese hop vines not more than 10
cents. The shrubbery was a little bit
more. Some berry bushes were plant
ed and in the corners, golden glow.
Along the walks, plants were set out
at the cost of about two cents a plant.
The work was all done by Mr.. Mey-
ers In his odd moments in the morn
ings and in the late afternoon. The
work never grew tiresome, altho, some
| times somewhat strenuous. Mr., Mey-

ground converted into a lawn, Mr..
Meyers has a" vegetable garden. Every
thing has been done to make the gar
den also a thing of beauty. The walks
are lined with sweet peas and the
plants are grown on raised terraces.
At present the lawn and garden re-
quire little attention. The great secret
of success lies in keeping everything
we'll watered, especially when first
planted. The lawn has the appear
ance of velvet and is used as a croquet
ground. One or two days before cut
ting the grass it is not used. This
allows the grass to straighten up.
Every spring a little, grass, seed is SCAT
tered over the plot.
The work started by Mr.. Meyers has
been initiated in the neighborhood.
Several lots have been cleared Of rub
bish and grass has been planted. AL
ready one eyesore, a sunken lot on
Girard avenue, has been reclaimed.
Most of the work has been done by
property owners personally and they
seem to enjoy the work as much as
the results. The cost is practically
nothing and the results astonishing.

Flowers and vines have been sub
stituted for rubbish by J. E. Meyers
in the vacant lot in the rear Of his
residence, 2640 Fremont avenue S.
The Transformation has been accom-
plished at small cost and some time
and trouble. Mr.. Meyers is a pioneer
in the movement started by the Shady
side Improvement association and the
work done is a sample of what may be
accomplished in identifying the resi-
dence sections of the city.
The original work was done about
three years ago and now the results
may be seen. At first the work seemed
heroic. The topography of the land
was discouraging. At one end of the
lot there was a deep hole and the rest
was divided into hillocks and ravines.
The whole had grown up with rank
weeds and there was a collection OF
rubbish of several years standing.
The first thing done was the filling
up Of the holes in the lot. This was
mostly done by Mr.. Meyers in his snare
hours, altho he hired a workman from
the city mission for one or two days
About twenty loads of black earth
