CITY ROSE HEDGE.
How a Small Back Yard Was Easily
Made a Beauty Spot.


Iron fences can easily be made at
tractive and greatly enhance the
beauty Of a town by following the
scheme described IN this article:
There Is a little two story house on
a street IN West Philadelphia that
boasts one Of the prettiest rose hedges
that ever reminded the tired city
dwellcr OF green lawns and country
gardens. The house has, as most West
} philadelphia houses do. wee bit OF
soddcd yard behind it-Only a few feet
square and surrounded by a low iron
fence.
over this fence the roses trail, gay
crimson ramblers and dainty pink ram
blers and rare bits Of swcctbrlcr. From
the street through the narrow distance
that separates the house from It's neigh
boring pair the passerby catches
glimpscs Of what looks like some love
ly pleasure garden. In the warm days
the family who live IN the little house
all the year around cat their supper in
"A corner Of the yard beside the roses.
and on summer afternoons they enter
tain callers there. IL is one OF the
prettiest places In town, this back yard
OF little two story house.
And all that the wise housewife did
was 20 buy some little rose plants, the
climbing kind. and train them over that
ugly wire fence.

Hiah Culture Manifest.

Surely we are undergoing a pleas
ing development In civic life In the
matter Of municipal beauty, cleanliness
and conveniences. Those places are
indeed behind the times which provide
no resting places, drinking fountains
and evidence Of community pride and
thrift The individual may help much
toward the desired goal II he only
cleans and cares for his own premises
IN proper manner. Work OF this
kind, like the measles, Is highly con-
taglous and soon affects the community
generally. Visitors wonder why such
place IS 50 much more attractive
than others similarly situated and are
unconsclously attracted and II looking
for home VIII not fail to consider the
live, up TO date appearance when the
final decision TO settle Is made. Tidy
up your premises and brighten the
scene with a few flowers.
