COVERING WALLS
WITH WISTARIA
Common Purple Variety Is Best
Adapted to Hide Great
Vacant Spaces-
Needs Pruning.
CBy WALTER B. LEUTz.)

We seldom see great wall spaces
covered with wistaria. yet it is to
our eye the most beautiful flower for
that purpose that grows.
The Japanese wistaria is not so
well adapted to this purpose as the
common royal purple flower of Amer
lea. To get the best results the vine
must be constantly pruned and kept
back for two or three years, else it
will run in long streamers and the
flowers will hang straight down. The
vines must be trained to run in all
directions.
We can never forget the wall of a
large old house in Richmond, Va, that
is covered with this beautiful flower.
The wall is about seventy feet high
and is one soft mass of ravishing
beauty In this climate the vine needs
no attention after it has once been
we'll started, and blooms early and
late.

BUILDING STORES ON WALNUT STREET.

The owner of the National Hotel is
having the first floor of that building
changed into large store rooms which
will afford opportunity for doing business
on large scale for those who occupy
them. The charter and ordinances of
Milford both prescribe that between
Second Street in North Milford, and
Second Street in South Milford, there
shall be no building erected out of any
materials other than brick, stone or
iron, for a distance of two hundred feet
from the building lines along Walnut
Street. By some misunderstanding the
owner of the property thought that he
could take down the old buildings in the
rear, and rebuild the rooms over the
land with frame ; but the charter and
ordinances plainly state that such shall
not be done, and the City Attorney,
has given his advice to the President of
Town Council, that if such building is
erected, that lit would have to be removed
and the penalty for the infringement of
the laws be imposed. This would in
deed be a hardship, and the individual
members of council after inspecting
the work, decided that the work would
be permitted to go on provided that a
brick veneer" be built about the ex-
terror of the walls. This is not any con-
addition to the cost of building,
as the Notwithstanding and painting
the same will be to deduct from the
cost of finishing. These stores will be
73 feet deep, and % feet wide, with
large glass fronts, and as the floors will
be lowered even with the sidewalks, the
ceilings will be unusually high. When
the new stores in the Jump Block are
and these stores in the Natl
onal Hotel are finished, this will be
zeal comeback" for North Walnut
Street and business should continue there
,or years to come. The trouble in the
centre of Milford has been in

N the part of the property owners, and

RUMORS OF A BUILDING
OUTLOOK FOR MILFORD

There are many rumors of buildings
that may be erected in Milford during
the year 1912, but unfortunately there
are but few operations absolutely deter
mined upon. And now that the season
for building will soon open up, there
seemingly does not develop anything to
induce one to think that the year 1912 will
be marked by any very extensive build
ing operations in Milford or its suburbs.
1t is rumored that the Torsch Packing
Company will erect large packing house
of concrete blocks some 10Ox25O feet in
size and of similar construction to the
large warehouse which was built by this
firm last summer.
1t is said that Mrs. Lydia C. Jump
will erect a block of four stores on the
west side of North Walnut Street where
the buildings were burned out by the
recent fire. The work of clearing up the
debris is well under way and undoubt-
edly an early start will be had.
Already the old National Hotel has
been torn out as to its first floor and
this is being transformed into three
stores each about 22xSO feet large and
spacious. The work is being done for
Mr.. DeValinger, the owner by Vincent
NJ. D. Harrington, the contractor, who
purposes having them in readiness for
business occupancy by July 1st This
alteration will materially improve the
appearance of the locality of Front and
Walnut Streets and may be the means
of restoring at least in a measure the
lost business of these corners. The stores
will have modern glass fronts and it is
understood that two of the stores are
already rented.
Robert P. Davis, ESQ.,, will undoubt-
edly erect a handsome brick residence
on Lake View Avenue, just opposite the
handsome home of DR.. Frank L. Grier.
A feature of this house, the plans Of
which are on the boards of Charles G.
Fisher, architect, will be its spacious
sun parlor with quaint old fireplace. It
is highly probable that the building at
present standing on the lot will be re-
moved to lot a block further back On
Eugenia Avenae, adjoining one of the
very pretty houses recently erected by
I. Dolphus Short.
The residence of George D. Truitt is
about being finished and it is highly
probable that there win be several quite
residences loom up during
he season on the Hazard lots on South
Street and on Lake View Avenue,
which localities are seemingly vieing

LARGE CANNING PLANT
To LOCATE AT HOUSTON

The widely and favorably known can
ming firm of Stetson & Ellison of Cam
den, this State, having selected Houston
as an advantageous point for the estab-
fishing of a canning factory have been
fortunate in obtaining site, well adapted
for the purpose, in the northwest part
of Houston, on the street leading into
the Williamsville road. The lot has a
depth of 656 feet back to the line of
lands of the D., M. & V. R. R. Co., and
a width of 247 feet along the railroad
lands. The people of Houston are very
enthusiastic over the possibilities which
may be developed by this new industry,
the requirement of which is very largely
due to the efforts of John C. Wharton,
Esq, from whom the lot was purchased
on Tuesday last.
A canvas is already being made for
tomato contracts, and as the method of
the firm is to pay cash for tomatoes
upon their delivery they will undoubt-
edly be able to secure contracts to their
utmost capacity without any material
trouble or difficulty.
The lines of the lot were run out on
Tuesday last by Charles G. Fisher, civil
engineer, and it is understood that build
ing operations will begin in few days
in order to have everything in readiness
for this seasons tomato pack. There !
will be included in the pack of this new
industry peas, corn, tomatoes and other
vegetables as we'll as all kinds of pack
able fruits. This means much for Hous-
ton and we predict for the new industry
all possible success under the able man
agement of William Pennewill.

Emory, residing one mile West of Mil

for more than thirty years did
not only farm work but was the family

much of the driving to town until two
