by way OF the roots, and will form a
thick. fragrant curtain Of light green,

creases SO rapidly that one must be
careful TO prevent its crowding out
other less aggressive neighbors.
Scarlet runner beans are a great IA
vorite in northern climes for yearly
planting, as are the wild cucumbers
with their tracery leaves and tendrfls
and their cool prickly fruit pods.
OF course where climbing roses can
be successfully grown, there is abso.
lutely nothing TO compare with them
in their gorgeous magnifcence. They
call for the same soil conditions and
care as bush roses. but they are less
hardy as a rule in the inland and
northern states.
In the eastern states and anywhere
that cool, moist summer and even
winter temperature prevails, the Eng.
lish Ivy grows in profusion. Nothing
can be more satisfactory. particularly
In connection with stone or brick
structures of massive appearance. 1t

Bread and Ham on Waters Bring Back Shave

O'Bryan is a follower Of DIR. Wiley's

carries a modest little lunch. The

very well. However, he made away
with all his lunch with the exception
