Mr.. Swayne said he could not I'M
derstand what the object was in
mentioning his name in connec-

Watson to congress. The letter,
according to MulhalFs testimony,
urged Mr.. Swayne to support that
candidate.
"If the letter was of any great i'm

away. The firm of Robinson & Co.

Color Value In Plants.

Color value in foliage Is a very I'm
portant point too often overlooked by
garden owners Homes surrounded BY
heavy masses OF dark. somber foliage
do not enjoy that cheerful. inviting
and hospitable appearance every homo
should bear. Dark and heavy foliage
should be kept In the rear OF a solid
background against which the brighter
and lighter parts OF the picture may
be disployed. As you come forward
use more bright incidentals also. In
the way OF Towering or perenniais. BE
consistent and intelligent In the dispc-
sition OF your plants and the effect
cannot fall to be harmonious.
