Flowers on Top,

A good plan for the concealment OF
the unsightly garbage can is to have
built two stands to be placed on
either side of the kitchen porch steps
large flower pots with plants being
placed on top. The stands should be
built just large enough to contain the
can, which is placed on a shell that
swings out when the door at the side
Ia opened. Holes for ventilation can
be made in the stand, keeping the can
as thoroughly sanitary as when ex-
posed. Use the other stand for ashes,
etc.. or have shelves within for the
reception of groceries or milk. II the
