now on the homestretch of the great

the last year as 1t has never been

Four Way Lodge, the Florida home

OF the new bungalow homes along the
balmy Florida seaboard. The country,
though II has been part Of Uncle Sans
domain for well nigh a century. retains
still the atmosphere OF its former own

think OF the proud Dons and the no.

Main and brought their plumber to the
land OF flowers when in Florida. So
the James villa Is built with the atmos-
phere Of Spain surrounding 1t. 1t IL
what Is known as the Spanish American
type.
1t is one story of gray white walls
surrounded by pergola, making a
perimeter 100 feet wide and 81 feet
long. The house faces the Atlantic
and because Of it's position with re-
spect to the compass il called the -four

respond with the bedrooms In the James
home in New York. They are accessible
only from the cloistered passageway
around the inner court. around three
sides OF which the building is built.
This passageway is built with lean-to

posed timbers. gray concrete columns
and concrete floor. 1t Is patterned af-
ter the time worn clustered PASSAGE

the pavilions are deep Spanish tiles the
multicoloring of flowers along the roof

in a picture that is hard TO surpass.
The house has no cellar. The top soil
was scraped off and the house built on
the rock found just beneath.
The house Is 70 feet wide and so feet
long Standing out from it distance
of II feet is pergola which runs
around the four sides Of the building.
II comprises Il series of octagonal pill
lars of the same material as the house
built about II feet apart. Reaching
from them TO the house are rough hewn
timbers taken from nearby woods. To
give the pergola a rakish touch the tim
bers are Of uneven lengths and are held
in place by wide iron straps.
The house created such an impression
on Secretary of State William J. Bryan

plants constantly soaked with water
or allowing them to remain dry for a
day or two at a time win cause the
extra early varieties to form flower
buds and further plant growth will be
stopped.
Hardening the Plants.
Seed planted in February will pro-
duce plants large enough to set out In
the field in April while severe weather
may still be expected. The green
house grown plants will be soft end
tender. To harden them place the
boxes in a cold frame from which the
glass can be entirely removed on pleas
ant days. The frame will require pro-
lection from frost until the plants have
been toughened by exposure. Under
favorable conditions this should not
take more than ten days. Keep the
plants a little on the dry side." for q
few days will give them a hrmer tex
ture and full exposure to the wind. II
weather conditions permit. will soon
complete the hardening. Plants ham
died in this manner have survived a
succession OF hard frosts, SO hard that
the ground actually froze at night. The
plants came through all right and
made profitable crop. Two years
ago the most profitable asters In
this market were from plants that were
covered with six inches Of snow soon
after they were planted out. but do not
forget that when first taken from the
warm greenhouse the aster plants are az
tender as the most sensitive tropical
plant.
In planting ont do not set the plants
in mud, for the reason previously stated
that plants root better in soil that is
moist than they do in soil that is wet.

FOR several years and made fertile by
proper fcrtiiiznH each year or quite
heavily fertilized the previous year will
produce good results. Ploughing under
three or four inches OF manure In the fall
