To the amateur gardener the deco

open up a vista Of fascinating COM

taste Of the householder. filled with
brightly blossoming plants, and sup

A properly designed window box.
suitably planted with trailing vines
and a harmonious selection of colors,
can often be made to atone for o
vast amount Of architectural incon-
Eruity in the house itself. Even in
the most skilfully designed work the
need for some s%oftening effects about
the windows can be felt. Aside from
the charming exterior effect of such
an arrangement, the bright colors and
the scent Of the flowers add greatly
to the interior atmosphere of the
house, while the view from a window
is greatly enhanced by being framed
in by the foliage Of growing plants.

should be lined with copper or zinc

The soil is put directly into the

almost any plant or small shrub to

OF this same family are the noun
tain laurel and azalea, which may be
used as successfully. Azaleas are
found in a wild state frequently on
Long Island. They thrive around
pools and springs. and where these
conditions are found it is quite a de-
lightful innovation to establish an
azalea walk or drive. On the larger
estates these Towering shrubs are VAL
liable landscape material, as they will
roy to extreme heights OF six or
eight feet and serve as an excellent
screen where one is desired. They
also make effective laundry yard en-
closures. To give life in winter 1t

II Is often desirable further to soften
the architectural lines If the suburban
residence and this may be done by
the discreet use of creeping vines.
Among the vast number of these none

vine called Enonymus radicaus. 1t

give delightful spots of color, while

it offers an inexhaustible supply Of

however, is that OF using large, snowy

in small places and are completely out
