building of the substantial kind.
In the business district of the city
there is building going on in every
block, ranging from two-story store
buildings to 12-story skyscrapers.
Building to the value OF $3,0OO,0OO

Care of fIanoinq Baskets.

All hanging baskets. no matter how
large, should be taken down at least
once each week and soaked in a tub
of water ten or twenty minutes Once
each week they should also be watered
with a pot when in position. Once
each month every basket should be
given some plant food; liquid manure
is excellent for the purpose, though
soluble fertilizers may either be mixed
into the soil in the dry state or dis
solved in the water in which the
plants get their weekly persion Most
baskets suffer from lack of thorough
watering, but if above directions are
followed, satisfactory results will GER
tainly follow
