ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT OF
FLOWERS IN THE HOME
BY e. VAN sENTHUYsEN.

Dark corners of Il room need light
ing up, and light-colored. brilliant flow
ers never look so well as when standing
out against a half-light. Yellow Is an
exquisite bit of color for such q cor
ner.
Let all the flower and foliage for
home decoration be fresh and, how
ever simple their form, they are lovely.
not only as graceful objects, but as
suggestive of something more beauti-
full still.
Avoid fantastic-colored or shaped
vases. The simple beauty Of the flow
ers is lost in such a holder. Clear
glass and the soft greens of Bohemian
make are most useful receptacles. Let
the lines of the vase or bowl be simple
and flowing and. however cheap the
substance Of which the vase Is made,
we shall not err.
Strive to produce the effect Of the
flower when growing, and the error Of
cutting off the lovely grey-green stalks
of dnffodils and examining them into
a fiat dish. or putting handful of vio-
lets into tube specimen glass will be
impossible.
There are many little contrivances
nowadays that help wonderfully in the
attractive arrangement of flowers. The
little japanese frogs with holes in
their backs that sit fiat in the bottom
of a bowl and hold out primly and
gracefully n few precious stalks Of
bloom are to be had for a few cents,

With such an arrangement three or
four daffodils with their golden glow
can bring bit of sunshine into a
dreary room and add,a beauty that an
armful of exquisite roses crammed
into an ugly vase could never give.
Color harmony In flower arrange
ment should be well thought out, not
only in regard to the relative position
Of one flower with another, but also
with the room in which the vase Is to
have place.
COlors that blend out-of-doors, be
cause of the gradations in shade
caused by atmospheric effects and the
relieving sprays Of green, would pro-
duce discord when massec in a room,
but inharmonious effects can be avoid
ed by observing few general rules.
Wall pockets holding pussy willow
in the spring, or bits Of copper beech
or gorgeously turned autumn leaves in
the fall, are graceful objects and give
a harmonious note In the home decora-
ton.

year round. the problem having been

CLIMBING PLANTS AS BEAUTI.
FIERS
BY {. VAN BENrHUYsEN.

The permanent climbing plants and
ANIMALS have a decided place on the
home grounds. They fill n place that
trees, shrubs and flowers cannot. They
not only screen unsightly objects but
serve as shade, protection, and
when trained carefully over Out-build-
ings. stone walls and porches they help
to make picture of the home sur
roundings.
Three of the best clinging vines are
the Boston ivy. English ivy and the
trumpet vine. They are best on brick
or stone walls as they are apt to cause
decay II allowed to climb over shingles
and woodwork.
Japanese honeysllckle is of quick
growth and great beauty. It's delicate
odor and lacelike foliage are desirable
qualities. Any Of the honeysuckle fam
lily are good where dense shade Is not
requisite. The crimson rambler is an
other great fayorite. It is particularly
beautiful when grown over white trel-
lises.
Where one wishes to change the To-
cation Of vines yearly the ANIMALS are
necessary. Among the number Of
beautiful annual climbers the morning
glory takes leading place. The moon
flower and cypress and canary bird
flower are other beautiful vines, easily
grown.
To start the seed Of moonfiower and
morning-glory cut the seed little on
one side and soak over night in warm
water, plant in window box or seed
bed and transplant out of doors when
the ground is warm.
Wild cucumbers and Japanese or ma
tive hop are hardy vines and make a
dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is
also very pretty and profuse bloomer
Never allow vines to grow up over the
house. Place trellis at least two feet
from the house wall to allow a free
circulation Of air. This applies to all
kinds Of climbers. AS soon as they begin
to form runners give them a support.
Sweet peas and nasturtiums form ex-
cellent low. ornamental screens. Plant
ed early in a rich soil they will grow
to the height of FIVE or six feet and
cover a support Of that height. De-
cayed vegetable matter and leaf mold
are fine fertilizers for the sweet pea.
