where a street corner location, or a |
broad expanse Of ground, effectively |
reveals to every passer-by scene on |
which memory will love to linger.
The home of Mrs. George H. Knoll |
lenberg, at Fourth and South B streets, |
has q large and well kept lawn from
two sides of which are visible lot |
of flowers and shrubbery which de-
light the eye. There are a lot of

oriental peoples on the Knollenberg
grounds just now which all who pass
that way may see and enjoy. There
are many pretty lawns and backyard
flower gardens along South Fourth

the community.
Another old and well known cor.
ner home site and famous for its
floral attractions during all the bloom
ing season, is that Of the Keilhorn
residence at 18th street and South A.
Mrs. Keilhorn, who recently passed
from our view, was a devoted lover OF
flowers and found much relaxation and
happiness In their culture. These
were her friends and they spoke to
her in her own tongue and were under
stood. Her flowers were not hidden
and few could pass them without the
bestowal of a glance Of admiration.
Her daughter, Mrs. Harry Morrow.
will see that her mothers flowers are
properly cared for. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morrow. who have been living in New
York for some years, are here to spend
the summer in the Keilhorn home.
A Few Show Places.
The Westcott Place, lying between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth and Main
and South A streets, presents broad.
centrally located expanse Of beauti-
full lawn, refreshing shade and plots
of flowers and foliage that no visitor
to Richmond who passes that way, ev-
er overlooked. A few blocks to the
east and south lies Reeveston, which
like Westcott Place has many beau
tiful homes and here, too, is found
wealth of flowers and foliage to de-
light the beholder. South A street is
noted for its lawns and flowers and
for the view presented at South 18th
street of the Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Dud-
ley Foulke residence grounds, an ele-
waited expanse of velvety lawn, flowers,
ornamental shrubbery and majestic
trees. Linden Hill, lying east along
South Eighteenth street, and the res
idence lots across the way, are also
garden spots Of foliage and the inter-
blended colorings of a thousand flow
ers. In this section of the city are
some of the show places of which
Richmond is, and may be justly proud
Nor are all the attractive homes and
beautified spaces located in this sec
ton of the town. These are found on
the numerous residence streets in all
parts of the city. Many of these
lawns and back yard flower gardens

but because of the thoughtful care
which has been given them. or such
homes and homemakers we can never
have too many; may their tribe in
crease.
There are many very attractive
places in the southeast part of the
city. homes both old and new, which
| are the pride of their possessors The
landscape artist and the flower gar
dener have in some instances, done
much for some Of these places but in
the main the credit for their beautify-
+, ing is due to those who call them
home" The home of Major and Mrs.
| Paul Comstock on South Seventeenth
lstreet, the Edgar Hiatt home in Rec
weston, long known as the late Mark
/ Reeves homestead, the Julian Gates

also the home of her sister, Mrs. Ada

Flowers From Another Viewpoint
The man who said: There is no
sentiment in business, was far from
right. There is a whole lot of SEN
timent in business: the outgrowth of
friendship and confidence. But even
so, we did not intend to speak of
flowers in connection with business,
in any form, but are too greatly tempt
ed to resist. Imagine bed of peonies,
occupying a plot six by twenty feet,
and containing only fifty plants which
are worth $25 per plant, or total of
$3.50. That beautiful and valuable
little plot is the property of Miss Clara
Anderson, of Van Vert, Ohio; town
noted for Peonies, Iris and Gladiolas,
but more especially Peonies The
first annual Peony show will be held in
Van Vert this month and so numer-
GUS and enthusiastic are the Peony
growers of the town that they hope to
