For the grower who wishes merely

wiser to select from the resistant va
rieties. Black spot is very difficult to
control even with thorough spraying
or busting. Bordeaux mixture is prob
ably as reliable a treatment as has yet
been devised. The habit of growth in
bush roses is against successful treat
ment. That is, the pushing forth of
new growth at repeated intervals
throughout the Summer means that
repeated spraying is essential to give
control.
Tomato plants now are growing
very rapidly and staked plants will
need frequent attention in the mat

Garden beans of all kinds are grow

maturing about the same time. This
means that more sowings are now in

ent one Of the most popular types, but
the finer one chat is, from the point
of view Of architectural design, the
most typically French and the most
beautiful Of all is the style which we
call Louis XIV.
The reason why we do not use this
style much is that it is least suited
to our modern homes. For this period
was one Of grandeur and wealth. The
court and the aristocracy of France
at that time lived on a most lavish
and eXtravagant scale. So their
lives and homes We're necessarily I'M
real and out of touch with basic needs.
But they developed architecture and
furniture of the most exquisite pro-
portions and set the standard for the
rest of the world.
However, because Of it's very ele-
gance and refinement, 1t is unsuited to
the majority of our homes, which, in
this day of rush and lack of servants,
receive a great deal of hard wear.
SO the beautiful periods of Louis XIV

finest homes and apartments.
