I was born in Canterbury,

BUYERS ESCHEW
MODERN HOMES
All Right in Theory, They
Agree, Then Purchase
Sentimental Spot.

The "modernistic" house probably
never will become popular, in the
opinion OF William Orr Ludlow, fellow
Of the American Institute of Archi-
tects. Plain cement walls, fiat roofs
and steel window sash, he points out,
do not make homelike residence to
the notion of the average home owner.
people are incurably sentimental when
it comes to choosing their personal be-
longings.
Dealers say that automobiles are
more often chosen because of their at
tractive lines than because of their
more because the wearer likes the
looks Of them than because they are
comfortable; and so 1t comes about
that when the prospective home
owner chooses his home he wants
something that to him is beautiful
and homelike. And very few can see
anything either beautiful or home
ture that reminds him of a small
factory
"The home owner is told that the
modernistic style gives a more COM
Portable and economical house, and
that its design is reasonable and
logical, and that it is the coming
thing But If the convenience and
comfort and economy can be proved
to be ahead of anything We now have,
which may be open to some doubt,
yet there remains something funda-
mentally wrong with the look of these
homes, so that the style has probably
little chance of more than temporary
existence.
"And what is fundamentally wrong
Is the theory on which these houses
are designed, which comes from sup
posing that people act according to
reason, while the fact is that reason
Just brings us the facts and senti-
ments makes the decision. And the
everlasting sentiment about the house
We are going to live in is that it might
be 'homelike.'
Architects are finding quite gen.
orally that, although the occasional
client can be educated to approve of
'modernistic' houses in theory as good
for some one else, yet, for himself, al
most invariably he wants something
Colonial, farm house or Cape Cod.
Nickel-plated hub caps, modelled
radiator caps and painted lines do not
add either to the comfort or economy
of a car, and yet for his personal use
the purchaser wants that kind of
thing and always will; just so he
wants home that is something be-
sides plain surfaces, steel sash and
fiat roofs.
"The modernistic house is not likely
to be an asset to its owner 10 years
from now because it is the exaggera-
to be considered by the next genera
ton as just another one of those ex-
treme styles that periodically come
and go.
yet it is step in the right direc-
ton, getting away from a lot of
senseless ornament and pretense in
design, and it will do its part in
bringing about the modern house.
which, while free from such tradition
as Is unsuitable to our age, will really
express in a simple and economical
way the sentiment for the beautiful
homelike home"

THERE should be a time in the
growing season when the
pruning shears might be laid
- away on the shelf, but, as
matter of fact, there Is no such period.
The climbing roses are best pruned
after they have flowered. In some
extremely vigorous varieties, such as
Dorothy Perkins, one may cut off all
the Towering canes at the ground,
leaving only the soft, tender canes
which this variety sends up in pre-
fusion each Spring. With less Wig
orous growers, such as Pauls Scarle:
climber, one may best take out two or
three of the old canes at the base,
leaving some of the 1-year- as well
as the brand-new canes. The prun-
ing of roses, such as Dorothy Perkins,
DR.. w. Van Fleet and American Pillar,
is no easy task because of the vast
array of thorns. Yet, if one can Sc
cure some old leather gloves and wear
heavy coat to protect the arms, the
job can be accomplished. Needless to
say, it is much easier to accomplish
the task if done each year than if
tangle is permitted to accumulate
over several years. A pair of long

through on the lower side before
covering with soil, roofing Is apt to
be more rapid. A grape cane thus
treated will root during q single
season and may then be cut away
from the mother plant the succeeding
Spring. This process Of reproduc-
ton undoubtedly preceded the use
Of cuttings and very logically had
its foundation in the discovery Of
chance layering Of canes lying on
the surface Of the soil. Certain plants.
such as the trailing wild honeysuckle,
possess the capacity Of roofing from
nodes to such an extent that they
become q veritable nuisance. Layer
ing Is Of real use in increasing a
choice grape or rose, but in these
days Of low-priced nursery stock Is
nowhere nearly as important as 1t
was years ago. It was not rare IN
those days to find q whole vineyard
Of Concord or some other desirable
variety which had been reproduced
from one original vine.
Red Foliage.
A THOUGH green is the universally
= admired color for foliage, gar
dereners take q keen interest in other
colors as may be noted in the cultures
of crotons and coleas in the green
house and in the planting of red
naples, red beeches and other reddish
hued varieties about the home. Among
red-leaved shrubs are the purple hazel,
purple barberry and Prunus pissardi,
the purple-leafed plum. In some
cases the purple forms are costly
because they must be propagated by
budding, since the seedlings do not
come true to color. With the bar
berry q large proportion Of the seed
lings Of purple plants will also be
purple. The purple beech often leads
to bitter disappointment because Of
inherent difficulty in tranSplanting,
especially of older trees. Some years
ago, when the Agricultural Grounds
were in the process Of renovation, an
attempt was made to transplant two
splendid purple beeches but without
success. Even young nursery trees
are difficult. A solid planting OF
purple -leaved trees or shrubs would
not be as beautiful as to plant a
colored specimen among the green.
BY contrast the colored form stands
out in its full beauty. With most red
leafed trees and shrubs, the red hue
is most intense in early Spring and
later there is a fading of the red
with en- accession of greeniSh cast
that lessons the vivid color Of early
Spring.

ground. Were the tiger lily as beauti-
full as the yellow-banded auratuum,
the speciosum or the madonna, It
would be an ideal home garden flower.
As it Is, clump Of the orange tigers
Is not to be despised. Certain garden
writer's tell us that this lily was used
in Oriental countries as food, but
there is no record Of this use in this
country.
The tiger lily has no particular cul-
tural requirements. except that it pre-
fers well-drained soil, as do most all
the true lilies except perhaps super
bum and canadense, which are found
in swampy areas Of northeastern
America. Bone meal, scattered over
the lily bed in late Autumn, will aid
in developing large stalks with sew
eral flowers to the stalk, but any one
who has observed tiger lilies grow
ing In the garden area Of Q deserted
homestead will admit that this species
has a potent capacity for adapting
itself to adverse situations. Autumn,
Just after the stalks have died down,
is the best time for transplanting this
lily.
The japanese Iris.
THIS species of iris, just now COM
pleting its Towering, is truly the
most gorgeous of all the iris, yet for
some reason one does not find the
Japanese varieties as popular as the
German or common garden kinds.
Perhaps it is a matter Of not being as
well known and the tongue twisting
Japanese names would not lead to
extended popularity. However, the
colors are more brilliant in the Japa-
nese group. Here one finds gorgeous
reddish puppies, clear whites and vari-
GUS gradations between. The Japa-
nese iris differs widely from the COM
mon garden kind in its cultural re-
quirements. 1t enjoys moist situa-
ton even to the extent of having its
roots in shallow water. It endures
heavier fertilization, such as an abun-
dance of well-rotted manure in the
late Autumn. Acid soils seem to be
favored as compared with neutral
ooAA "a C4SiCAASCo AOL tllC DCtICI AIlOWn
garden irises Of early Spring. OF late
years, nursery men are making q
greater effort to push the sales of
Japanese iris and some have even gone
so far as to give the varieties English
names in the hope of increasing their
popularity. From the enthusiastic
praise of those home gardeners who
have grown the Japanese iris. there
would seem no need of extensive prop
aganda once these beautiful flowers
are included in the garden.

The flier's interest in science goes
