Many Other Beauties
In the sunny border we might
also consider the beauty bush
(Kolkwitzia amabilis) although
it is rather large for the smaller
border. Nevertheless, in the
spring when covered with a mass
of bloom it commands quite a bit
Of attention. BY an annual
pruning it can be kept to mod
crate size.

some Of the many types Of hol-
lies now being added to the
local gardens both for foliage
and fruits.
The Chinese holly has much
to offer, but there are others
including some Of the numerous
varieties Of English holly. Most
of them have much more at
tractive foliage than the native
American holly. although there
are some varieties of the Ameri-
can that do have more glossy
foliage than others.
Some Thoughts on Size
There are a number Of other
shrubs for the shady as well
as for the sunny garden that
might be mentioned. However,
the thought under consideration
is that we should start out with
whatever our interests and
pocketbook will permit. AS con-
ditions warrant we might well
replace those that are the least
desirable with better ones.
This brings two other factors
to mind.
One is that we can buy the
smaller sizes and get the more
kinds and varieties in
the beginning.
The other consideration we
should bear in mind is that it
is difficult to have attractive
shrubs in the smaller yard if
they must compete with maple
and elm tree roots.
Unfortunately too often the
beginning gardener, in his haste
to obtain shade, selects suoh
trees because Of their low cost
and rather rapid growth.
This is an understandable
move, but it does present a
problem for the future when
here is a desire to improve the
shrub paintings.

than it stood in the nursery. Now
firm the soil well around and
above the roots. leaving a de-
preston of an inch or two to
permit thorough watering after
planting. Soak the shrub thor
oughly, and when the water has
seeped away, fill in the depres-
sion with dry soil until the
normal soil level has been
reached. After severe freezing
weather has arrived. a mulch of
straw, peat moss or similar ma
terial should be added, at least
as far as the spread of the roots,
to minimize heaving caused by
freezing and thawing.

Most paintings should &c

With today's trend toward
simplification in food prepara-
ton, two home economists
have developed a recipe for
making sponge cakes with I'M
separated eggs.
DR.. Alice M. Briant, profess
sor of food and nutrition at
Cornell University. and home
maker, Mrs. Anna R. Williams,
have proven the whole-egg
method will produce a cake
equal in volume and tender
ness to the standard separa-
ton egg method.
Although the total time
taken to prepare cakes by the
two methods was about the
same, the whole-egg method
cuts out the step of Separat-
ing yolks from whites, leaves
one less bowl to wash, and
produces a cake with a deeper
yellow color.
The recipe which follows
appeared in a recent issue of
the Journal of Home Eco
Monies.
Whole Egg Sponge Cake

juice. l packed teaspoon grated
lemon rind, l cup sugar, l cup
pastry or cake flour. "a tea
spoon salt. Preheat oven 1926

into large bowl of an electric

Is minutes: While eggs are
being beaten, sift together
flour and salt. Continue beat
ing eggs at highest speed Caf-
ter peaks are formed and pour
sugar in a fine stream over
them. taking 2l2 to 3 minutes
to add all the sugar. Change

2l2 to 8 minutes to add all
