Although the front porch is

made the most prominent feature
by means of its sine, combination
of materials, and the wrought Iron
chimney decoration representing a
ship at sea. The roof and all ex

Cross ventilation is provided in
every room and should make this
a most comfortable home in sum

ceilings are insulated. The base

the perennials you want for next
year. IHue Ik the hardest problem
and the main dependence is in the
sately delphiniums which, in old
time, gardens, were known as bee
larkspurs, The term larkspur now
is chiefly applied to the annual,
although both are delphiniums, so
named from a Greek word meaning
dolphin, the likeness of the keel of
the flower to that fish being the
reason.
Many gardeners have suffered
disappointment In getting poor or
no germination at all from expen
sive delphinium seed planted in
June or later. The germination is
not as good as when p I a rft ed In
early spring, ns the delphinium
seed germinates best at low tem
perature. Hut the difficulty may
be obviated to good extent by
giving the seed 4 hours' soaking
before planting. I'lant It In the
shade where it wilt have us cool
quartern as passible and the germ
ination will be better than if plant

If arrangements cat! be made to
get fresh larkspur seed later in the

germinates freely, but. after stand
