By JOHiCoTb. "WALLACE
With imagiaaiTve planning, lux
ury traits cane built into an
economy-size florae. This ranch,, al
though smalHrn erea and designed
lor budget builders, has many de
tails found usually in higher priced
residences. :
Designated X-ll in the House of
The Week series, it has six rooms
(including three bedrooms) in an
area of 1,069 square feet. The
plan has further appeal to the
budget-conscious builder because
of an optional basement.
Its interior features include a
dropped living room with cathedral
ceiling, a balconied dining room,
a raised dining terrace and a cir
cular rear patio. By finishing the
basement, you can add an adult

recreation room with a television
and hi-fi center and a children's
play room.
.Mf Although building and material
costs vary greatly throughout the
country. Architect Herman H.
York, who developed design X-ll,
estimates the basement area can
be finished for perhaps an addi
tional $1,500.
Finishing Touches Later
The architect suggests that the
separating walls, window arrange
. merits, doors,' plumbing and other
structural details be installed at
the time of construction.
Wall finishes, floor coverings,
folding doors.' vbar and cabinets
and other finishing touches can be
added later at the convenience of
the owner.
On the main level, the dropped
living room is one step below the
rest of the house. The cathedral
ceiling and the ceiling-high window
wall, the latter et in a recessed
bay,, create an illusion of greater
space.
The adjoining dining room is
-one step above the living room
and sits on a shallow balcony, sep
arated from the living room by a
wrought iron: railing. The bedroom
wing can be. reached from the liv
ing room or the dining room

Kitchen at Rear

light and ventilation. It is large

Questions & Answers
QUESTldW To settle an argu
ment, would like to know if it is
better to mow your lawn when
the grass is dry or wet. I think
it should be dry. Ardent Reader.
Answer We're inclined to agree
with you, although nowhere have
we been able to find anything
which substantiates our belief oth
er than that any work on the lawn
when it is wet tends to pack the
soil and packed soil is not condu
cive to good growth.
Question We got Into an argu
ment about when irises should be
replanted. I say they should be
replanted in July and my husband
says October. Which is correct?-
P.S. The argument is friendly and
we've decided to let you settle it.
M.JI. ,. , ...
Answer We are glad you added
the P.S. Iris experts such as Bob
Schreiner and Rholin Cooley say
to provide- a maximum amount of U.me t(? div.ide "plant is
work space anU cabinet storage
area,
Because the bedroom wing can
be reached from two serviceways,
the house has ar excellent circu
lation pattern which minimizes un
necessary walk(ng. ,
Terrace Is Sheltered
Sliding glass, doors separate the
living room and the raised dining
terrace, and one' wail of the dining
room is glass,, which tends to
merge Indoor and outdoor dining
areas.
The outdoor dining terrace Is
sheltered on two sides by the liv
ing and dining rooms and is par
tially sheltered on the other sides
by the kitchen and the carport.
There is direct access U the
outdoor dining terrace and the pat
io from both the front living room
and the rear kitchen.
In the basement, the two recrea
tion rooms may be closed off by
folding doors or they may be
thrown open into one large room
for special occasions. A lavatory,
' " between the two recreation rooms,
may be entered. from either room.
A work shop, walk-in storage
closet, open storage area and boil
er room complete the basement
plan. A separate exit from the
children's play room permits
youngsters to come and go at will
without entering other parts of the
!" house. ' . j . v' e

Question To settle an 'argument
tell me how high lawn grass
should be cut? I say it should be
cut quite short. If it is long and
then cut short, the grass down
close to the ground bleaches. L.D.
Answer (No we did not make
this up. It just seems our readers
have become- argumentive. There's
another couple coming.) An even
height should be maintained. If it
is cut low once, high once, low
asain. bleaching will result. How.
ever, height of cut should rise with
the temperature. Best cool season
heights are: Delux fancy lawn
erass. 1 inch: good lawns, 1 to 2
inches: utility lawns 1H to 2 inch
es. Raise these mowing heights
Vi inch when the heat of summer
(like this past week) sets in
Meanwhile frequent mowing is
best on both old and new lawns
so as not to remove too much of
the plant at one clipping.
Question Came across a story
the other day (in a book) which
called "Utah, the Mother of Ir
rigation"). Can you tell me why?
Carious.
Answer The Mormons, who
came to Utah in the . eighteen
fortles, damned a creek that
flowed across what is now part
of the present Salt Lake City and
began irrigating crops in the fer
tile but very dry valley of the
Great Salt Lake. They have been
credited with introducing the first
irrigation practiced by Anglo-Saxons
in the United States.
Question We are planning to go
to Lake Louise in September but
friends tell us it is closed after
Sept. 1. Can you give us any in
formation on this? We mean the
Lake Louise at Banff. Please give
all information you can. E.N.M.
Answer We re a little puzzled.

Tiny Flowers
Profilic, Big
Flowers Few
It's a true thing that in flowers
the number of blooms produced by
a single plant is closely related to
the size of the blooms, themselves.
The most gigantic flowers are pro
duced sparingly, but the tiny ones
come in great numbers. So if you
admire great masses of bloom,
then you should select strains that
produce relatively small flowers.
Now-here are some lists of flow
ers grown from seed that are ar
ranged according to the size of the
flower. All these varieties are verV
free bloomers. The lists are ar
ranged in sub-headings, too, which
indicate which kinds bloom over a
long period and which ones give
a relatively brief but tremendous
display of many flowers
Small Flowers
Flowers with blooms under 1 inch
across, long blooming period: Zin
nia linearis, orange flowers, dwarf
plants; marigold gnome, golden
yellow blooms, 10 tall; scarlet
sage (salvia), different heights av
ailable; sweet alyssum, best var
ieties royal carpet and carpet of
snow very dwarf; globe amaranth
(gomphrena) buddy, dwarf plants
with purple, clover-like blooms; ag-
eratum (floss flower), fluffy blue
flower. Brief blooming period: Can
dytuft, many colors . available;
baby's breath (gypsophila), tiny
white blooms; Virginian stock (mal
comia), very dwarf; Chinese forget-me-not
(cynoglossum), sky
blue;, anchusa blue bird, indigo
blue, 2 ft. tall.
Larger Blooms
Flowers with blooms 1 to XVt

iod: Zinnia red riding hood (gla
cillima) miniature, double scarlet
flowers, plants IVi to 2'; zinnia

length of blooming period depends
on the weather. If it's cool the
vines keep right on bearing; hot
weather cuts the crop short. You
can extend the blooming period of
sweet peas by keeping the flowers
picked to prevent seed from setting
Most of the other fldwers listed
above, however, keep right on
blooming without having to pick the
old flowers from the plants.
Lake Louise isn't the name of a
hotel at Banff. It is a resort 40
miles to the north of the Banff
resort although in the national
park' At" Lake Louise there is a
hotel called Chateau Lake Louise.
There is also a Lake Louise
Lodge, and a number of other
lodging places, including some mo
tor courts, and folk with private
homes open to visitors during the
tourist -season. The Chateau closes
the second week in September and
the Lodge the last of September?
The Chateau is the most costly.
Banff has any number of places
to stay, most elaborate of which
is Banff Springs Hotel.

iously weaken it so that it is at
tacked by other insects.
Scale insects are easy to control.
Scale on small shrubs or trees
may be controlled by dormant oil
sprays. On the larger trees a hy
draulic sprayer is used in order to
reach all parts of the tree, and,
since various scale insects require
different spray formulations, an
arborist or tree expert should be
consulted.

Don't Hack Trees, Have Them Primed
It's an Idea
Every child's dream a lapel
button admitting him to movie
theaters free will be given to
young visitors to Ocean City, N. J.,
during the week of June 23-30. The
fourth annual Children's Festival
Week allows parents to take along
a child free for every adult, pav
ing half-price for the child's meals
and nothing for his room. In addi
tion to free movies in board-walk
theaters every night but Saturday,
the buttons will entitle children to
other free and half-price attrac
tions ranging from pool swimming
to speedboat rides. This brings out
a lot of folk in what otherwise
might be a dull season, and it
pays off, say sponsors.
So the leectric light company
wants to prune your trees to pro
vide ample clearance for wires?
Trees can be pruned to preserve
their beauty and, at the same time,
allow ample clearance for utility
wires, according to the National
Arborist Association. The only
thing the home owner has to con
sider is that the pruning job is
done by an arborist or tree expert.
Hacking away at trees by the in
experienced not only can destroy
the shapeliness of a tree but some
times can kill it outright, it is said.
According to the arborists, how
ever, most utilities . use extraord
inary care in preserving trees. The
best bet, if the homeowner is plant
ing new trees is to set them out
where they will not interfere with
electric and gas service lines when
fully grown. In cases where trees
must be planted under electric
wires, low-growing varieties should
be selected, reserving the larger
growing trees for other parts of
the property.
Many utilities use local arborists
or tree experts in pruning trees
under, or close to utility service
lines. Generally, their men are
highly trained, but if in doubt about
the method of pruning prized trees I care In pruning trees near their
