A. convenient width Is five feet as this can bo reached across for weeding and cultivation without groat difficulty. In. the maze of annuals, all of which look so tempting in the seed catalogues, it is often difficult to decide upon a selection. It Is best to confine the choice to a few colonics qf a sufficient size to bring out tbo color and character of the plant rather than tb try to plant too many, yd rlotlos in it limited space. Top small colonies give a patchwork ef fect which, while" brilliant and at tractive, does not have the same fascination as the larger masses of color.

There thus exist no purpose In bavlng a basement, ' , ' - The style of architecture Is an adaptation of the . Spanish. - The plan ls that of the typical American bungalow. The exterior la characterized by care fully proportioned walls, openings and roof. It Is gracefully ornamented With a plaster arch and with wooil beams at the front porch, with circular win-' dows In the gable ends, and with a hooded shelter over tho door to the laumjary at the rear. The plaster arch at the front has teem ornamented with some raised moldings of plaster entirely typical of the style of architecture. Tile borders Have bcen tlsed within the porch, around the doors and windows, and in the porch floor itself; The use ot metal sash In the windows adder not a little to an already Interesting exterior. Another graceful touch Is In the bay window off the dining room, where with a battery of four under sash and a low sweep of the main coof, an unusually Intlmata effect has been obtained. - The plan provides for five main rooms a trrtnlr room, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms with, a bath, and m addition an open front porch and a Unndry at the rrar. . ' ' . . -.. . ' i . The living room opens off the porch through French doors. There its a copper hooded fireplace m one corner and a coat closet near the front en trance. The dining and living rooms are separated by a wide plastered opening, which may M arched. The construction is of wood frame oh masonry foundations. The exterior finish is of stucco. W suggest that the stucco be Worked out with sweep ing trowel marks, but sot overdone. The roof la of. toe, or, at less expense, ot wood or composi tion shingles; A base course of brick: may be provided, though the drawings call for smooth finish concrete up to the first floor line. - The suggested color scheme is a pink or buff -colored stucco- with, a dark brick base course, sash painted red or bine green, and a root of mingled shades of red.

One look at the rack and the absence of a tool will .be noted and the gardener can start retrieving.

On this shelf place the cans and bottles of insecticides and fungicides, and; the garden para, phornalia is. at hand and concen trated, i A small-angled trowel, a small, roundibladed trowel, and the stand ard heavy trowel are all handy tools to have readv for the first digging.

The smaller, ciawed cultivators are ex cellent lor working at closer quar ters among smaller plants.

Industry Reached Its Peak During Past Year "WAfel-ItNGTON Construction operations portlvcly showed a de cline during February, somewhat confusing prophots who have made definite predictions concerning the trend which building' activities will take (lurng tho coming year. Lending statisticians have found every reason to believo that tbo construction Industry renched Its peak in 1!)26. They have claimed the backing of sound economic facts for their conclusions. Yet onlry Into the active season of the present year is being mnde undor circumstances similar' to ' those which InauKiiiated tlio smashing of records last your. 1 The volume of construction op erations in February, was exactly. equal to that of the corresponding month last yea'r, statistics compil ed by the Associated General Con tractors of America Indicate, : But tho volume of contrncts awarded during January exceeded by flfty soven per cent tho vnlumo record ed for January, 11)25, whllo-the samo. comparison applied to ' the voluino of building pormits shows a flvo per oont Increase. , It is this mass of prospective work that is -cnuslng oxports, who thought the top levol was reached last year, to knit tholr brows In perplexity, 'Interest' Is attached to the fnct that the vnliimo of operation rtwln. died' to groator degree during the past four months than In any simi lar. - period wlthlg jthe Jost- five vears. This volume was registered last Npvember at an Index number ot 202, .based on 1913. At latest reports It rests on the 118 level. While all this has been going on, costs of construction are shown to have moved upward one point during Fobruary. though the mark for that month Is four points lower thnn that established In February, 1925, This Increase In costs was due, It Is stated, to higher prices being asked in sovernl localities for lumber, cement, crushed stone and common brick.
