Garden Hints
Slips from your vines or
bushy-type plants will root
easily. Roots form In soil, but
vermicullte or sand Is better.
Cut 8 inches from your old
nlant. sliEhtlv below a leaf.
Cut off lower leaves. Cover 2
inches of stem.
If you want to root a num

dwarf varieties. Thry are
heavy fruit bciircrs and often
yield fruit earlier.
More shade is the advan
tage of standard size trees.
. . . and when there is enough
space, are a fine choice.
In planting trees that have
balled and burlap-covered
roots. . , make the hole, set
the tree into it . . . untie the
burlap, leaving the roots ball

burlap lined hole.
Dont" much bulbs before
the frost. The object of mulch
ing is to keep lite frost in the
ground.
In the fall remember to
gather fallen leaves from the
lawn and add them to your
compost pile. Or if you prefer
narle them into old annual
beds for a rich humus sup

both enhance the beauty and
Increase the value of your
property. And you can build
them yourself, easily and eco
nomically.
Dependability, compactness
and economy are among the
advantages of gas-fired floor
furnaces. Depending on the
size of the home and the cli
mate, a single furnace may
meet all heating needs, or sev
eral may he employed.
The ceiling Is going up In
the living rooml Many new
homes have high ceiling liv
ing rooms for added spacious
ness. They arc especially
shown in split level houses
that use this idea to contrast
a low 'intimate look' to the
bedroom.
