A little more attention is being
paid to the lawns this year; a little
more of the “Home Beautiful” idea
prevails; a little more pride being
displayed in the homes and parking
Btripa. Bert DePue has a beautiful
lawn under way at their home and
flowers galore. He puts considerable
work on it and is liberally^epaid by
the lovely flowers as a result.
He
has an electric light plant or so
that hasn’t lit yet, however.
Mr.
Cleveland is another man that is
seen out working in the yard every
day and Mr. Cleveland has one of
the prettiest places in the valley. lie
has a large variety of flowers,
bushes, vines and roses and the
Cleveland home is a show place this
time of year.
Mrs. Sitts makes a specialty of
flowers and her yard is full of them
as is the home of Mr. and Mrs. War-
del. Mrs. Gooding is the gardener
at their home and has indeed a beau
tiful place with nearly every known
variety of this country.
There are
several homes that are attracting
attention for their beautiful lawns
and we wish there were more.
