In the con- ,gested centers of 'cities and towns where numbers of these buildings are grouped together, in closely built blocks, they present not only the possibilîty, of. large individual fires, but serious fires -in groups of builid- ings as, well.' Automatic sprinklers. bom-ever, offe'r a means of largely off- setting the defects of construction and arrangement ini these buildings and can in the case of nearly every non- fire-resistive mnercantile or industrial building mniniize tbe' danger of fire. loss and consequent interruption of business. greens -are 'b'eing, appreciated more 'each vear as material for porch and indow boxes, and, surel y a window box of these interesting plants would be something new and different. . When selecting plants for a windtow box, take into consideration the type of house for which the, box is in- tended. Tail, slënder Arborvitaes will. look well with a bouse that runs to vertical lines. Pines and' Hemlocks' suggest the horizontal. Spruce tiees are pyramidal ini shape and carry the, eye upward. There is' a variation in colori, too, that should be kept in mind. Pines are a much lighter green -than the Firs and Hemlocks.' Arborvitaes are dulI, green, %vith a tendency to turn somewhat rusty before spring arrives. TIhose who liye in the Northerni states will most likely turn to Spruces, for they rernain a good green color and do not turn brown. These thr.ee a 1re recommended-Norway, Spruce, White Spruce and Black fi Spruce. The number of trees nieeded for a window box wviIl depenil somewhant upon the effect you wish to gain. For a massèd :effect plant Arborvitae, ,but if .you wvish the individual ýplants. to.sta nd out,.WXhV!ite Spruce and Black Hill Spruce are excellent. Norway Spruce,, the favorite Christmas tree. is particularly, pleasing, in a porch I)Qx or. vase. For a box five feet. lonfg an attrac- tive grouping consists of Pyramidal Arborvitae at each end, filling bé- tween w'th Mugho Pline. A Lacy green curtain of somne of the hardiei. strains of English Ivy will finish the 'front of, the box b'eautifu-Ily. How- ever, hether N'ou 'are able to use themn depends entirely upon, the severitv of ý inter.iii 'your locality. One of the: bappiest Uses to. which boxed or pottedever'gr7ee"ns can .be put is, to, carry out the idea- of a "living Christmas- tree.", Norway Spruce is Mosi-, often used for this ptrpose and is attractive a.s a single specimen in tub or box. Grow your own Cbristmas treec-then after the holiday season is over i .t cani decorate the porcb or entrance until spring, whien it.may be rnoved to the garden. Field Museum k' Offer
