A rr 10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 HINTS FOR THE GARDEN| Edited by David H. Stevenson, Director National Home Gardeners' Association Editor's Note: This column is to be conducted continuously during the gar- dening season as an aid to amateur gardeners. The "hints" and careful in- structions to be found in these articles are based upon expert investigation of the particular needs of the home gard- ener. If you have a garden. you will want to be a constant reader of the "Hints for the Garden' column. Refer it to your neighbor gardener. SPRING IS HERE A new garden season has begun. With the bursting of the buds, the singing of the first robins, and the springing up of the tender green shoots of the grass and flowers, our thoughts turn to gardening. To the thousands that know the joy that comes from the early preparation and planting in the spring, it is not neces- sary to point out that now is the time to figure out all the plantings that are to be made this season in order to enjoy to the fullest extent a lux- uriant front lawn, a continuous bloom of flowers, and abundant crops from the vegetable garden. Don't let lack of experience keep you from having a garden, or from putting in a few shrubs, some curr- ants, gooseberries and raspberries, and possibly a fruit tree. Some flow- ers, and a climbing vine for your porch would do much toward making your home distinctive and beautiful. The joy that you will get in doing this cannot be measured in dollars and cents. The cost of making this a reality is very small. If you don't know the kinds of shrubs and flow- ers that will do best for you, write to, us and we will advise you. Begin now to plan for good crops of delici- ous fresh green vegetables and fruits from your own garden. Proper equipment and information makes garden work a pleasure and results in success. How much ground have you that you can put to garden? Does it need any fertilizer? What kind does it need? What kinds of vegetables are you fond of, and how much do you need for you family? These are a few of the questions that every successful home gardener must answer. To answer them properly it is necessary to form a definite plan. The importance of getting up a plan cannot be overemphasized. Every- one has experienced the disappoint- ment of having too much corn one month and not any the next, or of having too much spinach and not enough green beans. You can cor- rect this, making your garden yield just about the amounts you need, by making a plan and keeping record. This will help you the next season to increase here and decrease there ac- cording to your own experience. When the ground is ready for work there is not a minute to lose in plant- ing everything just where it belongs. A careful plan drawn to scale will help you in saving money, time, labor and space. It will provide for a steady supply of green vegetables throughout the season. As you are limited for space, you can make the most of what you have by planting two or more different kinds of seeds together in the same row, mixing the seed 'before planting. The radishes will be ready to eat in a month after planting and will be out of the way long before the parsnips need th space. You can get two crops from your ground by planting leaf lettuce early and immediately after it is Harry Mitchell 2=PANTS $30 Suits Made io Order Everything First Class HARRY MITCHELL 16 EAST JACKSON BLVD., CHICAGO harvested, spade up the row and set out tomato plants. Good plants are now being grown in many sunny kitchen windows. If you have the space for it, the hotbed is the best place to grow your plants for setting out. The construction of the hotbed for the home garden will be taken up in the next article. Quiet Distinction Is Atmosphere of Lake Shore Terrace In a quiet nook, away from the bustle and scurry of metropolitan life, "far from the madding crowd," as it were, sat two distinguished gentlemen en- joying, undisturbed, a repast suited to the most rebned and discriminat- ing taste. The distinguished gentle- men were the then President-elect Warren Gamaliel Harding, and his remarkably able campaign manager of a few months previous, who is now 'Postmaster General Will H. Hays. The quiet nook was found in Wilmette within the distinctively ap- pointed Lake Shore Terrace, on Sher- idan road, at Chestnut street, Fred Miller, proprietor. While -it most centainly is unusual to have a President-elect as guest, it is by no means extraordinary for per- sons of distinction to stop off for luncheon or dinner in this peaceful, dignified atmosphere of the north shore's most exclusive neighborhood. That is a daily occurrence. And every effort is expended to meet the most discriminating taste. With a cuisine second to none in or about Chicago, there is always need for innovations in the surroundings to suit the convenience of the patrons. There is an effort to maintain a semi- homelike atmosphere and, with it, provide the facilities and conveni- ences expected in the best downtown restaurants. Tne latest improvement is the ad- dition of a large dining veranda as a northeast wing to the building. Also, the entrance has been remodeled after the most modern fashion and attractive gateways placed at the au- tomobile approaches. An outdoor alt- ticed 'tea. garden is in course of con- struction and new landscape effects are being introduced." Upward of $30,000 in improvements are contem- plated. Residents of the north shore are invited to inspect the Lake Shore Terrace. There are special facilities for social and club luncheons :- and dinners. ~The Terrace is to remain open the year round. SCHROEDER CASE DISMISSED Case, Perry vs. Schroeder is at last off the docket in Justice McKenna's Kenilworth court. Justice McKenna Tuesday dismissed the case for lack of sufficient grounds for complaint. F. H. Perry, complainant, who is said to be 80 years of age, has indicated that he will appeal the case. Paul Schroeder, defendant, recently insti- tuted civil action against Perry to ob- tain commission which he alleges is due him in a real estate transaction.

Machinery is in- The famous American writer, whose work is considered the best authority on the subject of Oriental rugs, describes in his book the native washing process and approv- ingly advocates the soap and the water and the natural heat of the sun as the only factors to be used in cleansing the Eastern rugs. "The washing of rugs is of great importance in the eyes of the Orientals. After washing, the rug is exposed to the sun to dry. A particular degree of warmth, a precise amount of sun and wind are relied upon to work a marked superiority. J. K. MUMFORD. The wool of a rug is really a sentient thing. However dead it may seem, it has a life and vitality all its own. It can be quickened, rejuvenated and made alive by proper washing. The water in which the rug is washed has so definite an influence on the beauty and life of the rug that certain streams of the Orient have for generations held a reputation reaching over a wide territory. The water must be soft, for hard water makes necessary the use of alkali, which has a tendency to injure the fabric of the rug. Let us clean some of your rugs and you will wonder at their real glory and color. Our washing process not only removes the dirt, dust and spots, but restores the natural freshness of color, and gives you a rug that is THOROUGHLY CLEAN, CLEAR THROUGH. Careful attention is given each rug as though it were the ONLY rug we had to clean. No machinery is used that will wear and tear the rug; no chemicals are used, but the purest soap obtainable; and proficient workmen are employed to do the work. The rug is re- turned to you thoroughly cleaned, perfectly sterilized, moth and germ proof. OOOO J PHONE WILMETTE 56 A OOOO CLEAN OUT ATTIC WITH A "FOR SALE" AD Easter Flowers by flowers.
