Itp ioConeti Neighbor'* Chicken Coop Would you disguise your garbage can with tropical vardure? It Is simple. It will cost 5 cents. Likewise you cun conceal the gar bage of your next-door neighbor If be has neglected architectural beauty. Ton can screen u neighboring chicken coop er an ugly buck fence with one luxuriant kind of plant, the castor bean. For 5 cants a packet of seeda con taining around ten beans can be pur chased. These plants should net be placed doeer together than 5 feet. They grow from • to 10 feet tall un der good cultivation end soil conditions, make leaves from 2 to 4 feet la di ameter anj) produce ornamental fruit, all in the course of a tingle season. They are annual plants, grow easily from seed and can be transplanted without trouble. The beat variety for quick effect la the Zanzibar ^castor bean. It is cat alogued usually under its botanical name, Rlcfnua Zanaabarlensla. la a Berwyn beck yard last year two ef these plants were planted to conceal a chicken bouse. The seeds were planted the lest of April. Two plants wwe set out 5 feet apart By July they had readied a height of 5 feet and a spread ef 12, the huge leaves touching and overlapping. By midsummer the chicken house was hid from view in the rear ef the yard. It will speedily conceal It. Other un- rtghtly objects are quickly hidden. Thu castor beau la the largest an nual plant we have. In the flower gar den. It Is always handsome and clean in foliage. Its needs are rich soli and a liberal supply of water which la always available In any dty garden. These plants are Ideal specimens to All s corner, one plant being sufficient for u striking display. The cestor been blossoip spike le In conspicuous, but the big seed pods are ornamental. To offset the lack of flowers and to enhance the beauty of Ita huge tropical leaves which come In varioos shades from light green to bronzy red, tall flowering unnnals may be associated with It with good effect. Two are unusually effective, the flowering tobaccos and the spider plant. The spider plant should be planted at sufficient distance from the castor bean so that It won’t be shaded and smothered by the big leaves. Four feet would be about right. The spider plant Is found as Cleome Fun gens In seed lists. The flowering tobaccos, Nicotians minis, are sweet scented, open their handsome .flowers about four In the afternoeo and dose during the hot part of the day. They should be planted 18 Inches apart. The seed la very fine, but germinates quickly and grows rapidly. Move ter Civic Tidine** Carelessness In the matter of com munity tidiness seems to be Increas ing generally. England, always noted In the past for Ita nest and well-kept countryside, now complains that news papers, lunchboxes and tin cans are thrown all over the landscape ir bar barous desecration. Everybody in this country has either seen for himself or read about the unsightly state of our own main thoroughfares, our city streets and public works. Tbe national chamber of commerce Is now pushing a movement in the United States, the purpose of which Is to promote civic tidiness. It urges three methods of effecting thle—edu cation, the adequate provision of re ceptacles for waste and rubbish and the enforcement ef the ordinances con cerning' cleanliness that already exist in many cities and towns. - -Here is a reform that couldn't'pos sibly heve menacing accompaniments, and In which everybody, young or old, big or little, may participate. By start ing at one’s own doorstep and watch ing one’s self throughout the day a lot of carelessness can be stepped. Any dtte who wishes can refrain from throwing paper or other litter around where it can become a public nuisance. MASONS GATHER HERE TODAY Congressmen. J. F. Byrnes To Make Address.
