Pot Plants Add To
Outdoor Decorating
Outdoor gardens can be eas-
ily Supplemented with container
plants for those who want to be
weedless gardeners this spring
and summer. Even avid green-
thumbers appreciate the addi-
tion of colorful flowering plants
or unusual foliage in clay con-
tainers make to outdoor land-
scaping effects.
For maximum' decorative
mileage, try some of the fol-
lowing suggestions.
• Keep the raised planting
bed or planter near the entrance
of the house in flower -show per-
fection with the varied array of.
plants available. at nearby nurs-
eries, florist shops or garden
centers.
Start with spring -flowering
bulbs, then switch to annuals
and tender bedding plants. La-
ter, select hardy chrysanthe -
mums. All are grown in porous
clay pots that can be plunged
right into planter box soil for a
continuous seasonal display.
• A hot spot on patio or ter-
race can be converted into a
cactus garden.
Cacti grow in all shapes and
sizes and make interesting and
unusual arrangements. Plunge
the clay -potted plants into plant-
er soil, or simply slip them into
matching saucers. . They love
sun and a sandy ,soil kept on the
dry side.
• Grow a se1ection of potted
herbs on a kitchen window shelf.
Nothing perks up summer meals
more than fresh herbs. Parsley,
chives, tarragon, basil and mint
can all be grown in small three
or four -inch clay pots.
• Hanging baskets or plants
in pot rings do wonders for bare
stretches of garage wall or fenc-
ing.
If it's a bright sun area, try
geraniums. lantanas or mari-
golds; for shade, fuchsias or
tuberous begonias will provide
the color.
• Postlarnps look still more
decorative when their bases are
encircled by pots of flowers.
Red, pink and white gerani-
ums make a nice combination.
To give plants a'bit of height,
set them on inverted clay pots
or saucers.. -
• Line a flight of sunny . gar-
den steps with pots of sedums,
aloes or other succulents.
The stepped repetition of the
claypotted plants will create a
pleasing pattern.
• Hanging baskets can be.
suspended from overhead lathes
or rafters; even from tree
branches. •
CONTROLLING WEEDS
To prevent weed growth,
maintain a dense, vigorous-.
growing lawn. Thinning lawns
'
with slow grass growth invite
weeds.

BuildingCupola
A project for amateur wood-
workeics--one that enhances the
appearance of the home as well
as,improves the property --could
be the construction of a cupola
for garage, breezeway or wing
o th house. ..
cupola is . easy to make
With' such. materials as stock
moulding and ready-made louv-
ers obtainable at local lumber -
rd;' The •shit maybe assem-
bled with nails and water-resist-
ant glue..
Roof rafters are screwed for
added strength. Using a miter .
box facilitates the.even cutting
• of nriitered moulding and base.
Aiding the construction are
modern power .tools, such as a
power tool kit that's a complete
portable workshop in itself.
The cupola •pro ject; for wood-
working hobbyists was develop-
ed 'by power tool consultants for
General Electric 'Houseware
Division.
Using the schematic accom-
panying this story as a guide,
the following steps are recorn-
mended.
1. Cut uptight cove mould-
ing same height as louver frames
and assemble so edges are flush
with front of louvers.
2. 'Cut and assemble floor
and ceiling from three-eighths
inch plywood. Dab s ma 11
amount of glue on posts, then
glue together.
3. Cut and assemble base .
Angular cut must make pitch of
your roof. Use sabre saw to
make diagonal cuts. A t t a c h
base to plywood floor.
4. Cut and attach rafters.
Use F H wood screws and sink
heads below the surface; C u t
and attach to roof of cupola.

Fixing Up Patio
With Clays- Pots
An attractive. terrace or pat-
io table can be made with three
large, clay flower pots and a
circular piece of wood. Invert
the three pots. and space them
evenly in a tripod arrangement.
Then simply place a circular
piece of wood over the pots to
serve as a table surface. Use
redwood or a precast concrete
slam.
Assemble a handy cigarette
receptacle from two clay pots.
Invert the first pot, then stack
the second right side up. Place
a three-inch bolt, backed by
rubber washers, through the
drainage holes to anchor the
pots; then fill the top pot with
sand. Add a bright coat of
paint, or some of the new de-
als.
