Open hutch.
The desire to display the few
fine possessions brought to the
New World, spurred the demand
for the open hutch atnong early
American settlers. •
The hutch,, or china cupboard
as it is sometimes known today,
is derived from the French word,
`-`huche," a chest or cabinet with
doors, usually on legs or atop a
buffet or sideboard,
As in centuries past, it utilizes
storage space logically without
sacrificing beauty.
The first hutch was manufac-
tured in American in the early
1700's. At that time, a few
'cherished pieces of dinnerware,
glassware and coin silver flat-
ware were' displayed with pride
by the early Canadian home-
steader. And the open hutch is
still used for displays.
So You Want A Bead
To have a good lawn and home
landscape requires, first of all, a
desire for beautiful. surroundings.
Without this desire there is little
likelihood of , success, because
getting and keeping' high-quality
turf means a willingness to care
for it, feed it regularly and mow
and water properly, notes the
Fertilizer Institute.
An attractive landscape also
means . selection, of best -spited,
ornamentals and shrubbery and
proper shrub . placement and
care.
Well landscaped grounds with
healthy green turf means added
home value, as well as satisfac-
tion. On the other hand, just one
or two unattended, run-down
lawns in the neighborhood de-
tracts from the value of all the
homes nearby.

Now is a good tithe to add flow= ,,
ering shrubs to your landscape,
and there's a myriad variety to.
choose from in colors, flowers,
textures, form, and foliage. Plan
them as a hedge, windbreak,
screen, or a changing focal point
in your lawn or garden.
Choose the location and the
effect you want, then check the
conditions — sunny or shade, hot
or cool, soil well drained or dry,
sandy loamy or Clay. Then let
your nursery.. garden center or
mail-order nurseryman help you
select the specific shrubs that
will best serve your purposes and
conditions. •
Once those selections have
been made, these planting
suggestions from' the American
Association of Nurserymen will
help make your placement of the
plants simple and successful.
If you have decided on bare
root plants (instead of container -
grown), soak them in water
shortly before planting. Clip
away any dead or broken
branches, flowers or roots.
The hole for _planting should be
large enough to allow the roots
plenty of room to spread out
naturally, deep enough to allow
the shrub to set about an inch
below its previoussoil line. With
balled or container -grown
hrubs, the hole should be about

(This is particularly important if
your soil is clay - or sandy.)
Sprinkle the bottom of the hole

Place the plant in the center of
the hole, making sure it is

(If the shrub is balled; cut the
string around the burlap and let

The 'final planting step is to
Water thoroughly, making sure
the roots become soaked. Later,
flowering shrubs will require
thorough soaking every week to
ten days if there has not been a
good rainfall during that period.
A mulch of organic materials
such as leaves, compost, straw or
hay, grass clippings, sawdust or
woodchips will help keep mois-

add nutrients for healthy growth.
Spread the mulch about two to
three inches deep around the

than ever. The forecast is
clear and bright for 1974.
Green mint, brick red, canary
yellow, sky blue, tangerine, and
terra cotta are the NOW colors.
Each one is taken from nature,
and canadd real excitement to
any interior.
The Florida look, painting a
room, yellow or lime in com-
bination with lots of white, brings
on a certain freshness, and
creates a cheerful interior, •. It

Decorating with red tones or

white furnishings. The whole
scheme gives a soaring uplift to
the spirits.
