p O R fifty years the J R Stove has held a high place in public esteem and comparison uil l prove that it is still

the best.

Buil t of pure Ingot Iron sheets, thoroughly packed with mineral silicate, the most efficient packing known, J R stoves can be depended upon to give many years of service to their owners. H u g e sales bear testimony to their sterling qualities.

Illustrated is a popular plain finish J R model, a stove which is in constant demand.

Plain finish means that the parts are left rough cast. Obtainable also in standard finish, which means that the f ront edge of the top is polished, while the fire cloor, ventilator and ash pan are nickel plated.

JR Elevated Models

p O R cooking convenience the E L E V A T E D J R Stove above is worth the little extra.

The top is h igher and most of the stooping is el iminated when examining oven cooking.

The idea of e levat ing fue l stoves was originated in the J R W o r k s and met wi th scant encouragement in the ear ly days, but since then sales have increased to such an extent that pract ical ly half the stoves sold to-day are elevated.

This stove is offered in both S tandard and Plain finish (see previous page ) and has the same J R features which keep it in a class by itself.

KITCHEN PLANNING B y E R I C P. T R E W E R N , F . R . I . B . A .

T H E basic principles in the plai ining of the modern kitchen f o r the modern h o m e m a y be stated as f o l l o w s ;

( a ) Disposit ion of kitchen with relation to dining room and trade porch m order to contribute to efficient w o r k .

( b ) Complete ly equipped w i t h useful , clean and sanitary appliances.

(c ) T h e materials used in the appointments of the kitchen should be such as to permit of easy cleaning, and all sur-faces should be clean and washable.

W i t h respect to ( a ) , it is imperat ive in planning f o r the n e w home

PaRO T w e n t y

UM.I.

to place the kitchen within easy reach of the dining room, in order to reduce unnecessary steps to a minimum. T h e service door, how-ever, should not open off directly f rom kitchen to dining room. In order to overcome this disadvantage and to obstruct the diners' view of the kitchen, also to prevent the odours of cooking from permeating the dining room, a service pantry is frequently included in which cabinets for the accommodation of glassware may be provided. T h e refrigerator may also be situated here, which is found to be an excellent position when cool beverages are required for the dining table. Trays and cutlery may also with advantage be provided for in the service pantry, where there should be placcd a small sink with enamel splash back for the rinsing of glasses or the arranging of flowers for household decoration.

In the planning of the kitchen itself the aim should be to place the essential units in such a way as to conform with step-saving arrangements.

Page Twenty-one

U M I .

T h e cooker, whether this be a gas or electric range, should, i f possible, b e placed in a well ventilated and lighted position, with walls tiled or enamelled.

Adjo in ing the range on one side should be a combination sink and drain board, with a high splash back. T h e sink and drain board may be of cast iron enamel, or stainless steel, but should always be in one piece to make for cleanliness.

T h e sink should be placed under a large window for l ight and, besides a pleasant outlook offered to a person at the sink, makes the necessary kitchen work much more pleasant.

T h e hoc and cold water taps servicing the sink should be of the Easy Clean type, chromium plated with capstan heads.

N o water pipes or service pipes should be visible in the idea! kitchen.

Adjo in ing the sink the storage presses should be placed, where com-partments built like pigeon holes should be placed, suitable for rolling pins, egg beaters and other equipment, while a nest of drawers will take care of cutlery, table linen and such like.

These presses snould be sunicientiy large to carry shelves for spice, flour, salt and sugar containers, besides the usual assortment of canned foodstuffs.

Portion of the press should have a glass compartment for crockery. Every article that is needed in the kitchen is therefore within easy reach.

A pot cupboard is usually placed close to the range, provided with wire mesh shelving to permit of good ventilation. In the decorative treatment o f the kitchen, primrose for the walls, and light ivory enamel for cupboards and mouldings, has found much favour. O t h e r suitable schemes arc pale mauve enamel walls and ivory enamel woodwork. Pale green and ivory is also effective.

T h e hot water supply of the modern kitchen is usually taken from a small central system, with boiler and cylinder in laundry ; recently success has been found in the use of central electric hot water system, which is much preferred to the instantaneous type of hot water unit.

J R Combination G a s and ue Stove

J 7 0 R convenience and economy in space, the JR

Combination Stove illustrated on this pa^e brings

to the housewife something far in advance of any-

thing she has ever seen before.

Just imagine it—all cooking can be done in the one

>pot—pots, pans, etc., aUvays at hand.

For that heavy dinner, the fuel stove can be used, and

if a little extra top cooking is retjuired, the gas buiners

are available.

For the light tea or breakfast, the gas portion only is

used when frying, grilling, toasting and boiling can

bf performed, using the wood stove top as the table.

This combination can be had in all models of JR

stoves, so when ordering you need only mention

the number of stove required, at the same time giving

instructions to convert it into a gas combination

similar to illustration.

" y H E Albion H o t Plate has proved itself to be wonder-fully useful where extra or remote top cooking is re-

quired. T e a , coffee and toast, besides a host of other odds and ends can be prepared in large quantities at the one time, r h e extension shelves as shown provide ample room for plates, jugs, coffee pots, etc. Splash back is standard equipment, as is also pot stand underneath.

Th is hot plate has become highly popular in tea rooms, cafes, etc., because of its low price and the number of uses to which it can be put.

Albion Rubbish Incinerator

' J ' H E easy and least annoying way of getting rid of rubbish from the garden is to burn it in one

of these efficient incinerators. N o open fire to be watched—no soot to be blown about. This incinerator is designed on the down-draiijjlit principle, so that combustion is so complete that every ounce of rubbish is quickly reduced to ashe-i ready for the garden. Incinerators are very much sought after to-day, and you'll get no better value than the Albion.

GARDEN . . Us planning and care

P ^ ^ any gardener will tell you, the actual time spent in the planning

and preparation of a garden is time well spent.

Satisfactory growth and best flower-ings, with a minimum amount of labour, depend in many cases upon the work done in the initial stages.

T h e following pages are devoted to garden preparation and maintenance. Space will not allow of elaborate de-tails being given, but it is hoped that the information supplied will be of some help and will contribute a little towards your securing a first class garden in the midst of luxurious lawns, Refer to Pages 53 to 55 for details of useful U .

ANNUALS AND PERENNIALS T h e bes t way of m a k i n g a c o l o u r f u l g a r d e n is by sowing a n n u a l s and perennia l s . B u t d o n ' t sow them thickly. G i v e each p lant r o o m to d e v e l o p — t o spread its branches . T o d o this y o u must " t h i n o u t " cont inual ly so that each plant s tands at least ten inches f r o m another .

S o m e p lant s d o better if sown in boxes , then t ransp lanted —other s d o better by g r o w i n g exact ly where they are sown. A n y s e e d s m a n will g u i d e you . but in every case p r e p a r e the g r o u n d well by d e e p s p a d i n g a n d a d d i n g g o o d manure , and if you g i v e p lant s room to d e v e l o p you will s o o n have a g a r d e n of pret ty b looms ,

ROSES T h e r e are few p laces in a g a r d e n where roses will not d o well. O u r c l imate is part icular ly a d a p t e d fo r rose culture. R o s e s s h o u l d n o t b e p l an ted in a too shady place. T o s andy soil add a quant i ty of loam and old m a n u r e to stiffen it, as roses like a well-drained heavy soil . T h e location of t h e rose g a r d e n should be, if poss ible , in a g o o d o p e n pos i t ion which ge t s the sun dur ing t h e whole day , b u t sheltered f r o m heavy westerly winds . M a y , J u n e , J u l y a n d A u g u s t are the feest m o n t h s fo r p lant ing , but in f a v o u r a b l e seasons you can still p l ant d u r i n g early S e p t e m b e r , p r o v i d i n g a little extra care is exerc i sed . Ear ly p l a n t i n g will g ive t h e bes t results.

Incorrec t p l ant ing m e a n s p o o r results. D i g a h o l e a b o u t twelve to f i f teen inches in d iameter , Tsut l a rge e n o u g h to a l low all the roots to spread well out. T h e depth should be about e i gh teen inches—fi l l the b o t t o m with a bucket of well-rotted m a n u r e , over which p l ace about two inches of soil , a n d tread down firmly with a s l ight c rown in the centre . P l ace t h e b o t t o m of t h e s tem o n the crown so that the b u d d e d or g r a f t e d pos i t ion of t h e s tem will he a b o u t one inch under the final level of the s u r r o u n d i n g soil .

Fill in about three inches of soil and s p r e a d careful ly over the e x t e n d e d root s a n d tread d o w n f irmly, p o u r a bucket of water into the ho le . W h e n this has drained away, fill in t h e b a lance of the soil loosely. P l a n t e d under this m e t h o d the new rose p lant will not require water fo r a few days . A l w a y s r e m e m b e r that a rose loose ly p lanted will never m a k e a g o o d plant , b u t be care fu l not to d a m a g e the roots .

P R U N I N G , — T h e r e is really n o rule r e g a r d i n g the p r u n i n g of roses , as each variety has to be cons idered . W i t h c l imbing roses a heavy p r u n i n g is advised just a f ter the S p r i n g flowering, l eav ing t h e y o u n g e s t a n d s t ronges t w o o d only. C u t away weak branches , at the s a m e t ime shor ten ing all laterals and s ide shoot s to a few b u d s , and take o u t any dead wood .

H y b r i d P e r p e t u a l s of a m o d e r a t e l y weak growth s h o u l d be p r u n e d d o w n to two or three eyes, all weak and crowded s h o o t s taken out . T h e super f luous w o o d s of s t rong b u s h e s should a l so be taken out , p r u n i n g the s t r o n g shoot s , d o w n to two feet in l eng th a n d the smal ler ones to about o n e foo t . D o n ' t leave the s h o o t s t o o l o n g as this causes the b u s h e s to b e c o m e weaker each p r u n i n g . P r u n e in mid-W i n t e r only.

With T e a or H y b r i d T e a ot any of the e v e r - b l o o m i n g varieties , t h e p r u n i n g can be d o n e at any t ime of the year when p lant s are o u t of b l o o m .

D o n ' t leave t o o much w o o d on t h e plant if you want l a rge roses with long s tems .

P a ^ e Fi f ty-Ti int *

THE POTTING OF PLANTS T h e first essential in pot t ing is to secure a suitable soil and ample drainage. T h e s e two factors are i m p o r t a n t . T h e richest soil consists of a mixture of well-rotted turfs , cow manure and peat. S i lver sand and w o o d ashes or soot arc bcnef ic ia l . K e e p this mix ture in a heap and let it t h o r o u g h l y rot . T h e l o n g e r the better . A good soil should always be of a f ree and porous nature even when pressed t ightly into the pots. D o n ' t use new or fresh manure .

T o get ready for pot t ing give pots a good soaking in water . H a v e some pieces of pot <ir good drainage material handy. P lace piece of b r o k e n pot or c r o c k c r y over the bot tom hole , ho l low side down. P lace pieces of fibre over it, t h e n throw in dra inage material and again cover with fibre; then fill up with pot t ing soil. W h e n plants are pot ted, see that there is a good passage o f air up t h r o u g h the b o t t o m hole . If s tanding on soil place gravel underneath pot . I f on boards, have them narrow. I f in saucers, see that no water is allowed to remain, as any water lying ahout will keep the roots soaked and ruin the plant .

T O R E - P O T . — D o n ' t c o m m e n c e to re-pot until y o u have all your materials handy. S o a k the new pots and add your drainage material . T h e n put in sufficient pot t ing soil to allow you to place the ball of earth conta in ing the plant to its correc t he ight .

N o w place your f ingers on each side o f the plant , turn the pot upside down and strike edge gently on your b e n c h . T h e ball o f soil will leave the pot in one piece. Let the loose dra inage material fall away, but do not force as t h e root fibres may be damaged. R e m o v e the top soil o f the ball without t o u c h i n g the r o o t fibres and with both hands press it gently into the new pot , b r i n g i n g the base o f the leaves to within one hal f inch f rom the top of the new pot ; t h e n fill up with c o m p o s i t e all around the ball and strike base o f pot gently on bench to settle plant into posit ion. P lace in sheltered position and water gently .

ROCKERIES Y o u can turn ugly corners to good a c c o u n t and can secure f lourishing plants by means of rockeries . A n y good, solid material can be used. Black rocks from the sea b e a c h are very .suitable, or pieces o f quarry stone.

I t is usually unsuitable to raise rockeries on grass. Gravel or c o n c r e t e foundat ions arc best. S n r i n g t ime is the best t ime to prepare rock work as t h e soil will have time to settle and the .stones will b e c o m e settled b e f o r e t h e frosts of the fo l lowing W i n t e r .

LAWNS I n the making o f a lawn drainage is most i m p o r t a n t . S o , af ter you have b r o k e n j p the land to a depth of e ight to ten inches , lay down three inch drainage pipes ahout two or three fee t deep. I f soil is p o o r , add a good dressing o f catt le manure .

B e f o r e sowing the seed see that the g r o u n d is nice and level or evenly s loped. M a k e it firm and add a dressing of b o n e dust or wood ashes. R o l l with a heavy roller in dry weather . D u r i n g the A u t u m n is the bes t t ime of the year for laying down a lawn and sowing, and if possible choose a caim and cloudy day. Sow your seed e v e n l y — a b o u t one pound to every fifty square yards. T h e n rake l ightly into the soil. R u n the heavy roller over it : water regularly and careful ly. M o w as soon as growth is high e n o u g h to cut. T h i s is important , as is f r e q u e n t rol l ing. M o w and roll at least o n c e a week and let cut grass l ie where it falls to protec t roots f r o m the hot sun.

Pul l up weeds as .soon as they appear . F o r lawns which receive hard usage, turf with Buffalo or Blue Couch grass. T h e s e cannot be g r o w n f rom seed—smal l tufts o f the required grass about six inches apart will soon make a good lawn. K e e p your grass fed just as you would flowers. T o p dress during the W i n t e r m o n t h s with rich soil, cattle manure or some o t h e r r e c o m m e n d e d fertiliser.

Thig Is the best mon th for putt ing: out Uoses, Evergreen Shrubs and Ornamenta l Trees; also such p lants as Carnat ions, Pentstemoiis, Pelar-Konlums, v io le ts and Strawberr ies should be put in. P lan ts put In du r i ng Apri l take root rap id ly ami become established before the Win-ter.

V E G E T A B L K GAKDUN .—In the vegetable garden make another p l an t i ng of Broad Beans; also Salaci P lants and the main sowing ot the var ious Onions, Potato Onions, Tree Onions and Shal lots can also be planted now. D i g deeply al l vacant land, add ing a good dreSKing of manure, in preparat ion for early Spr ing p lan t ing , and a lways in-corporate the Summer mulcl i w i t h the soil.

MAY

The various seedlings sown tn March wil l bo now growing rapid ly and should be careful ly tended. If too th ick, th in out or t ransp lant Into boxes. Sturdy p lants can only be grown by af ford ing them space, l ight and a i r whi le they are young. AH soon as large onougl i to trans-plant , they should be put out into their permanent quarters. Pansies. •Stocks and Cinerarias should also be planted w i thou t delay. May is the best mon th to p lant Roses, t hough they may be put in any t ime up to Augus t . Carnat ion P l an t s also should now be planted. If not already in. They do much better p lanted now than in the Spring, and better qua l i ty p lants can be supplied. This is the month to order Violets and re-make old beds. P lanted now, they become established at once. Pe largon iums and Pentstemons may also now bo planted, but they wi l l succeed any t ime t i l l early Spr ing. Deciduous F r u i t or Ornamenta l Trees may now be ordered. The earlier they are planted in the W in te r the better. V E G E T A B L E GARDEN' .— Aspara-gus and Rhuba rb may nuw be planted. Strawberry beds should be planted before the end of the month, if not a lready in. A sowing of Ear ly Peas may be pu t in.

fa l l and receive their W in te r dress-ing of l ime su lphur . The most sui table t ime for these operations depends on the cl imate, the warmer the cl imate, the earl ier they should be pruned and dressed. P run ing tends to force Roses into fresh growth , and this is not desirable t i l l tlie heavy frosts are over. Hardy Annua l s and Perennials , as they become large enough for trans-p lant ing , should be put out in the borders. Keep the borders weeded and free f rom snails. Th Is is the mon th for p l an t i ng lioses and De-ciduous Fru i t s and Ornamen ta l Trees; also Evergreen Shrubs, and Is a good t ime to dress the garden w i th bone dust.

. lULY

The p l an t i ng of Hoses and De-ciduous F ru i t Trees should be con-t inued this mon th i f possible. W i t h Evergreen Ornamenta l Trees and Shrubs and Ci trus Trees, however, p l an t i ng can be cont inued un t i l August . The p r un i ng of Roses and F ru i t Trees, and W i n t e r spray ing them w i th l ime su lphur to prevent leaf curl on peaches and other troubles should be completed this mon th in a l l mi ld cl imates, say, where oranges thrive. In colder districts. Rose p run ing may be de-layed till August , This Is the month to put In members ot the I . i ly fami ly , choosing a posit ion shel-tered f rom winds ; also bulbs of the sweetly-scented Tuberose. The var ious Annua ls and Perennials in the seed beds should now be transplanted to their permanent beds.

VEG1£TABI,E GARDEN .—Sow ings under a f rame In boxes can be made of Tomatoes for early p lan t ings but they wi l l require protection til l the frosts are over, i l a i n p lan t ings of Potatoes can now he made: also •Jerusalem Art ichokes, wh ich are very heavy croppers, and wi l l grow almost anywhere, requ i r ing s imi lar treatment to the Potato. Pu t In large sowings of Peas, choosing early and late varieties for suc-cession. Transp lant Onions. A sow-ing of these can st i l l be made, choosing an early variety.

j r \ E

This Is a good mon th to overhaul the garden general ly. Primroses, P lyan thus and Daisies can be di-vided and replanted. Dah l i a Tubers should be taken out of the ground and stored in a dry place till the late Spring- Another sowing of Ear ly Peas for succession may be put in, choosing a well-drained bed. Now also is a good t ime to p lant Asparagus and Rhubarb . Towards the end of the mon th and dur ing Ju ly , the F ru i t Trees and Roses should be pruned as soon as leaves

,Vl"GrST The k inds of seeds that can be sown in this month depend largely on c l imate and s i tuat ion. In some dis-tricts, very few frosts are looked for in Augus t , whi le in others, they extend Into September. Such plants as Melons, Ea r l y Cucunibers and Tomatoes wi l l not stand the sl ightest frost, and require con-siderable wa rm th in the ground to br ing them on- Usijal ly these can be sown towards the end of the month i f they are careful ly pro-tected f rom cold winds and are planted In a well-drained warm
