TIIE OMAHA SUNDAY NEK: MAY 0. 1015. Very Handy Five-Room Cottage vf For The Garden v4 & The Home Builder & Cut Out All Weeds and Wild Grasses to Keep Up the Lawn On of the ' most Important points In keeping the Un look In well la to cut out all weeda and wild trrassee. An ss pararus knife makea a good imp'ement for this purpose: regular wM knife or pud may be had at a reasonable trlce. For the small lawn an old kitchen knlfo W0.1 do. But cut deep, and above all never let weeds or undesirable grasses go awed. Borne of the worst, eurh as era grass, are annuals, which ran soon ba lasted If they are. never allowecj t feed. The frequent use of a-roller ia one of the most effective means of getting and keeping a first-class tt'un. Mow fre quently, but not too close. Have neat, well-kept edges; an edger, which may be (hoUght for 60 or 71 cents, and a good harp boe are the only tools necessary. In trimming edges a mistake very com monly made la to go bark too far Into the sod, leaving a little bank of dirt sev eral Inches high. This dries up very quickly and Is easily broken down by every wheel or shoe that touches It. Keep your roads and paths as narrow as Possible. They will look bolter and will 3 be murh f reef" from Weeds or grass. The rane fruits, such as raspberries and blackberries, often Inrrease themselves both by the rooting of the tips of ranea where they touch the ground and by In creasing at the roots. Consequently lit an old bed enough atrong young plants may b found to make a new planting In the spring. Or the tips may be bent down to form new plants, being held In Flare by pegs or stones and covered with soil, Many other things, such a cur rants, gooseberries and grape, may be layered In murh the same way. Hard wood cuttings of iranjr of the 'ornamental shrubs that were made last fall, and have been wintered In the cellar or outdoors under a mulch, should be planted In sn upright position in a long, narrow trench or furrow where drainage Is perfect. It is a good plan to add some sand to the soil. Tut the heel or larger end down, Huch cuttings are sometimes burled for the winter with the big end up to Indued callusing. Two or three buds or eyes should be left above ground. Btlr the soli about the cuttings occasionally to prevent the formation of a rruat. As dry weather cornea on they should be watered once' In a while. . When well rooted they may be transplanted to other rows or Into iots, or may be left to make a season's growth before being set in permanent places. Plenty of room should be allowed, as some of the more rapid growing kinds make a surprising growth during the first season. i 1 . tfJe have all popular named varieties Get your favorite AT ' Die Nebraska Seed Co. 1613 Howard SL Fhone Douglas 1261 -J IllgM ' . ft &OOAt t L?sraj H' " " tt iff,jj.r:;.r, The plan shown today la one of tho newest designs of the familiar five-room cottage so popular In and about Omaha. It Is very economical to build and con veniently arranged. The living room Is across the front of the house and directly in front of the dining room. The kitchen Is back of the dining room, with built-in pantry cupboards and entry for Ire. This plan ia different from the ordinary five-1 room cottage, In that the bed rooms are at each side of the bath loom and con nected by a hall that also opens Into the kitchen and dinning room. The di mensions of the house are 24x40 and the rooms are all of good size and 'nine-foot ceilings. ' Note the arrangement of the vestihulo and the small coat closet directly off of It and the closet for the front bed! room behind that. Also note the built-in buf fet and bookcase pedestals between the dining room and living room. t . This home makes a good one for a young couple Just starting to keep house, for It Is large, enough to meet their re quirements and not too large for the young housekeeper.

Some More Business Property in City. PLANS TO ERECT BUILDINGS If there ia any on nonresident who has kept his finger on the pulse of real estate values in the Nebraska metropolis more persistently ' than has Horace Plunkett. the Dublin landlord, Omaha real eft ate men are not able to nauio him. Sir Horace as a millionaire has had large property holdings in Omaha for a great many years. Occasionally he soils a piece here, but most of them he holds and watches the values grow and the rents increase. Although Sir Horace spends most of his time in Dublin and only once In a period of years chances to come to Omaha, he has not been blind and deaf to the fart that real estate is substantial here and that values have experienced sn upward tendency recently. Ho has not been blind to the fact that the heart of the city ia Just now unfolding and be ing developed with a burst perhaps never before experienced in any one year. Meekinsi More Barejataa, With aU these things lp. mind. Sir Horace has authorised his Omaha ageut. Conrad Young, to get In the harness and do a little business for him here. He has authorised him apparently to get In the big game of transactions being played and pocket a few deeds before they are all pocketed. During the last week there has been a renewal of Plunkett activity in Omaha real estate transactions. Sir Horacu bought the lots Just east of the (?roune block at (Sixteenth and Capitol avenue. whii-h he already owned. He has an- I thorised his Omaha agent to tear down the Crouns block and hulljf a bigger structure, covering both '"the present Crounse lot and the lot he has Just pur chased. This will be done as . soon as satisfactory arrangements are made with prospective tenants. - The price paid for the lot was not made nubile. Qore the week was out there name to light another purchase made by Horace Pluukett. This time he acquired the brick store and flat building at the, northeast corner of Twenty-seventh and Leavenworth streets from M. H. Kills. The property was valued at 1,(A) in t'.i transaction, which Included a trade of the store and flat building at l&U North Twentieth street, it being traded In at a valuation or ,$10,000. On the whole, the Investments of Plr Horsce Plunkett In Omaha property dur ing the last week prnbrbly represented I7S.0 or $100,000. Harrison Talks Against the Signs "The City National bank and the State hank building companies should be com mended for their attitude in not allow ing big signs to extend out over the sidewalks," said C. F. Harrison, speak ing to the Real Estate exchange. "They have taken the lead In this movement la Omaha, and It ought to be appreciated by the people who want a neater and cleaner looking city." I know personally that tho State bank building lost a tea ant. It could have, had Just because the manager would not allow the tenant to use an overhanging sign." Mr. Harrison spoke. . of the advanced steps ' some of the ' eastern cities had taken- In the sign matter, and asserted that It gives a city a. decidedly neat, clean and trim appearance. Bo do away vith, the overhead signs.
