UNUSUAL IDEAS
A novel use for an old umbrella is to remove the cover and place the opened umbrella, with the handle firmly fixed in the ground, in a sheltered corner of the garden. Train an asparagus fern over it, and you will find the result pretty and unusual. Before gardening, rub your hands and finger-nails well with vaseline. This prevents the soil from coming into actual contact with the skin. Then, when you have finished working, carefully wash with warm water and soap, and all traces of the graden will be easily removed. Big frogs are among the gardener’s friends, for they live almost exclusively on the most destructive kinds of vermin.
