COOPER Announces he has taken over the WEST VAN CLEANERS O'YERS The only Opy Cleaning Plant in West Vancouver SUITS DRESSES OVERCOATS PRESSED $ 1 Oderless Dry Cleaning $ 1 Try our new method of dry cleaning Another type of garden which will prove very interesting is the fern garden. While ferns may constitute the majority of plants in such a garden, there are a number of other plants which will do well under condi- tions similar to those required for ferns. Ferns require a fair- ly well drained acid soil, well filled with leaf mould, so that it will retain sufficient moisture for the plants throughout the dry season. Partial shade is also necessary. For this reason ferns are one of the best plants to use to form a bed or border on the north side of the house. If lime has been added to the soil your chances of a successful fern garden are very limited. If you live near the woods, and who in West Vancouver doesn', take your wheelbarrow and shovel and secure a gener- ous quantity of leaf mould and d;g it into your proposed fern garden and keep adding quanti- ties of it each year. Conditions in a wild or fern garden should be maintained as nearly as pos- sible like those in the woods. This means that there should be no boeing or stirring up of the soil. IVeeds should be pulled out and one's natural tendency to pick up all leaves or decayed or dried up plant stalks should be curbed. )Vhen leaf mould is added to the soil after the plants have become established. it should not be dug in, but put on top of the soil around the plants. Fal- len leaves may be used in the bed to form leaf mould. Leaves ftttm hardwood trees are the best but they are hard to get in this section of the country. For the beginner it is perhaps best to secure the plants for any kind of garden from a re- liable grower rather than try to raise your own. After some ex- perience with the various plants in your garden, the propagating cf plants will prove an interest- ing pastime. In next week's article we will deal with the various ways of propogating plants.

Cooper put into the council a claim for 8125 for damage to his store at 195 - 25th Street due to flooding as a result of a block in the culvert. He was advised that the muni- cipality was not liable, the cul- vert complained of being P.G.E. property. They therefore sug- gested he take the matter up with the company. In this con- nection the clerk was also re- quested to instruct the engineer to send his account to the P.G.E. for damages to corporation property, and also to again call their attention to the culverts which are causing the damage.
