PRETTY ORNAMENT ON PORCH

it Is Just Things Like This Floral Um That Add Attractiveness to a Town. A large granite bowlder hollowed out as a receptacle for a potted plant is the ornament which adorhs the porch

at the home of Paul Brochier, on West Adams street, Los Angeles. The rock Is practically round, except that it is slightly flattened on the base to give it a firm setting. With an ordinary rock drill the inside of the stone was hollowed out so that a large flower pot would fit in exactly. A small •drainage hole was drilled through to the bottom and ground pine was planted in the flower pot.—Popular Science Monthly.

The Ground Pine Seems to Grow Naturally Right Out of the Bowlder and the Effect Is Very Attractive.
