HOMES - 5 Anaheim Gazette FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA BUILDING FAX by Carl Meyer Sec., Orange Co. Bldrs. Assn. The services of an architect can be invaluable to the home builder. This is especially true whenever the prospective home builder is not completely certain of all the details involved in building or lacks precise plans for his home-to-be. Architects are licensed by the State of California, and must pass rigid examinations prior to being admitted to practice. The services rendered by an architect are comprehensive and amount to far more than merely drawing floor plans and specifications—a task that is often done within the architect's office by a draftsman. It is the architect who draws on his scientific training, his vast knowledge of building materials and methods, his ingenious knack of designing a house so that it will, when completed, give you the greatest possible living enjoyment. The architect's services to you begin before a single plan is drawn, and continues until after the final completion of your home. First, he discusses with you the kind of house you want, often assisting you in determining the best possible building site for the size and style of home you desire. Next, he prepares initial sketches which will help visualize the house of your dreams. Then, with a plan approved by you, the detailed working drawings are prepared by the architect or by his office under his direction. With detailed drawings completed, the architect next assists you in selecting a contractor (or, of course, you may specify a particular contractor) and attends to the important, indispensable matter of awarding contracts for the building of your home. When construction gets under way, the architect proves of even greater value and help. He continually checks the progress of the building; he makes certain that materials are of the right LEE'S GAL FRIDAY CORRUGATED GLASS part leaves of a rubber plant a and subdued background o window provides comfortab It is the architect who draws on his scientific training, his vast knowledge of building materials and methods, his ingenious knack of designing a house so that it will, when completed, give you LEE'S GAL FRIDAY Garden Gossip DID YOU EVER THINK how very suitable it is that the month of May opens and closes with emphasis on the use of FLOWERS.

"More For Your Building Dollar" Speaking of ROSES, we invite you to come in and see the samples of TWO NEW ROSES, introduced by ELMER ROSE GROWERS, which will be available in 1952. One is a really outstanding RED FLORIBUNDA called CARROUSEL and the other is a dainty PINK FLORIBUNDA fittingly named KATHY FISCUS. We predict that the CARROUSEL will be one of the most popular ROSE INTRODUCTIONS of 1952 because of THREE IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTICS: (1) it's VIGOROUS growing habit, (2) it's clean, SEMI-GLOSSY FOLLIAGE, and (3) most important of all, the LARGE, DARK VELVETY RED BLOSSOMS which hold their rich color until they drop cleanly from the plant. These important features will make this ROSE ideal for HEDGE PLANTINGS. You will love the delicate PINK DOUBLE FLOWERS (which improve with age) of the KATHY FISCUS. This ROSE also has GOOD FOLLIAGE and is a STRONG GROWER. REMEMBER to keep your ROSES doing well through the SUMMER; give them PLENTY of WATER, FERTILIZE them occasionally, and SPRAY frequently.

In this country home, secluded by a grove of orange trees, recogitation of Amaheim's mild climate is seen in the provision for comfortable outdoor living. The back contour of the house partially encloses a 12x28 foot patio which is shaded by over head beams known to the trade as egg crating. The floor is of red cement, and the patio is furnished with garden furniture of aluminum tubing. The backyard is beautifully landscaped, and guests are delighted by the utilitarian barbecue house. Children are particularly intrigued with the outdoor drinking fountain of Arizona flagstone. The house itself is constructed on a cement slab with asphalt tile floor covering in the service unit, den and boy's bedroom. The remaining floor area is covered luxuriously with wall to wall carpeting over air foam rubber padding. The generous amount of window space which includes an enormous picture window in the living room is dressed with pleated pull drapes of a new fabric called Cellaloom. It needs no lining and is sunproof. Textures are important in the modern trend of interior decoration. In this home, structural glass and flagstone blend with pebbly wall paper of grass cloth and the rather rough walls of painted cement blocks. Contemporary ash furniture upholstered in colorful frieze is used throughout augmented by serviceable built-ins. The kitchen with its adjoining breakfast space is a joy to enjoy.

Spring is the usual time for setting out Fuchsias but they may set out at any time. They require a fertile, well-drained, moist soil. Some varieties will end almost full sun all day, most will do well on the east side of building, while others like at first partial shade all day. An addition of peat moss or mold to the soil is beneficial. The young plants should be chiced back a few times while small to make them bushy compact.
