A little know-how, a little<br />
candle power-and you can make<br />
magic in a summer night<br />
BY JOHN<br />
BRIMER, Garden Editor<br />
An outdoor living room is created at night by an over-all floodlight, a tableumbrella<br />
light, and decorative fixtures along the patio rim to enhance greenery.<br />
glass or paper lanterns give a lovely light,<br />
as Edna St. Vincent Millay remarked.<br />
Lights attract insects t it is true, but if you<br />
use the kerosene lamps, add a teaspoonful<br />
of citronella to each oil tank in order to<br />
repel mosquito--..sand other insects as the<br />
oil bums.<br />
It you plan for more than a few outdoor<br />
lights, whether temporary or permanent,<br />
it is, of course, wise to consult<br />
your electrician about the advisability of<br />
a circuit separate from your house panel.<br />
But don't call him till you've made your<br />
experiments with degrees of light, with<br />
placing, and with equipment, and discovered<br />
how to display grounds and garden<br />
for the best effect.<br />
