grandmothers' igardcnB, lias become
a regular occupant of the green
houses as well us the garden.
The new shades may bo described
as nutuinu tints, terra cottas, cham
ois pinks, roses and crimsons shad
ed with yellow, oranges nnd flame
colors in great variety. They lend
themselves to summer bedding In
magnificent style. They are also
fine subjects for color paintings,
grading tho delicate shades from the
whites n:rt delicate tints to the
blnck-crlmson varieties. There are
also a series of pink shades which
aro unusually attractive.
The half dwurf varieties give the
best satisfaction III beds. They give
more flowers than tall plants- which
are at their best under greenhouse
culture, but run up to une single
tall stem In tho gurdua, while the
half dwarf nnd dwarf varieties arc
more branching.
As it takes tho snapdragon some
weeks to develop its beauty, they
are best started early In boxes to bo
transplanted, when the weather per

vegetables tako more out of the soil
than the others and It Is more neces

Many home gardeners have had
substantial success lu growing flue
big onions by sowing the seed in
doors or In hotbeds or cold frames
and then transplanting the plppts
to tho garden when the ground
would permit.
It is the only way really big,
mild, temlor-f leaned onions can be
grown in the north, and there are
several types of seed, such as the
Danvers and I'rlzetukit varieties,
which are adapted for growing home
"Ilermudiis." Ailsa Craig Is anoth
er favorite for big oinons.
For young onions, sets should )c
