' By NETTIE REEVES
There are many people who dis
like yellow flower of any. kind.
It seems that yellow la a great fa
vorite or the. Great Gardener, how
over, as; there ire moro yellow
flowers tmonr om wild flowers
than any other color exceot white.
Perhaps it is tod common, that is
Yet 11 all yellow flowers were
uminaiea, now ami would our
fields and roadsides appear the
greater part of the year, for from
the earliest dandelion te the lat
ent-blooming goldenrod, yellow is
tne most conspicuous of all colors.
Then too. among our- cnltirated
f lwers, the yellow of the crocus is
followed by the narcissus, and
Ten among plants of various col
ored blossoms like tulips and pan
sies there may be found those of
Iiure yellow. Buttercups are a do
Ight to the children, and a field
of these glittering with gold is al
ways a thing of beauty, although
not a Joy to the farmer.
And what brightens up a coun
try roadside like the great masses
Of yellow primroses that bloom so
freely and so long in certain lo
calities. Then the yellow foxgloves
that light up the shady places in
damp woods certainly deserve ad
miration. Among the shrubs, the earliest
to bloom is the flowering currant;
and in some states even earlier
than these are the yellow Jasmines
iwhose golden sprays brighten up
the sombre-hued cedars, as If to
do their best to beautify the world.
Some claim white as an emblem
of purity, red of love, blue of
truth; but Is not yellow a fit em
blem of the riches of God's conn-
try? The yellow of the aunllght--who
would wish its rays to be of
any other hue? Some of our finest
roses are different shades of yel
low. Because It Is one el Goers
, commonest gifts, is it then to be
despised? .

. In the culture of larkspur one
of the; very important things to
understand Is that-these plants

seed should be." jown where the
plants are to remain and sinee
tho seeds are rather small, it Is
well to broadcast them carfully
or drill them sparingly in rows,
and when they are established, to
thin out the plants to about eight
or ten Inches apart. .
Larkspurs are extremely color
ful in ho garden and making a
striking background tor ' lower
growing plants, and-by reason et
their long stems and willowy ap-
oearance. thev are also verv dec-
bratlve as a cut flower. . -
Now there are salmon shades
In larksnur. This is something
comparatively new," for they were
Introduced only a, few years ago.
Larkspur La France and Empress
are two varieties in the salmon
Shades, and other introductions
include Los Angeles, which is a
deep rose on salmon ground, and
Miss California, a deen pink-shad-.
ed salmon. .Theso aro outstand
ing varieties and aro ' tho result
Of many years -of - plant breeding
and selection. .
Tho ' annual larkspurs should
hot be confused with the delphin
iums which are perennial. These
also hare been greatly improved
In recent years ; with a greater
range of color combinations,' lar
ger flowers and taller spikes.
Some of the leading delphinium
specialists have their headquar
ters on tho Pacific coast particu
larly In tho northwest, where, con
ditions aro ideal Tor the growing

planting. Although. th$ mum roots
do not go so. very deep it is well
to dig no the soil tor the bed
at least to a depth of Iff Inches.
As they are heavy eaten and com
paratively poor foragers, one
should add a moderate amount Of
well rotted manure or. good com
mercial fertiliser. Tney require av
reasonably rich,, well drained.
light soil and a sunny location.
They will flower longer if shelt
ered from north or east winds by
a wall. Frequent soil-cultivation is
of first importance; occasional
and thorough, watering during dry
periods. next. Both ot these impor
ting points can be cared for to a
degree bypladng a two-inch layer

Stimulants added during the

It provides a congenial home tor

Where soil .do not contain
humus, or where tho growth of
