In this case a French patron of botany, Mons. Galllard. As with larkspurs, lupines, pop pies, and many other kinds of plants there are both annual and perennial -varieties... The blossoms are daisy-like in form, and the colors are reds and yellows; The annuals are generally red and very double, similar to carnations. The perennials are single and some varieties have tubular flow erets bordering . to the edgesj . The plants grow about two feet - high and bloom from early sum mer "until late fall, . oven . after quite a hard frost They produce long-stemmed -flowers-which are tine ; for cutting and that will Tteep fresh for -several days in jrater." . : -h .." -; y ...

After the bulbs come one of the most dependable and exquisite of border plants, the beautiful iris. By including some of each of the different kinds. Siberia! Spanish, German and Japanese, the period of Iris bloom' is lengthened Into early summer. And, of course, no garden wonld.be complete without tthe peony, th rose's only rival in loveliness and fragrance.

' Historic Spade Used in Garden MONMOUTH, May 14 Miss Cora Smith of Monmouth does a large part of her garden work with a spade which has been con tinuously In use in her -family for 47 years. The blade is approxi mately TH by 11 Inches, and worn much shorter on the left side. The original handle is la excellent condition. A new surface coat will not re- pair a broken or worn out pave ment. Neither will sodding bring about luxuriant turf when the soil and conditions beneath are not tight.

That modern homo embraces the entire lot. and as signs to every square foot of sur face a function, useful or orna mental. The owner who neglects to de velop his grounds oa this prla ciple not only limits his own en joyment of a property which has cost him plenty bat lessens its resale value. Complete planting, according to a modern plan, may require more outlay than he cares to make In one year but It Is easily possible to spread the ex penditure over several years oa a budget system. Gardens de not depreciate with years as buildings do. With In telligent care they grow more val uable, and newer plantings Quick ly mature Into perfect harmony with the old. No planting can be done until the grounds are graded and the walks established. And there must be a definite visualisation of the ultimate effect. This means a plan. In the mind or on paper. and It is safer on paper Think out the successive steps to be taken according to the amount which can be expended each year. Mark out shrub and flower beds and borders, and see that they have good soil to proper depth, then plan the lo cation of trees. Trees aad foundation Planting may well be planted the first Tear, The trees need time to grow, and the foundation planting will help the house to fit into Its new sur roundings. The lawn should be seeded and annuals sown the first year. The second year may be plant ed the shrubbery masses which are to screen objectionable views. and put in the evergreens and other accent plants. Then shrub bery backgrounds for the borders may be planted, and in front of them perennials for the per manent garden picture. Later the architectural features can be add ed as the final touch to the gar den picture. Such a budget program can be found full of Interest. As the C op eland9 s Sale of Pants Continues!
