planning and , Ordering of
Perennials and Shrubs
. May be Done now '
By NETTIE REEVES
. When the month of August, ar
rives, w think there It no more
work to be done In the garden,
hat we are mistaken - and find
that there are many things that
may bo done. In the tall as well
as in the, spring. :
' If we plan to do a large part
ot the planting this year, we will
be that much ahead next spring.
Orders for perennials and shrnhs
should', be : made now, for the
.planting during September and
October.-
This is the Ideal month to sow
lawn seed, because the grass seed
will grow without the competi
tion of the many weed seeds we
find coming up In the spring, and
the grass will hare time to estab
lish a good sod .before winter. Bet
ter results wm he obtained lt wa
tered well, than to wait for the
fall rains,
Oriental poppies are more easily
Tf.nsplanted during this month,
when they are more or less dor
mant.
Deciduous shrubs, such as the
prlret or barberry, will probably
need another trimming during
August, especially it they have
been well fertilized and well wa
tered. The more often a hedge Is
trimmed the more compact it will
become. The yellowing and drying
up of the leaves on the top of the
hedge after shearing la due to sun
scald. Usually this indicates that
too much material has been cut
off or that the hedge has not been
trimmed often enough during the
growing season
Pansies are not hard to grow
it the seed are sown in a cold
f ranfe. After the plants have their
second leaf, they can be trans
planted to another part of the
coldrrame and set three Inches
apart each way. These will giro
you fine large, rigorous plants
early next spring.
One of the best methods to get
people interested In gardening, is
to Tisit some of the finest gardens
and see the beautiful flowers and
shrubs.
The transplanting of plants iu
full bloom is not difficult, if we
are willing to take a large enoueb
clump of soil to cgver the entire
root system. It planted Immediate
ly and well watered, they will eon-
tlnue to bloom as if they had
never been disturbed,
In order to grow prize winning
flowers one must hare well pre
pared flowers. To Increase the size
of the blossom, an application of
amonium sulphate or nitrate of
soda to the plants Just as the buds
begin to show color will tend to
Increase the size. This fertilizer
should be dissolved in water at
the rate of one tablespoon to a
gallon and the plants well watered
with this solution. Also removing
all the buds except one on the
stem, will Increase the size of the
remaining flower. This should
be dona several weeks before the
bloom Is to be out.
Perennial flower seed may be
sown this month, preferably in a
cold frame. An excellent medium
in which to sow them is a mixture
of equal parts of sand and peat
moss. This will contain no weeds,
will not cake and is easily wa
tered. Peonies should not have their
tops cut off until the leaves begin
to turn yellow. This also applies
to all other perennials. The leaves
of any plant are necessary tor the
manufacture of food, and in the
case ot perennials this food must
be transferred to the roots, where
It is stored until growth begins
German iris, it they have not
been divided the last two or three
years, should be divided as early
as possible during this month to
allow them to become established
before winter so that they may
- bloom the next year.
Flower beds which are through
blooming should be fertilised and
spaded to make them ready for
fall planting.

Ago I mentioned tha African
Daisy as a charmrnr ananal. Kmt
long ago a reader asked mo about
tnis. aayingr she had been un
able to find tha African Daisy
listed U her catalogues. . Investi
gation on my part reveals that
most of the cataloguers have
listed It under tha simple little
nomenclature - Dimorphatheea.
Ia spite or this It is a lovely
flower, and well worthwhile to
add to any garden. Sometimes It
name v X much prefer. It I am
to havo a speaking acquaintance
with tho flower. I notice that
most ' Oregon growers, however.
refer to it as the African Daisy.
Africa Daisy Popular
Of tha manr lovelv daisies. I

ular at present. For one. thing
it is a a nick flowerinr lnniil.
often coming Into bloom . six
weeks after tho seeds are sown.
its colorings are also remark
able. Particularly are tho brilli
ant apricot and lemon-colored
varieties attractive. It also
cornea la orange, white, buff and
salmon.
The African Daisy grows about
a toot high and its flowers are
around two and a half Inches
across. Tho texture of the flow
ers 'gives them a short of glit
tery appearance in tho sunshine.
Just recently I havo seen fine
displays of the African Daisy at
the Good Gardens at Stayton and
at Lamberts at Portland. Visl
tors are very welcome at both
of these gardens. Those of you
wno havo not seen this daisy
will do well to become acquainted
witn it during this summer.
Perhaps you will find It Just the
tnug you want to add to your
garaen next spring.
Another daisy which is rapidly
gaining in popularity and which,
too, is not listed in seed lists as
a daisy is tho Transvaal daiav.
Yon will find ft under tho name
of Gorbera, although one English
seed house refers to it as tho Bar-
aerton daisy. This discrepancy in
names of flowers is denlorabla
and most confusing to ns amateur

The Transvaal dalsr is a brilr-
llaat- marguerite -shaped- flower,
with long pointed petals radiating
front a small yellow eentor. Its
color scheme ranges from white
to orange aad from palo pink to
dark crimson. It also comas la
shades. Tha daisy is hardy and,
X believa. will grow as a peren
nial la tha Willamette valley. Last
autumn I saw soma at a flower
show X am under tho impression
u was tna Cower show at tho state
talr and someone called It tho
"California daisy. - Bat this Is
Just a little habit bf California's.
In no catalogues hava X fonad tha
Transvaal daisy listed aa a "Cali-
lornia daisy.", there are cata
loguers who refer to ono variety
of It as tho Scarlet Can daiav or
tho 8carlot taiMj ot tho Capo.
Now that t am on tho subject
of-dalsles. I think that I shall go
ahead and mention a few others
I find Interesting. While it is not
daisy planting time at present (ex
cept in tho cases ot sowing seeds
of certain varieties) It Is decided
ly daisy "seeing time." For those
ot yon who ara Interested la mak
ing aaaitions to your garden, X
would say that now is tha time to
look about yon. There ara many
lovely gardens, both publlo and
not so public which welcome visi
tors. A Uttle time spent at bloom
ing season at tbeso gardens often
proves profitable to tho would-be
gardener.
Painted Daisy is Hardy
Tha Painted' Dalsr. formal!
listed aa the Pyrethrum, is not in
bloom now. This is a hardy daisy
wu xnown to most of you.
There is another pyrethrum not
aa well known as tho pink and
rose ono of early summer. "This
is tho Golden Feather, which is
cultivated more for its foliage
than for its bloom. 'The flowers
usually come out lata in the sea
son. The small English Daisy (Bel-
iis; is also very ' well-known but
tho better houses are listing a
new large variety of this group
which is quite interesting. It
comes in tne usual daisy col
ors of red, pink and pure whit.
The stems ara often six or eight
inches long and the flowers meas
ure two laches across. This is.
of course, a hardy perennial. The
seed should be sown this month.
Tne Swan River Daisy (Bra
chycome) Is a very free-flower
