It's enough just to be a human being. But you'll find that the joys of springtime are immeas urably increased by a garden full of beautiful flowers. It is here that life truly spar kles, in a world full of Canter bury bells and morning glories and rose of heaven petunias. It is here, in the glorious, health ful sunshine of your own back yard where there is nothing more fearful than a snapdragon that yen will find the real meaning of life. So even if you've never attempted a garden be fore, try one this season. You'll find the rewards are immeasur able. Once you've really decided to undertake a garden, the first step is to mark off the bounda ries. Working with a rectangle as the basis of your design, use a property boundary for the back line and plan a gracefully curving foreground border. You will find this far more attractive than a straight line, and it can be simply achieved by laying a garden hose in the correct posi- Wardrobe-Dress v-risttn . sizes feWr 9034 10-18 A wardrobe of stunning fash ions complete in this pattern!

Hose Is Guide The hose will serve as a guide for your spade work. Every square inch of the garden should be dug at least to the depth of the spade. If fertilizer is used, it should be thoroughly mixed and worked well into the soil. After completing the spade work, the entire area should be thoroughly raked. Now you are ready for the important job of choosing 4he proper seeds for your garden. The very fate of your flowers depends on the quality of seeds you choose, for no matter how much experience you have or how fertile your soil happens to be, you cannot turn out beau tiful flowers without superior seeds. Naturally, it's impossible to judge the quality of seeds simply by looking at them. The size, formation, and color of your flowers are all in the hands of the seedsman whose product you purchase. Thus I cannot stress too much the importance of choosing a really reputable seeds man. One leading firm with more than 75,000 dealers "triple tests"' all of its seeds. The tests are for germination, quality of the flower and completeness of mixtures. These rigid tests as sure seeds of superior quality. When To Plant The first problem is just when the seeds should be planted. Since identical flower seeds are sold everywhere from Maine to California, the printed planting instructions on the packets must of necessity be general. How ever, one seed firm has con quered this problem in a unique manner. On the backs of the packets are maps showing just when to plant the variety con tained in the packet in any sec tion of the U.S.A. Any beginning gardener, and even an old hand, can well use this type of informa tion as a practical guide. Seeds should be sown thinly and evenly. Special care should be taken not to plant them too deeply. Small seeds like petunia, portulaca and - salpiglossis need not be covered at all, and many varieties need only a little soil over them. Here again it is best to follow the careful instructions on the back of the seed packet. After you have pulverized the soil, just sprinkle the very small seeds over the surface. Press them down with your hand or a thin "board, and water through a newspaper so that the force of the water will not wash them away. Larger seeds should be planted to the depth indicated on the package or to a depth equal to twice the diameter of the seed. Transplanting Although the vast majority of flowers can be transplanted vithout danger, many popular varieties are best sown in their permanent locations. Among these are annual poppies, bache lor's button, sweet pea, mignon ette, candytuft, gypsophila, na sturtium, sweet sultan and most of the " annual vines such as morning glory. . To get an early start some flower gardeners start varieties that can be readily transplanted, ia a sunny protected spot call ed a seed bed.

Mich. (U.R) When you use dried milk solids carefully check the amount needed per cup of water, cau tions Marcille Pidgeon, foods and nutrition instructor at Mi chigan State university. Two new instant dry milk sol ids appeared on the market last year, along with the "older type" of dry milk, and care must be used in reconstituting the solids with milk. Miss Pidgeon explains the in stant dried milk solids dissolve much more quickly in cold wa ter than the older types, result ing in a slightly different baked product. Studies conducted in the' Mi chigan State food and research laboratory show soups, chow ders and frozen desserts made with older type milk solids and the two new instant milk solids are very similar. Generally, double amounts of dried milk solids were used during tssts in an effort to step up the nutritive value of a rec ipe, but increases above that were not desirable. Baked products were less ten der and had a poorer texture when more than double the amount of milk solids called for in the recipe were used. this manner the, rows may be fairly close together since the plants wall be transplanted to their permanent locations in the garden when they are quite small. Other flower gardeners prefer to plant their flower seeds right in their gardens where they want the plants. Handled in this man ner the need for transplanting is eliminated. It is a good idea to space the seeds pretty well so that the seedlings will not be too crowc'.ed. Even then it will probably be necessary to "thin out" some of the plants. Those that are "thinned" can be trans planted to a spot in the garden where they can be used to good advantage. When transplanting, the best time is when the true, mature leaves appear on your plant. The very first leaves, called "seed" leaves, do not look anything like mature leaves and should be ig nored. But when the plant is around two inches high the true leaves will appear and then is the time for transplanting. The ideal weather for the job is on a cloudy day after a long rain. Of course, a good watering may be substituted for the rain, but it does not usually prove to be as satisfactory, mainly be cause the average gardener does not have the time or patience to water as thoroughly as Mother Nature does. In any event, the transplanting should never be attempted under a hot sun. If no cloudy days are available, at least wait until the sun has gone down. When the seedlings first ap pear, some flower gardeners have difficulty in distinguishing them from weeds. This is espe cially true of unfamiliar varie ties. One seed company has found a solution to this prob lem. On the backs of their pack ets, along with the planting map mentioned above, you will find a picture of the seedlings which will help you distinguish them from weeds. As a matter of fact, the backs of most seed packets are filled with useful planting information and should be noted carefully. Next week, we'll discuss trans planting in greater detail, as well as the correct methods of spacing and watering your plants.
