For color, both delicate as well
us rich and velvety, coupled with a
spicy frogranco ull Its own, thoro is
no annual lo compare with the nas
turtium.: For poor soil it Is an
Idual unnual, producing flowora con
tinually until cut- down by frost
and furnishing dully bouquets In
many shudex.
i Tills Is ono of tho most easily
grown and suro-flro annuals there
la In tho soedmcn's lists. Is old
fashioned us our great grand
mothers, yot holding Its own with
the modern beauties. Dent of all,
It will grow well where other an
nuals will languish. It likes heat
and rich soil sends It all to loaves.
Tho dwarf nnoturtlums aro valu
able for bods of a single color or
for bordering beds of other an
nuals. There are yellow-leaved
varieties for brilliant follago as well
as handsome bloom and thcro are
dnrk-lcavcd kinds with rich velvety
crimson flowers. There aro bril
liant variegated sorts as well as
delicate rose and sulphur shades,
In fact tho cntlro rango of colora
except blue. '
Tho climbing nasturtium Is more

them while the gardon greens are

a vcgelablo In thcmselvos although
somewhat Insipid unions well treat
ed with buttor and lamon julco or
vinegar. They cook down with
Wo . U'uvus and add bulk to tho
truthfully speaking a rambler. It
makes a growth as long as a vine
but has no means of climbing, as
it cannot twino and has no tendrils
or suckers such as other vines. It
will push Its way upwards and
tumble over into picturesque heaps
of bloom and bandnome foliage. If
a climbing nasturtium Is desired to
climb to form a screen, it can be
used very rapidly, but It will have
to bo guided and fastened Into
place.
It is an excellent plant to be al
lowed to droop from a window box,
swluglng festoons of bloom below
the box. For scrambling up , wire
fences It Is useful and one of Its
fill cut uses Is for scrambling over I
and hiding stumps. - I

Tho Madam Gunther hybrids of
for'a fine series of soft colorings In
this handsome annual. There Is a
doublo form cultivated as a house
plant and tbo canary bird vine with
Its airy yellow blooms Is a variety
well worth grpwlng. The half-ma-lured
seeds are- line for, pickles,
often being used as a substitute for
capors. . ' '.-
, When a plant becomes highly 'de
veloped and attains unusual
beauty and excellency, there seems
10 be a penalty of plagues and
pests to follow rapidly,' Such has
been tho futo of the aster, which
has been brought to a point where
It rivals the chrysanthemums In
size, with a wider range of colors
not found In the latter.
Some gardeners have given up
In disgust and left asters off the
gardem list, which Is a pity, for
there is no finer fall annual and
none more easily raised until
some of the pests hit It. "Yellows"
Is a new complaint that has
caused a great deal of trouble and
bacteriologists and seed specialists
are working to find out the cause
and a check. The main recom
mendation to avoid th's plague is
to plant the asters in new soils,'
lime the soli thoroughly and give
good cultivation riom the start.
The symptoms of this dlntase are
that the bud remains greenish yel
low and does not unfold and de
velop Its normal color.
Etem rot and root aphis are other
pests. Lline or wood ashes applied
to the soil at planting time avoid

these troubles and copious doses
of tobacco tea or nlcotlno solution
poured about the roots of the plants
will destroy the aphis.
Insect pests, which work above
ground, are more easily controlled.
The aster beetlo comes In August,
Plant later types and this pest Is
eluded. Black or brown aphis,
which often infest the asters may
be dislodged with tobacco, tea, dust,
or nicotine solutions sprayed on the
plants.' They are easy to control.

setting out tho plants, feoong Vf-f
drated lime or pulVerisedMlmestohe
to give It a light coating -llko a
light snow, rake It In lightly and
then give bone meal when the
asters are set out and success is
likely. The pests hoed not deter
anyone from growing asters. It
you had yellows last year, plant
the asters In a different soil this',
year. . . ...
A new wrinkle In bean planting
to prevent them rotting If there Is
a cold spell Is to grease them before
planting. This method Is said to "
prevent decay. Lima beans are'
said to have remained In the (
ground a month with a grease :
coating without rotting. Melted '
lard Is used. It is worth an expert- '
ment with a few llmas planted
right now.
