I have .'ipldoni seen a season when 

 the heliotropes have made a more 

 satisfactory growth, and great trusses 

 of fragrant blooms have been a con- 

 spicuous feature In some gardens, with 

 colors varying from pale lavender to 

 deep purple. Along towards evening 

 the heliotropes give off a most delight- 

 ful odor, and while the flowers are not 

 showy, they certainly deserve to be 

 grown freely. If seeds are started in 

 gentle heat in February, and the seed- 

 lings pricked off into three-inch pots, 

 they may be planted out as soon as 

 danger of frosts is over. Probably 

 seedlings do better than cuttings be- 

 cause they tend to make a more grace- 

 ful outline. One good gardener at 

 least says that the result is always 

 better when beds are filled with seed- 

 lings than when cuttings are used, be- 

 cause in the latter case there is al- 

 ways a flat and rather unattractive 

 surface. 



This season the perennial salvias 

 have proved remarkably satisfactory. 

 They have kept the note of blue in the 

 garden well into the fall, and have 

 combined well with the other fall 

 blooms. Hy employing such of the 

 salvias as bloom at different seasons 

 it has been possible to have them in 

 flower all summer. In the list I 

 should certainly include Salvia virgata 

 nemorosa, S. uliginosa and S. azurea. 

 Perhaps I ought to mention also the 

 white and carmine forms of the na- 

 tive Texas species, Salvia Greggi. 

 which are of medium height and be- 

 gin to flower late in June. Give the 

 hardy salvias full exposure to the 

 sun and they will thrive well even in 

 a light soil. 



An English climber which is receiv- 

 ing much attention and high praise 

 although it is by no means new, hav- 

 ing been sent out by Paul & Son in 

 1908, is Lady Godiver. The English 

 growers this year are speaking well of 

 Paul's Scarlet Climber, which has been 

 introduced into this country for a sea- 

 son or two, and which promises to 

 become a valuable addition to the 

 list of garden subjects. I have only a 

 small plant in my own garden, but it 

 bloomed freely this season. It is very 

 lavish with its flowers when it gets to 

 be a large plant, and the blooms show 

 a remarkable presistency. It is an- 

 other variety which in England helps 

 to glorify the month of August, not- 

 withstanding the fact that it begins to 

 bloom in June.

 Detroit, Jlich., are now located at the
