have rich, fine soil and moisture. It is also sown in 

 spring to bloom in late summer. It is more satisfac- 

 tory to choose your own seeds, letting the lighter 

 shades predominate, as they are more effective in the 

 garden. Plant in patches of solid colors, or in alter- 

 nating colors that blend well. Pansy bloom can be 

 had continuously from May to October by having two 

 sets of plants, fall-sown and spring-sown. In the 

 shorter, cooler seasons of the North, Pansies need 

 not be replaced. 



Pink PETUNIA. The single-bedding Petunia seems to be June-Oct. 

 White l on g er _lived by a few weeks than the larger and double 8 m- 

 or the fringed varieties. Use the single and compact 

 Petunia, as it makes a neater and more even growth. 

 Have white Snowball. Rosy Morn, Pink Beauty, 

 and Brilliant are best in pink. If particular about 

 colors, do not depend upon self-sown seeds, as they 

 are apt to revert to original color. Remove fading 

 flowers. Sow April 1 under glass, if bloom is to 

 begin June 25. 



White * PHLOX Drummondii. Use this charming plant July, late 

 .Pink when the gardener has time to replace it with some- 

 thing else after its comparatively short bloom. It 

 generally blooms about six weeks. Plant 10 inches 

 apart. Pinch out main shoot to induce bushy growth 

 and to prolong flowering season. Keep from going 

 to seed. Sun, good soil, and watering necessary.
