manent home. Foxgloves, like forget-me-nots, sow 
themselves, and the little plants coming up this way

grow and become strong before their time to bloom. 
Do not forget to cover during the winter! 
English daisies (which are tender perennials), 
and pansies (which generally are grown as an- 
nuals), can both be started in the seed nursery in 
August, thinned out and protected before cold 
weather sets in, and then moved to'where you wish

pared, moist, and partly shady. The middle of July 
move to a temporary place, and set the plants 6 to 8 
inches apart. Then early in October transplant to 
where you want them to blossom the next season. 
But before the frost comes, protect these tender lit-

leaves over the top, and in the spring work a small 
quantity of fertilizer around the roots. Tie the
