Bloom this Summer—Many produce Excellent Cut Flowers 
Very desirable for City Gardens—Thrifty and Vigorous 
When we think of a bungalow we invariably associate with it, thoughts 
of flowers—a profusion of flowers. This is undoubtedly due to the fact, 
that the early history of the bungalow is indissolubly linked with trees 
and flowers. The first bungalows were built by the European Settlers 
of tropical India, where great masses of gay and enchanting oriental 
flowers are always abundant. 
It is only within comparatively recent years that the Dune slon, type 
of home has: become popular in the United States. Making its appear- 
ance first amid the verdant hills and valleys of California, it was not 
long, ‘before they were adopted throughout the country. Their popu- 
larity is due in a great measure to their simplicity and also because there 
is a feeling of ease and comfort about them that is often lacking in a 
More pretentious dwelling. Usually, the design of a bungalow is such 
that it lends itself most admirably to many schemes of garden making, 
Altho the name of ‘‘Bungalow’”’ Collection was given to this beautiful 
group of annual garden flowers, they should by no means be limited to 
bungalow gardens. They will prove equally valuable for any suburban, 
country or city garden, and particularly in the latter, as this collection 
contains many of the thriftiest and most dependable varieties that can 
be relied on to grow and blossom, even unider the most adverse conditions 
such as are often encountered in city gardens. \ 
The small sum spent for this excellent collection will give a hundredfold 
return not only by increasing the value of the property, but also in the 
great amount of happiness that it will give the family. 
A house surrounded with borders and beds of charming flowers posses- 
ses that added subtle touch of livableness that really makes it a home. 
With the great array of variety that this collection offers many de- 
hehe planting schemes can easily be worked out if the cardinal princi- 
ples of garden making are observed, these are: 1st—Leave an open 
space. 2nd—Plané wherever possible in masses and 3rd.—Avoid 
straight lines. 
Two varieties of climbing plants, Cobea Scandens and Japanese 
Morning Glories are included which may be used for background work 
such as covering fences or any unsightly objects, also for screening in 
porches, covering pergolas and the like. : 
Many of the flowers in: this collection are ideally suited for cutting. 
The Centaureas or Cornflowers are grown by the million annually for the 
florists trade. Others including the Cosmos, Candytuft, Nasturtiums, 
Zinnias, etc., are popular and beautiful for cutting. his collection there- 
fore does not only serve for beautifying the garden, but also for adorning 
the ving room and for other decorative purposes. _—_—_ 
The culture of these flowers is very simple. The majority of them may 
be sown directly in the open ground after danger of frost is over. The 
soil should be dug to a depth of about eight inches and enriched either 
with well rotted stable manure or Henderson’s Garden Fertilizer, which 
should be used at the rate of ten pounds for a space of about ten by 
twenty feet. The work of digging can be performed most easily and 
satisfactorily with a four pronged digging fork, care should be taken 
that the soil is finely pulverized and that the manure or fertilizer is 
thoroughly mixed in. It is well to add a word of caution regarding the 
sowing of the seed: care should be taken that it is not sown too deep. 
A safe rule to follow is to cover the seed about four times the depth of 
the seed itself, viz: a seed about an eighth of an inch thick should not 
be covered over half an inch. After the young plants have grown about 
two inches high they should be thinned out to about one foot apart. The 
African Marigolds and Celosia should be spaced about two feet apart and 
the Red Sunflowers and Cosmos three feet. Most of the young seed- 
lings may be transplanted if they are taken out. carefully in order to 
avoid breaking the little rootlets; the Poppies however, will not stand 
transplanting, therefore the seed should be well scattered so that they 
will not come up too thick.
