THE FLORAL IVORLD

A STATIONARY BASKET OF FLOWERS. 



The bulb bed being nicely rounded in 

 the center is just the thing to convert 

 into a perennial basket of flowers. If 

 it is of large proportion, use two gas 

 pipes for the handle. Thrust them 

 down firmly eight inches apart on op- 

 posite sides of the bed, wiring together 

 in the center to add firmness, and sus- 

 pend a pretty hanging basket from 

 this point. Train tall-growing nastur- 

 tiums to cover and gracefully festoon 

 this handle, and plant dwarf mixed 

 kinds between the bulbs, bordering 

 with sweet alyssum. Mixed petunias 

 or other annuals may be substituted, 

 using whatever vine is preferred over 

 the handle. Convolvulus, Maurandies, 

 Maderia or some neat growing peren- 

 nial kind, as Akebia Quinati or Am- 

 pelopsis Veitchii and English ivy 

 where these are hardy, but perennials 

 must not be planted among the bulbs, 

 nor plants requiring to be lifted in the 

 fall. We like to vary the planting each 

 year, but the alyssum seems always 

 our prettiest border. 



Indiana. Mrs. Sarah A. Pleas. 



PREPARE FOR DROUTH. 



Did your canned fruit freeze during 

 that cold weather? Let me tell you 

 how serviceable those bottomless glass 

 jars can be made among your flowers. 

 I have a number that I have been 

 using for years. 



When I set any choice plant in the 

 open ground, I fit one of these broken 

 jars into the hole on the upper side. 

 When the earth is filled in around the 

 plant, only the top of the jar shows 

 above ground. I never remove the top 

 of the jar except when the plant needs 

 water. Then I fill the jar and carefully 

 replace the top. This is the best plan 

 I have ever tried for watering roses 

 planted in the spring. In the autumn, 

 when they have become established, 

 the jars may be pulled up after a rain, 

 and the holes filled with earth.
