FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. 



(Concluded from page 13 ) 



the top. Over this I sifted fine soil 

 and pressed it smooth. After wetting 

 it I sowed the seed and covered ac- 

 cording to size of seed. In a few days 

 the stoclvs were up, and soon after, 

 the pinlis. In two weeks nearly all 

 the rest were up — primroses, petu- 

 nias, salpiglossis, pansies and dahlias. 

 When the nights were cold I heated 

 the bottoms of the flats on the top of 

 the high closet on the range. It was 

 March and the weather was cold, but 

 the little seedlings grew, and now the 

 dahlias are large and thrifty plants. 

 I transplanted them when they had 

 their second leaf. Now I have them 

 all in a cold frame in the southwest 

 corner of a south bay window, where 

 they get plenty of sunshine and air, 

 Minn. Mrs. W. J. Daugherty. 



UTILIZE YOUR SPACE. 



Persons of even limited yard space 

 should utilize every available spot for 

 raising flowers for the "flower mis- 

 sion," For instance along my grape 

 trellises I have planted columbine, 

 two between the vines and one on top 

 of each vine. As their roots do not 

 penetrate to any great distance, they 

 do no injury whatever. The space in 

 front can be filled in with marigolds, 

 sweet allyssum, forget-me-nots or any 

 other plants to suit the individual 

 taste, and for a margin plant parsley 

 or diist}^ miller. An angle formed by 

 a fence. I spaded and raked fine and 

 sowed with cosmos, which will look 

 pretty in the flower basket, as will 

 also the dahlias from the tall and' 

 stately plants along the fence. Bury a 

 bottomless can under each plant, into 

 which pour all the suds, and you will 

 be surprised at the myriad and mag- 

 nificence of the blooms. 



Pa. Mrs. Samuel B. Welsh.
