BUNGALOW OR MID-SUMMER GARDENING 247 



Morning Glory. Various. A splendid climber for screening, covering 

 trellises, etc. 



Nasturtium. Yellow, orange and red in various shades and combinations. 

 Phlox. White, pink, red. 



Portulaca. White, through yellow and pink to purplish. Good for 

 sandy soils. 



Ten Weeks Stock. White, through rose to crimson and purple. 



In June and July plantings sow seed somewhat deeper than in 

 earlier planting so that the roots will be down in the cooler, moister, 

 layer of soil, unless the plants can be kept watered whenever necessary. 

 A little nitrate of soda dissolved in water at the rate of an ounce to a 

 gallon will hasten the development of both vegetables and flowers ahke. 

 To keep the plants blooming, pick the flowers as soon as they appear, 

 unless, of course the planting has been made for its mass effect out- 

 doors. 



The edging is Dwarf Ageratum; middle row, Mme. SaHeroi Geraniums; third 

 row. Zonal Geraniums. These, with the vines and the Geraniums in tubs 

 impart an air of refinement and comfort to the house fronts
