A Successful Combination 
Buddleia variabilis, Caryopteris mastacanthus and Anemone 
Japonica make a lovely color combination in lavendar, pale blue and 
white during August and September when color in the shrubbery 
border is scarce. They need a thick, deep background of the green 
of privet or spring-blooming shrubs.

Labor Saving Devices 
The Florists' Exchange asks all its readers to send for publication 
suggestions for labor-saving devices. It says: 
Many of our brethren of the craft — florists, seedsmen, nurserymen, 
market gardeners, greenhouse builders, fertilizer and pot manufac- 
turers and the alhed industries — are already in the trenches, or on 
their way. To those of us who stay behind there is left the clear and 
imperative duty to conserve Time, Energy and Material, so that 
the most effective results possible may come from our resources. 
To accompHsh this end. The Exchange asks every reader to 
look around in his establishment, or stir up his memory to see if he 
cannot describe some labor-saving device (either his own or one which 
he has observed) that would prove helpful to some other member of 
the craft. 
As amateur gardeners we must know many small tricks that will 
save time and trouble. Out of our experience must have come a 
practical mechanical detail or two that by saving work will give us a 
little more time for enjoyment. Send them to the Editor for publica- 
tion in the May Bulletin which goes to press April 12th.
