And truth to tell, my garden bed doth something more reveal: 
Besides The Colors there's the Cause, which holds both woe and 
weal. 
Who loves must work, through drought and hurt, for Flag as well as 
flowers — 
Thank God that He who gives the stripes gives us the Stars and 
showers! Mrs. Ralph Walsh.

Suggestions for a Border 
This Border bloomed in Newport about July 12th. 
1st. Dark and Light Delphinium. 
2d. Madonna Lilies. 
3d. Pale Pink and White Canterbury Bells. 
4th. (Purple Veronica just coming.) 
5 th. White Pansies, seeded in early Spring. 
The other plants are Perennial and Biennial. 
Cut this all down about July 30th and fill in these Annuals from 
seed bed. 
1st. Dreer's Late Branching White Aster (1467 catalogue). 
Back of these Annual White and Purple Lupines. Between as you 
think proper, Lemon Queen Marigold. Zinnias, palest pink and 
yellow. 
By this time the second bloom of Delphiniums is up, and you have 
bloom till frost. 
A combination that is charming all summer. Plant on a slope 
if you have one. Copied by me from Windsor Castle Garden: 
Perennial Lavender. Fill all available space with Annual Helio- 
trope. Meta Thayer Graham,

A Letter from 
The Audubon Society 
An extremely important measure is now pending in the United 
States Congress, we urge that you give it your immediate support. 
The bill in question, known as Migratory Bird Treaty Act, has 
been introduced recently in the Senate by Senator Gilbert M. Hitch- 
cock of Nebraska and a similar bill was introduced in the House by 
Congressman Henry G. Flood of Virginia.
