Starting a Garden of Wild 
Flowers 
I am glad people are beginning to ap¬ 
preciate the beauty and desirability of 
our native plants and this very Autumn 
is the best time we will ever have to 
make our wild flower bed or garden. 
Most of our best native plants need a 
shady spot, the north side of a building, 
fence or shrubbery. Heavy soil will not 
do for many things, and if a generous 
supply of woods dirt can be put in the 
bed, that is best of all. Lacking this 
add a layer of sand, leaf mold, and a 
little very fine and very well decayed 
manure. 
Many of our wild flowers are Spring 
blooming bulbs or tubers, the star flower 
or wild , cucumber (plant not vine), 
Soring beauty, dog-tooth violet or ad¬ 
der's tongue. ,Tack-in-the-pulpit are all 
examples, and if one knows their place 
should be planted in the Fall. Violets, 
Hepatica, wild Canada columbine, native 
lilies, wild Iris, are all accommodating 
plants, easily moved. 
My friends, to whom I have sent seeds, 
find the evening primrose (a wild Oeno¬ 
thera) and wild Virginia Clematis easily 
raised from seed and I have raised Jack- 
in-the-pulpit seedlings. We have been 
delighted with a hybrid evening primrose 
that the bees crossed with my garden 
ones. 
Blood-root to me is the purest flower 
that grows, and three of my friends al¬ 
ready have nice growths in their gar¬ 
dens. It does not grow in our vicinity, 
but I have the promise of a plant. One 
friend writes she always feels “like say¬ 
ing a prayer” every time she looks at. her 
blood-root blossoms. 
The. pitcher plant is rare and curious, 
and the blossom a rich dark red with a 
fragrance unlike any other flower. If 
one has a boggy, swampy place, it is 
easily transplanted by taking up a big 
block of soil. 
Another attractive, easily grown wild- 
ling is the lady’s-slipper or moccasin 
flower, and another most beautiful or¬ 
chid is the pink and white ragged- 
frin<*ed orchid. 
One correspondent says she does not 
know if the wild honeysuckle, pinxter 
flower or swamp pink, can be trans¬ 
planted. This is one of the easiest 
shrubs to plant, either Spring or Fall, if 
one is careful to get as much soil as pos¬ 
sible with the roots. We only have the 
pink-flowered variety here. I had a white 
one sent me in mid-Summer, and al¬ 
though I kept it covered with wet sacks 
a long time it finally died, much to my 
regret. 
Nurserymen appreciate and offer the 
choke cherry, and a well-grown specimen 
is certainly well worth possessing, as it 
is beautiful when white with bloom or 
droo'iing under its load of garnet fruit. 
Two other native shrubs we are growing 
are the green osier, and a shrub I think 
is commonly known here as Northern 
holly. The first is attractive with its 
green striped bark and distinctive foliage, 
but doubly beautiful when laden with its 
large flat heads of creamy bloom or pur¬ 
ple berries. The Northern holly is now 
bending under its load of red berries 
which it will carry all Winter either in¬ 
doors or out. 
Our attractive native trees would form 
another chapter but I speak of the beauty 
and fragrance of the honey locust and 
the foliage and berries of the mountain 
ash. MOTHER BEE. 
Midsummer Cut Flowers 
We wish to keep cut flowers in vases 
in the cemetery lot during the season. 
Will you give us a list to be used between 
the lemon lilies and Dahlias and asters? 
Bridgton, Me. f. c. c. 
The flowers desired are for cutting in 
July and August, and the following are 
deserving perennials for this season: 
Achillea Ptarmica the Pearl, white; An- 
themis tiuctoria, yellow marguerite. Shas¬ 
ta daisy, larkspurs, Gaillardia or blanket 
flower. Scabiosa caucasica, Phlox, Miss 
Lingard and other varieties. Coreopsis 
lanceolata, Gypsophila paniculata, baby’s 
breath, and Oswego tea, Monarda didyma. 
Among useful annuals for cutting are an¬ 
nual larkspurs, snapdragons, Calendula 
or pot marigold, African marigolds. Zin¬ 
nias, which will be blooming in August 
if started early. Lilium speciosum, if 
well established roots, should also be in 
bloom, and several varieties of Funkia or 
day lily. The butterfly bush, Buddleia, 
will supply fine spikes for cutting. 
Soil for House Plants 
I have seen a formula for mixing 
earth for house plants but have lost it. 
Will you send me a formula containing 
proper elements for house plants for win¬ 
dow boxes and pots for Winter growth? 
Holden, Mass. mbs. e. i. 
Plants differ in their individual re¬ 
quirements. but a standard potting soil, 
suitable for a great variety of plants 
consists of equal parts rotted sodsj, old 
leaf mold, well decayed cow manure and 
clean sharp sand. Do not use chip dirt, 
fragments of old stumps, etc. Mix the 
soil well, and put drainage material, 
such as broken crocks in the bottom of 
all pots.
