SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MONTH 
{Continued from page 32.) 
THE GARDEN 
by repeated cultivation. If the blooms 
are kept picked off daily, they will bloom 
abundantly for many weeks. Certainly 
they are the prettiest and most satisfac¬ 
tory flowers one can have in the early 
spring. They thrive everywhere and 
bloom profusely. No flowers are easier 
of cultivation. There are any number 
of shades of color, and in ordering seed 
it is well to have in mind the blending of 
colors to get the best effects in the garden 
while blooming. The florist can fur¬ 
nish you white shades, cream or light 
yellow, light pink, claret and maroon, 
lavender and light blue, blue and purple, 
pink and white, reds and scarlets, deep 
pink and rose shades. If you will indi¬ 
cate to the florist from whom you order 
what you desire to do in the way of 
space to be occupied and its surround¬ 
ings, he can help you in combining 
effects in colors, and the amount of seed 
necessary. 
These suggestions are applicable to all 
sections of the country, being modified 
only by climatic conditions as to time 
of planting. In colder climates the seed 
can be planted later—as late as April in 
very cold climates with good results. 
Sweet peas will not do well in any climate, 
out-door culture, if planting is deferred 
until hot weather sets in.

to the occupants of such rooms, and of 
those people whose business it was to 
keep them in order. Those people who 
are not connected with the building 
trade will understand and appreciate 
the advantages of the new^ treatment. 
But also in our long and tiresome 
march to progress and perfection, the 
time has come when experiments have 
been crowned with success, for as we 
have convinced ourselves, the long de¬ 
sired tones and also a good substitute 
for a wax finish have been discovered. 
No longer need the oil pot or water pail 
be carefully kept out of the way of the 
woodwork, or the shades be pulled 
down in order to preserve the color from 
fading. 
The stains, which are of great variety
