The Proper 
Private School 
for your children is perhaps 
the most important choice 
you have to make. \ ou need 
the best guide in existence, 
and that undoubtedly you 
will find every month in the 
Educational Directory 
of 
Harper’s Magazine 
for it is in Harper’s Mag¬ 
azine that you find the 
announcements of more 
private and preparatory 
schools and colleges than in 
any other publication — the 
widest, the best, and the 
most dependable selection. 
Would you not like to have your own 
child go to school with children whose 
parents read Harper’s Magazine? 
Heliotrope. — These have been popular 
for a great many years, both on account 
of their beauty and their sweet fragrance. 
They should not be set out until settled 
weather, as they are more tender than 
geraniums and most of the other bedding 
plants. Severe check will cause them to 
drop their leaves. In good, rich ground 
they make a rank growth and should be 
given plenty of room. Being of shrubby 
growth, they may be trained to any de¬ 
sired shape or height. 
Salvias (Scarlet Sage). — These are 
without a rival wherever a dazzling mass 
of red is wanted throughout the season. 
There are several good varieties which 
vary considerably in height. Select a sort 
suited to the place in which you wish to 
use it. These are one of the tenderest of 
all the bedding plants. Do not set them 
out while the weather is still cold. 
Asters. — Where a flower is wanted both 
for cutting and bedding and in a wide 
range of colors, nothing surpasses these 
universal favorites. The wonderful newer 
sorts might well be termed “the poor man’s 
chrysanthemums.” For a continuity of 
bloom select early, mid-season and late 
varieties. 
Verbenas. — Brilliant red, whites and 
blues and intermediate shades. Unexcelled 
for low spreading masses of either brilliant 
or soft colors. They remain in full bloom 
until the last thing in the fall. 
Coleus. — Variegated foliage in red and 
yellow hues. Very good for borders, par¬ 
ticularly where a full exposure to a hot 
sun must be given. 
Petunias. — These are of semi-climbing 
habit and are very good for masses over 
stones, low walls, wire fences, and so 
forth. The single-flowered varieties par¬ 
ticularly are very profuse bloomers. 
Among the named double sorts there are 
some exquisite and very beautiful flowers. 
A healthy, rank grower, when once es¬ 
tablished. Very useful also in baskets and 
veranda boxes. 
Alyssum. — A universal, favorite white 
edging plant. There is a new lilac-colored 
variety. 
Ageratum. —Another good border plant 
universally used — in blue and white. More 
sturdy and upright in growth than the 
alyssum and therefore more desirable for 
some situations. 
Alternanthera. — Low-growing, shrubby 
little plants, making very deep and dis¬ 
tinctive borders. Variegated foliage. 
Vinca. — Trailing vine, especially good 
for vases and baskets. 
What kind of vacation home do you 
want? And where—on the seashore, in 
the country or in the mountains? The 
June House and Garden will help you 
decide.
