In Southern Gardens 
(Continued from page 56) 
there is room for a bolder color 
scheme, the yellows and oranges in 
these plants are very fine. 
The dwarf varieties of the helian- 
thus are also very effective and strik¬ 
ing where glowing masses are needed 
among the shrubbery or where a low 
screen is desired. They are apt to 
grow scraggly with age and must be 
uprooted relentlessly if the garden is 
to be as neat as it should be. Plant 
these also where they are to flower. 
For sunny situations, in boxes, on 
the porches and in the windows, in 
the borders or in the gardens, the pe¬ 
tunias should now be planted. They 
asparagus roots that they use in their 
planting. 
Perennials for spring and summer 
bloom should be put out as early in 
March as possible. Gaillardias, Shas¬ 
ta daisies, coreopsis lanceolata, holly¬ 
hocks and phlox will immediately 
adapt themselves to new surround¬ 
ings and quickly prove their worth. 
For continuous bloom of many 
months the gaillardias and coreopsis 
yield unstinted measure of glowing 
yellow, deep orange and flaming scar¬ 
let flowers that light up shrubbery 
masses and brighten the borders most 
attractively. 
Banksia roses, yellow or white, produce 
flowers in graceful drooping clusters. 
The scent of the white variety is not 
unlike that of violets 
are perennial and evergreen, but those 
that have gone over the winter are 
already in bloom and will be ex¬ 
hausted by the time the new plant¬ 
ings are ready to blossom. The sin¬ 
gle varieties should be used and while 
they bear transplanting it is better to 
put them where they are to bloom 
and then thin them out. This also 
applies to the cosmos and ageratum 
for fall borders. Alyssum for the 
four seasons, and Marvel of Peru 
and Ricinus for those who need and 
want them. 
The Best Vines 
Vines to cover the bare spots along 
the walls and fences need not wait 
another day. For the heavy trellis 
and thick growth the Dolichos, the 
hyacinth bean, the scarlet runner, and 
the Humulus japonica, the Japanese 
hop, will give excellent results. For 
more delicate effects the wild cucum¬ 
ber, Echinocystitis lobata, and the 
Cardinal Climber may be used. Noth¬ 
ing is lovelier than the Ipomaea jap¬ 
onica for the morning blossoms and 
Bona Nox and grandiflora for the 
sweet-scented evening bloom. The 
rose-colored Sctosa, the Brazilian 
morning glory, is a marvel of quick 
growth and brilliant flower. All of 
these should be started at once. 
Get the seed bed ready now for let¬ 
tuce, radish, tomato, pepper, egg 
plant, and other seed for the stock 
of the vegetable garden. Asparagus 
growers choose a dry time in March 
for the setting out of the one-year 
Shasta daisies do not extend over 
such a long season, but are most ef¬ 
fective when in flower. They require 
more room than the other plants 
named. 
Some Hardy Perennials 
Most satisfactory and lovely of all 
summer flowers are the hardy peren¬ 
nial phlox that are being improved 
in color and form from year to year. 
They are unquestionably the most 
beautiful of all Southern summer 
plantings and the earlier they are put 
out the better showing they will make. 
One hundred white phlox, twenty- 
five each of the tall, early Mrs. Jen¬ 
kins; tall, late Jeanne d’Arc ; medium 
Von Lassburg, and the dwarf Frau 
Anton Buchner will glorify any gar¬ 
den and make beauty and fragrance 
all summer long. 
Of the colors, Mme. Paul Dutrie, 
tall, and Elizabeth Campbell, medi¬ 
um, are exquisite shades of rose and 
salmon pink. Some of the newer in¬ 
troductions in these phloxes show 
wonderful coloring. There are rich, 
harmonious reds, mauve and violet 
shades that are deep as pansies in 
their velvety refinement, and laven¬ 
ders and pinks that are as delicate 
and dainty as orchids in their love¬ 
liness. 
These latter cost $20 for a hundred 
plants; the other perennials men¬ 
tioned can be purchased for from $8 
to $15 the hundred, while the average 
price of the seed named is 10 cents 
the packet.
