a pit or some fence corner and rotting 
them; turning them over and break¬ 
ing up the lumps hastens decay. 
If the sand is left out of doors it had 
better be put in a box or the rains will 
wash it away. When sowing seed add 
about one-sixth each of sand and leaf 
mould to four-sixths rotted sod, sift the 
product through a fine sieve. Place 
some of the sods at the bottom of the 
seed box, the coarser parts on them and 
resift some very fine soil on top and press 
it down for a seed bed. For growing 
plants in pots you need not sift. 
FALL BLOOMING PERENNIALS 
Wbat perennials are there, worthy of 
garden culture, that bloom in September? 
I am working on a scheme of planting 
and would like the information. C. H. 
You have quite a number to select 
from, Rhexia Virginica, the meadow 
beauty, with its pretty spikes of white 
pink blossoms, thriving in an open 
situation, in good deep soil. 
The Culver's root, Veronica Virginica, 
while not as showy as some of the other 
speedwells may be grown with effect at 
the rear of a border where its numerous 
spikes of small white flowers, held some 
four or more feet from the ground, may 
be seen. 
One of the old-fashioned live-for-evers, 
Sedum spectahile is one of our finest 
autumn blooming plants, giving us 
broad, flat heads of small, but showy 
rosy flowers that remain in good condi¬ 
tion a long time. There is an improved 
variety now in the market in which the 
flowers are darker in color. 
For a low growing deep blue flower 
you can have the Chinese Plumbago 
Larpentce, which does best in a light soil 
in a sunny position. 
In sheltered positions and in light soil, 
Lilium speciosum, with its rosy white 
petals, crimson spotted, will thrive. 
For a semi-shady position, Funkia 
grandiflora, or F. subcordata make a 
rounded dome-like plant with handsome 
broad leaves. It requires some years’ 
growth to show its true character. The 
flowers are white and thrown well up 
above the foliage.
