a view, to act as a boundary in a cer¬ 
tain corner of the garden, and to produce 
a strong note of color. 
There are some other common plants 
that are always to be had wherever you 
are, and yet are effective with the ma¬ 
terials already mentioned. There is the 
bright bloom of the heliotrope as a bor¬ 
der plant and for combinations with alys- 
sum, for instance. Petunia seedlings may 
probably be bought from a neighbor or 
a local gardener and from the nursery¬ 
man. Neglect the ugly magenta shades. 
You will find that under the named va¬ 
rieties wonderful pinks, wonderful fluted 
blossoms that will make a fragrant bor¬ 
der in the summer. Asters, pansies, vio¬ 
las and salvia are other reinforcements 
to the later garden that may be had as 
plants, even as late as the first week or 
two of June. You will find that with 
these materials you can lay out a garden 
that will be almost as successful as 
though you had planted it all with seed 
and it came up blossom after blossom. 
One other suggestion is the Rochia, or 
summer cypress. You should be able to 
get plants ready to set out that will make 
a hedge within a few weeks. The plants 
grow into trim, oval bunches of delicate 
cosmos-like foliage of a deep green. This 
turns to a bright red by fall. Set plants 
about two feet apart. 
Probably the most successful enemies 
of bareness are vines. There are some 
very rapid-growing vines that will cover 
an ugly wall of the house or wind over 
a pergola or shade the porch if you plant 
seed. Here are some successful sorts: 
Cardinal climber will grow rapidly 
from seed, and climbs to twelve feet, 
while a single plant has a spread of about 
four feet. Its leaves grow close together 
and are attractive in their deep lobes. 
The flowers are like tiny morning glo¬ 
ries, except that they are a bright scarlet. 
You may purchase either seeds or plants. 
Scarlet Runner Bean.—This plant will 
give a thick covering of green leaves six 
weeks after seed planting. Its foliage is 
very much like the bean, and the fruit is 
similar to the ordinary bean, except that 
ff is of a brilliant scarlet color that con¬ 
trasts well with the light green of the 
leaves. 
Hyacinth bean is a similar plant, ex¬ 
cept that it has rather large, purplish 
flowers followed by purple pods. 
Balloon Vine. — For a light foliage 
plant to grow from seed there is the bal¬ 
loon vine. It has inconspicuous white 
flowers, but peculiar fruit clusters of tiny 
green that look like tiny balloons. It is 
very rapid grower. 
In addition, there are the morning glo¬ 
ries and moon flowers, which will grow 
quickly and are always pleasing.
