Did your flowers fail to 
make connections? 
“. . . 1 don't know why it was, but 
with all that planting we had no flowers 
during the first two weeks of July. That's 
my worst trouble, but it isn't the only 
one. The shrubs are too high; there isn’t 
enough colour-range in the formal beds; 
and I positively hate our Carolina pop¬ 
lars because everybody else has them. 
Cant you reform us this autumn so that 
we can start next spring with the certainty 
of being happy? And — could you plan a 
lily pool that our own gardener could 
make? He’s quite a handy man, really. 
AND she was a handy correspondent, for 
f\ she sent a sketch with all the points of 
the compass marked and the ground- 
slope indicated. 
Then we reached for our favorite thinking 
cap, and we put in phlox in fifty-seven vari¬ 
eties, pricked out with the hot colour of 
Lilium superbum, and banked with sharp 
spears of gladiolus. We gave her the Oriental 
plane tree for shade, and the European linden 
for that one spot where perfection of form 
would mean everything to the garden. Last 
of all we built the lily pool anl told her just 
what roots to get and how many, so that there 
should be enough clear water left to mirror 
all the clouds and half the tea-table. 
Your problem may be a refractory room that 
just won’t come sunshiny no matter how you 
do over the walls — or where to get a new 
lighting fixture for the hall — -or how to dis¬ 
guise the living room radiator. Whatever it 
is, the Information Service stands ready to 
give you advice. We don’t know quite every¬ 
thing — but—we like to try!
