lose its leaves, they retain their color

the color as stated, will be somewhat 
lighter in direct sun than in shade. 
HEIGHT: Pachysandra will maintain 
an even height of about six inches or 
not more than eight inches. 
DISEASE FREE: No fungus or 
other disease affects Pachysandra. 
INSECT PROOF: Insects will not 
attack the plant, nor will any animal

or in full sun. This unusual character¬ 
istic of the plant permits its use in

PLANT FOOD 
Chrysanthemums and other flowering 
plants are gross feeders, they all like a 
well drained, rich soil that has had an 
application of stable manure. While stable 
manure is becoming harder to get we have 
sought other sources of fertility. After 
trying a number of so-called commercial 
fertilizers we now use one known as 4-6-6 
V. C. formula. We use it freely on any 
type of plant and find it especially good 
for feeding chrysanthemums applying it 
between the rows in dry form weekly until 
the buds appear. It makes a healthy, green, 
thriving plant and puts color into the 
bloom. It is economical and does not 
burn the plants. We are aJble to furnish 
some of this fertilizer from our regular 
source. 10 lbs 40c—50 lbs. $1.75 — a bag 
100 lbs. $3.00 via freight or express collect.

OLD FASHIONED GARDENS 
VIOLA TRICOLOR 
We feel that we are entitled to call 
this our find as it is something different 
in a hardy violet. The plant spreads to an 
enormous size, the small leaves and run¬ 
ning habit cause it to spread over the 
ground. We have had a single plant 
carry more than a hundred flowers at 
one time during August and September, 
which means that it withstands the hot 
weather, which is unusual among Violas. 
It is of the old-fashioned Johnny-Jump- 
Up type, the flowers resembling the 
Bird-foot violet, except not so large. 
The two upper petals being a velvety 
purplish-maroon, the lower petals being 
violet-mauve with a golden center or 
eye. At this writing in early February 
we have blooms on plants taken into the 
greenhouse and everyone seeing them is 
delighted with the color and habit of 
growth.
