When convenience is our first thought, the imitation 
candle makes the use of many an old lighting instrument 
possible, retaining the beautiful clear-cut shades and globes 
as used on the old lamps for the protection of the flame.

mer a fresh growth starts up in the early 
fall, from the underground stems. Violets 
should he re-set about every second year 
to keep the roots from becoming too mat¬ 
ted, and also to renew the soil. 
The various kinds of narcissus furnish 
excellent cut Dowers for winter and early 
spring, though they are often shy bloom¬ 
ers. The more common of these are the 
Chinese sacred lily, poets' narcissus, trum¬ 
pet narcissus, paper white narcissus, com¬ 
mon daffodils, and jonquils, though sev¬ 
eral others of the group do equally well. 
September and October are also good 
months to set out such other bulbous plants 
as the star of Bethlehem, Roman hyacinths, 
the several varieties of oxalis, and the Asi¬ 
atic ranunculus. The latter furnishes an 
abundance of bright-colored, daisy-like 
flowers in the spring, being considerably 
grown in the Salt River Valley. Irises 
represent another group of valuable spring- 
bloomers. The German iris is planted 
more than any other, and always with good 
results. A clump of these plants is a fea¬ 
ture in any spring landscape. Though re¬ 
markably tolerant to arid conditions the 
German iris does best in deep soil with an 
abundance of moisture. A som.ewhat sim¬ 
ilar though less showy plant, is the sweet 
Hag iris ( Iris pscudacorus), quite common 
about Phoenix. The little Spanish iris 
(Iris xiphium) also does well here. Bulb¬ 
ous species like the above, and perennials 
in general need little attention when once 
established, but continue dowering in sea¬ 
son year after year. 
Carnations, verbenas, and periwinkle 
or trailing myrtle, likewise are best plant¬ 
ed in the early fall. Carnations in par¬ 
ticular, should be given a moderately well 
enriched, sandy loam. These and verbenas 
are nearly continuous bloomers with us, 
while the varieties of periwinkle are ever¬ 
green trailers, with blue, bell-shaped 
dowers appearing in the spring. Peri¬ 
winkle is a general purpose plant, grow¬ 
ing almost wherever planted, and thriving 
in both poor and rich soil, and in shade 
and sunlight. 
On account of heat and aridity, only 
the hardiest garden plants will grow 
through the summer season with any de¬ 
gree of success, and even these require fre¬ 
quent or moderate irrigation. Of the an¬ 
nuals the following have been found to be 
the most successful: zinnias, globe ama¬ 
ranth ; prince’s feather; cockscomb; hya¬ 
cinth and scarlet runner beans; golden 
feather; summer chrysanthemums; cos¬ 
mos : China asters; four-o’clock or marvel 
of Peru ; castor beans ; garden stindower ; 
balsam apple ( Momordica ) ; cypress vine; 
and the various morning glories, including 
scarlet, blue and purple dowered varieties, 
also Japanese morning glory and the moon 
dower. The seeds of the above should be 
sown by the middle of April, and prefer¬ 
ably two weeks earlier, in order to give the 
young plants a good start before the be¬ 
ginning of the hot weather. 
Of the above, China asters and cosmos
