SCOUTING FOR GIRLS 
by one’s own exertion and care confers true dignity 
upon one and a sense of worth. To eat what one has 
raised oneself adds a flavor to it. 
From the garden as a center paths lead out in every 
direction, paths for thought and study. 
My wish for every Girl Scout who undertakes a gar- 
den is that she may have all these satisfactions, and 
may follow all these delightful paths that lead to 
knowledge, and through knowledge to joy. 
Suggested Flowers for Border 
Biennials such as Canterbury Bells, Foxgloves and 
Sweet William should be seeded early in the spring in a 
reserve bed to be ready for the season’s bloom. In order 
to secure a succession of bloom they should be taken 
out after flowering and replaced with annuals. 
Annuals — Of these some of the most satisfactory are 
Asters, Calendula, Lupin, Petunias, Rosy Morn, Snap- 
dragon, Stock and Rose Zinnias. 
Take out any plants that are not the right colors. 
Brown earth is better than purple annual Larkspur, ma- 
genta Petunias, orange Calendulas or red Zinnias. Keep 
the color scheme ranging from true blues through rose 
and salmon pinks, lavenders and deep blue purples and 
white yellows. If you want brilliant reds or magentas 
have them in a bed apart. 
Bulbs — Tulips, such as Murillo, or early varieties (La 
Reine, Pink Beauty, President Lincoln, Proserpine, 
Queen of the Netherlands and Rose Luisante), or late 
varieties (La Merveille, La Reve, Moonlight, The Fawn) 
and Mertensiav Virginica can be planted along the bor- 
ders of the flower bed. 
Darwin Tulips, such as Clara Butt, Dream, Gretchen, 
La Tristesse, La Tulipe Noire, Mrs. Potter Palmer, 
Philippe de Commines, Psyche, Rev. Ewbank, Suzon, 
should be planted in more shaded places.
