Calendula Campfire 

Calendula is hard to kill. 
If seeds on ground you chance to spill, 
You’ll soon see plants a coming up 
That bloom in spite of frisky pup. 

Finding Room for Flowers 
Maybe you can find more room by spading 
up some of the neglected corners or waste 
places. Often a few feet along both sides of 
the lawn can be used—less grass and more 
flowers. As a rule, it is better to use such 
space, stolen from the lawn, along the sides 
or lot lines, rather than to have beds in the 
body of the lawn. However, this is a matter 
of personal preference and fitting the flower 
beds to the individual yard. 
Often flowers can be worked in around the 
shrubbery. Tulips and other fall bulbs are 
especially adapted to this handling. Planting 
in borders or in groups, according to room 
and arrangement of shrubbery, will produce 
pleasing effects. 
Then, again, drastic rruning of trees will 
help wonderfully in making two flowers bloom 
where but one bloomed before. Or,:» maybe 
none bloomed, because of too much shade. 

“Irritating the Garden” 
One summer evening a caller at a Boulder 
home asked the little girl who came to the 
door: “Is your father home?” ‘Yes,’ replied 
the little miss, ‘‘he’s in the back yard irritat- 
ing the garden.” Of course, the caller found 
this man sprinkling the garden with the hose. 
But the little girl may not have been so far 
off after all, in using the word irritating for 
irrigating. It is a fact that many gardeners 
do just about that—squirt just a little water 
on the garden and lawn which does little more 
than irritate the growing plants. 
Tiny plants do need just a little light sprin- 
kling at a time and often. But when plants are 
larger they want a good thorough soaking once 
in a while, then want to be left alone a few 
days, maybe a week. Is far better to give a 
good watering, then cultivate as soon as 
ground is dry enough, than to just keep irri- 
tating the garden with daily light sprinkling, 
which brings the feeding roots to the surface 
instead of keeping them at work lower down.
