tions change the pattern of the garden from 
year to year. Since this seed can be scattered 
in the fall it saves time for the gardener when 
there are so many spring chores to do and very 
often these are up long before the gardener 
would have had time to plant them in the 
spring. Some I have found satisfactory are: 
Cleome, Larkspur, Cornflower, Balsam, Love-in- 
a-Mist, Salvia, Green Bells of Ireland, Celosia, 
Petunia (plain), Calendula, French Marigold, 
annual Phlox. — 
Biennials are plants that make a growth the 
first year but seldom bloom before the second 
year, and live only two years. Foxglove and 
Canterbury Bells are two good examples of 
this type plant. 
Perennials are plants that live year after 
year if given the proper care. Can be grown 
from seed, multiplied by root division, and 
Fee by cuttings rooted in sand or vermicu- 
ite. 
No flower can be better than the seed pro- 
ducing it. Always purchase the best seed avail- 
able so your work will not be wasted. 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Early Annual Chrysanthemum. 
CLEOME (Rocky Mountain Bee Plant or Spider Pllant). 
(3 feet.) Spikes of rose-pink flowers on long wiry stamens 
resembling the spider. Hardy, and excellent for tall borders, 
since they reach a height of 3 to 4 feet. Pkt., 10c. 
COCKSCOMB A-1 
A great deal of confusion could be avoided 
by everyone learning the botanical name of the 
plants they are interested in. The common 
name varies so in different locations. The 
first time you use the botanical name you may 
feel as though dynamite had exploded in your 
head, but you soon wonder why you ever used 
any other. 
A good deal of work can be saved by plan- 
ning on paper what you want to plant, and 
where you want to plant it. In planning the 
flower border, use plenty of blues, whites and 
pale yellows to separate the pinks, lavenders 
and oranges. For instance, blue between pink 
and orange will separate the two clashing col- 
ors and at the same time be complimentary to 
both. Since there is a scarcity of blues, you 
may find it necessary to use the same variety 
several times. ,White flowers are more plenti: 
ful, white shows up well. by moon or artificial 
light, therefore are especially desirable around 
doorways. Pale yellow planted next to orange 
will blend with several colors that would clash 
with the orange. But nature uses all colors 
together, and she is considered the greatest
