Everything is described as being
desirable and showy, and they
cannot g, really - determine =. what to
get, and what not to. get. That
was my experience when lacommenced
growing flowers. I have since learned
what kinds succeed best in acomrnon
garden, and are most satisfactory. It I
were to select dozen varieties, I would
choose, first of all, petunias, for this
reason they commence to bloom when
very small, and continue to bloom until
frost kills themy thus giving q constant
succession of flowers. As the plant
grows, the blooms increase in number,
and q common. sized plant will cover a
place three feet square, and show as
many as two hundred blossoms at once.
They are of all shades of red and purple,
and when mixed with white, have daz
zling effect. Next I would choose phlox.
This commences to bloom quite early,
and like petunia, has large clusters Of
flowers, and more Of them as the plant
grows from the time they commence to

BAKNa.-Baking is a more economi'
cal mode Of cooking than roasting, es'
pecially in small families where economi
cal stoves, or ranges with side ovens,
are used. In baking there is less loss
of weight than in roasting, as the first il
much less dried; then again it requires
far less attention in the process.
