PLANTS For THE vERANDA.

With the usual perverseness of
human nature, it is the woman on
the shady side Of the street who usu-
ally wants Towering plants for her
veranda, and it is her neighbor on
the sunny side who admires, above
all things, a variety Of palms and
ferns. Because a house is generally
on the shady or the sunny side Of
the street veranda is a difficult
place to decorate with plants; but,
with planning, each can be fitted
with those best suited to its situa-
ton. Jardinieres for posts, filled
with palms and ferns; trailing vines
from hanging baskets, running
vines up the supports and across
the woodwork and box for the
edge filled with fuchsias, geraniums,
heliotropes, a few petunias and a
fern or two are all suitable for the
shady yeranda. For the vines that
will thrive best there there are the
yariegated vinca, English and Ger
man iyies and Asparagus plrlmosus.
Anything but palms and ferns
will grow on the sunny veranda.
Rubber plants, which, like well dis
.ciplined people, accommodate them
selves Il circumstances, will grow
in either place

GERAN1UM FLAyoR1NG.

Among the old fashioned flower
ing plants the rose geranium has al
ways occupied a prominent place in
popular favor.
Our grandmothers and perhaps
some Of their grandmothers have
been known to strew the fragrant
leaves among their lingerie, but few
know of the culinary value Of the
humble plant.
The next time y u are making
crab apple jelly try this recipe with
a few glasses:
Have the geranium leaves washed
to free them from any possible par
asites. Then, just before pouring
the hot jelly into the glasses, throw
a small leaf into the bottom of each
glass.
It may be allowed to remain until
the jelly is used and will not spoil
it in any way. The result is an inde-
scribable flavor, which improves the
Jelly immensely.
Sometimes when baking a cake
line an earthen plate with the ge-
ranium leaves and turn the hot
cake upon them, leaving it there
until quite cold.
The steam absorbs the fragrance
from the leaves, giving the cake the
daintiest possible favor, that sug-
gests nothing so much as the odor
of La France rose. What to Eat.
