THE FLORAL A

Spice or Glove pinks deserve a place
in the garden for their sweet perfume
alone. Her Majesty is a fine, fragrant
pink as white as snow and every bloom
as large around as a silver dollar.
Lily of the Valley grows from pipe or
dubious roots. AS they increase rapid.
1y, secure a small bunch Of bulbs of a
scotsman or neighbor and in two or
three years a fine bed may be obtained.
Among geraniums Leonard Kelway
and S. A. Mutt are preferred for ex-
tensive planting in parks and gardens.
Both are brilliant red, outblooming
almost every other geranium. They
are dwarf and compact. with very
healthy, rich green foliage.
The Golden Clean begonia is a
novelty of the S~empervirens type, of
dwarf, compact habit. | is foliage is of
a golden yellow color, making it an
odd, interesting and beautiful p {
plant. When planted out in full u
the foliage on many of the plants will
color up into various shades, giving
the appearance of finely colored aut-
umn leaves.
The brugmansia is q very rapid
grower when cared for intelligently,
and even when cultivated in the win
dow garden it will soCn grow to four or
five feet in height. On a we'll branched
plant of this height it is no unusual
sight to see from fifty to a hundred
flowers when it is in full bloom and in
Vulnerable buds in all stages of devel-
opment.
Coleus do better in cold frames
made especially for such purposes as
getting quantities of young plants
ready for bedding. All of n stage of
growth can then be obtained by MAX
ing the best effect in borders and de-
signs. John Goode is probably a
more splendid yellow coleus than ,--e
popular Golden Bedder. V~erschaffel-
til. rich crimson, is still the best red
coleus for w~ithstanding the summer
sun and heat.
The very dry hot weather of last
summer cheated us out of some Gamma
and dahlia blooms but those we had
were fine and the clumps were in good
condition when dug in the fall. For a
green leaved red Powered variety the
Bowler or Defender can hardly be i'm
proved upon. Chicago is a fine yellow
lowered one but our hot Colorado sun
is apt to scorch the petals or rather
wilt them. These varieties grew over

The Ramblers, General Jaqueminot,
Glorie de Dion, Refine Marie Henriette,
Champion of World. Victor Verdier
and Persian Yellow are prominent ear
ly June roses. The old yellow Harrison
and Persian are grown alone for their
early Towering qualities and bright
yellow color. They are both ordinary
roses otherwise and are merely spring
Towering sorts. Strictly eve blooming
roses are among the Teas, Hybrid
Teas, Bourbons, ~Polyanthas and Nois'
cites. These are the varieties best
suited for a long season Of florescence
However, the Ramblers are too good
to reject. After Towering they make
the finest kind of green covering fol
arbors, bowers, arcades or any places

the Lord Penzance sweet briars.
The Gala when grown for winter
Towering should have complete rest
for several weeks during summer
About May Is plants should be turned
out of pots and planted in the garden
or the pot may be turned down on It's
side in a dry place and the plant allow
ed to die down after cutting off the
leaves. If planted in the garden the
plant will die down and start up late
in August, when it can be taken VI
and freshly potted in rich soil. If left
in the pot the dry bulbs should be
freshly potted about September l and
started in the new ground. In repot
ting break or remove all the small
bulbs or shoots, leaving n strong
central bulb to grow to flower. Do not
plant bulbs in too large a pot; one
from five to six inches in diameter IL
