Inc coloring of autumn flowers Is sorS-
eous enough to make one feel that Ma
ture, in anticipation Of coming WiEtci'
had lav!shed all the rich tnts at her
command for the short time that sun
shine and brightness still lasted. Roses,
canllas, cnrysanthemuins, tube roses,
scarlet sage. foliage plants-an are now
at their fullest maturity and fulfil their
highest promise. There is CHE flower O.
the season, however. not so well known
as many others. which is perhaps tie
ualntiest and most graceful OF all-the
nastritium. Born IN Peru, 1t has, likc
other sun-colored blossoms, q heart Of
gold, Its velvet petals varying from YET
low to a deep ruby with the light inn
prlsoned in their depths. a pretty
legend concerning the nasturtium made
it tho favorite OF the amazons in days
long gone by, and in this connection. 1T
is noted that the flowers are helmet and
the leaves sh1ed-Shaped. The nastuc-
tium is admirably adapted for purposes
of decoration. Nothing is pretuer for
drawing rooms and halls than bowls or
vases of its flowers with a fringing and
shading OF their own delicate green
AS a center ornament for luncheon CT
dinner tables 1t is very appropriate TT
