cartridge paper, which sells for 20 cents
a roll: This will give you the effect
of color and design you desire, and
yet will be much less difficult to put in
place properly, and less expensive
than the fabric would be.
A heavy quality of blue denim, Of a
shade to harmonic, would look we'll
as a floor covering, and give excellent
service in bedroom. This should be
stitched together in Tapped seams, and
used over heavy wadded lining
paper, such as the carpet department
supply. When lightly stretched and
firmly tackled, this makes an effective

Cover your box window seat also in
plain colored denim, matching the
lighter shade of this cartridge paper
for it. Use a tapestry paper on your
sitting room walls-a mingling of soft
greens and browns, with suggestions
of crimson flowers. Such papers are
easily found and sell from 40 cents a
roll. A Wilton rug Of Bokhara pat
tern, in crimson, with creamy figures,
would look we'll. Some cushions and

enricher. Again harrow or rake, and
roll down firmly
Il used a small steel rake for the
work, and a lawn roller, which, with
the assistance of boy, | was able to
pull over my small yard. With the COM
ing up Of the seeds, the fight began
with the weeds, but in a comparatively
short time-which was entirely given
over to the care of the lawn-it began
to show the desired smoothness.
AS [ had never in my life had
enough pansieS, | determined to fill
the centerS Of my two beds with them.
Many Of the plants | had grown
in boxes from seeds. These
set in the middle of the oval bed,
planting rows of seed between. If
these seed are planted in March, they
will flower beautifully during the sum-
mer. The soil for pansies must be
fresh and enriched by fertilizer and
leaf mold
"A border of candy tuft and lobe1ia
completed the color scheme Of these
beds. The delicate, lace-like flower
of the candy tuft was picked out here
and there by the vivid blue of the
lobelia blossom, their mingled foliage
giving a good border. They grew and
Hourished finely. I had some trans
planting to do in order to have the
darkest and dullest pansies in the CEN
ter of the bed, which was a slightly
raised mound. | tried to make the
lighter shades graduate toward the
border"
In some parts of the country these
two border plants bloom at different
seasons, but where this woman lived
they were in blossom most of the
summer. Even when they are not in
flower, the combined foliage effect is
very good.
Pansies and Ferns.
The rich color of the clusters of the
Crimson Rambler roses seemed to be
repeated and deepened in the. velvet
hearts of many of the pansies in the
flower beds, and close against the
house grew beautiful collection of
ferns. This was well-shaded place.
and, except for a liberal sprinkling
with water in the early morning and
late evening, it needed little attention.
These ferns were the strong growing
Blechnum Braziliense, the Magnifca.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-04-10

with beautiful crested fronds; the
Well-knOWn Tremula, the Cretica Albo-
Lineata, which gave a variegated ef-
feet. All Of these she had bought, well
started, from the florist for Is cents
apiece. They grew rapidly, a northern
or partially northern exposure being
the first essential to their success.
Each season long since | have been
working among my flowers has helped
me to a clearer knowledge Of their
individual needs" another woman said
when talking Of her success as a gar
dener. In my little greenhouse OF
home construction, | have under the
benches rows of boxes holding the
fertilizer, or medicine, as | call it, best
suited to each plant. One box of cher
i5hed SCOT is for my roses. In an
other | have sand for the carnations.
Leaf mold is for the vio1ets chiefly,
and an unpleasant looking heap of
dried grass cuttings and fertilizer at
the back Of the building is the mulch
which 1t IS so necessary to spade into
the ground about the roots of plants,
particularly roses, when the season is
a dry one"
1t is now possible to buy barrels
OF properly prepared and mixed soil
from the large seed houses. This soil
IS often of the greatest benefit in be-
ginning a garden.
A thorough study Of the qualities Of
the soil and of what can be added in
the way Of fertilizer, sand or loam
in order to improve it, is of the utmost
Importance in successful gardening.
In growing roses, healthy plants or
cuttings must be selected. Choose a
sheltered but sunny spot and avoid
the proximity of large trees whose
foliage and spreading roots absorb all
the nourishment from the soil In the
use of commercial fertilizers care must
be taken not to apply them too freely
as they can do much harm when Sc
employed. Only fertilizers free from
acids should be used.
When insects attack roses, a thor
ough spraying with the following
emulsion will be found effectual. Take
two parts of kerosene and one OF
slightly soured milk. Shake them well
together until white jelly is formed
dilute with twenty parts of soft water
and use with hand spray or sprinkler

move all OF the flower buds. This
makes one realize that indiscriminate
pruning is dangerous"
Experience the Only Teacher.
1t is true that no set rule can be
given for pruning. The amateur gar
dener must learn by experience and
observation, and knowledge comes
quickly if she keeps her eyes open. A
good writer upon gardening gives this
terse advice to the novice: Unless,
as he stands before his shrub or tree
with knife in hand, he knows why he
IS to prune, and how, let him put his
knife IN his pocket and give the plant
the benefit of the doubt"
The same authority continues: "The
term pruning is generally applied to
the cutting away, in whole or in part,
Of the ripened wood, but much prun-
ing may be done by the use of the
thumb and finger. This is termed
pinching, and is practiced upon young
shoots at the growing season, while
they are yet soft, and this allows us
to control the form of the plant with
the greatest ease"
Chrysanthemums, geraniums and
plants Of that character, if left to
themselves, and not pinched or cut
back judiciously, will grow tall and
struggling, and lack strength as well
as beauty. In SO treating the plants,
the tops OF the strongest shoots should
be selected for execution.
But to return to the woman's gar
den. She found her greatest trial the
lawn. After the weeds had been re-
moved, there were many bare patches,
particularly in the middle Of each
grass plot.
"That was what decided for me the
question Of where to place my flower
BEDS" she said. 81 consulted the au-
thority which had been all through
my guide, philosopher and friend, and
this was the helpful advice furnished:
Lawns that have been worn out by
neglect or other causes, and where it
is not convenient to renew them by
Ploughlng UP, will be greatly benefited
by running light harrow over them
if the surface is large, or by a sharp
steel rake for smaller areas. After
stirring the surface by such means
iudlclOuSly, SO as not to injure the
roots, lawn grass seed should be sown
over the surface, using about half the
quantity of seed required for new
lawns. and over this some good lawn
