Cam Kill Ems"


It is important for the beginner II
garden making to choose varieties Of
plants and vines that are not deli
cate.
1t is, to say the least, dishearten-
ing to get ones grounds in apple-pie
order, to dig and fertilize the sol! at
cost both Of time and money, to
build delightful plans for color and
succession Of bloom, only to have it
all come to naught because n was
not careful in the selection of plants
that do not require pampering.
Foolish, indeed, is it for the anna
teur to waste his time and energies
on uncertainties when there are so
many interesting varieties that are
absolutely sure to succeed even I'M
der the most unfavorable conditions.
A young woman whose garden is
renowned for the great variety,
quantity and beauty of its flowers
(she takes entire charge Of them
herself), when asked the secret OF
ueT SuCCeSS, Tepileu.
ooh. I always grow cant kill
ems"
What in the world are they?" I
asked.
She replied: "They, my ignorant
friend, are the things that make
nature do the work instead Of me.
In plain English, they r the plants
that will grow pretty much any
where, except in dense shade or un-
der trees; and some of them will
even grow there. ...
"You wish me to name some, OF
them, do you? Well, the real cant
kill ems are perennials. Among
the best are Coreopsis ~lanceolata,
Hemerocallis fulva (orange day lily),
perennial phlox Especially If the
color is bad). monarda or bergamot,
peonies, golden glow, funkia, sub
cordata or day lily, h~oneysuckle and
trumpet vine.
1.-THE following ANNALS will also
grow almost anywhere: Sweet alys-
sum, Calendula (pot marigold), Cen
taurea eyanus (cornflower), Convol-
vulus major (morning-glory), Esch-
scholtzia california poppy, Impa-
items (balsam), ladyslipper, mignon-
cite, Shirley poppy, portulacca, Ia
getes or the marigold (African and
FRENCH, Tropaeolum (nasturtium)
and zinnias.
Nov, don't you tell me after that
list you can not have a garden. II
you can't, it's just because you're a
hoodoo. For, really, those flowers
should do we'll under the worst con-
ditions." .....
WELL" the writer laughed, II
might be able to grow the flowers,
but 1 never could reel off all those
awful Names"
"Oh, yes, you can; it will only be
too easy to you after a while. In
deed, you'll have to be racking your
brains to remember the common
name, lest people think you are try
ing to show of. "-Indianapolis

failed at the time, but with the melt.

The Love Scene

Monday evening had been fixed
for the first rehearsal of the great
dramatic entertainment; and, as the
time came near, Lena discovered
that she was growing just a little
nervous.
Charles Mistley, as stage-manager,
had naturally spoken much of the
play, giving, in his good-natured,
lazy manner, tentative opinions, and
asking advice of Lena anil his broth
er upon sundry situations to be de-
picted. Of all had he fully treated,
excepting this one most trying scene
between herself and VINEYARD, and
this he appeared content to leave to
their discretion.
Ipstinctively she knew, however,

 4 HARD "TRIP

The delegates to the convention re- turned home this morning on the Jei- ierson. The trip to Juneau was made on the Hegg, and after taking three hours to start finally got away In dense fog. About the time that HaineS Mission was reached the machinery began baking aud the party was forced to drift for almost an hour. Things ran along fairly well until Sentinel island was reached, but the fog was then so thick that 1t was impossible to make any head8ay, and another stop had so that the run through the nar- rows could be made In the daylight. When the bar was reached at Douglas Island 1t was thought that 1t would be possible to cross and avoid going around the island. In this again Q diff fculty was experienced-the tide was so low that a passage could not be made, and 1t was necessary to go around the island. Finally things changed for the better and the Hegg got to Juneau-at noon, but even then 1t was agreed by the delegates that while lucky in get- ting there at all, the entire crowd was not ourdened with swasJika charms.
