SAVE THE SPRING HOUSE PLANTS.
Copyright, 1907, by ]. w. Muller

LEW are the households that are barren

and even these few have bulbs or plants
or both at Easter time. These are cherished
and cared for until the outdoor life is so
attractive that they forgotten or thrown
into the ash barrel. This is sad and
wasteful as we'll.
Bulbs when done blooming should have
the bloom stalks picked off in order to
throw all the root strength into storing
away in the bulb the growth for next year
Then bulbs can be taken out of the pots
and planted along the fence, in the path
border or about the house.
The leaves soon turn yellow dry up and
fall. The bulb natures and goes to sleep.
In the spring, you will find crocus dat-
fodtll or hyacinth showing above ground
while the air is still chilly and snow is still
upon the earth, and spring in your yard is
weeks ahead of the ne!ghbors who have
no balbs in the ground.
Each year these floral onions increase
by means of baby bulbs that are formed
around the original, thus forming beds or
borders at trihing expense and giving great
satisfaction.

A Rainbow Garden.

BY Agnes McClelland Daulton.
In the garden where the sun beat all
day long, was an unused space, six by ten
feet. 1t was grassless, having been used
that spring as a lettuce and onion bed.
We had neither time nor money to spend
upon IT, and yet we determined that next
year it should be our flower garden. So,
every time we visited any friend who had
a garden, a few seeds were gathered, of
all sorts and colors. Some were sent us.
Some left over from last year were also
utilzed-in fact, all was grist that came
to our mill.
These mixed seeds were simply thrown
higglety-pigglety upon our future flower
garden. They lay there all fall and win

lightly raked over, and / wish you might

THE BACK FENCE.

Most suburban gardeners have the prob
tifying this blank space are many, but the
most artistic and econoimal treatment may
be found in the use Of weeds For a
background use Joe-pye weed. Its stout
stems will grow from two to twelve feet
high. 1t blooms in August, and its color,
dull pink set in the sage green of its
leaves, is delight. In front Of this should
be planted white snake root, which is of
somewhat lower growth than the Joe-pye
and the contrast of its white clusters
against the pink of the taller weed will
be found decidedly effective. 1t does not
spread rapidly, and, Of course, takes no
care, while it is far more beautiful in
foliage and bloom than its relative, the
ageratum.
Wild asters also make a beautiful screen
for the back fence They grow from eight
inches to seven feet in height. They are
all shades of purple, from the royal of
the spreading aster to the pale violet of
planted the little heather-like aster, with
it's flowers like wee daisies. These wild
asters require care after planting are
insect proof and beautiful beyond COM
pare
If you wish to give. your back fence the
wonderful artistic touch of nature, add a
few stocks of golden Grod-the gold for
your Tyrian purple-and the result is
