OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

the space that we do between even the common garden flowers. Perhaps your garden Is a potpourri either of color or of kind. This is fatal to an artistic effect. Color, particularly, should be carefully studied. Use only the named varieties and label each set of seed plainly so there Is no danger of having near together shades that shriek at one another.
 One of the finest display of perennial phlox I have ever seen was ruined from a color standpoint because the ugly pur7 Die pink varieties were grown side py side with the lovely rose pinks and crim- sons.
 Contrasting colors may be linked to- gether and harmonized by masses or white between. It Is better to have one' or, at most, three or four colors in your garden If you dread monotony' you can plant so that as the flowers come into bloom in succession this color scheme can be changed.
 This is managed by having quantity of a few kinds of flowers that foiio" one another in bloom. Massing of plants always give better results than scattering the same amount here and there through the border.
 Grow a few kinds of flowers and grow them we'll Plants need individual care and if you have so many different kinds that you cannot study the special needs of any, your garden will be disappointing to look at and of less value to your own growth in gardening knowledge.
 Notice also the architectural effects and see where your yard or porch couio .be made moro beautiful another year py 1udicious planting. Vines are feature of gardening that is too often neglected. They may be made to cover many an unsightly spot
 Study all the beautiful gardens you can. Even though yours may be on small scale, they will prove inspiring and help you to many a bright idea that you can carry out.
