In the Flower Garden.

This is the season of the year when
the wife hurriedly washes the breakfast
dishes and armed with a garden trowel
starts out to fix up the flower garden.
She will probably make the husband
wheel in some well-rotted stable manure
to dig in around the rose bushes after
which she will send him off to look up
some empty boxes in which to start the
finer seeds in order to have plants to
set out later. Of course, she will want
variety and the usual array of caliop
sis, poppies, cosmos and portulaca will
receive due attention. 1t might be we'll
to try some of the Shasta daisies.
Poppies make a snowy bed and over
against the fence dig a trench, put in
plenty of rich dirt mixed with rotted
manure and plant some cannas. They
make better showing if you have
mass Of them. Many people do not
succeed with carnations but under fav
orable circumstances some are growing
them in Florida. If you have not already
done so you had better trim up the rose
bushes and set out the trimmings to
make new bushes with which to en-
large the garden. Many of the new
settlers will miss some of their Old
standbys, but with little patience will
soon find many flowers that will do we'll

Native Ferns.

It may not be generally known that
our native ferns may be successfully
transplanted and grown in the shaded
places where we are sometimes at loss
to know what to plant.
Our home is on the south side of the
street, and along the north front | have
a border of ferns next the house. Some
of them have been growing there for
every Spring as they did in their native
protected in Winter, except that few
leaves which drift about them in All
tumn are allowed to remain. I have
eight varieties, all obtained within few
miles of home. Doubtless further ex-
ploration Of the woods would result IN
finding still others.
These native ferns may be transplant
ed at any season from the time they
make their appearance in spring until
late IN the autumn.
The more of the woods earth one can
bring home to plant them in the better,
but given the required shade, they will
grow in any soil that is reasonably loose
When digging the ferns one often un-
knowingly gets other wildwood beauties
as WE'LL
In addition to the pleasure they give
when growing, they are very useful for
cutting, especially to use with large
flowers like the Iris, or with the spikes
Of Gladioli One precaution should be
taken when they are thus used, and that
is, to cut them in the evening, and not
in the heat of midday Sometimes even
then they will droop in little while,
but one soon learns which varieties can
be depended on to retain their freshness
