A Respite from the
Old Vegetable Bed
Whst Woman Does Not Long Occasionally to Get
Away from the Utlitarianism of the
~ Inevitable Kitchen Garden

IT fs one OF Natures most intimate
pleasures TO scatter seeds for ner
q flowers. That Is the reason she
takes such an interest In seed pods
and pollen and inveigles the color-lov-
ing bees and butterflies and the sport
i've winds In her task There are all the
elements OF chance In this fascinating
game OF scattering seeds. Perhaps
that is what makes the thought Of an
annual garden so enticing. The March
Winds are cold and clustering when
you dig the trench for the sweet peas,
but something in the sunshine and
the feeling of the air stirs up the hope
OF growing things.
Macie is planning an annual garden
thsa year, instead of tho vegetable
patch. She says she is weary OF being
n worker and longs to be purely orna-
mental. As Jack does all the digging,
ne ponders the hgurativeness OF her
speech. There is something substantial
about vegetable patch that inwardly
appeals to a man. Still an annual gar
den can be looked upon In the light Of
over discourage a vegetable revival.
There is always certain amount of
diversion for Jack in watching the de-
velopmdnt OF Macles plans. At the
very Btayt no marvels at her enthus-
iasm over the seed s-N.alogue. To the
uninitiated, this intimacy between the
seed catalogue and the gardener Is al
ways inexplicable Efacle is not alto
gsthor q beginner. In fact, II Is be.
cause her perennial borders are grown
up and no longer solicit the filling In
OF ANNALS that Macie has invaded the
vegetable patch. She knows the vlcis-
situdcs of gardening, but they never
cloud her spring hopefulness Each
spring she orders her seeds with ex-
iautitude as she would the silks for her
embroidery.

How else can you have time to plant

catalogue2
There are about thrce hundred va
rletles of sweet peas on the market.
There are forty varieties Of the select
standards, twenty-one varieties of the
incomparable besides all the new or
chidfowcred ones that every sweet pea
lover wants to grow. And sweet peas
are only one kind of flowers for the
annual garden. Flower growing is a
pastime for a long life.
Gardening, someone has said, Is more
than the growing OF plants 1t Is the
expression of desire. A garden Is a
very personal matter and must be
made up chiefly out Of the gardeners
loves. In Macie's garden, there are
to be plenty of Shirley poppics. They
are sown as early as possible and do
not bear transplanting. They are sown
thlnly. preferably on a cloudy day.
Then they are barely covered but
pressed down firmly They bloom dur
ing late June and July; and while they
bloom, the days are full Of color reve-
lations and flower surprises, for no two
flowers are alike. OF course, no gar
den can depend for stability upon such
fairy flowers.
In Macie's garden, ten-weeks' stocks
will be old dependables. They begin
to bloom IN the middle of July and
continue until frost. The strong spikes
with their close-set flowers are full Of
old-fashioned quaintness and come In
many soft colors: in snow white and
creamy yellow, In silvery rose and lilac,
in blues and purples. Their fragrance
Is especially alluring. Cosmos give
