C0L0RS IN ANIMALS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

For summer towering, ANIMALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of seed packet is but trife.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large lunches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
OF mixing a dozen varieties in as
many square feet.
1t is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in a vase
rather than the Heterogeneous collec-
ton in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers if you would secure
the best effect

they used to call it, is a handsome
plant, its long slender stems render

young seedlings to the garden as soon
as danger from frost is over.
The colors of some are very fine
and to one liking the single flowers
the plan is a good one of getting a
variety at small price; but unless
started very early these seedlings
rarely mature tubers that will keep
through the winter, though they COM
mence Towering almost as soon as the
plants are started from the tubers.
The chrysanthemum-f lowered asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
in masses and for cutting, than the
quilted bouquet sorts. II but two
kinds are chosen, let them be lavender
and white with rose as third choice.
When ordering seeds there is
strong temptation to order mixed
packets, yet if the very finest speci-
mems are expected the surer way is
to single out one or two of the choicest
colors.
These are made up from the best
individuals, while the mixed packets
are what the name implies though in
many instances highly satisfactory

WORK A-OAY NOTES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

II the season is a dry one some
of the plants in the garden will have
to be watered if you want flowers
from them. Especially is this true of
gloxinia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow,
and see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash day for this
purpose. The snap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup
ports for your dahlias. If this is not
done you win likely find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rainstorm The stakes
should be at least four feet tall
allow an extra foot and half for in
sertion in the ground and they should
be at least an inch through, and of
good sound wood Paint them a dull
green and they will not be unpleasant

The Chronicle answered the Ger

declared Europe would be ruined II

victor would be the United States.
That. OF course, is a reflection
which Germany might have well
