BEAUTY OF THE HYDRANGEA
BY LIMA r. ROSE.


Inquiries have come in about good
fall towering shrubs. It is likely if
vote were taken for the best late
towering, hardy shrub the honor
would fall to the Hydrangea.
While there are shrubs that like
better, this one seems to suit the
masses. 1t has the merit of extreme
hardness, easy culture, great florifer-
BUSINESS, late blooming and persistent.
Its flowers lose their early white
ness as the season advances, but in
their pinky-brown stage they are not
without attractiveness, and even after
snow comes they afford pleasing eff
fects when seen against background
of pure white.
In planting the Hydrangea / would
never advise using it singly. 1t is
vastly more effect 70 when grouped.
BY this means we secure for it a
strength and dignity which single
specimens never have.
The enormous heads of the bloom
have considerable weight, but they
are all the more attractive when they
cause the branches to take on .
graceful curve.

FARM MACHINERY WASTE


More machinery rusts out
than wears out. More ma

An amusing story was told by Mrs.
3. Rennie of Harrogate in opening a
bazaar at Eccleshill. A visitor to a
hospital for soldiers was surprised to
hear one of the patients being ad
dressed by the nurses by his Christian
name, it being customary to address
patients by their surnames only Upon
inquiry as to why this distinction was
accorded to the particular soldier re-
ferred to. the reply received was:
We'll. we can't very well call him
by his surname.
"But why not?" queried the some
what astonished visitor !.
"You see" was the overwhelming
answer. his surname is Love, and it's
rather awkward Tit Bits.
