has not much time to give to her gar
den is to plant only the flowers that
will give the best result for her limit
ed care.
No lover of flowers can afford to be
without a corner for sweet peas. They
bloom in wonderful profusion and
their beauty and fragrance are too well
known to need comment. Plant as
early in the season as possible, and
SOW the seeds about an inch apart.
Cover with about two inches of soil
and tamp the soil down firmly. Keep
the roots well covered as they grow,
as shallow planted sweet peas often
fail in hot weather. Provide some
brush for them to grow on, water pro

Allow a corner for poppies. Also

was reproved for his breach of eti-

meekly. But a moment later he
turned to the diner next to him and
