such plants do not give as early bloom
or the profusion of bloom which will
be borne by plants started in a house
and shifted for time into pots which
cOnhne the roots of the plant and
check it, so that when set in the open
the increased food supply has a ten
dency to induce the development Of
flowers rather than wood, tendency
Which is maintained, much to the
qualification of the gardener, through
out the season. When transferred to
the open the plants should be set at
least foot apart each way. The same
distance should also be given plants
grown from seed sown in the open.
There are both double and single
forms of the French marigold. The
named varieties are especially good,
but very satisfactory results are OBJ
tained from mixed seeds.
The African marigolds frequently
grow two or more feet in height, and
for this reason are better suited for
planting in mixed borders or along
belts Of trees and shrubs than in beds
or masses in small areas. This is,
however, the common marigold of the
garden in America. The leaves and
flowers are strOng-scented. The range
OF color in the flowers of this type of
marigold is from sulphur yellow to or
ange, the darkers shades being more
commonly met with than the lighter
ones.

Taqetes)

There are two distinct types of gar
den marigolds, each with numerous
horticultural varieties, derived from
two distinct species.
The French marigold, which is the
most compact and regular in growth,
and consequently the most valuable as
a bedding or border plant, has been
developed from tagetes patula, while
the African marigold, which is of
more spreading and open habit of
growth and therefore less suited for
bedding purposes, but well adapted for
herbaceous or shrubbery borders, has
been developed from tagetes erecta.
The common names of these plants
give no clew to their nativity, both be-
Ing tropical American plants, in spite
OF common names to the contrary.
The French marigolds are all useful
bedding plants. The habit Of growth
is erect and compact with good fol-
lfage. The flowers are we'll formed,
bright in color, and occur from June
until frost. While these plants can
be grown and successfully brought into
bloom from seeds sOwn in the open in
April in the latitude Of Washington,

CHRYSANTHEMUMS

The chrysanthemums, like the pinks,
contain some of the most valuable Of
the commercial florists products, both
hardy perennial and annual Towering
plants.
The large-flowered types Of chrysan-
themums, which each autumn produce
such gorgeous shows in the stores,
florists establishments, and conserva-
tories, are not hardy, and since they
are treated as greenhouse plants by
the florists, they are only mentioned in
this list. The class of hardy chrysan-
themums, which should be more COM
monty seen in every flower garden,
and which are known as pompons, are

gayest flowers. The plant is particu-
larly useful in the Northwest. The
seed does not germinate until hot
weather, and should be sown late. Be-
yond the sowing, this plant requires
little care. The hardy character of
the plant is shown by the fact that it
can be transplanted while in full flow
er through the driest, hottest seasons.
The average height Of the portulaca is
six inches.
At Washington and southwark this
plant will perpetuate itself by self
sown seeds. In some soils this is suf-
ficient to cause the plant to assume q
weedy character. 1t never becomes
troublesome like its near relative, the
weedy garden purslane, or "pusley"
(pOrtulaca Obracea).
Middletown transcript., 1917-10-06

simply noted to give proper relation
to the annual chrysanthemums which
are the subject of this sketch.
These plants bloom most satisfac-
torily If the seeds are sown early in
hotbed or cold frame and the young
plants transferred to the open as soon
as the soil has become sufficiently
warm. to keep them growing without
check. If started in a hotbed, the
young plants should stand ten to
twelve inches apart when set in their
permanent locations. Somewhat less
satisfactory results can be secured by
sowing the seed about complaining
time in the open where the plants are
to bloom. The seedlings should be
thinned at least eight Inches apart.
If the same care in regard to disbud-
ding and pinching back is taken with
the annual plants as with the large
fowered perennials. the work will be
rewarded by greatly increased size Of
the flowers.

This bright-aowered, thick-leaved

brilliancy among plants of low growth.
1t possesses the ability to flourish un-

even the hot sun and a light sandy
soil, with sparse water supply, will
not destroy it. It is satisfactory for
beds, edgings, and rockwork, and for
filling up irregular spaces or unexpect-
ed gaps in flower beds. AS an under

liable. It flourishes, carpeting the
