COLLECTING FLOWER. SEEDS

1t is desirable to save ones seeds
not only as matter of economy, but
as means of improving the variety
In a collection Of annual plants, all
from the same stock of seed, there will
be considerable variety presented.
Some may vary from the general
stock in the size or color of the flow.
er and others In the habit of the plant
These peculiarities are not certain
to be reproduced, but the probability
Is that some Of the seeds from such
plants will show Them and by follow.
ing a course of selection one can In
few years establish variety that
will come constantly true from seed.
1t has been found in practice that
though popularity may not show It
self very strongly the first year, 1t will
manifest itself the next year If the
grower perseveres.
1t Is well to mark those plants, the
seeds of which are to be saved, while
the plants are in full bloom, and not
trust to memory.
In bed of plants from which seeds
are to be saved, promiscuously, and
when it is desirable to have all one
color, those Of different shade from
the required, must be pulled out as
soon as they show themselves.
Some seed pods open with jerk as
soon as ripe and scatter the contents
for a distance. Some open by hole
or crack, and as the plant Is swayed
by the wind the seeds are gradually
sifted out.
In other cases there is no provision
for the scattering Of the seeds, but'ths
fruit of seed vessels must decay be-
fore they are liberated.
1t is not necessary to wait until
seeds are dead ripe before collecting
them. A little experience teaches one
to know the point at which it Is safe
to gather
Those seed vessels which In break
Ing scatter the seed, should be gath
cred Just before they open, and be
allowed to pop under some convenient
cover.
AS soon as the seeds are gathered,
put q label with them, and when they
are thoroughly dry, clean and store
them away.
Tie manner of cleaning seed Is va
ried, according to circumstances, slft'
ing, gently winnowing, rubbing be-
tween the hands being resorted to &C
cordlng to the kind of seed.
A series of small sizes of mesh will
accomplish most of the work.

Clothes of Many
C0lors Are Offered

and not many are available for the
woman who has not many social
opportunities to display a variety Of
clothes.
To begin at the beginning of the
color scheme: Midnight blue holds its
own.
Black Is in demand by those who
want to dress well in the afternoon
and evening, but 1t does not hold a
high place for street suits or frocks.
Dark Green Rivals Blue.
Dark green is a serious rival to
dark blue, and the French dressmakers
who exploited 1t last year are now
reaping reward because the public
is accepting it. Know yourself well,
however, before touching any tone Of
green. If you're picturesque, you can
wear it in any one of the shades that
are variously known as jade, Egyp-
tian and lettuce

these to the bottom. Nymphae is
hardy lily and the culture of 1t is not
a problem which presents grave diff
culties. Before the baskets have
rotted away the plants will have at
tached themselves to the bottom of the
pond.
Where there is rich muddy bot
tom to the pond piece of pipe is
fastened to a root and cast in where
the water Is between 20 inches and
two feet deep.
While lilies thrive in cement tanks
which have q foot of soil and the re-
mainder for water, the natural ele-
ment for them is the mud of ponds and
lakes.
Lilies have certain enemies that
have to be reckoned with. Rats,
swans and aquatic birds often pull
them to pieces.
If you are planning water garden
as a means of raising lilies, select q
place open to the sun renewed by a
small inflow and protected from rough
winds by protection of shrubs or
small trees.

chology that the colOrs of war should

It is better to be sane than foolish
when one approaches the subject Of
red in clothes. The scarlet danger
sign should be put over all the coun-
ters where red fabrics are placed, and
it should be worn by the mannequin
who parades In a red gown. 1t Is
the color of conflict; it is not the color
of peace. The woman who can wear

An Epidemic Of Gray.
The world has gone on for a CEN
tury or two feeling that gray Is the
tome of sadness and that its Quakerish
ugliness must be avoided. 1t has been
difficult color for decades. Women
have adopted 1t only when the silver
sheen on its surface made 1t possible
This season, however, all doubts
are dispersed by the superior tones
which the dyers have impaired to the
various fabrics grouped under the
elastic name of gray.
There is moonlight gray, which may
spell peace, but 1t is In close prox
unity to artillery gray, which STANDS
for death. There Is the gray of granite
and the gray of London smoke. There
is the gray of New England ses
mist. and there is the tone that one
gets from the glitter of cut steel.
These grays are not used alone thii
season. They are combined with hori
