people annually in this country alone

SOME EASILY MADE
AND EFFECTIVE BEDS
BY L.. M. BENNINGTON.

charming hedge is made by plant
ing scarlet saliva in row rs back
ground, then Il row of white nicotiana,
With blue ageratum as border. Here
we have the patriotic colors of our
flag effectively combined.
The blue of the ageratum and the
scarlet of the saliva would prove a
rather violent contrast If planted next
each other but separated by the white
of the nicotiania, their aggressiveness
is toned down in such a manner as TO
produce pleasing effect.
Another lovely hedge is made of zin-
Mas in the back row, then calliopsis
with white phloX as q border.
Fine effects are secured by the lib
eral use of ricinus. This plant will
grow to height of seven or eight feet
in rich soil, with leaves often yard
across of a rich bronZe-green, overlaid
With coppery luster.
Ribbon beds can be worked out with
good effect by using different colors of
the verbena in rows. Such beds are
most pleasing when near the house or
close to the path, where they can be

plants furnish us with edible leaves or
stalks, flourish if given nitrogen; when
the fruit, root kernel or bulb. Is the
edible part dose with ashes. potash or
phosphOric acid.
Keep an eye on the hotbed when the
sun shines brightly. Too much heat
will make the plants weak and spindly.
Get the brush for the peas and poles
for the beans when it is too wet to
work in the garden.
If you have no hotbed. SOW seeds
in shallow boxes placed in the south
window. Provide drainage, and water
them when the soil feels dry to the
touch.
Do not pillow too early in the spring.
Wait until the ground is dry. Follow
with the harrow until the soil is finely

Let. the rows run north and south !;
this gives the most sun exposure.
