m0lHiy seen In every flower garden,
and Which are known as pompons, are
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 a
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, thu
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 n 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
lowered perennials, the work will be
rewarded by greatly increased size Of
the towers.

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
tanned 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
inarigold Is from sulphur yellow to or
ange, the darker shades being more
commonly met with than the lighter
ones.

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-howered types of chrysan-

such gorgeous shows in the stores,

are treated as greenhouse plants by
the florists, they are only mentioned In

for growing in cool rooms or cold
frames. Another feature characteris-
tic Of this plant is that, after once
having been introduced into garden,
1t perpetuates itself from year to year
by self-seeding like the poppy, portu-
laca, and several of the other desir-
able ANNALS. Sow the seeds in spring
In warm, sunny border. Most va

and profusely the SECOND year. The
average height of the plant is six
inches.

MARIGOLD
TadefAsl

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
bedding or border plant, has been
developed from tagetes patula, while
the African marigold, which Is of a
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-

seedlings should be transplanted to
stand about foot apart in rather
thin or sandy soil. These plants are
also successfully treated as biennials
by sowing the seed in July and trans
planting the young plants to a cold
frame, to be placed in the open the
following May. The blooming season
Is from early spring until frost, and
the average height of the plants IL
one and one-half feet.

water they furnish supply Of delicate
flowers for cutting throughout the sea-
son. The phloxes are also useful as
window garden plants. The first sowing
of seed should be made as soon as the
frost is out of the ground in the
spring later ones in May, either where
the plants are to bloom or in seed
bed, as the phlox transplants readily.
In transplanting, set the taller kinds
about foot apart; If planted too
thickly. they suffer from mildew. The
removal Of flowers and seed-poda
makes the plants more bushy and com

more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
lions history and today the agricul-
'tural fields Of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled In any other
taine Of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature, en-
Joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
Atty by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very cx-
fistence Of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
$stuffs that can be produced SO eco
fnomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
eddy, will be maintained for number
vof years, and 1t appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap
fbounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
vof patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
sception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
ito a large extent, considered as only
"a place to live peacefully and afford
living for those who are satisfied with
merely comfortable existence. Such
"a wrong impression has been created,
I'm measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given supremacy
sin the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1t is certain
that there Is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking, needs it as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum Of profit, at the least ex-
tpense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
"a business and living Is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; small
per cent on the investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost Of producing has been the factor,
ID many places that has reduced the
protit It's the application Of sys-
tenn to the cost of various work on the
farm that 1t Is possible to give figures
on profits made In grain-growing Ia
Western Canada.
Mr. G. A. Wright Of MILO, Iowa,
bought a hundred and sixty acres of
lland in Western Canada for $1,000 In
December, 1915, and took his first crop
from it in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
lit and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $155 a bushel Ga low price
compared with the present market /,
had surplus of $2,472.67. His figures
