THE AMATEURS GARDEN.
BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHuYsEN

| BY ELlZABETH n VAN BEN HO 7 SEN
DO not begin by planning a larger
garden than you can possibly care for
Gardening is great joy, but it entails
much hard work and 1t should not be
contemplated in light vein, for while
the results are worth all the effort
given to it, many back-aches are the
portion of the young and inexperi-
enced tiller of the soil.
There is, fortunately, a class of an
nuals which might well be called
'standbys,' the kind which bloom well
under almost any condition. These
are the kind l would advise the anna
teur to work with.
Early sowing of seed enables the
plants to get good root system.
Have a large bed of nasturtiums.
also beautiful and easy of culture.
The petunia may be made to renew
itself by going over the bed in Au-
gust and moving off the top of every
plant.
In a short time new shoots will be
ter part of the summer you may ex-
pect flowers quite as fine in all re-
spects as those of early summer. In
order to keep nasturtiums bloming
throughout the season, do not allow
seed to form.
1t is often advisable with nasturti-
ums to cut off good many leaves in
order to give the flowers a chance to
display themselves.
Do not use too much fertilizer in the
cultivation of this plant, as rich soil
induces the development of luXuriant
growth rather than the production of
large quantities of flowers.
The garden that is without the an
nual phlOX is missing a great OppOr-
tunity for the display of beauty. This
plant is one Of the very best we have
for massing. 1t is rarely satisfactory
when grown in small quantities or as
single specimen,
Exquisite in combination are the
soft yellows, pinks and white varieties.
If you are fond of ribbon gardening
effects, this plant lends itself to it ad-
mirably. There are other cOlOrs, red
scarlet, lilac, all good by themselves
but not effective when used in con-
junction with the more delicate tints. |
Cosmos, were it not for it's late-flOw-
ering habit, would be one of our most |
popular flowers. But unless it is pro-
tected, 1t Is pretty apt to be injured
by the early frOsts. If you are willing |
to protect it around about September |
20, by all means plant it.
For cutting, these flowers are SUI
perb. In the long spell Of pleasant
weather, which so often follows the
early frOsts, it is a most desirable ac-
QUESTION to the flower kingdom.
For a hedge, there is nothing more
handsome than zinnias. These grow
to a height of three and four feet;
they branch freely from the ground
up, and every branch will bear flow
ers by the dozen-large, small and
few flowers in the gar
den will give such combination of
color.
One of the strongest arguments to
urge for the selection of this plant is
its easy culture. 1t will grow as read
lily as cabbage.
In planting for a hedge, let the
plants stand about 1S inches apart.

NOTES

Make notes this year to guide you in
next years planting plans. If you see
flower or shrub you admire, find out
the name and variety if possible.
Keep all the fence corners cleaned
out. More vermin are harbored there
than anywhere else ON the place.
Give japanese iris plenty Of water
to insure good blooms.
With nearly all plants it is neces-
sary to keep the flowers cut to pro-
long the bearing season. This is es-
pecially true of sweet peas.
Flowers that are not making satis-
factory growth may be stimulated into
activity by liquid manure.
For late flowers of gladlolus plant
bulbs not later than July 4. Put in
some tuberOses also.
Always keep on the lookout for pos-
sible mosquito breeding places-rain
barrels, upturned cans, low places In
roof cutters, and liquid manure tuba.
Drain OFF or apply kerosene.

Unrelated Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes have not much In
common botanically with their more
familiar namesakes. They have long
been cultivated as food in tropical and
subtropical countries, and were actu-
ally introduced into England at an
earlier date than the common potato.
The two tubers were often confound-
ed by writer's Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries, but the sweet
potato won more popularity than it's
rival. STEPPED in wine or made into
a sweetmeat, it was regarded as an
excellent invigorator. Sweetish and
agreeable to the taste, it's flesh-form-
ing qualities are considered equal at
least to those Of the common potato.
