The 1920 Models In
Flowers

Old-fashioned ANIMALS, ancient
favorites in our grandmothers' gar
den, are haviE:, their day after
period of retirement before the Juror
for perennials. The marigold, the
snapdragon, the lupin, and others
now find luxurious homes not only
in the garden, but on the greenhouse
benches. Snapdragons and poi
marigold adorn tht Tourists window
the year round where a few years
ago they found little place.
They bloom, that is the secret
Neglect, doesn't stop them. Inc
better their care the larger and more
lavish their display, but they will al
ways bloom. Graduated from the
little patch OF posies wherever
grandmother found patch for them
they now hobnob with the tea roses
and other floral aristocrats.
A garden of bloom in two months
time with ANIMALS is always an easy
task. 1t is only a matter of selec'
ton. Think Of the royal asters we
now have, rivals of the chrysanthe'
mum in size of bloom and stateli-
ness of growth. Now is the time to
get ready for q sheet of color out
doors and full vases in the house
Get ready for castor beans the size
OF a small tree If you like this state
" exotic. Five cents will bring the
making of a stately screen OF the
Zanzibar castor bean with its great
umbrella leaves.
A low hedge of four o'clocks
along the walk or driveway to br1gnt
en- the dusk with their sheets OF
bloom can be started in a Kitchen
winter. They can be started out
doors but why lose a month or so II
there is place for them.
Gorgeous golden Afican marii
colds with their velvety brown Grim
son and mahogany French cousins
make the garden gorgeous for the
later months. They can be started
early and brought into bloom earlier
1t is only a question of selecting a
favorite to take advantage OF the
season. Mourning Brides, larger
and finer than our grandmothers
ever knew. give wealth of long
stemmed flowers for cutting ana
bloom until frost cuts them down and
they stand a lot of cold.
Huge zinnias, rivals of the DAN
lias and not half the trouble VIII
furnish sheaves of bloom. The for-
ist has achieved triumph in the
new colossal varieties in size, form
and color. And they bloom and
bloom.
Salyias. the old-fashioned scarlet
sage, growing tall or growing snort
as may be desired, with long stems
or with short stems, the most Drill
liant ANIMALS. needs shelter from the
cold when it starts.
Golden daisies, rivals of anything
the florist turns out, can be had IN
the annual chrysanthemum.
Double balsams growing into
miniature trees of bloom when trans
nlanted and pinched back are popu-
lar again. They are now appreclat-
ed as pot plants for summer taDie
decorations. Pinks in myriad
shades grow as easily as weeds.
Animal poppies in delicate siiken
shades as well as faunting scarlet
are ready to fgurnish their ploonl
once their tiny seeds are scat'eren,
but they are an annual that does h'sA
bear transplanting wen. lhey
should be sown in the open ground
The hardy ANIMALS offer the quick
est return of any garden material.
The one fault usually found and
which should be guarded against IN
nlanting them too thickly and los
ing half their development. -Four
o'clock. for instance, need two feet
between them and they will meet
African marigolds make big bushes
if given the room. So do the zln-
Mas. Some of the smaller growing
ANIMALS need more room than they
are usually given. Mignonette
needs a six-inch radius to develop
its perfume, but it seldom gets 1t
