plants, which will cost you on the
average of twenty-five cents piece.

blooming in August and September.
This has the merit Of being very
hardy and a great spreader, 50 that
the plant will in few years become
an army, in fact, in time it will over

roots divided every few years.
Platycodon, or Chinese bell-fower.
About two feet high, blooming from
July for six weeks. Comes in blue
and white. Not nearly so we'll known
as it ought to be. Hardy, and easy
to raise, for a perennial. When I'M
opened, the flowers look like little
balloon; later they open and look
somewhat like our wild crocus, but
much more delicate.
Aquilegia or columbine. Many
varieties, of which I mention only
two, the common, or Canadensis, red
and yellow, and the Rocky Mountain,
or Coerulea, wonderful blue and
white. This plant will grow best in
partial shade, and is one of the ear

German Iris. Don't get the Japa-

more beautiful, but will not live here.
A wonderfully delicate and beautiful
flower in many colors, blooming in
June. You will have difficulty,
though, in getting it to flower the first
year from spring planting. ~
Peonies. One Of the best, but l

none too easy to raise, but it is per-
haps our most beautiful perennial. In
color it is wonderful blue, four or
five feet tall, with flowers running up
the spike. Once established, it is
hardy; but it resents transplanting,
and it is hard to start. lose at least
half of my plants when young, which

planted with the top three to six
inches below the surface of the soil.
Be sure to plant them in full sunshine,
away from the roots of trees, about
May l. Also, be sure to plant them
right side up. The under side of the
bulb has a little cup or depression.
You can buy these in named varie-
ties, or in mixtures. The beginner
had better try mixtures, which are
cheaper and contain many beautiful
kinds. Bought this way, they will
cost you about five cents piece. Try
twenty-five of them for starter

mistaken, you will want more the

be taken up in the fall and stored

tor was certain that he would never

count of the life of blackmail and
slavery now led by the members of
the old regime, the orioles extinction
was far less painful to Herbert than
his father supposed; and the latter
wasted a great deal of severity, in
Sisting that the printing press should

Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself on the third

he could. Once, however, they got a

when Cousin Virginia said:
"Oh, Herbert. Herbert. How could
you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr.. Crum? And, think of it;
right on the same page with your
cousin Florence's pure little poem"

audience readily understood that he

could be seen that his spirit was not
broken, even when Aunt Fanny
mourned, shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
"Oh, if boys could only be girls! !"

THAT is, if there's any part of it
that's worse than another--the worst
thing about it is This about Noble

"What about that poor thing?"
Aunt Harriet asked. I'VE haven't

There, inside the cover as she had
thought it would be, was engraved
writing. Sand had seeped into the
case; the inscription was obIiterated
in part.

was born, and Uncle Benny did not

down upon her bed. The pOcketknife
had no distinguishing mark of any
sort. The coins were abraded and pit
