The citizens OF Washington and vi
cinity have an unusual opportunity
the splendid park paintings to observe
a wide range Of plants and flowers
Those who have gardens should give
these paintings more than q passing
admiring glance and should use them
as a sort of test garden from which TO
select species and varieties for the
home decoration. Many Of the trees
and shrubs are labeled. and in the
Department Of Agriculture grounds
the beds Of Spring bulbs are plainly
marked Rather than hastily scan
catalogues, make a study Of the plants
themselves.
The seed stores will soon display n
variety Of vegetable and Towering
plants II is well to recall that tender
plants, such as tomatoes and peppers.
are frequently injured by frost up TO
the middle If May unless one Is pre-
pared to cover them.
