most cases the plants produce only leaves and a good root system the first growing season.
 As their name implies, these plants die to the ground each fall but the underground parts live through the winter and the second year they become effective as f1ow- ering plants.
 Types Grown From Seed
 Many different kinds of herbace- ous perennials are grown from seeds. A few of these are holiyhock, anchusa. delphinium, aquilegia. ori- ental poppy, sweet william, phlox. hary candytuft and canterbury bells. widely known herbaceous perenniale which are usually propagated vege- tatively in order to retain choice varieties are iris, peony, the chrys- anthemum and gladiolus.
 In the spring nothing can be done to establish spring towering bulbs except to make a memorandum to obtain stock of these bubs-- such as narcissus. tulips and hyacinths-- and plant them early next fall to bloom the following spring.
 For the earliest mass of bloom in the flower garden nothing can take the place of spring towering bulbs.

Twelve Tagged This Morning On

Long Anticipated Attack Gets Off to Early Morning Start --Lieut MulviIle and Assistant, Patrolman Namack Determined to Stop Parking on Both Sides of Streets

kept clear of parked machines on one side of each thoroughfare. Mer- chants protested and produce deai- CTS waxed strongly in no uncertain terms about being tagged to-day by the police, but as orders are orders Lieutenant James Mulville and his assistant, Patrolman Daniel Namack carried on to-day as faithfully as any two officers could possibly do under the circumstances.
 About 12 dealers were tagged within a period of two hours. The south side of Meadow street and the east side of Canal street was kept cleared of trucks, but the plan failed to enthuse produce merchants. The fact that both streets were open to traffic pleased scores of autoists. So there's the rub. Either the streets must be widened or a strict en- forcement of the parking law car- ried on every morning during the rush of dealers for the seasons veg- etables and fruits.
 It is disagreeable assignment for the officers, but they Automatically handled the situation to-day. It is 8 very unpleasant development for the merchants. but they realized that orders from headquarters must be obeyed. The tagged dealers peeved and disturbed will carry their protests to higher officials in event of fight.

 We depend on annuals for much of the color in the flower garden during summer. Because of their rapid growth and wide variation of form and color they are fayorites in newly made gardens. Annuals divide into two groups according to planting times. One group is hardy and seeds can be grown as soon as the soil is dried out enough to spade.
