BY GARDEN CLUB EDITOR
Things That Annoy

o, there's lots of things to 'noy you,
When you're going on eight:
Like scrubbing nails, and teeth, and
ears
When you're kind Of late.
Then there's dancing-school and
parties
And thank-yous and good-bys,
And saying prayers and Sunday
school,
And never telling lies.
There's the snake that's in your
pocket,
Which starts wrig-ling about,
When you'd tied it in your hanky
So it couldn't get out. -.
But the awf'lest thing, I tell you,
That anybody knows,
Is when they stand you in the store
And measure under-clotheS.

Plants are novelties the first few
years they are listed in general cata-
logs. If they prove satisfactory under
many different gardening conditions
and catch the fancy of gardeners,
they become standard varieties. Most
novelties are produced by plant breed
ers who work patiently for years
to produce something they think will
add beauty to the country's gardens
it is said to have taken 80 years, for
example, to develop the lovely shirley
poppy from the wild field poppy.
Other novelties are wild flowers of re-
mote areas offered for garden growing.
Still others are formerly unknown
plants found in gardens of foreign
lands, or even our own land, as was
the case of the double naSturtium,
Golden Clean, that was the outstand-
ing novelty the year it was intro
duced, and that has since been used
in breeding many newer novelties.
Until recent years, each scotsman
offered his own novelties Often a
variety that was magnificent in one
locality was failure elsewhere. Peo-
pie began to lose faith in catalog
descriptions. Influenced by this fact,
the progressive seedsmen of the coun-
try got together and arranged for
test gardens in many different parts
of the country. Any scotsman in
the world may send seed to these
gardens for trial planting, and few
novelties are now offered until they
have had a years test in these gar
dens. Several hundred novelties are
tested each summer, and their per-
Torrance graded by members of the
All-America Selection council. The
Gold Medal or the Award of Merit
given by this council means novelty
has been outstanding in the test gar
dens of all parts of the country, and
so may be tried by amateur gardeners
with minimum risk. There is still
gamble, of course, because variety
that does well wet summer may not
do equally well dry summer, and
variety that flourished on good soil
in a test garden may give poor re-
suits in ordinary garden soil.
The tithonia introduced with such
praise few years ago is being rele-
gated to the background of annual
borders, along with such old depend
ables as annual sunflowers and cas-
tor bean. 1t is excellent as shrub
l. - - H.
but its flowers are too small and
few for the eight feet if often grows.
The texture and coloring of the flower
are unequalled, and it has consid-
cradle value for cutting.
Many of the most worth while
novelties are daisy like in appearance
the Tahoka daisy, dwarf asters and
annual rudbeckia being especially
worth trying.
