Annual Lupines

If you have trouble growing per-
ennial lupines, try the annual va
rieties.
The annual lupines are not so
fussy and grow easily from seed
with spikes of bloom almost as fine
as the perennial types, and have the
advantage of blooming the first
year from, seed.
These ANIMALS have a fine range
of colors in blues, pinks and white
variations. There is also a yellow
variety of soft tones. They prefer
partial shade. best places where they
will get the morning sun.
There are both tall and dwarf va
rieties. The tall sorts give the long
est spikes and are better for cut
ting. while the dwarf types are bet
ter Cor bedding.
Plant the seed about a quarter
inch deep and, If necessary, trans
plant as soon as a true leaf de-
velops. They are rather hard to
transplant, but as the termination
Of the seed is uneven it may be
best to SOW in the seed bed and
move to permanent quarters later.

controlled by spraying. Without
protection the vines become un-
slightly and should not be used for
an ornamental screen.
If one would combine beauty
with utility, consider the scarlet
runner bean Phaseolus coccineus)
which grows from 6 to feet and
bears scarlet or white flowers and
edible beans. If you are troubled
with the Mexican bean beetle it is
well to omit this one from your
garden. however, for these beetles
are ravenous eaters and persistent
beyond words.
The Japanese hop vine Humulus
iaponicus) is another strong grower
with rich luxuriant foliage. 1t is
useful for covering trellises Of large
area. Sow the seed in rather rich
soil where they are to grow. The
hop vines seem to be immune to
most insect pests and are not greatly
troubled by heat and drought.
Other annual climbing vines that
are useful in hiding barren walls or
in screening unsightly objects are
the cypress vine and the cardinal
climber (Quamoclit). These two
vines are often listed as star-glory,
which resemble the morning-glory.
In fact, they are sometimes listed as
varieties of them. The cypress vine
has dainty fern-like foliage and
small star-shaped flowers. The
cardinal climber has large bright red
flowers that resemble the morning.
glory. The balloon vine (Cardio-
spermum) and the mock cucumber
(Echinocystis) may be suggested as
being Of interest
The above are ANIMALS or are
treated as ANIMALS in this area. All
OF them like sun, they are of fairly
rapid growth and can be trained
to cover walls, trellises, or fences as
needed.
Among the perennials one might
mention the perennial sweet-pea
"a weed to some people, but the one
form of sweet pea that can be
grown here without effort), the Gle
mats and the Allegheny vine lad
lumia fungosa). Among the woody
vines there are the wistaria, grapes,
bittersweet, Ampelopsis, trumpet
vine, etc.
One can readily select a vine for
almost every tradition and there is
really no excuse for not having an
attractive green background for the
yard and garden. or for having bare
walls when there are 50 many really
beautiful things to be had from seed
or root.

Reports on Value OF
Vitamin B1Display
Some Variation

What do you expect from the use
Of vitamin Bl on your plants? Are
chrysanthemums the size of din
ner plates desired? Are roses on
eight-foot stems expected? Then
play with this material to your
hearts content. Many gardeners
are experimenting with the material
but not all of them expect the i'm
posslole-which, according to case
histories. has happened.
Since the announcement last fall
of what vitamin B1 can do and
has done. there has been a wave
or excited interest among flower
growers. The thrilling stories have
reached most gardeners and those
who are non-magazine readers
could not fail to note the large
quantities of this substance shown
at the various flower shows.
Preliminary reports lead to the
belief that a lot of imagination is
being built up on what may happen
without foundation of solid
scientific facts. The material Is
expected to help. but certainly not
revolutionize the gardeners pro-
blems.
While scientists tell us that under
certain conditions and with some
plants a marked benefit was derived
through the use Of this material,
they also tell us that abundant
quantities of vitamin Bl are al
ready available in many plants and
most soils which contain COW manure
or other humus.
Any one with an experimental
frame of mind will welcome the
opportunity to use and study this
material for possible betterment of
our flowers; others will be content
to know that 1t is remarkably
beneficial when transplanting. and
will be willing to await further
published scientific information,
based on wide experimental usage
Of vitamin Bl.

All.America Awards
Honorable Mention
To a Blue Saliva

So popular has the scarlet sage
been since Victorian days, too pop
ular some may say. it has tended
to obscure the fact that most of the
sages have blue flowers; and the
blue sages are considered by good
judges to be the best members Of
the family.
Judges in the All-America trials
this year gave honorable mention
to a new strain Of the lovely SALIVA
farinacea which carries the variety
name Royal Blue. This is the best
annual blue saliva, growing 3 to 4
feet tall, and bearing flowers of
deep blue in erect spikes. which
branch freely from the main stalk.
The blue of the sages is a cloudy
blue, the kind which makes an
ideal foil for other colors. Alone
it might be dull, even the more in
tense version of it which this new
variety produces. But when it is
combined with brighter colors. a
double affect ensues; the blue
makes the other colors brighter,
while they in turn bring out the
beauty Of the blue. 1t is a perfect
foil for all other colors, red pink.
yellow and orange go equally well
with 1t.
For this reason, saliva farinacea
makes grand background plant in
the annual border, or it may be set
in among more brilliant colors.

Winter Protection
Is Unnecessary.

In this latitude no winter protec-
ton of any kind should be given.
Losses may occur during the sum-
mer, but hardly any loss should be
expected the first winter, certainly
none caused by cold weather.
The second summer the 12-inch
spacing is not enough for full de-
velopment Of the individual plant.
Two ways are open to relieve the
crowding. The first is transplanting
to q new bed Of every other plant.
If this Is not feasible the new shoots
should be reduced In numbers by
pinching OF the weakest ones. It
Is enough to retain two or three
strong breaks from each plant.
