The Wilmington morning star., 1941-02-28

There is no need to make your
home lot unsightly because of
Defense Garden. In fact there IS
much real beauty in ordered rows
of vari-colored green, whether they
are of onions, turnips, or some OF
the brilliant ANNALS, such as as
ters, or zinnias. A combination OF
the two is most satisfactory, and
all it needs is little planning this
time of the year.
A glance at the illustration will
show you what can be done with
out much effort. Here the garden
has been divided up into beds
combining vegetables and flow
ers, with boundaries of the larger
blooms. They are separated by
walks of green lawn, which might
easily be made of flagstone, and
actually add to the beauty of the
landscape. Rows of ANNALS could
be planted alternately with the
vegetables, and a border of alys-
sum. lobelia, or the signata pumila
marigold at the edge of the walks.
might give added beauty and fin
ish.
This alliance of flowers with veg
etables is an old world custom OF
long tradition. practiced extensive
~ in England and Germany, and
particularly suited to the city gar
dener whose limited space does
not permit of too extensive plant
ing. Many of the vegetables OF
ornamental foliage actually vie
with the flowers in attractive dis
play. Such are parsley, carrots,
swiss chard, and that useful herb.
sage, the gray-green shoots and
blooms Of which are as stunning as
many of the subjects in the flower
garden.
AS few or as many flowers as
wanted can be put in the vege-
table garden in this manner.
Straight rows, definite design, a
background of stately delphiniums,
or hollyhocks, and simple edg-
ing are all that is necessary to
make the garden attractive. A lat
tice fence with Towering vines, a
few berry bushes in the far corners
and smooth velvet lawn all add
to your garden layout.
By all means make a definite
plan for your garden this season.
Get out pencil and paper, draw
little outline of your available
space, and then begin to plan just
what flowers and vegetables you
want and where to put them. Gen.
taureas, asters, calendulas, scab-
iosas, ten weeks stocks and other
ANIMALS of compact and upright
growth are excellent for this type
of planting. Wide spreading flow
ers will not appear at their best
here.
A vegetable and flower garden
setting out in center of the lawn
is attractive, or it may be moved
farther back end encased with a
lattice fence, low hedge or shrub
berry. Every home has its own
problem, and no matter how large
or small your back lot may hap
pen to be, there is room enough
for beautiful garden Make plans
now so that you may have your
seed in hand when the planting
season comes in just a few weeks.

great groups Of players coming up

lieve reports.
Local critics call Cooley the
finest prep team Detroit has de-
veloped in many years. and most
of these lads will end up in col

Whatever the answer is from
now on. l94l will be known as the
Year OF SophomoreS. Hardly a
club in the land wasn't telling the
world about its Angelo BerteIli,
its Tom Kuzma or Bud Higgins.
