PAGE TEN ’ '// > > /Mk ‘ imMifirmm ! . , In the flower garden this is a good time io plant seed of spring stid esrly summer blooming peren nials. If these seeds are planted now ,r. flats, coldframes. or well-pre pared seed beds, and transplanted as soon as large enough to handle, they will bloom next year. If you plant the seeds in the spring most, of these plants will not bloom un til the following year. August and September are good months to plant seed of pansies end winter annuals such as annual lar.ks.spur, annual phlox, shirley poppies and cornflower. Pansies should be transplanted but the oth ers may b* left as seeded. They are ill hardy so winter temperatures. All are early spring bloomers.
