When annuals are combined with perennials, to give summer brilliance w hile perennials Itloom in their various seasons, the most ?o lorfuV gardens result. Many perennials are as easy to gr ow from seeds as any annual. Among these are alyssum, car nations, call lops is, [tinted daisies, Shasta daisies, gaillar dias and columbines. A [jack et of each kind of seeds will furnish sufficient plants for even a large garden. For flowers next year, seeds of perennials should foe plant ed this fall. If you have a cold frame, sow in that. Oth- j erwlse choose a sheltered lo- j cation that gets some shade ; each day and make a seedbed I there. Prepare the soil on the ! top inch is very fine l>ecause ! seeds of many perennials are | tiny.

Equinox Brings Autumn Weather Washington- -Awe-struck In dians who watched nature's greenery burst into flaming reds and rusts and yellows called the season "tire In the trees." Few parts of the world can toast such brilliant leaf colors as those In the woods and on the sloping hills of the eastern United States, which at 7:17 p.m. EST on September 22 marked the time of the autumn equinox. At that brief moment each year, according to astrono mers, the earth reaches the point In its spinning orbit where Its axis leans neither toward nor away from the sun, the National Geographic Society says. In both hemispheres, day and night have the same length. The term "equinox" comes from the Latlnwords for "equal night." Its orbit, and Its northern half tilts Increasingly away from the sun. Nights become longer and colder. As temperatures drop, leaves that have hung In modest green array all summer burst Into brilliant color. Some hardwood species wear such a characteristic fall dress that foresters can estimate the timber content of an area by merely examining aerial color photographs Despite scientific study, no one fully understands the se cret alchemy that transmutes green leaves into hues ranging from gold to purple. According to early American Indians, fall's foliage was the work of a tribal god who turned the treetops to flames as a fearsome reminder of his om nipotence. Botanists explain, however, that In early September a lay er of small cells forms at the base of each tree leaf. These cells block off the flow of wa ter and nutriments to the leaf. The green pigment, chlorophyll, bleaches away, exposing tooth er pigments. Trees turn scarlet when ex cessive sugar is trapped In the leaves, causing production of the red anthocyanin pigments. The brilliance of the swamp maple Is a fine example of this process . Combinations of pigments make the infinite variation of color In autumn leaves. Autumn Is a time of activity as well as color. In the coun try, farmers are busy with their tall harvest. Some work even at night under the glare of floodlights. Squash and pump He'll Find Out A neighbor tried to comfort the deserted husband. "It was a terrific shock to hear that Smlthers ran away with your wife. I'd alwajs thought ~ht ~ was your best friend " "He is," replied the husband with a happy smile, "only he doesn't know it yet." Nary A Word Several days after his father died little Johnny was stopped In the street by a kindly neigh bor.#" And what were your poor father's last words?" the neighbor asked "He didn't have any," Johnny replied. "Mother was*wlth him to the end." ll kins, apples and cider are heaped on a multitude of roadside stands Animals also prepare for the rigors of winter. Groundhogs and bears combine prescience with pleasure as they devour stomach-stretching meals to tide them through the long win ter sleep. In the far south, autumn Is not such a matter of seri ous consequence to animals. There is usually enough food for all, Including the migrant birds that come south to win ter. Bird watchers "down south" rival each other to see the first robin of the season, a sure sign that winter Is not far away ? up north. Window Dressing "Could I try on that red draw In the window?" asked the bright young thing. "There's no need to do that," the elderly shop-assistant an swered coldly: "we have sev eral fitting-rooms." Total Loss Vicar?
