Continuous Bloom
of Shrubs
Yes it is possible to have almost
continuous bloom in the shrub border
if care is taken to plant the border
and garden with the proper varieties.
This is an excellent time to check up
on your plantings and see if there are
gaps in the flower parade that need
filling.
As the warm sunny days of spring
arrive they are greeted by the golden
bells of Forsythia, an excellent back
ground shrub. And if you have at
least one Garland flower (Daphne
cneorum) its lovely fragrance will
first delight you during the spring
days of April. Eager also for first
place is the Thunberg Spirea with its
feathery grace and myriads of dainty
white flowers, hut it must share hon
ors with the glowing red flowers of
the Flowering Quince
May finds us with a'wealth of bloom
among our shrubs. Vanhoutte Spirea,
with its pendulous branches, its snowy
white blossoms and spreading grace
dominates the scene. For pink, which
is always welcome in the garden, we
have the Flowering Almond. For ex
quisite fragrance there is nothing love-;
lier at this time than Viburnum
Mrlesi, not exactly a newcomer but
anything hut common. Also in May
we have the French, Chinese, Persian
and Common Lilac, the Honeysuckle,
and lor one who loves yellow flowers,
there is the brightly cheerful Hugonis
Rose.
Late May and June bring the Mock
Oranges and their delightful fra
grance, set off by the Pink and Red
Weigela. There is also the Pink
Tamarix, and the White Fringe to j
give variety to the June border.
Showiest of all July blooms is the
Snowhill Hydrangea, and who does
not love that little gem, Anthony Wa
terer Spirea which is equally desir
able ? In July the Rugosa Roses also
are very beautiful.
With the approach of August there
are fewer varieties in bloom but none
less lovely. The Butterfly Bush is in
its i :ime: the Sweet Pepper or Sum
mer Sweet is at its best, and for
hedges and backgrounds we can de
pend on the Rose of Sharon.
The late summer landscape is
brightened by the immense flowers of!
Peegee Hydranga, first white, then
deepening to deep pink as the autumn j
season arrives. Soon after this the
shrubs take on their glorious autumn
colors as the final number with the
entire cast.
SALUTES
In the United States the charac
teristic salutation is “ Hello!”
The rational salutation of Naples
•was formerly. “Grow At,
present in most parts of Italy, a
phrase equivalent to “How are you?”
is used.
The Spaniards say, “How are you
passing it:
The French, “How do you carry
yourself?”
The Germans, “How’ goes it?’
The Dutch, “How do you travel?”
The Russians, “Be well.”

ADVERTISING ON THE AIR
Commercial broadcasters in Cana
da have entered into an agreement
permitting no advertising over ai r
“other than the mention of the spon
sor’s name, address and nature of his
business or product.” This decision,
it well to note here, was only reach
ed after an investigating committee
had recommended government owner
ship of all radio facilities.
The United States may have to
follow C". reda’; example. Those who
predicted a bright future for the
radio as a medium of education and
entertainment are beginning to en
tertain serious doubts. It is true that,
the Ohio School of the Air and other
educational projects have b»en sue
cessful, notwithstanding opposition
on the part of those who saw com- 1
merrial advantages to be gained by
using the time for expounding the
sdvantages of So hnd So’s tooth- ,
paste, interspersed with crooning
lullabies.
The most desirable “listening” |
hours for the radio owner are from:
7toll in the evening. Naturally
this period is most sought after by
advertising sponsors of programs. A
few discriminating advertisers use
good taste by confining their appeal;
to the name of the company and
the product. Others, by far in the
majority, go to greater lengths, until 1
an evening’s twirling of the dial
brings forth a deva. tating medley of
jazz combined with a narrative of
the merits of product or service.
The judicious advertiser is already
beginning to wonder if his programs
are really based on what his audience
likes. He is also beginning to won
der if the regard for his product on ,
the part of his audience is not often
in inverse ratio to the number of
times it is mentioned on the program.
Some far sighted advertisers are
even revising their methods with
favorable results already apparent.—
The Rotarian.
Make Plans Now For
Outdoor Livingroom
The old clock on the mantel shelf is
steadily ticking its way toward gar
den time and the garden lover longs
for the feel and smell of the rich
warm earth.
He is already planning a schedule
of garden delights that starts with the
melting of the snow and ends with the
bite of next fall’s first frost. Perhaps
you, too, are planning and it is well
for you to do so for there are many
| tilings to be considered before the
; ade first turns the black soil and the
! earthworm slides away from the light
! that intrudes upon its privacy.
The successful garden is the result
j of careful planning. The space to be
alloted to vegetables and greens must
b< decided upon. Rows, borders, and
: banks of flowers must be laid out
to insure beauty of arrangement and
a succession of blooming that will
keep the touch of color undimmed
throughout the summer and early fall.
And if you would have a delightful
outdoor living room for the enjoyment
of family and friends next summer
this is the time to plan its arrange
ment, iu:nishings and decoration.
Plants, garden furnishings and orna
mental features make the outdoor liv
ing mom inviting and comfortable, and
no home is attuned to the mode of
1P32 until the grounds are as livable
as the house itself.
Any real estate dealer will tell you
that an outdoor living room actually
adds a great deal more to the value
oi your property than it costs, and
unlike most things you buy, trees,
shrubs and evergreens increase in
cash value every year after planting.
The possibilities of the garden are;
endless and the problems met with in,
developing a productive yet attractive
garden are such that they cannot be
«olved in a day. No better time is
available for deciding upon the pur-1
poses ami appearance of this year’s 1
garden than now. Once the garden 1
! rogram is decided upon there is an
added zest in carrying it out to reali-1
zation, watching it develop under the
guidance of hands that love the effort/
of gardening. Unless you plant this;
spring a whole year of enjoyment will
be lost.
Making The Home
Grounds Livable
Often in pictures of successful in
teriors. one notices many details
which seem to make one feel that here
is a room in which the owner really
lives and enjoys himself. Is it not
1 t’-ue that a room in which you delight
, t > sp-nd the hours at home—a room
which gives your friends a great deal
of pleasure when they come into it—
can be considered a success from the
standpoint o. r good decorating and sat
isfactory living?
Likewise it is the ability to live in
and make use of the grounds that
makes them part of the home. Where
there is nothing outside the house to
enjoy, there is no comfort in going
outride. Lawns without shade, flow
ers and borders, are like bare rooms
v.ith hard benches and no other fur
nishings. The developing of the land
scape can be thought of as a part of
f’ne home furnishing. The grounds
become livable and comfortable as
they are planted with trees which give
ns comfortable shade, with shrubs
w’bich screen out undesirable views,
or form a background to the flowers
which give us beauty. The most liv
able grounds are those thoughtfully
planted. j
inspiration, and others for consola
tion.
j sometimes worse than none at all.
Soap will clean the hands, but for
the spirit give us a high wind at sea.
Until we trv we don’t know what
v o can accomplish.
The best place to succeed is where
you are with what you have.

For lawn or general shrub border
planting the “bush” types are best.
; These include the wild roses such as
resa blanda, canina, spinossima,
Carolina, lueida, nitida and the rugo
sas. The climbing or trailing sorts
are often valuable for “facing” effects,
1 and on banks or terrace slopes,
j Among these are the rosa setigera,
multiflora, wichuriana, rubiginosa
and their hybrids
Some of the bush types, such as the
“old-fashioned” Harrison yellow rose,
, can be combined with perennials in j
1 mass or border effects. The Harrison
I ellow rose is effective with Iris pal
i lida dalmatica, or with delphinium.
There is a wide range of choice in
climbing roses for arbors, trellises,
! pergolas and the like. The Ramblers
'have always been favorites and many
of the varieties such as Lady Gay,
Hiawatha, Dorothy Perkins, Silver
Moon, Doctor Van Fleet and Ever
green Gem are immensely popular.
There are hundreds of named va-1
rieties of teas, hybrid teas and hybrid j
prpetuals Some of the best known
hybrid teas are Killarney, La France,
Los Angeles, jonkheer, J. L. Mock,
Mrs. Aaron Ward, Ophelia, Gruss an I
ITeplitz and Sunburst. j
• Os exceptionaly fine merit are these
j varieties which are rapidly becom
| ing popular—Souv de Claudius Per
| net, Dame Edith Helen. John Russell,
i Lord Lambourne, Mrs. Henry Bowles,
. of the new everblooming roses are
. Wilhelm Kordes . A few of the best |
Talisman, President Herbert Hoover, j
Mrs. Erskine Pembroke Thom and
Marion Cran.
In the hybrid perpetual groups, Clio,
Frau Karl Druschki, General Jac
queminot, Hugh Dickson, Paul Neyron
j ■ nd Mrs. John Laing are much in de
-1 mand.
Make your rose garden early in the j
| spring and set out the plants as soon J
ias planting . eather arrives. Roses j
j like good soil and half of the battle
jig won 1 r preparing the beds with
deep spading and adding manures or
suitable fertilizer.
Roses are not difficult to grow and \
one does not need to bo an expert gar
! dener to have fair success. A little
1 attention to the few rquirements is .
all that is necessary to secure a mar- j
1 velous garden of blooms.
