Zinnias, Marigolds Easiest ' To Raise In Your Yard A question which is asked fre quently these early spring days runs something like this: "I'd like to have a flower gar den, but I don't have a lot of time to mess around with a lot gf temperamental plants, and go through a big deal of constant dusting or spraying and the like. What can you recommend to fill the bill?" A simplicity garden is one an swer?and such a planting would use only two annuals?zinnias and marigolds. Zinnias will produce glorious bloom in the garden from July through fall until the first killing frost. The plant thrives under heat and drought conditions. The zinnias provide display and cut flowers in great profusion?and the more you cut the more you'll get. One of the finest supplies of cut flowers in the house we have had in many a year was provided by plantings of Blaze zinnias and Moonglow marigolds. The bril liant reds and the delicate yellows combined for excellent cut flower arrangements?and looked w^tl in a garden border or cutting bed. Zinnias, as well as marigolds, come in many varieties and heights, permitting a display which can range from six inches tall to four feet for backgrounding. It's easy to grow the plants from seeds. Plant the seeds thinly in rows after the last average frost date in your area. Some folks plant the seeds in groups of three or four at the specified spacing in tervals?a foot to 18 inches apart ?then thin to the sturdiest plant. Zinnias need plenty of grow room, so be sure to thin the seed lings to the required distances. Overcrowding will give spindly plants. The plants respond well ?to transplanting with little loss even though your experience may be limited. , Just take reasonable care in transplanting, and try to leave as much soil as possible around the roots of the seedling. Water well after transplanting. While many persons prefer 'to buy packets of seeds with vari colored flowers included try, one planting of solid color with a low border of another for startling ef fect?then compare the multi colored planting with the solid color plantings and you be the judge of which is more effective in your garden. Either way .you'll find the plant ings remarkably disease free, and also you'll find that they grow well In heavy clay soils where other plantings might give you trouble.

Peppery Vir ginia-born Lady Ast .r, on her an nul visit to the United States !rom Great Britain, where she was t former member o! the House >f Commons, was a guest at a tea given by Mrs. Sherman Adams, wife of President Eisenhower's top issistant. After being introduced to Mrs. \ dams' other guests, many of them wives of Republican bigwigs, she said in her characteristically can lid fashion, "It's scandalous to be with all these Republicans. T*m a ( Democrat." < However on one occasion dur- I ing her Washington sojourn she visited at the White House with I President Eisenhower and re- < marked that "everybody in the world is rejoiclnk over his decision < to run again." She added that t Elsenhower had to have the Demo- < rrats, you know. He couldn't have I a foreign policy if it weren't for I the Democrats." She went on to i say she was for Eisenhower as < "long as he can stand it?but thank 3od, he's supported by the Demo- I ?rats" and that she's sure he will i >e elected "if Virginia backs him." I On one of her former visits L*dy Astor announced she doesn't tare what people think about her. ] 'It's what I think about them that tounts." she told wives of the na tions' lawmakers. Then she went >n to say what she thought about their husbands. The average poli tician. she said, is far better than the man who sits at home and criti tizes him. Lady Astor revealed that her ruotheV ?u married at 16 and said she didn't want children. "She had 11, of which I was the aeventh unwanted." she said. One ef the five beautiful Lang horne sisters of Virginia, she is new in her mid-TO's but looks years younger, is still trim, erect, spir ited. Married at 18 to Robert Gould Shaw, she was divorced six years later and took her eon to Eng land where in 1906 she married Viscount Waldorf Astor, conser vative member of parliament They bad four sons and a daugh ter and now live at Cliveden, a country estate near Plymouth. Lady Astor was Plymouth's mem ber of the House of Commons for 23 years until IMS. Lady Astor, in her rather ramb ling fashion, likes to tell a joke or two. but off the record. She denies she's a Socialist. "I loathe them." she asserted, "but I'm for social reforms." She also says she's "tired of people who forget that America's foundations came from England."
