GARDEN FAVORITES
TR1UMVERATE of flowery
summer beauty peeks at you out of
the left side of this page. At the top, the
dazzling Calendula Sunshine flaunts her
chrysanthemum-shaped blossoms. In most
climates, this flower blooms all Summer,
if fading Mofaotnss?re removed before
seed pods form. Next is the ever-popular
Summer garden standby, the Flaming
Velvet Petunia. Below, the Zinnia ot
today, ranging from pompom to double
flower nods an Easter greeting.
Uniformly dwarf ami compact, it sug
gests many garden uses. Its deep golden
yellow has a warm and mellow appear
ance, making it welcome alone or in
company with other colors.
Nasturtiums will grow .almost any
where, with little attention. They will
respond and produce larger growths
when well supplied with water. Dwarfs
should be planted on poor soil as they
have a tendency to run to leave? at the
expense of bloom on richer soils.
A charming feature of the nasturtium
is the mingling of flowers and leaves.
Thty make showy beds. Dwarf types
are godd edgings. The tall ones are
really sprawling in habit, but may be
easily trained to climb a trellis or wall
fitted with wire or lattice work by tying
the vines.
