FLOWERS TO PLANT SOON
(By L. A. Niven)
To have them bloom next year the
hardy perennial flower seed should
have been planted in late summer. If
not already planted they may yet be
put in, if done right away. Some of
the best of these are^jj ,
fiflfrnnial aster. J
Candytuft.
Shasta daisy.
Dianthus or pink.
Digitalis or foxglove.
Forget-me-not.
Hollyhock.
Lobelia.
Perennial larkspur.
Perennial poppy.
Sweet William.
Snapdragon.
Gaillardia.
Heliotrope.
From late September on tnrough
October is the ideal time for planting
bulbs, the leaders of which are as
follows:—
Hyacinths.
Tulips.
Daffodils.
Lily of the valley.
Poeny.
Paper white narcissus.
Regal and Madonna lilies.
Crocus
Freesias.
Hardy garden iris.
For pansy blooms by Christmas se
cure well grown plains from green
houses or seed stores and set now, in
the open, or in boxes or coldframes, dte
pending on one’s location. For early
and finest blooms next spring plant
sweet pea and pansy seed in open or
in coldframes before end of October.
Only slight protection with leaves or
hay will be needed to carry them
through the winter.

| IT’S TOUGH LUCK when you’d like to get |
:i:j mad but can’t. That’s the predicament of a writer, who |
£: calls himself an "avowed radical,” in a recent issue of NA- :§
| TION’S BUSINESS. |
| "It’s all due to my household electricity bill,” *:
•jij \ he says. :§
"We make no attempt to economize on elec- g
tricity. On the contrary we waste a lot of it. §:
g Every night two or three lights burn until past g
g dawn, simply because we forgot to turn them g
g out . . . The radio is turned on for hours at a g
g time . . . During the warm months the electric g
g fan ran 24 hours at a stretch. g
$•
g "The end of the month arrives and I receive g
g my bill. Under the head of residence lighting I :§•
g find—'$3.53.* I think back over the month—
g of all the convenience, comfort and pleasure we
g have had from the use of electricity. g
g "So there is the secret. I simply can’t become enraged over g
g the 'pdwer trust’ when I get all the electricity I can use
