Harrington Sing a song of Dahlias swaying in the breeie, No place in the garden colors such as these, Other flowers are sweeter, manifold in hue, Yellow, pink and purple, lavendar and blue. But compared to Dahlias they are dwarfed and small, Dahlias, Queenly in their beauty reign over all! —Mercure When we think of August flowers the dahlia is foremost. Look for them now in gardens and enjoy their stately beauty. At Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ashe’s, on Island Ford Road, a glory of Dahlias in rainbow colors in many sizes. And to complement them are white flowering Hy drangeas in marvelous array. The walkway is lined with gay and colorful marigolds. On the porch are (begonias galore with amazingly beautiful coleus and other flowers. There’s much beauty at the Ashe’s. August Gardening consists of “up-keep”, Seed - Sowing, re planting, planting, etc. Have you noticed the Del phinium re-Mooming? This is a delightful flower to grow. The blooms will . enchant you. No flower quite equals them in the commanding stateliness of their profusely bloom-laden stalks. Their gamut of colors range from exquisitely delicate pastel blues to deep solid colors, and shimmering white. Delphiniums require a rich, generous and, well drained soil. Heavy soils should have the subsoil dug up, and a compost of two pants loam and one of equal proportions of decayed manure and sand added. This should be pulverized. On soils of a light or medium nature dig in plenty of well-de cayed manure. Plant new delphinium about two feet apart. They like room. Planting may be done now, (anytime in early autumn), or in early spring. Always remove faded flowers. If you do, you can expect a sec ond flowering on your plants. I think the best known Del phiniums are perhaps the Giant Pacific Hybrids with the Eng lish Hybrids close behind.
