Neva Taylor Harrington
I found some “glories” to revel
in at the ARTHUR WHITMIRE’S
at Calvert. The heavenly blue
morning glories greeted me —
and they are a glory! The
beautiful lake with twenty two
Mallard ducks resting serenely
beneath trees at lakeside,
couldn’t be termed anything but
glorious.
The glory continues in the
flowers all over the place. Such
striking colors) in CANNAS,
DAHLIAS. HIBISCUS,
CALADIUM, TUBEROUS
BEGONIAS, and CLEOME.
SUNFLOWERS, both midget and
mammoth-sized, also the Italian
variety—all giving of their glory.
Outstanding are the colorful
ACHIMENES, the enormous
ELEPHANT’S EARS, the
beautiful HARDY WANDERING
JEW, the delightfully LACY
DIANTHUS, and the prettiest
PORTULACA.
Yes, I found so much beauty
today at Arthur and Frances
Whitmire’s home at Calvert.
GARDENING: August is fast:,
going—and will soon be gone. It
is now that we begin thinking
about next spring’s garden. All of
us will have in our hearts forever
the remembrance of springtime,!
with shrubs and bulbs bursting »•
into bloom. It is only in Autumn J
that we can plant springtime’s
beauty. •
Make selections from flower
catalogs, from nurseries and
garden stores. Place orders
early. -r
In the meantine, prepare
places for the things you want to
plant. It’s the preparation of soil
that is all important to the suc
cess of whatever you plant. All
roots should be dug out; the soil
should be clean and pulverized.
ORDERS FOR DAFFODILS,
Hyacinths, tulips, the true garden
LILIES, ORIENTAL POPPIES,
HOSTA, DAYLILIES, IRIS, /
BLEEDING HEART ,,L.<
PRIMROSES, CANDYTUFT,^,
THRIFT, BLUE BELLS, v
CROCUS, and PEONIES should
go in immediately. I’ve found
that ordering early saves,,
disappointment of stock being,,
sold out. Growers always ship at, .
correct planting time.
All of the above mentioned,^
flowers do not bloom in early '
spring, but should be planted in
fall.
So long, gardeners!
