Your Summer Tour
HAT DO you know about a modern laundry?
Have you ever visited one?
We should be glad to welcome you to ours.
The visit will delight any housewife. The
more fastidious you are ; the more insistent
you are upon the surroundings which your
laundry work should have; the better for
both of us.
We want all your washing ; not merely the
man's linen. He needn't have all the good
things. Mostly we want the evidence of your
own eyes to prove to you that we can do all
of your work better than any private laun
dress can do it.
Don't guess about laundry systems, because
you might guess wrong. You are pretty sure
to do so, if you have not seen a really up-to-date
laundry, fully equipped as ours is.

YES CHILDREN, it is
time to think of the
out-door Flower Garden
and we are telling you
mainly about the blooms
which come early, stay
late, and are always at
tractive; those easy to
grow and care for. The
investment is seventy-five cents and here
is the list :
NAME WHEN TO PLANT BLOOMING SEASON
Phlox Drummondii May July to Frost
Petunias May July to Frost
Nasturtiums April and May June to Frost
Morning Glory April June to Frost
Zinnias May July to October
Portulacas May JulytoFroet
Marigold May July to Frost
Sunflowers May July to Frost
Poppies April June to October
Stocks May July to September
Cosmos May August to September
Few plants will give such a wealth of
bloom, with so little care, as the annual
phlox, coming, as it does, in many colors
and in delicate shades, so that it harmon-
of nasturtiums and place them on the
breakfast table. They will give the whole
family inspiration for the day's work.
Portulacas open only when the sun
shines ; but the little, low-growing plants
are unsurpassed for covering sandy
places where it is difficult to apply water.
They seed themselves, year after year.
Indeed, they spread rapidly, for they are
close kin to that persistent weed known
as pursley.
Zinnias and marigolds lack the delicacy
possessed by the other flowers named ;
but they look well in beds by themselves.
They are not at all exacting in their de
mands ; they love the sun, but will blos
som in partial shade; -and they bloom
bravely on, after most of the garden bri
gade has gone down before Jack Frost.
One often finds them in November.
If the renter has an extra nickel, let
him buy a second package of poppies.
They are worth growing in profusion.
They ought to be massed, at any rate, to
be most effective, and grown largely by
themselves. Their colors are brilliant,
and a long succession of flowers may be
enjoyed by making several sowings a few
weeks apart. It is very important to get
" TIME TO THINK OF THE OUT-DOOR ILOWEIt GAIJDKX "
and they must not be
izes well with other flowers. The plants
grow about ten inches tall, and are often
used for edging beds and for borders
along walks. The flowers must not be
allowed to go to seed, and the season of
blooming may be hastened by starting
seeds in the house in March. Phlox
Drummondii is one of the most satisfac
tory low growing plants for general pur
poses, and the renter will do well to
make its early acquaintance.
The petunia is an old-time favorite;
but the specimens grown now are far
superior to those of long ago. It is a
most accommodating plant, for it will
make an excellent showing whether used
in beds, borders, pots or window boxes.
Extra early flowers may be had by start
ing seeds in the house in March.
Nasturtiums and morning glories
should be planted wherever there is any
thing to train them on. One can hardly
have too many, for there are no more
friendly flowers in the garden. The rent
er's wife will fill fish bowls or other wide
mouthed receptacles, with great bunches
them in early,
transplanted.
Some people don't like sunflowers ; but
they are the kind who fain would paint
the lily and gild the rose. Grow these
sturdy plants at the rear of the yard.
They will hide the fence and make a line
show. There are several varieties, and
the plants should be thinned to fifteen or
twenty inches apart.
Ten Weeks Stock, especially the double
varieties, are among the plants which
should not be omitted from the garden.
If the renter had a grandmother in the
country he may be sure that stocks were
the pride of her garden. The colors are
white, pink, yellow and scarlet. It is
best to grow the plants in clumps. The
blossoms are fragrant.
Grow Cosmos for delicate, late flowers ;
and pinch off the tops when they are a
foot high, so that they will make a bushy
growth. The plants grow tall, so should
be kept in the background, and they need
staking. Try it and see if what we have
outlined is not practical.
