Digitalis
(Foxglove)..
A fine border plant throwing up a
long terminal raceme of bloom from
three to four feet high. The Iluwevs,
which are thimble shaped, are of var-
ious colors and very prettily marked,
They boom iu June or early in July.
Seed may be sown any time from
early api•iug until eepteriiber and
when the young plants are strung
`btTogh to haudle, transplant to the
place where they are to grow, setting
the plants eight to twelveir}ches apart
Give good rich soil and keep wed cult-
ivated throughout the season. May
be planted in the aper or in places
partially shaded by trees or shrubs.
Some catalogues list this as a Weenie!
and it will be such with those who do
not give. it the proper care. The bed
must. be so situated that water will
drain ori readily during the winter.
Early in the fell cut off the flower
stocks and when the ground begins to
freeze protect theloots and leaves with
coarse litter. Half rotted manure
spread over the ground beneath the
lower leaves will make good piotection
tor the roots and tu.ey be deg into the
soil in the sprint:, Over the leaves
spread straw and coarse litter if you
have it. Treated this way the Fox-
glove will live for many years. But
as they grow an a,huudance of seed,
which, if not gathered will drop to
the ground and germinate, the supply
may be reuewed or increased by thin-
ning out or transplanting to the
place where it is desired they should
grow.
Holly hock
This is a perennial of stately growth
and very free flowering, producing
spikes of bloom four to eight feet in
height. The flowers of the newer and
better sorts are beautiful almost be-
yond description, having layer upon
layer of petals of the finest silky tissue
of soft though brilliant coloring.
Most desirable for the beck row of the
perennial border, oe growing along
fences. Seed may be sown any time
from early spring until the last of
September. Spring. sowing should be
done in the open seed bed as early as
the ground can he worked ,ieto a fine
and mellow condition and when the
plants are large enough thin out or

to grow, setting them from one to
two feet ap art in light,rich mellow
soil. See that the bed is raised slight-
ly aboye the level so that all surplus
water will drain away. Cut off the
flower storks as soon as they are
through blooming and when winter
is at hand protect with a light cover-
ing of co tree litter. If rightly treated
the plants will live and bloom for
many years.
Delphinium
Indispensable for the back row of
the hardy perennial'border, growing
from two to six teet high. Tee seed
of this flower germinates very slowly
• and care should he taken to keep the
soil moist until the young plants ap-
pear. It may be sown any time from

September. Fall sowing should be
made in the cold frame and early in
the spring, before rapid growth coin,

ground should be dug as deep as can
be done with the digging fork or
spade and enriched with well rotted
I;arnvard maibure, If this cannot be
obtained at planting time get some of
the best to be had under the circum-
stances and dig it in as early in the
fall as possible and defer transplant-
ing until spring, by, which time the
manure will have sufficiently decom-
posed to do no harm. If barnyard
manure of any kind cannotbe obtain-
ed, use bonemeal. If the soil is very
heavy add a quantity of .wood ashes
in the fall if transplanting is not done
until spring; or finely sifted coal ashes
or sand may be used to lighten heavy
soil any time before planting.
Papaver (Perennial Poppies).
As hardyy spring flowering plants'
• too much cannot be said as they are
unsurpassed at their time of bloom-
ing. They may be had in many
shades and colors and rn'eny of the
varieties are most useful for cutting
purposes, while for table decorotions
in large • vases they have no equal.
When growing among shrubbery the
scarlet varieties when in bloom look
like a bed of flame to light up the
surroundings and willattract atten.
tion from afar off. They thrive best
in light sandy soil. Seed should be
sown in July, August or September
in thelac where e they are to grow,
as it is very difficult if not impossible
to transplant then.. They may be
transplanted when in a dormant state,
but it requires an expert and then
there is considerable risk. If it is not
convenient to sow the 'seed in the
open during • August or September
it may be sown in pots and when the
.ground is ready the plants may be
removed from the pot if done care-
fully without any disturbance to the
`roots if not allowed to grow too
large. Before removing give the
plant a thorough watering and let it
stand an hour or more to drain off any
surplus. Turn the pot upside down
on one hand, allowing the plant to
slip between the flneers. Tap gently
on the bottom and sides of the pot to•
release the earth, then lift off the pot.
Set the plant with the ball of earth in
tact in the hole prepared for it in ad-
vance and fill in around with earth.
When freezing weather sets in give
protection of straw or coarse litter.
They flower in May and June and
gram from one to four feet high ac-
cording to variety.
PFRRENNIAL PHLOX (Decussate.)
Among ry few hardy perennials
has the work of the hybridizer been
more noticeable in his efforts, more
appreciated than in the perennial
phlox. Larger and bolder trusses of
bloom have been obtained while new
and more striking colors serve to dis-
tinguish it from the hardy phlox or
our boyhood days. For those who like
solid color effects this flower has no
equal. To see it growing in large
clumps with the large panicles of flow
ers so numerous that the whole top is
THE SAFETY OF

May Be Taken For Years

Nature's gifts do us good, if used

We drink water, year in and year out,
