You can sow most nuals outside in the firstweek May, but for some tender inds such as zinnias and tith. nias you should wait until the ad of May, when the soil is uch warmer. Sow the seeds thinly and not cry deep, usually in drills ade with the handle of a rake out half an inch deep. Very all seeds such as balsam may sown on top of the soil and ghtly raked in. When the'seeds ye germinated and grown rge enough to handle, thin out e seedlings so that they are ree to six inches apart. The following are some good uals to treat in this ways The sweet alyssums Royal arpet,• Navy Blue and Rosie 'Day are varieties that give lour to edgings; but for a mpletely dwarf and uniform arkling white edging it is dif. cult to beat the older Carpet Snow. The Early Splendor 'amnia. s is a new easily-gown fol. ge plant with Iaregpoinsettia. e heads of brilliant red leaves ontrasting with the coppery ronze leaves produced lower wn the stem, The very showy china asters Yi PittApF-,t:PYIstEk9 YOAJWY.

Most reliable for cut owers are the Princess types, owderpuffs and Heart of France. For the fall fairs try the Improved Grego and Cali. fornia giants. For a good late fall .bedding effect, broadcoast seeds of the single types where they ,are to flower perhaps among early flowering irises or similar perennials. New and improved balsams are fine for sowing outside now. You can get the double camellia CloWers for borders or even a hedge, and the sensational Tom rhumb •dwarf cultivar for plant« ing in the patio or rock garden. Scotch pot-marigolds (Calen. clula) are long-suffering annuals that will grow in almost any place where the seed is planted, if the soil is moist enough to get them started, Try the new Geisha Girl or the Pacific Beauty mixture. California poppy (Eschschol. tzia) is another annual that must be sown where it is to grow. They are almost impossible to transplant but will flower Profusely just where the seed falls. Try them on a sunny, sandy slope and they will pro. duce a very colourful effect. The strain Mission Bells pro• ved to be very superior to the regular mixture in the trials at the Plant Research Institute last year. This is a new mix. hire with hues of rose scam let, pink, 'gold, and cherry. If you want something unique and pleasing, try the goal. phrenas. The variety Dwarf Buddy, especially will make a very attractive edge to your flower garden. Gomphrena.s prefer a sandy soil or a med. turn loam but will not grow in heavy clay. The ft-ewers are everlastings, and if picked and dried will give you purple, rose and white colours for winter arrangements. The night-scented stock (Mat. thiola bicornis) is excellent for sowing near a spot where you sit in the evening. It has a delicate iragrance, particularly noticeable after a hot humid day. Nasturtiums are, of course, best sown outside. There are many double• forms, all useful for poorer soils. ry the new Jewel types • that form neat mounds of semi-cloubleblooms. They grow best in a poor sandy soil, so avoid overfeeding. Candytufts, cornflowers and cosmos are three annuals that are bound to please, both as effective plants outdoors 'and as cut flowers. Try the Giant White Hyacinth candytuft, the Jubilee Gem and Jubilee Rose ' which are newer dwarf compact forms of cornflower, and the very showy Dazilere Radiance and Pinkie cosmos. The new Stuiset cosmos is best planted away gllgte.,affie .acittleMoffgeks.) dor UP lkant oralAea colgar compatible with the pastel shades of• its brethren. It is an almost foolproof cultivar that requires little attention except for cutting off the fadedblooms. Most home owners know about portulaca, an annual that is always sown outside. The single jewel variety with deep rosy. purple flowers is extremely val. uable as a good edging, ground cover or rock-garden plant Virginia• stocks, if sown dir. ectly outside needlittle thinning and produce colour over a long period. They are very dwarf and need a large area to pro. duce a colourful mat Zinnias must,he sown toward the end of May when the soil has warmed. They will flower in August and produce good cut. ting material for a special flo. ral effect from then until frosts, Tithonia 'Torch' has orange. scarlet flowers and grows quickly to a height of almost three feet. Cut in the bud stage for good cut-flowers. The stems are weak right under the blooms and will often break when the flowers are cut in full bloom. Sweet peas, as mentioned ear. Her, should be sown right now for the best germination and summer bloom. Instead of the usual climbing types, try the new Knee-Hi strain; these pro., dace very showy long-stemmed flowers on bushes not more than three feet high.
