Lythrums are very good herbaceous perennials to supply color in July and August, say horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food. The plants can be obtained in colors ranging from pink to magenta, and are quite hardy, doing well in either full. sun or partial shade. They can also tolerate fairly dry conditions. The plants can easily be started from cuttings. These should be taken from the base of the plant when they are 3 or 4 inches high to produce the best plants. However, side shoots may also be taken in July. The cuttings can be rooted in sand or other material such as vermiculite, Once rooted (usually in about two weeks), they can be set out in a sheltered part of the garden. For best . results supply some shade for a week or so. The main plant can also be divided in early spring by digging it up and dividing it into clumps with a trowel or a sharp knife. These clumps are planted with the dormant buds (eyes) a full 2 inches below the surface• of the soil. The tall spikes of colorful flowers are very attractive as cut flowers.

Cypella herbertli is a rare and beautiful plant from .South America, Its 'yellowish-orange flowers are produced freely .all. summer on sterns two feet high, Treat the bulbs like gladiolits, i,e. dig and store during winter at a temperature of from 45. to 50 degrees, Another tare plant that needs a little extra care, but which will repay in producing fantastic bloom, is the Japanese egret flower (Habenaria radiate), a terrestial orchid that is a deciduous bulbous plant, with small bulbs shipped in a dormant condition. crow them in the shade in a small four to six inch patio pot or in a well drained peaty soil in a raised corner of the patio. Cannas are also summer flowering tuberous plants. Set them out in deep enriched soil, when the temperature is at least 65 degrees, or start root stocks indoors in early April and transplant to the garden. Try the new dwarf varieties just two feet tall. Store in winter in flats of peat moss. The pineapple lily (Eucomis) is quite easy to grow as a tender summer flowering subject. Plant at the end of May with the bulbs close to the surface and dig and store before hard frost arrives. This is also known as the Amazon lily and, like the Crinum, is related to the amaryllis. It needs moisture, light shade and ample watering during the summer and a fortnightly feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer applied at half the recommended rate. The Gloriosa lily is one of the most beautiful flowers in the world. Its blooms are fully five inches in diameter and are exquisitely colored red and gold with twisted petals. This vine-like plant is supported by tendrils developed at the leaf tip. Pot the tubers in March, pink tip up, in rich, loose soil. When warm weather arrives, plunge the pots in soil outdoors in full sun, or for late flowers plant them directly outdoors. If you plunge pots outside, make sure they are watered every week during dry weather, Store the finger-like offsets of these plants in vermiculite as soon as frosts are prevalent, If you leave them outside in pots, bring them inside for the winter without removing them from their pots, and start them as they are in spring. The fragrant sea daffodils of Peru are now obtainable in many varieties. They have large trumpet-shaped flowers beautifully fringed and sweetly scented. Advance is a pure white cultivar with a green stripe in the throat; Ismene festalis is a species with white flowers and narrow perianth segments and the newer Sulphur Queen is primrose-yellow with a light throat and green stripes. These are fantastic flowers to grow for they will often flower within a week or so of being planted. If you wish they can be potted up in May, kept inside as pot plants until after they blossom, and then planted out in the garden. The bulbs must be stored rather warm at 60 degrees F, for the winter in either vermiculite or peat moss. Do not clean the roots off as you would gladiolus. Montbretias are gladiolus-like flowers which are best planted in pots and stood on the patio during summer. Very often they are at their best when early killing frosts arrive. if planted in tubs or pots they can be brought inside where their beauty can be enjoyed for a few weeks longer. The bulbous ranunculus (Ranunculus asiaticus) are very showy members of the buttercup family, but with very large double global flowers of white, scarlet, crimson, pink and gold. Since they look like a turban when freshly open they are often sold as turban ranunculus. Plant them at the end of May or early June and they will bloom in July. In August, when the foliage turns brown, the plants should be harvested and stored for the winter in a cool room of about 40 to 45 degrees. All the bulbs and tubers mentioned here need a good well drained soil. If this is unavailable, make a hole and place coarse stone at the bottom and fill in with good sandy loam, The spectacular flowers you will get from these exotic plants will amply repay you for your extra efforts.

Williams Fuels Ltd. 482-6633 CLINTON Distributor for all Shell Oil Products SHELL CHEMICALS ANNIIIMINIMMOININNIM BY A, -13, Apart from the more commonly grown gladiolus and dahlias, there are many bulbous and tuberous plants which, if planted during the next two weeks, will do much to add color and interest to your garden this summer and fall. Some of . these are best planted in tubs or large pots for a patio display and taken into the basement for the winter where they can be stored intact. This is especially' true of the Blue-Lily-of-the-Nile (Agap an thus) which has tnberous roots like a dahlia, and stores enough food during the summer to keep the plant in good condition all winter. Listed in specialists' catalogues and sold in some garden centers are many different types of anemones, including the beautiful Anemone coronaria which is usually sold in mixed colors. According to some botanists this is the plant which is most likely to have been the biblical Lily-of-the-Field: These beautiful plants with single blooms in colors of red, white and blue must surely have been more radiant than Solomon in all his glory. Other anemones offered are the blue and red De ' Caen types and the very popular semi-double St. Brigid's anemone. These bulbs may be stored in . vermiculite during the winter and started in flats, again like begonias at the end of March, or new bulbs may be purchased each year for they are cheap enough. Plant them six inches apart in partial shade, preferably in sandy soil. If the soil is heavy, work in lots of gravel, peat moss or stone. The sub-tropical Crinum lilies have large lily-like blooms on two foot stems. Like the Nile lily, these bulbs are also best grown in tubs or large pots that can be taken in during the winter and stored. If planted in the garden they need a well drained bed of well enriched organic soil and should be
