Desirable Annual Flowering Plants Annual flowering plants should be employed more largely than they are t now to improve home surroundings and supply cut flowers for inside dee P t i oration 1 h >a arareea: y of culture and will do well to almost any soil. With a few exceptionsttons they m ay be seeded to the open ground in the early spring as soon as the ground can be prepared. If a good stand results thinning to about six inches apart I should be done. If started under glass or in a hot- bed in order to get earlier bloom, the seed is sown in rows in shallow boxes, generally termed flats. When the plants are sufficiently advanced they are transplanted to other flats. In these they are spaced two inches a- part, so that a section of soil may be cut out with each plant when trans- planting to the field, and little- check in growth result. Or the seed may be sown thinly in flats and the plants set to the open ground when fairly well developed, without the necessity of transplanting into other flats. There are .many varieties listed un- der the various kinds, and unless for special, work mixed sorts are advised From time to time many of the var- ieties offered have been tested at the Experimental Station, Kentville, and it is largely a matter of choice on the individual as to what may be consid- ered the best. Group ;planting in borders or at the base of shrubbery, rather than formal bedding, is advised, as requir- ing less work and usually giving a more"`pleasing effect. Those sorts suitable for cut flowers should also be planted .in rows in the back gar- den, so that an ample su,,ply for this purpose may be available. For edging, Sweet Alyssum, Little Dorrit, nd Candytuft (white) ; Tag- ates aignata pumila (yellow); and Lobelia Crystal • Palace Gem, and Dwarf Ageratum Blue Star (blue) are very satisfactory. Of the ever- lastings Helichrysurn (Strawflower), Acroclinimn, Globe Amaranth (Gom- phrenn), and ,Statice are the best. For cut flowers as well as rot• gen- eral planting the Snapdragon (Antir rhinur) is one of the best. It is usually started inside. There are many kinds, and the sorts intermed- iate in height are probably the most satisfactory. The annual single Chrysantheum and the double vari- ety Bridal Robe are both good. They are usually started inside, Coreopsis Drummondii and C. tinctoria are two of the best; these may he seeded out side. Cosmos Should be more ex- tensively grown, and the plants should be started inside. The a t- nual larkspur nray be seeded cut - side, as well as Gypsophila, Gaillar- dia, Lavatera, Scabious, Sweet Sul- tan, .Bachelor's Hutton, Shirley or other poppies, Scbizanthus, Nemesia, Nigella, Sunflowers in variety, Mig- nonette, Nasturtium, (Swan.

The Collingwood Bulletin recently remarked that the newspalpers,have become so distinctly a part of the community that it would be difficult to conceive of any live community de void of a local newspaper, and that not less inseparable and mutually de- pendent are the newspaper and bust- ness. It is virtually imposible to point out a business success within the last two decades which has been achieved without the aid of news - v.. inn Under Jep r advertising. ; modern conditions any town without a good newspaper and active btsiness enter- prise soon becomes an actual repro- duction of the poetical "Deserted 3 Village," accepting whatever trade is left to it but ceasing to be a go-getter in attracting trade its way. Oil Bottles Standardized. An order -in -council has recently been issued by the department of trade and commerce with regard to glass bottles used by the various oil stations and garages throughout the country. Many different styles, a number of which give short measure are used so that the department is standardizing the receptacles to be used ; `Bottles used as measures for the sale of oil shall be made of clear uncoloured glass, and cylinndrieal in shape. The capacity line is to be clearly defined, and is not to exceed one tenth of an inch in width. The capacity of the bottle alsoshall be clearly shown, and the bottles shall bear the name or other identification mark of the company responsible for their use and distribution." The new order will come definitely into effect an March 31. • Hats were first made by a Swiss at Paris in 1404.
