New 'Mixed'. Borders
Bloom Most Of Year
In recent years the name
"perennial border" has gradual-
ly been replaced by the term
"mixed. border."
This has come about, because
now perennial borders are filled
with a variety of plants including
annuals, perennials, biennials,
spring, summer and fall flower-
ing bulbs and even some dwarf
flowering shrubs.
A11 this is done to create a
maximum show of bloom during
the entire growing season from
early spring until .the frosts of
autumn.
With a suitable background
such as a hedge or fence, there
should be a low -growing group of
plants at the front, a medium
height group in the centre, and
a tall -growing group at the back.
A border with lawn or walks
on all sides would have the tall -
growing group in the centre with
the medium and low -growing
plants located so there is a grad-
ual drop from the centre to 'the
outer edges of the bed.
For those just starting a new
border or re -designing an old one,
the most important considera-
tions are width, background and
correct preparation of the soil.
Most borders are far too narrow
to accommodate the three groups
of plants mentioned earlier. Six
feet' wide would be an absolute
minimum with eight to 10 feet
being ideal. Flowers won't grow
well if they are too crowded, yet
the tendency is to try to add just
one more type of plant in an al-
ready overcrowded border.
A. hedge makes a suitable
background since it is usually
green and will grow as high or
higher than any plants in the bor-
der, The hedge should be one
with fibrous roots which stay
close to the plant and do not
reach out in the border to rob the
surrounding plants.
Where no suitable 'hedge is
available ,a painted wooden
fence may be used to good advan-
tage. Whatever is chosen, make
sure there is plenty of mainte-
nance room between the hedge
or fence and the plants. In the
case of the hedge it will need to
be pruned and cultivated more
than once each year. Wooden
fences will need painting and re-
pairing from time to time,
Whether your soil is sandy or
heavy, the preparation is the
same, Dig or till into the soil a
quantity of both humus and fer-
tilizer. The humus .can be either
peat moss, material front the
home compost heafi or well rotted
barnyard inanure, The humus
will open up the heavy soils, let
the oxygen reach the roots and
improve drainage,
In the lighter soils, the humus
hangs on to the moisture and
prevents 'the water and fertilizer
front leaking away quickly. DO
this as soon as the soil is Work-
able in the "Spring,
In addition to the perennials,
plan t0 include in the holder Wi-

portulaca, verbenasr pinks and
petunias,
The various spring, summer
and fall flowering bulbs can be
scattered in groups in the front
and middle of the border. They
should be marked with stakes so
they won't be interfered with
during cultivatidn and planting
when the leaves have ripened
and died away. The dainty white
snowdrops and the more spec-
tacular blooms of the crocus will
be the first to flower.each spring.
Mixed in with the early flow-
ering bulbs can be the violas and
pansies. These plants will be in
continuous bloom, provided they
'are regularly picked until the
really hot weather arrives. Then,
if they are cut right back and
fertilized again they will give the
front of the border renewed
bloom during the late suminer
and fall. In most localities they
will need replanting each year.
Graciousness, Comfort
In Modernized Homes
While the younger set thinks
in terms of ranch -types and
split-levels in which to set up
housekeeping, there is still some-
thing about the charm and gra-
c,iousness of an older house that
means "home" to those who
•
started their married lives two
or three decades ago. That is
not to say, of course, that many
of the reftnements of the 1956
model' homes—the extra bath-
room, automatic heating, finish-
ed basement—don't have a great
appeal to people of more mature
years.
In fact, says the Canadian In-
stitute of Plumbing and Heating,
a great many ,owners of older
houses are combining the charm
and graciousness of their homes
with the comforts of present-
day living by modernizing in just
this way. And their task has
been made easier by the fact
that these improvements can
now be financed through a Home
Improvement Lo6n.. These loans,
made by the chartered banks to
home ,owners, carry very reason-
able rates of interest, and can
be repaid over'a period of years.
Among ,the many,ways in which
a house can be modernized, one
of the Nost popular is the in-
stallation of a new' bathroom
and the addition of either a sec-
ond bathroom or a powder room.
In many cases, a second bath-
room is out of the question be-
cause of the problem of space.
In very few houses, however, is
it impossible, to find space for
a powder room. These conveni-
ent. additions to the amenities of
the house can be placed in as
small an area as 4 ft. by 2 ft.
Since they are often most useful
when'• located on the ground
floor, a hall cupboard, pantry
or the area' under a staircase

will frequently provide ari ideal
location.
Installation of a new heating
system, of course, opens up many
possibilities of modernization. To
begin, with, the new heating plant
itself, being more compact than
older models, perhaps automat-
ically fired, easy to service and
attractive in appearance, •makes
it possible to convert the base-
ment into a useful recreation
area as a rumpus or hobby room.
Upstairs, old heating units are
replaced by•concealed radiators,
baseboard panels and similar
units designed to blend and en-
hance modern ideas of decor. In
the living room, a new "picture
window" may replace the old-
fashioned one because new types
of low radiators or baseboard
panels can be installed beneath
it to form an effective barrier
between winter's cold and the
comfort of the room.
In these and similar ways, the
atmosphere of yesteryear can
be combined with the comforts
and amenities of modern living.
