September, GLADIOLI, ASTERS, ZINNIAS: Can you picture 18,000 gladioli, blooms, with colors in absoultely gorg- eous profusion? - That is the, "piece de resistance" of Mr. W. J. Cooks garden this year, Itis an veritable blaze of color. Orange, criinson, scar- let, .white, pink, yellow, blue, violet spikes outlined 'against the delicate green of the gladioli leaf. On exam- ining them more closely, the beauti- ful harmony of colors2 red shading to purple, shell pink centred with ro se, pure white with a mauve centre, blazing scarlet, 'yellow with a rose dot deep down in the throat, violet shading to indigo, name any color and you can see it. You have 18,000 chances, Then the aster beds are in their full glory. Here again the -full range of shades, but in our opinion, they Bre over -shadowed by .the brilliant zinnias. One of the easiest flowers to grow, according to Mr, Cook—when they flower they are a sight to repay any amount of time and trouble. Dull pastel shades, and brilliant ones, riv- alling the gladioli.We think they were our favorites. • DEATH- Or JOHN Ii. MCCOOL. The death 'occurred suddenly on Saturday, August 8th, of John FI.

September, GLADIOLI, ASTERS, ZINNIAS: Can you picture 18,000 gladioli, blooms, with colors in absoultely gorg- eous profusion? - That is the, "piece de resistance" of Mr. W. J. Cooks garden this year, Itis an veritable blaze of color. Orange, criinson, scar- let, .white, pink, yellow, blue, violet spikes outlined 'against the delicate green of the gladioli leaf. On exam- ining them more closely, the beauti- ful harmony of colors2 red shading to purple, shell pink centred with ro se, pure white with a mauve centre, blazing scarlet, 'yellow with a rose dot deep down in the throat, violet shading to indigo, name any color and you can see it. You have 18,000 chances, Then the aster beds are in their full glory. Here again the -full range of shades, but in our opinion, they Bre over -shadowed by .the brilliant zinnias. One of the easiest flowers to grow, according to Mr, Cook—when they flower they are a sight to repay any amount of time and trouble. Dull pastel shades, and brilliant ones, riv- alling the gladioli.We think they were our favorites. • DEATH- Or JOHN Ii. MCCOOL. The death 'occurred suddenly on Saturday, August 8th, of John FI.
