GROWINGPA �i ES FROM SEED.
The pansy is one qf,the most popu-
lar of early spring fiewering plants,
for, in addition ; to their precocious
habit of providing early blooms, the
pleats, if well cared for, will bloom
uninterruptedly .throughout summer
and fall. .During .the hottest months
the flowers will decrease in size, but
with the advent of coo'- nights and re-
freshing -rains they attain their spring
size and bloom as vigorously as ever.
The seed should be sewn during July
and August. If only a limited num-
ber of plants are required the seed is
best sown in a fiat, the soil in which
should be fresh and of a rather light
nature. The seed may either be sown
in rows or broadcast thinly, but it
must not be covered more than an
eighth of an inch and with quitelight
sandy soil that will not form a crust.
If a greater number of plants are to
be raised, a special • seed bed may be
made in a sheltered position in the
garden _or in the cold frame. Which-
ever IS used the soil should first be
deeply stirred and raked quite fine and
the seed sown in shallow drills, the
shills spaced three inchesapart Firm
the soil after sowing, using a level
piece of board for the purpose, then
waterthe bed with a fine spray so that
the sail may not be washed. The seed
bed, whether in scold frame or the'
open, is then covered with old sacking
or :burlap to obviate the necessity of
continuous' watering. All further wat-
axing previous to germination is given

apart with the rows four inches apart,
If a cold frame is not available the
bed should be made in a sheltered part
of the garden and it should be raised
a few inches to insure perfect drain-
age. A bed four feet wide, or five feet
at most, is the most suitable size,
and it should be three or four inches
higher than the "surrounding level.
Such beds are sometimes held in place
by fixing narrow strips of boards
around thein. To fit the plants so that
they will carry safely over winter,
growth is encouraged bystirring the
soil between the rows and watering
thoroughly and regularly during dry
weather. When the ground freezes,
the entire bed is covered with a three-
inch mulch of leaves, the leaves being
held in place by the .aid of light brush-
wood,

A HANDY APRON.
My helpful clothespin .apron '.gave
me an idea for an extremely -useful
apron to be worn while putting the
house in order each day. ' The apron
is made of stout cretonne, is suspend
ed from the shoulders and has a deep:
pocket completely across the front,
This generons-sized pocket saves' so'
many steps. The abandoned magazine

into my pocket and placed on the
magazine stand when I happen to go
to the luring roam instead ;of requiring
a special trip.
Usually by the time -I am ready to
go upstairs my' big pocket is full to
overflowing_ And it is seldom that a
room is put in order that something is.
not picked up that must be taken to
some other part of the house. It saves
so'many steps to place all these things
in. my apron pocket ' and 'gradually
plade them where they'' belong' as I

WHEN THE, PLIkS .COME..
WIiere there are child
sure to be hies in the house
how carefully one may screen. My
stand-by is a long -handled, home-made
fly -snapper. A two -foot piece of lath,
or other slender. stick, carefully split
one inch at the: end, and a four and
one-half by six-inch piece of wire
screen inserted, fastened by one or two
tacks, long` enough to head down on
the other side, makes a fly -snapper
long enough to reach ceiling or walls
and the children will delight to use it.
