The gardener must now cease dreaming and prepare for action. Whether a new garden is to be start- ed or an old one re-conditioned, de- cisions must be made and upon these depends not perhaps success or fail- ure but whether the garden shall be commonplace or distinctive, perma- nent or transitory, The ocireum- stances of the individual will natural- ly direct the trend of thought in gar- dening as in other things. The home owners will tend towards perman- ancy, because he hopes to enjoy the fruits of his efforts for yedrs to come while the occupant of rented prem- ises will be enticed by the more ephemeral illurements of the garden of annual flowers. There need be no hard and fast rule in this matter. The garden of perennial and shrubs is all the better for the brightening effect in late autumn of 'a few an- nuals while the tenant need not hesi- tate to plant perennials becau#e in most cases he can take them to his new home as easily as he can household furniture.

When the entrants in the National Balloon Race take the air from St. Joseph, Mo., on the afternoon of May 1st, each will be equipped with a radio receiving set with which weather Trepdrts will be received from 25 broadcasting stations, fn- cluding WEAR, the station of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., at Cleveland, Ohio. During the 1924 race from San Antonio, Texas, which was won by the Balloon "Goodyear IIL." pilots Wade T. Van Orman and W. K. Wol- lam were kept constantly informed of weather conditions and were able, as a result, to avoid heavy rain- storms which forced other entrants to land in Kansas and Iowa. It is expected that the Balloons in this year's race will pass to the north and east of St. Joseph, so that the race may end in Canada or along the north Atlantic seaboard. On the night of this year's race, May 1st, the Goodyear Station, WEAR, at Cleveland (390 meters) will in addition to keeping in touch with the Balloons, enter with a spec- ial "Goodyear Night" programme. suitable to the conditions in your gar- den 80 that you will be armed with the necessary information when the time comes to make up your order for fall bulbs. Standard Perennials. But the gardener is more concern- ed at the moment with the selection of the standard herbaceous peren- nials that must be planted as soon as the ground can be got ready to receive them if indeed this prepara- tory work was not done last fall. A word about selection, Many begin- ners do not discriminate between meritorious and common place ma- terials when making up their plant- ing lists. Do not buy an unnamed iris or paeony because it is cheap nor pay an extrayagant price for an untried novelty. / It is futile for the ordinary home gardener, who is not growing for the show table, to attempt to keep abreast of the hybridisers, especially in iris, delphiniums and phlox be- cause novelty succeeds novelty in such rapid succession that what is new to-day soon becomes obsolete, or finds its level with the wealth of standard material available for the embellishments of the garden. Some bewilderment may be experi- enced by the prospective gardener when confronted by the long }ist of irises in some of the catalogues. He will not go far wrong in choosing the following baker's dozen: White, Florentina; white with lavender suf- fusion, Camelot; white standards purple falls, Rhein Nixe; yellow, Mrs. Sherwin Wright; yellow stan- dards purple falls, Princéss Victoria Louise; yellow standards maroon What the World Is As See by Popular Mecha ISH Mag Doing ml ik i H £ £ £ i i 7 i 8 ¥ if i il g i f 5 i Fi ¥ HE I i : 8 ! 3 [ | i i i i J i il iT § his 3 have commenced to bloom, others are | ASSETS Dec. 31st, 1887 165 Thousand Dellars Dec. 31a, 1924 53 Million Dollars The Company's New Name Office at Toroote, sccupicd for your special needs.

The list could be added to al- most indefinitely, but this will suf- fice for a start. Irises do not give of their best when crowded and over- shadowed by robust neighbours in the perennial borders. If there is room give them special place in the sun and for late summer bloom, ' inter- plant with the gladiolus or an annual with foliage not too dense to shade the rhizomes of the iris, which should be half exposed on the surface. About Peonies. Peonies can be planted in the spring, but it is advisable to defer it until the season's growth has been completed in September or early Oc- tober.. Peonies do better as specimen in the pereniial border than iris, but they too will bloom more abundantly it given a special situation and well prepared ground. Bvéry peony collection should in- clude some of the graceful Imperial Japanese types. Three good ones are white, Isani Guduf; carmine pink, Tokyo; bright carmine, akalu. Visit peony collections in the neighbor- hood and compare varieties while they are in bloom. Then order the ones you like best for September delivery. There is no more stately plant for the perennial border than the del- phinlum. Of recent years many out- standing named varieties have been produced. : Amongst them might be named Sir. Douglas Halg, Millicent Blackmore, Mrs. A. J. Watson, the Alake 'and Statuaire Bude. Unfor- tanately plants of these varieties are not easily procurable in Canada ow- ing to the difficulty of bringing them across the Atlantic, but seed can be had of these and other fine named kinds and the gardeners who sows seed always has the chance of produc- ing something just a little better. For August bloom reliance mast be placed upon the sumptuous and sweetly fragrant phlox decussata-- reminiscent of Grandmother's gar- den. A 'specialist's catalogue will list several hundred varieties, but if the home gardener starts with twelve &00d ones he will by the simple pro- cess of division of the roots in spring have not only enough for his own needs but a sutpius to exchange with his neighbors. A dozen good ones: Elizabeth Campbell, Frau Anton By- chner, Flora Horning, G. A. Strobh- tein, La Mahdi, 'Rijnstroom, Von Hockberg, William Ramsay, Mont Blanc,' Baron Von Dedem, Mrs. Ethel Pritchard." Perennial Asters. And for all fall bloom do not for- get the merits of the perennial asters or Michaelmas daisies, They will carry the garden right up to the threshold of winter and they are so hardy that a moderate freeze does not affect them. The kinds most suit- able for the perennial border or for plantings apart are those belonging to the Novae Belgili and Novae Ang- liae sections. Tlese asters are great "Will yous sac : LITTLE fo help - + vy favorites with English gardeners and they have received much attention from the hybridizers who have turned out an almost alarming number of named varieties. They are' worth growing and the late autumn gar den, especially where it is too cold for the outdoor varieties of chrysan- themums to survive, would be depriv- ed of much of its interest and beauty if they were omitted from the plant- ing lst, With the exception of the iris the 'plants enumerated are gross feed- ers and to do their best required deeply dug and wel enriched ground. = A little trouble but it pays. ke EE ---------- $d i Black lace is a very popular trim- ming on dresses of white chiffon or white taffeta.
