I`\rIIl|v_|llD HI rwlvuu-nu ------ Annuals are an essential in the 1 perennial border. This may sound ' paradoxical. but if the border is to yield a bright display for the space occupied. annuals must be used to give bloom when the perennials have finished, as few of the latter have more than a..month of bloom. The usual .plan is to arrange clumps of annuals to mask perennials that have done their duty. suchas Afri- can marl,2*olds or zinnias. to hide tlelphiniums, the annual flowers coming along after perennials have been out down following their first bloom. A few early blooming annu- als. planted in amongst the tulips will cover up the dying foliage of the latter. These annuals, too. will` give colour after the first `burst of bloom of the perennial is past and before the later sorts, such as phlox have come on. In the new perennial bed, too, annuals will hold the fort the first year while their longer lived fellows are getting established. Do not be content with the same flowers and vegetables year after year. Certain locations and soil will suit certain types of plants. but there is no reason why some of t'he newer sorts should not fit in as well .-... O-Janna nh-nnv nrnvnn, Tn the S0l`tS S`llDLll(l IIUI.

These will come along safely no matter what sort of weather follows planting. Dis: a. trench about a foot deep and place a layer of rich soil or rotted leaves and manure in the bottom, cover- ing with about six inches of fine loam. Plant the sweet peas wbout ,three inches deep in this. and place them an inch apart. Rains. will gradually fill in the trench. and the ` plants will develop a very deep root growth which will protect them a- gainst summer droughts. To hurry ' growth apply nitrate of soda about an ounce dissolved in a gallon of water. about every two weeks dur- ing: May and June. These plants must get in their full growth before July. and on this account need pushing. Get the very best seed pos- sible and try some of the special shades. When the peas are well up and out of danger from out worms and other pests. `thin to four inches apart, and supply bruslh-work. strirnrs or poultry netting: at least a yard high for the vines to climb l\ n.
