Gardening for Fragrance Gardeners all over the land are ~ rediscovering the charm of frag- I rance. For a long period color i. schemes and changing styles of de- [, sign have commanded so much at- I tention that the old art of plant- | ing for scent was almost forgot- ; ( ten. , With the trend changing, how- ( ever, the nose is competing with j the eye in making final decisions on candidates for spring planting, i The gardener who would be up to ‘ < date must become acquainted with j the plants to grow for fragrance. ( For the same reason, perhaps, that the sense of smell is accentuated in the blind, we become more conscious of garden fragrance when [ ’ the brilliant light of the summer | 1 day fades, and twilight makes ofj the garden a. fairyland. Some flow-, j ers whose perfume is not detected, in the daylight become fragrant at ‘ 1 night. Others give off at night a < perfume different from their day-p light scent. The old-fashioned tuberose which i suffered a lapse of popularity for J i many years because it was too of- i ten used as a funeral flower, is re-1 f turning to favor in gardens, being' < no longer used in funerals.. Its 1 odor, too heavy for the taste ofp I many for indoor use, is delightfulj £

— be spreid over a period of several years. Assurance of three customers to a mile will be sufficient to extend the lines, Couch said. If the experiment in the four communities is successful the power company hopes to borrow money from federal agencies to finance the rural program in the three states where Couch companies operate. Power for the increased service would come from present sources. Principal source i.s the 100.600 kilowatt steam-generated plant in the gas fields of Sterlington, La. Augmenting the steam generators in sui.'vlying power for the excessive daily >ind seasonal peaks are Carp nter and Remmel dams on the Ouachita River near Hot Springs with capa ities of 58,000 and 12,006 kilowatt {res pectively. Another Dam Ready Another dam on the Ouachita has been contemplated for some time. It may he started'with t’aa introduction of the rural development. Announcement of the Arkansas Power ,nd Light company came after strong agitation had started in several cities. North Little Rock and Helena principally, to extend TVA power into Arkansas. Potential hydro-electric power on the undeveloped White River in Northeastern Arkansas has been estimated variously by the Mississippi Valley committee of the PWA and other engineers at from 300,000 to more than 500,000 kilowatts on continuous service. o —— Born With Teeth Santo.

[ when diffused on the evening air. j A few bulbs planted along the garden path when danger of frost is over, will be delightfully evident I on summer evenings. One of the most fragrant evejning flowers is the night scented I stock, usually listed as matthiola bicornis. A somewhat straggly, lilac-flowered plant, not too attractive in the daylight, it emits in the evening, or after a daylight show-1 er, a cloud of sweetness. It should be sown where it is to grow. The sweet scented tobacco, niiotiana alba, is surpassed by none in delightful fragrance. Its long tubular flowers close in midday, but open as evening approaches and give forth their rich perfume. Sweet Rocket, a hardy perennial which grows easily from seed, is a most fragrant flower. It blossoms in early June, 2 to 3 feet tall, with heads of star flowers resembling hardy phlox, white or lavendar pink. Look for it in catalogs under hesperis matronalis. It was Marie Antoinette’s favorite. Evening primroses, ocnotheras. are native American flowers of notable evening fragrance. Some varieties are hardy perennials, flowering from June to October, others are grown as annuals. They like dry soil with plenty of lime, and their fragrance is distinctive I and delicate.
