Then as a last reason why we will all want 1t is the fatc that the flowers are delicately fragrant. Radiance is an outstanding hybrid pettunia with rich ceriserose flowers, which have mahogany veins and yellowish throats. The flowers of Radiance are single, measuring two inches across and are very numerous. The plant commences blooming early and continues throughout the rest of the growing season. A third petunia, First Lady, is a dwarf variety, very prolific with most beautiful blush-pink flowers, often measuring 2's inches across. The plants are usually very vigorous and erect in their habit of growth. 8 = ” PETUNIA, VIOLET GEM bears charming rich, violet-blue flowers borne on compact miniature plants only six inches tall.

It grows about nine inches tall, is very bushy and covered with vellow and maroon flowers from late summer until frost, and last, but not least, of the reasons why we should try it is the fact that it comes into flower in nine weeks from seed.

BRITISH HOME LOSSES SLIGHT

English Loan Societies Say Damage Is Smaller Than Expected.

Times Speeinl WASHINGTON, April 25—~War damage to British homes financed by building societies has been relatively small, the Federal Home Loan Bank Review reports in the first authoritative article of its kind published in the United States. Despite heavy German bombing raids on a number of large cities, the damage to private homes has been far less than expected. Steps are being taken in the British Parliament to have the Government share the losses on an insurance

basis so that these burdens will not

fall too heavily owners, One large building society having mortgages on about 300,000 properties reported for 1940 that it had only 480 homes destroyed, 2000 badly damaged but repairable, and 7000 slightly damaged. A smaller society reported only 87 properties seriously damaged or destroyed. For the building societies as a group, the havoe seems to have been mitigated by the fact that most of them have their loans invested over a wide area of England, Scotland and Wales. Thus, even the destruction of a single city would affect but a relatively small proportion of the total mortgages held by any one instiution. British building socities as a whole have mortgages cn about 1,500,000 properties at the present time,
