A seed bed in a partly shaded place, but not directly under the leaves of trees, is the place for perennials. They must be grown all this year for flowers next season, so: that there is advantage .in sowing ‘them in the open border, and: hazards -are substantially. reduced . by growing them in a seed bed, somewhat elevated from the surrounding surface and protected by a wooden curb around it. To prepare a seed bed, select a location sheltered from the full force of both wind and sun if possible. Spade up the soil thoroughly and see that the top soil is pulverized as in a seed box.
If the soil is heavy lighten it by mixing in torpedo sand. Heavy soil which crusts easily is a poor medium in which to sow seeds. It should be easily firmed over the seeds, to enable the tiny roots to penetrate downward without resistance, while the sprouts emerge to the surface wtihout struggling with a hard crust or heavy clods. Plant food may be applied not exceeding 1 pint to a bushel of soil.
Delphiniums ‘ and hollyhocks, are the tallest perennials which no perennial border can well do without. When it comes to those of medium height ranging between three and four feet, there is a wdie selection. These, however, form the mainstays for sheets of bloom at various times during the season. For the ean}iest display, starting in midMay, as the tulips wax and wane,
daisies and the columbines.
In the latter there is a wide latitude as to blooming season, extending from late April through July. The pyrethrums come all at once in great sheets of bloom for & month, with later scattering bloom,
of cutting materials, the longstemmed daisies, sometimes growing three feet tall,” keeping for days when cut. They range in color from pure white to palest pinks, rose, scarlet, maroon and crimson.
Cover Seed Bed
When seeds are sown in the summer, it is good practice to cover the seed bed with a piece of wet burlap to keep the bed moist until the seeds germinate. In sowing, take care not to sow too thickly. Fine seed may be mixed with sand to sow them more evenly in the row, using two or three times as much sand as there is- seed. Large seed may be placed individually to aviod crowding plants. Seedings must be transplanted as soon as they have reached two or three inches in height and in midsummer the nursery row to which they are moved should be slightly shaded in a location where water may be supplied when needed. Many of the annual- flowers which are wanted in the garden can be moved there directly from the seed bed.

JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—My wife and I have a friend, a woman’ in her early thirties. Two men are attentive to her and they are as different as night and day. One is a nice, pleasant chap and the other is as onery as any man can be. What gets" me is that our friend prefers the latter instead of the much nicer chap. To top it all off my wife upholds our friend's choice. She reproaches me when I get out of step but approves of this rotten egg’s advances. I have threatened to throw the fellow out of my house which has caused scenes in my home. What are women coming to? Must the decent sort go into seclusion while women live the best part of their lives with rogues and then select a decent man out of that seclusion to settle down with? CLIFF.
Answer—Why be upset? It is not your wife, but just a woman friend who has chosen a man of whom you disapprove. It shouldn't affect you cne way or the other. Of course your wife will defend her friend’s choice’ when you aftack it. Had you been smart enough Lo say nothing, she might have made a different estimate of the man. When you complain that your wife condones conduct in another man which she condemns in you, it suggests that you may be a trifie jealous that he can get away with. behavior which is forbidden to you. Often the people we despise most heartily have characteristics which we have overcome in ourselves. Instead of saying, “There but for the grace of God go I,” we denounce the other fellow in no uncertain terms for having faults similar to those we have Pepressed, We are more merciful with ourselves. Are you sure the man is such a rogue? For the sake of argument let us admit that he is, Perhaps he is more virile, more mas-
