Robert Collins, 1766 Howard St., specializes in bright fall flowers, Ta notably scarlet sage and cannas.

ONE WAY to have a Powers model yard when all the neighbors’ gardens have gone to the dog days is to raise flowers nat: urally at their best in late summer. Scarlet sage and cannas, for example, are special favorites of Robert Collins, 1766 Howard St, The sage makes a glowing

A white picket fence, window boxes of petunias on garage and back porch windows, a bird bath and comfortable benches make the Collins’ yard a pleasant spot en either a hot summer evening or a cool fall day.—(By M. 8.) ‘
