SUNDAY, JULY 22, 1851
HOUSEPLANTS get no chance. to sprawl lazily “through the summer in the
Courtney Moore yard at 6124 N. Meridian St. Instead they summer resort on a decorative wooden screen, built‘to order to provide extra privacy for a shady lounging nook. And the rest of Mrs. Moore's flower plans actually make lounging a possibility, For her flower garden is a series of panel beds,
All but one of them surround the long rear yard, make a picture winter as well as summer, when viewed from the big window at the house's rear,
Away from Hedge
MOVED a few feet out from the enclosing shrubbery hedge, flowers in the panel plantings get into no one-sided fights with greedy shrub roots for food and moisture. And the grass at the shrubbery’s feet doesn’t need mowing every whipstitch to keep it looking neat.
The panel idea means one whole bed for roses. Another combines a row of strawberry plants at the rear with tall zinnias in front. The front yard panel even now in midsummer boasts an array of different flowers. An edging of blue ageratum ties them neatly together, Other ideas carried out by Mrs. Moore include a delightful front entrance planting of tuberous begonias and fancy leaved caladiums splashing the front-of-house evergreens with color,

Your Yard—
Here are some typical midsummer queries. Is your garden problem among them?
Q—We moved late this spring into a new house. My husband has been busy finishing up the inside and hasn't had time to do much about the lawn, Would it be better to start the lawn now or wait? And when is the best time? A—Wait until September to sow your grass seed. But prepare the ground any time now so it will settle. Be sure to mix in as much humus as you can manage and fertilizer. (A lawn usually gets planted only once in a house's life-time and deserves a good start.
Q—I saw an odd shrub in bloom. Spikes of flowers. Any idea what it is? Where could I buy it? A—It sounds like the bilberg spirea that blossoms in July. It's available locally. * (Call for name of place.) ® » # .
Q—TI'd like to set a few more tomato plants but haven't been able to find any good - sized plants to buy. A neighbor says there's some way you can start them off old plants. give any help? A—Yes, layer branches of
