i Christmas BY MARJORIE HOWE DiXON Gifts that recall the joy and glory of summer in the garden will be greatly enjoyed by the garden lovers. Plants, Seeds, bulbs, small and unusual tools, even this $hoi t list presents fascinating possibilities to the person who delights in the appropriate in giving. One of the chief things to be considered, perhaps, is whether the Mend's garden is an old one or whether it is in its infancy. Of one thing, one may always rest assured, no gardtner is over satisfied, always there is a tree, a shrub, a flower needed to complet the collection: always there is a new or novel tool desired to make gardening n greater delight. The friend who supplies the smallest of these needs is sure of a harvest of gratitude. Announcing Delayed Gift. A pleasant way to anhounce the future arrival of something for the garden is to send a small fore-runner on Christmas morning. If you wish to tell your friend that you have paid for a rare evergrcon that the nurseryman will send at the right time send p. note to that effect with a bcx of tiny Christmas trees and bright berries with which to fill the window box. Such a box will be both a present joy and a l>romise of a permanent joy to come. If instead of an evergreen a collection of rosebushes has been ordered. a single rose may be sent with the note of greeting that announces the fact. 1 At 1 I Ywl1i Find j i ou jt HO If | 1^1^ ?H I IVIackc $ H. ? tS&UF vr'Lffi'-> )' 'j*?r-v>^c?y^~'- rV&r* -1j>^ '>'i-t ?,v; Gifts By Gar< Perhaps the recipient of the Christmas gift only rents her house, yet finds the garden necessary to her happiness. To such an one, send a collection of the seeds, of the less commonly used annuals. Grandmother's garden knew some of these as Painted Tongue, Mourning Bride, Butterfly Flower. Seedraen sell them as Sal piglosis, scmzamnus, .-m-huium. i u these add single annual chrysanthemums, sweet sultan, bush morning glories, varieties of the glorified Phlox Drummondi end the splendid improved petunias. Even if these r.re not entirely new to her, the garden lady will l)e pleased. A Present of Vines. Perhaps the garden which is to have c Christmas present needs some climbers. A present gift would be a collection of seeds of annual vines, such as the balloon vine, the cypresses, including the new cardinal climber, the Brazilian morning glory, and the graceful Mumndia vine in its many colors. A garden new or old needs a collection of such summer bulbs as the Zephyr lillies and Hyac'nthus candicanes, and always there Is room for such old time sweet smelling things as lavender, bergamont and the "musk" of our grandmothers, which the growers call mimulus mochatus. Do you prefer to send something besides seeds or plants? Then why not a collection of clear, slender glass vases of different heights?

Lending a Personal Touch. If the intense personal touch is desired, home designed gifts may be made. A wide hat basket, painted or dyed at home, together with a stout pair of gardener's shears, and a pair of garden gloves will be appropriate. There are no handler small tools for the garden than a steel-tined kitchen fork, and long tin spoon. Two such 'orks, one spoon, and a small watering pot, the sprinkler and t!-? fork and the spoon handles to be painted a gay favorite color, would make a set both useful and acceptable. Another home made gift might be a dozen round stakes a foot long, and a dozen flat ones, four inches iong, all painted a pleasant gay green. The first would be used to tie up budding plants, while the others could have pasted on them, the names of seeds sown and would be. used as markers A still different type of gift might consist of colored prints old gardens designed for framing, or, what would also please a zealous gardener a scraphook for garden snap shots and treas ured newspaper clippings on such information as most appeals to the recipient's heart. tgaaemaemememe?e* -Date | irticles S IDEAL FOR ? tIFTS BE- -* rgest and Nicest line of gjf ailable for selection in 1 or one of our line of Sj rove tine for Christmas. 3a :ci,es? 1 plcte than it is at this J* ic includes the famous J? ps?none better.
