CLARENDON COUNTY DiSTRIBUTOI See Us For D FIoWsEFkoM EARLY, SPRING TO LATE FALL How to Plan For A Continuous Suc cesison of Bloom in the Hardy Garden. By F. F. Rockwell, Horticultural Of course, if you care anything 'about flowers, you have some hardy flowers around the place; perennials as they are called, because they come back every year all by themselves, without your having to do anything about it. Among the first hardy flowers that one would like to have are peonies and iris. You know the gorgeous blobms of the fornir. The Joy of Having a Succesison of "Bloom" But why stop with two or three kinds of hardy flowers, as so many people do? Do you realize that there are dozens of perennials just as hardy, just as well able to take care of themselves, and just as generous with their gifts of color and good cheer as are the peonies an diris? Why not select a half dozen or a dozen different things that you have not grown before to set out this spring, so that you can know the plea sure of having flowers in your gar den, or to cut for bouquets for your table all season through?

A dozen different varieties will be enough to give you some flowers al most ever week from April to Octo ber. How to Make Sure of Having Flowers Every Month. Most of the annual flowers, such as asters or sweet peas or marigolds, bloom early or late largely according to the time they are planted-unless they happen to run into dry weather, when they often dry up and fail with out blooming at all. But every "per ennial" has a definite season of bloom and will come into flower at this time year after year, with only a few daya variation. So generous are many of the perdnnials, however, that they con tinue flowering from the time that they first come into bloom until frost. So you see it is quite possible to know that you will have flowers every month throughout the summer and fall from earliest spring until after frost. In fact some of the perennials are so hardy that they will go right on blooming even after a hard frost! In the following list I have mention ed only a few of the many splendid hardy perennials which may be ob tained at a very moderate price and are easily grown. The kinds which I have mentioned are absolutely hardy not only in their capacity to withstand the coldest winter, but also in their ability to look after themselves with the least possible attention. The times given for their periods of bloom are approximate; they may be a little earlier in the far south or in a forward season, or a little later in a backward season or in the ex tremie north. April. Moss Pink (Plox subulata) This is the little iow growing groundl cover plant that makes such a bright spot of color in the spring, before most other living things have realized that winter has gone. It wvill hold its own against grass and neglect. April. Hardy Alyssum. Sometimes called "Golden Tuft" because of its clusters of bright yellow flowers, growvs but 12 inches or so high. May. lily of The Valley. When this delightful, fragrant little flower will go on blooming year after year, undler absolute neglect, it seems hard to undlerstandl why there should no be a patch of it near almost every house in the 'country. May. Columbine. The "hybirds" showv many bright colors.

Should have good rich soil. August. Golden Glow (Rudbeckia). Extremely hardy, good for planting against the barn or garage, or in any out of the way place where a mass of color is wanted; six feet high. August. Flame Flower, or Red-hot poker Plant (Tritoma). Blooms from August on, making a most gorgeous display. Also fine for cutting. September. Japanese Anemone. Not so well known as most of the above but a marvelously beautiful flower. The big white "wind-flower" blossoms are born on long graceful stems; especially fine for cutting. September. Hardy chrysanthemums. An almost endless range of shades and colors is obtainable in these beautiful last lingering envoys of 'summer. Every suburban place, every farm home, should have an abundance of these extremely hardy flowers. Plan now to set out some or all of the above this spring. Make sure of having flowers all summer long. NEW SORGHUM HYBRIDS SHOW PRONOUNCED VALUE Crosses between kafir and feterita give a promising field for the improve ment of cultivated varieties of sorg hum. Selected strains of this hybrid h.. been quite uniform in their habit of growth from the third gerne ration to the seventh. The most extensive series of hy bridization experiments yet carried out with sorghum have been in prog ress for the last six years at the field stations of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture in northern Tex as. These experiments are being con ducted by the Office of Forage Crop Investigations in cooperation with the Texas Experiment Station, and are being primarily toward the develop ment of improved varieties of grain and forage sorghums, and, in addition the investigation of genetic problems. Over 50 separate crosses were made between different varieties of culti vated sorghum. 1any of these hy brids seem to be of no practical value, but the kafir-feterita hybrids, how ever, are very promising, and several selections from this group have been pronlounced valuable by sorghum ex perts.
