Just st^n "pen nam?," together wit)) your own name und addto*w, the latter for our information only. We art' privileged to print the following letter from a Southed, lady to a friend in the North, hut who has her winter residence in Camden? separated by hundreds; of miles of distance but bound together by their mutual love of flowers and of Camden The writer (we have her gracious permission to mention) is Mrs. N. C. Arnett: "The morning mail broutfht the box of flowers sent from your gardens in New Hampshire and as the package tame by special delivery, the contents were still fresh and fragrant. It was truly interesting to see (lowers grown far away. It seemed that we were again in days of April, for the immense sprays of lihn iii varying s hades, the apple blossoms each flower measuring mete than two inches across, the a/alea of a deep pink, would have bloomed in Camden :n our early prijtg. In the box wa.- a ilowt r thai we i all our "wild p.nk," hui your.-. was a iieao nly ; ' ade !' blue! f oaid tiie (idlVle11; el . ili.. i ? ha nge i h? , 1111,r .'

Many friends came in to see the flowers and we all thank you for thinking of how much real joy the gift would bring to folks who arc interested in flowers here, there and every who re. "Since you a.-k me to tell you what I am doing, will say that I am still planner, planter and hoer in my realm of flowers and since June and July are such busy and important months, every day is full of activity in the garden. So many seed must be planted now to get the best results from the plants. Sweet William, an old-fashioned plant, has been restored to favor, and many flower-lovers will sow these seed now, so that the plants will begin blooming e^ly next March. The Newport Pink is n color everyone likes. Hollyhock seed must be sown before midsummer for next spring's blossoming. No garden is complete without these stately plants. There is a very deep rose a new shade thai is quite handsome. "The cedar in our yard that you admire so much, because its .abundantly borne berries are such a decided blue in midwinter, combining with the greeff of the branches to make the tree quite distinctive, seemed too beautiful to enjoy selfishly, so I am planting lots of the seed, to grow plants that may be given to others who want a worth-while tree. The small cedar plants grow rapidly so are well worth handling. "As Pahlia plants are now several feet high, strong cuttings may be rut from brunches ami set out in thu ground, so thut by fall, another bulb umy be ready to go into winter quarters, The cutting will ^looni this year. "It is interesting to have growing in our gardens each suiqmer?"something old"-?zinnias, marigolds, petunias and perennial phlox -all tried and true.

There are many other color of l.antana flowers and all of our gardens should grow several of the* I plants. "The Ragged Robins and Larkspur have ended their blooming for this year, but we know that next year, hundreds of plants will grow from seed buried in the soil -while blooming this year. We counted seventeen different color combinations in the Ragged Robins this spring and just us many with the Larkspur, so their beds shall not bo disturbed during the summer and fall. There are small coral vine plants grown from seed planted in boxes in February to be transplanted out-of-doors. The vines will bloom a few sprays this full and next summer will be covered with innumerable sprays of rose-colored flowers and heart-shaped leaves. We often hear this vine called ""Mexican Rose,"?the real name is "Antigonon I/eptopus." "All admirers of the single yellow cosmos?"Klotidyke" which has beautified our gardens for the past few years will he interested to know that J a double form of this flower will be j grown in Camden gardens this year as it is no more difficult to grow than the single kind and is very lovely. "There are many more interesting "flower facts" I should like to tell you, but will say only this in closing: in a letter I send later, will tell you 1 of the late summer and fall garden ! work to be done. I'm going to tell j you. too. of the loveliest pink rose that grows!" Stone Succumbs I After Operation: Spai "liiiibi.irvr. .1 uno IP.?Madi.-.on Stirt*-.

Anony mous Let tern. A little more than a year ago 1 received a fat letter through the mails. The epistle started out eonfessin' all my sins and before ending told many of which I am not guilty. Was I mad when I discovered there was no name signed to the long letter? First I believed so-andso was the guilty one. Then another and still another. I tore the darned old letter into jiblets and dumped the pieces into the waste basket and tried to forget the incident. It comes to my attention that within the past month or so someone here in Monroe has written a dozen or more unsigned letters to as many ! citizens. To say the least, the letters; caused a furore. These letters, I am; 'told, warned husband to look after i wifie and vicy-versy. All the letters! were anonymous. Then the recipients; beg"an to suspect first one and then; another of the dirty work. And it is j quite . probable that innocent persons! are today receiving unjust censure for doing (feeds of which they are I entirely innocent. But as I have said before in CatchAll-Column, I think of the anonymous writer of scurrilous and scan-, dulous stuff as a cowardly cur;* a; beastly imitation of a human being; j a miserable, contemptible thing; made in the outward shape of man,| but with the mental and moral in- < stincts of a hyena; a vile, odious,abominable. villianous, execrable,! pusillanimous, dad-binged reptile notj fit to be mentioned in the same j breath with a respectable skunk.
