HOME BEAUTIFICATION We have devoted much of our time and attention during the winter and early spring period in setting our foundation planting around the home. In .-the?cornors of thelawn, and along the crescent formation of our driveways and now It Is very opportune that we consider our flower gardens of annuals To grow the annuals to perfection requires much more careful cultivation than is generally given them Too often all the cultivation given them Is to scratch the surface of a bed or border and sow the seed In patches where If they escape the cut worms, they are left unrared for and unthlnnod giving as a result a weakly, sickly, short lived crop of blooms. The moat suitable drill for annuals is a sandy loam, deeply worked and moderately enriched with manure. The surface of the soil should he made line and level before seeds are sown. As a general rule, except sweet, April *?d?begftmRtg^rf Mitr ts fitting time to sow the hardy annuals. Small sedd should be Just covered with soil and no more, larger ones may he covered an Inch In depth. Thinning annuals Is vory Important and the neglect of this does more to injure the cause than anything else. Begin to thli^ the plants as soon as they caqjlpwRndled. The amount of thinning varies with the habit growth o fthe plant. Larkspurs, for Instance do not require so much thinning as plants of a more spreading or branching habit. All annuals should bo thinned, however, so that each plant can be developed properly. The season for bloom for annuals may be materially prolonged by removing all withered blossoms and so preventing the formation of seed pods When annuals are watered, the ground should bo thoroughly soaked, not just moistened on the surface. Some annuals require staking and this should be done before the plants h? ? oine lull grown. It is a common hut unsightly practice to tie annuals bundle like to a stake after they are fully developed. Annuals in beds should have some twiggy branches put among them Their growth will ultimately'""^Ude these supports Among the most useful of the an nuals are the china asters, phlox, cos mos, snapdragon, bachelor's button, zinnia, nasturtium and larkspur The art of color arrangement In a garden consists In so placing plants as to produce harmony or contrast in color, both in foliage and in flowers Harmonizing colors should be given a position In the center of the bod and the contrasting colors placed around the margin because tho eye comprehends the soft color In the center better than at tho margin Do not forget our "Scatter flower seed on the Highway" campaign Do your tut?Miss Margaret If Kewell, county home demonstration agent To Improve Bethune Building Washington.
