NEED8 YOUR HELP
In another place in fills paper will
bo found an appeal from the Camden
hospital for funds to make additions
and repairs. This Is one of the greatest
institutions In this county and
haa been of untold help to the poor
and needy It has outgrown Its present
quarters and the hoard of directors
asks your help In making these
improvements. It 1h to he hoped that
the appeal will meet with ;i r;ei >
response.
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

seed on the Highway" campaign Do
