GROWING PERENNIALS
By BESSIE L. PUTNAM.
For those who have not much time
to devote to the garden, there ia no
class of flowering plants more desira-
ble than the hardy perennials and
herbaceous plants like the peony.
Ti eso plants require but little atten-
tion.
One does not have to acquire a 11b-
«ral horticultural education in order
to know how to take care of them.
Most of us will do well to consider
ithe merits of this class of plants, leav-
ing the annuals to those who are here
ithis season and somewhere else next
[year.
Not that we would advise neg-
lecting annuals wholly, however, I do
Inot want to be understood as meaning
that, but simply that a collection of
hardy plants will be found so much
more satisfactory, all things consid-
ered, under the conditions of which
I have spoken, that their cultivation is
to be urged in preference to that of
the other class mentioned, which is
not satisfactory unless a good deal
■of time and labor is expended on it.
The impression seems to prevail
that annuals roquire next to no care,
and are therefore particularly adapted
to the use of the woman who has but
little time to devote to gardening.
The fact is, that to grow annuals
well you must give them a good deal
of attention, especially during the
:early part of the season, several times
.the amount of attention, indeed, that
will be required by a good-sized col-
lection of hardy plants.
Another argument in favor of this
clasB is that, once established, your
plants are good for an Indefinite pe-
riod. Your garden does not have to
be made every season.
' In spring the plants will need to
bo worked about, and freed from the
grass which will encroach upon their
territory, If allowed to do so; the soil
■will require fertilizing, and once in
three or four years the old plants will
be bettered by a division of their
roots.
This is about all this class of plants
will ask of you. A great many can
bo attended to in a day, you will find.
And the work is much easier than that
of making beds and pulling weeds.
One of the best perennials—perhaps
1 would be Justified in saying the best
—is the Hollyhock. This plant comes
In a wide range of colors—white, rose,
crimson, maroon, and yellow. It is a
profuse bloomer, and it does well in
almost any soil.
To secure the strongest effects from
it, it should be planted in groups of
from six to a dozen plants. If con-
trasting harmonious colors are plant-
ed together like white and pink, pink
and yellow, maroon and yellow or
white, the effect will be very fine. But
don't expect harmony if you put the
pink varieties alongside of the crim-
son or maroon sorts.
We have mostly double Hollyhocks
nowadays, but the single kinds are
well worth cultivation, especially
where a very strong and stately effect
la desired.
If the ,old flower stalks arc cut off
M soon as the buds on them nav#
developed quite frequently, new stalks
will be sent up late in the season.
In this way one may have flowers
from the Hollyhock until the coming
of cold weather.
A package of seed sown In May,
June or July, will give one dozen of
plants from which flowers can be ex-
pected the next season.
Delphinum, or Larkspur, Is an ex-
cellent plant when used in clumps.
We have no other bower of the some
rich dark shade of blue. I have seen
charming effects result from planting
pale-yellow Hollyhocks close by it—
this color and the intense blue of the
other producing a most striking com-
bination.
Where an exceedingly rich show
of color is desired, nothing equals
the Rudbeckia or "golden glow,"
Great clumps of it will be a solid mass
of the richest golden yellow for
weeks. For cutting, we have few
better flowers.
This plant is so aggressive In char-
acter that it should have a place in
the background where it can be al-
lowed to spread itself.
Dicentra is a most lovely flower,
and has the special merit of being an
early bloomer. The foliage of this
plant is almost as fine as Its flowers,
and the two combined make it one of
the most desirable plants.
I often wonder why the herbaceous
Spireas are not more extensively
grown. Certainly it is difficult to find
a more exquisitlvely lovely flower
than Spirea with its great plumelike
panicles and airy pink bloom.
The Peony need not be given spe-
cial commendation here, because I
only want to say that a garden with-
out this flower is not "living up to
its privileges."
If the Iris can be given a some-
what moist location, it Bhould find a
place in the amateur gardener's col-
lection always The German and Jap-
anese varieties are simply magnificent
in coloring and remarkably stately in
general effect when grown ia large
groups.
Every collection ought to Include at
least a dozen of the most distinct va-
rieties of perennial phlox. This plant
is to the outdoor garden what the
geranium is to the window garden.
Anyone can grow it. It is a profuse
bloomer. It comes in a wide range
of colors. Group It in order to secure
best results, but keep the lilac and
magenta varieties away from the pink
and scarlet sorts unless you want a
color discord of the most aggressive
sort.
Then there are hardy pinks, the
perennial Pea, Coreopsis Lanceolata,
Pyrethrum, Dairy, Achillea, all good,
easily grown and readily obtainable.
If immediate effect Is desired, It will
be necessary to purchase plants, but
pearly all the kinds I have mentioned
will bloom the second season frow
seedling plants.

Brilliant Art Clerk.
Representative Martin B. Madden
of Illinois Is a connoisseur of art, and
has the walla of his office covered
with etchings and engravings. Not
long ago he went to a little art shop
and left an order for a small engrav-
ing of "Apollo and the Muses." The
clerk said they would order It. In a
week Madden went back and tbe clerk
Informed him that there wasn't any
such picture.
"Why, 'Apollo and the Muses' Is well
known the world over," said Madden;
"of course there's such a picture."
"What's the title again?" asked the
clerk. " 'Apollo and the Muses?' Oh-h,
I thought you ordered a picture called
'Paul in the Museum.' "
United State* Haa Splendid Chanoe to
Increase Ite Commerce With
Eastern Countries.
A delegation of distinguished Chi-
nese merchants and statesmen have
done thin country the honor to visit
na with the expressed purpose of
learning western ways from us, which
they deem superior to their own.
ia a compliment which is duly appre-
ciated, and, while Uncle Sam Is entire-
ly willing and ready to act the part of
schoolmaster, he should also take ad-
vantage of the occasion to become a
student and learn from others while
teaching them. He can learn from the
visiting Chinese gentlemen a lesson In
progress and enterprise. What they
are doing by coming here Uncle Sam
should also do by sending delegations
to other countries on a similar mis-
sion. We ought to send representa-
tives and observing business men and
statesmen to the countries south of
us. We, too, want to know what and
how to buy and we want to know what
our neighbors have to sell, and what
they wish to buy from us. Similar
delegations could be sent to the orient,
and especially to China, that is awak-
ening, and where 400,000,000 people
are anxious to trade with us. There
la practically no limit to the commerce
which could be carried on between
this country and other countries that
we have neglected too long. Not only
cotton, although cotton is a great pro-
duct, may be considered. The visiting
Chinese said that they wanted our
lumber, and by sending ships through
the Panama canal we can get our sur-
plus productli info the Pacific and as
far as the seas extend, and success-
fully compete with any other nation.—

Fertilizing With Sponges.
Joseph G. Smith of the United States
bureau of soils has called attention to
the present use and future possibil-
ities of the loggerhead sponges of the
Florida keys as a fertilizer. They
grow In countless thousands in shal-
low water, and citrus groves r>n the
neighboring mainland have been fer-
tilized with them with satisfactory re-
sults.

Aerial Torpedo to Fly 100 Miles.
An aerial torpedo that will travel a

Is another formidable weapon of war
Germany is about to launch at her
enemies. The principle of the aerial
torpedo is the same as the water tor-
pedo.
It is first projected by compressed
air, then travels In a direct line under
the power of Its own propeller and
under the guidance of its own rudder.
With the aerial torpedo perfected,
Germany would have a weapon more
terrifying to London than all her
zeppelins, taubes, 60-centimeter guns
and undersea cruisers combined.
