home oh dear hasn t it been hot and how badly we need rain after all the rain we had a few weeks ago it doesn t seem possible we should be suffering troni drought alre lt from the appearance of lawns and gardens norman russ on sunday mr and now you would hardly know we had ever had any rain my poor garden i have finally come to the conclusion that i must go back to perennials or go without a gar den at all except for shrubs and spring flowers annuals and 1 don t seem to get along too well three dozen sweet alyssum plants that i set out so hopefully in the spnng have com pletely disappeared bugs ate up the asters snapdragons grew tall and spindly and the zinnias be came brown and shrivelled after i sprinkled them with bugdeath however nasturtiums and spider plants also begonias are doing fine so we have a few annuals any way to brighten our desert garden there are also about a dozen thrifty geraniums gaily blooming at the back of the house these geraniums were given me last spnng already potted but un known and unmarked as to var iety among the more ordinary kind there is one which i believe is a little uncommon the small double bloom is like a rose white in the centre merging to pink is the prettiest daintiest one of them all but you have to be close to it to appreciate its beauty it is not a showy free bloomer like the deep nmk ivy geranium the friend who rave me these geraniums gives away dozens of unidentified slips each spnng this year after her own plints came into bloom she discovered that not one of them was the itttle double rose var ety which i have just mentioned and which she specially 1 ked so now m rose geranium is pirticuhrlj valuible ns it will i rov de slips for its onerous ong i ml d nor i often think that gnmg roft- t d sips wn is ike spread

whom a lip or root had been girn when the plant or shrub was in good iieal th amateur gardeners- are the most generous people ways ready to share what they have with other flow er loving en thusiasts but they also like tc follow the progress of what they give away just as a benefactor likes to follow the career of promising protegee sometimes the result is disappointing which generally happens if confidence has been misplaced in the case of flowers the genu lne flower lover cannot imagine her friends to be less enthusiastic than herself so when ltaie ukeit conies along exclaims with delight oh your beautiful begonia her friend immediately says do you like it i ha e another one like that vou ran have it if you nam it so lizzie goes home nice healthy begonia just coming into bloom which she puts in the front room and then only remem bers t when it begins to droop the plant gets too little sun and wilts for lack of water asked a few weeks later how the begoni is coming along lizzie answers carelesslv oh i dont know what happened to it it lust wouldnt grow for me and gradually died 1 threw it out last week poor mrs flower lover feels as hurt and grieved as if she had lost a friend as indeed she bad well w h r8 wy hffc with us again this time without her arm in a cast the operation on her shoulder was apparently a success at this minute she busy washing dishes she u read finding out that having on arm relieved of its cast has its disadvantages but of course the arm needs exercise and what better exercise could it have than washing dishes only she doesnt always see it

allen says can the tories cut taxes maybe tkey will bet wholl get it what did the liberal tax cut mean to you if you are a married man with two children earning the average wage of 2400 a year it meant a reduction of one dollar to be spread over a twelve month period your income tax would be 18 00 for tee year but if you receive 10000 from dividends during the same year your taxes have been reduced so that you will not have to pay one cent big business supports both the old parties that s why we say that a tory is no real alternative to a liberal stan allen ccf the farmerlabour candidate
