A silver cup- a grand challenge cup-a Massey cup or a Foster cup or an N. H. S. cup. When you went to school and studied Euclld you learnit that an axiom is seif-evident truth, a pro- position which It la necessary to take for granted, such as. "The whole ia greater than the part." Weil, here's a new on1e, "At the Hor- ticultural Society's Flower Shows Mns. M. Brown wlns a cup." Now as to the whole being greater than the part the wbole flower show held in the conirunity hall on the l7th of March was magnificent. There were sha-mrocks, primroses, primulas, begonias, tulips, byacinths, narcissus, daffodils, geraniums, aep- adistras, palais, ferias, rubber plants, coleus and cordelines. There were 150 entries on exhibition, 35 of which were Mrs. Brown's. Her home la flot a mansion, a palatial resi- dence, nor even a two storey brick or Stone, juat a modest, ffower flhled cottage, but here she raised the plants that won for ber 28 % of the prizes and 30% of the points. Mrs. Brown's vlctory was much like the success of a whirlwind runner in a marathon race. Whlle she was go- ing around the track three tinies for 50 points, ber nearest competitor haci just made the first lap, 17 points. Now there were many fine specimens of bouse plants and flow- ering buibs on exhibition in addition to Mrs. Brown's whose speciaity is bulbs. Notabiy there was Mrs. John Garrod's shamrock. ber one and only entry. It was an offering of higb bonor to the memory of St. Patrick. Then Mrs. E. C. Bemani won four flrsts on prlxnroses. prim- ulas and foliages. Mns. C. Law's begonias, pink hyacinths, geran- iums and cordeline outcassed ial otber. Mns. J. R.

Groves, Bowma.nville The perennial border plan set out below is in some respects a ittie different from the plans published in recent weeks. The width o! t, five feet, makes it use quite possble in a quite narrow garden lot. Vitb a suitable background the border would have to be attended to rom the fr-ont, and tbe width makes possible mucb of this attention vitbout stepping on the border. Gardeners tbink mucb o! this conven- iece. It will be noticed too that the plan takes exactly 100 plants to omplete. The suggestions for planting are for a location out in the open. Next week we propose to deal wlth the matter o! planting peren- iais in a shaded position. .'7 Key Number Botanical Naine Peony <pink) Coreopsis Grandiflora Hollybock (yeiiow) Cbnysanthemumum Maximum Phlox Subulata Gaillardia Grandiflora Helenium Stnlatum Pyretbvum Roseuin Anabis Alpina Phlox Decussata (pink) Physostegia Virginlana Pa Delphinium <dark) Penstemon Barbatus Heuchera Sanguinea Campanula Per-sicifolia Monarda Didyma Helianthus Multifforus Eigeron Speciosus Campanula Carpatica Rudbeckia Speciosa Helenium Autumnale Lupinus Polyphyllus Geum Atrosanguineum Cerastium Tomnentosurn Achillea Ptarmica Liatnis Spicata Aconitum Autumnale Centaures Deaibata Anthemis Tinctenia Aquilegla Boitonia Asteroides Phlox Decussata mrec> Tunkia Subeordata Trollus Europeus Statice Latefolia Ancbusa Italica Common Name Tlckseed 1 Shasta Daisy Mess Pink Blanket Flower Sneezeweed Pensian Daisy Rock Cresa Filame Flower aIse Dragon's Head Larkspur Beard Tongue Cenal BeUls Bellflower Bergamot Sunflower Midsummer Dalsy Harebeli Coneflower Sneezeweed Lupin Avens Snow-in-summen MilfiU Blszing Stan Monksod Hardiiead Camomile Columbine Starwort Plame Flowen Plantain Lily Globe Flower Sea Lavencler Alkanet *these men, the very ioy o hs The Fo um11ie seemed to radiate f rom thei ThhFoumquestion wsakddrn (Continued frein page 1) the question period as to the atti- There was something about the tude the group took towards the speaker, and bis fellow memben o! various churches, and the rePlY the group, that portraYed the sbowed that tiiey were o! no partie. change that bad come inte bis l1e. ular affliation but worked wlthln ail Any listener could tell that the man churches, coing their part to bring believed bis every action and wordj the Group message before everyone. was clone and spoken wtb the guid- They believed that the Group couic ance o!
