'7$u GRLÇN9 * .CLASSIFIED ADVERTISIt4O* Something iînLike iu Almost regar'dless of location, Ibere are some f1owers. which wiii grow. For rough spots oir uiopes one can make a rock gar- (eni and grow the special littie plants that arle listed in any seed catalogue. As a rule these tîny rock garden plants like uiiallow and dryîih silis. Màny ef thein origî nally canme from àiountain lopes. For dark shady corners there are things like begonias, lily of thie valley, pansies, and such that wili thrive there. At the oppositle enid of the scale are portulaca, poppies, alyssum and so on thiat delight in the, hottest sunshine, wiii, stand drougcht and are not jparticular at ail whether the soil M rich. There are certain thinga that mnust be in a dry location and others that don't mindc et- ting their feet w7et. There are- 3orme that are exceptionially hardy and blomn after the frost. AndI, there is, of course, a wide rFange in colour an~d height and t1rne of blooing, Any seed catalogue will ist a11 these preferences and differ- enaces and with such information one can go alhead anid fit plants e anly location and aîso create a garderi that will be interesting and fuili of bloom f ror.1 Junie un- «il October. LaWn Needs Attention,' Too! Not even- a hay field will thrive without sone care and for a really good lawn, soft and thick like a piece of broadloomn, thie saine attention xmust be given as with a_ flower bed or a prize patch of vegetab'le. Good seed ie of vital impor- tance. Except for special pur- poses such as putting or bowl-~ ïnig greens, mixtures of several Lne' grasses a7re-- used. Some of îhese grasses corne along quick-. Jy, saine doý besf late in the sea- zon, somne have riçher colour and so on. These are blended together ta produce uiforit'y of texture and clour thorough-. eut tbhe season and for various regians 0f Canada. Seeding ould be done early, before the witieather, or after it ru the lall. Before sowing, (f course, the gr-ound miut be mnade levai and fne, If possible, tif je hst to eultivate_ several times at inter- -vals of a Week or tan days soj that any filed in portions of thec- %round wil gat a chance ta set- fie. This pre-seeding cultivation will1 also encouirage any Weede to sprout and the more of thes*é destroyed haefore the grass goes ïu the aasier the care afterwards., Grass seed prefers a fine rich, vwel l raned, soufl. Sowing is basf dona on a day withouf w1ind and to maka sure the seed goes in evenly, experts s0w both ways, once up and down and onceý aÉ,r6os. SeacI is covered by rak- ing ightly o)ne way only. Tc heep birdls away one may coveýr with 'saie light brush. Iu a mrioth ta six weeks the new lawn is usualy raady for its first mowing. This should be d1oue with a sharp machine wtAhich will cut clean and not pull eut the tender grass. Ani annual applicaion of commercial ferti- lizer, rich iu nitrogan, wiil uis- uzally keep a lawu healthy and able to crovvd out most weeds. Tlhe test eau be ramovad with a spudder or by sprayîing with euie of tfhe chem ical weed killers applied carefully accordling ta dtirections. To build and rnaintain a good tawn requires care but if le more tRhan worth any effort and the mnoderate expense. With'out A Lcentrepiece of fine lawu as fore- &round 'for shrubbery, flower gardens, trees, and the homne it-. self, rio gardan iayouf, no mat- ïer 1how costly, will hea areal esuccess.
