He would have saved money had he bought his vegetables rat the grocer's, his figures tell him Like much cost accounting logic, the |conclusions failed because based on |assumption of positive value to in- |tangibles, { The accountant estimated his time |in the garden at one and a half hours ja day at his regular hourly wage. |{Say, for instance, he made it $1 an hour for easy figuring. It is likely {that $1.50 a day would more than supply the family with every day. But he couldn't with all the money in the world, buy the quality-in the market he raised in his own garden «freshness, without which . most vegetables are mere imitations of their real worth, notably in peas and sweet corn. If a grocer sold his vegetables fresh picked from the garden to erder, he would charge ac- cordingly and some reliable figuring might be done. The economy would be overwhelmingly in favor of the home garden in this case. The home garden is the greatest economizer of health and the only source of first quality vegetables for the table. THe flower garden pays out nobly on the cost-accounting basis. The florist can't sell flowers as old as the végetables the grocer may sell. They must be fresh. Their price shows it and the home flower garden profits in dollars and cents in cut flowers may be counted easily. Revival in Annual Flowers. Only a few years ago garden writ- ers were warning agaihst using an- nuals, maintaining that they clutter- ed up the garden and interfered with the more valuable perennials. The warning was undoubtedly justified at the time because the annuals were not properly grown or handled, but théy had no chance to develop their true worth! Annuals, for the most part, given proper treatment, are as effective as perennials and usually give a greater wealth of bloom over a longer sea- son. They are indispensable for fur- nishing a supply of bloom all sum- mer and keeping the garden gay STARR PHONOGRAPHS { AT LESS THAN COST We are offering the remainder of our stock of these famous Phono- graphs at really. remarkable prices.

But the annual resents poor treat- | ment as earnestly as the perentfial. | It needs as careful soil preparation, cultivation, fertilizing dnd room to The greatest fault and one jof the reasons for the.ldss of esteem {for annuals was that théy were sown {so thickly they never had a chance {to be anything but spindly and | weedy. 1 Most of the annuals, for best re- {sults, should be sown early, in March jor, early . April, either in seed boxes in the house or in hotbeds or cold frames. They will then be ready to transplant into their beds as soon as the 'weather is safe. The wealth of annuals now offered gives a wonder- ful opportunity for garden display and a glance over the catalogues that are now coming to us show a feast of rare splendor offered for the season's decoration. In planning the flower garden, very {liberal allowance should be made for annuals, beds of them, borders of them, groups of them and here and there individual speciment of some of the larger growing types A per- ennial border without the help of annuals is likely to be a failure and colorless 'for long stretches during the season. Now is the time to make out the list of annuals to keep the garden at concert pitch from tulip time till chrysanthemuens. Commercial Seeds Best. It is better to buy fresh seeds from reputable dealers each year than to trust to home-saved seeds. Home: saved seeds almost invarfably result in deterioration of the vegetables. The reason'is that the average gar- dener is not an expert in selecting seed plants or the best plants as seed bearers. Neither has he the appara- tus for cleaning the seeds and remov- ing weed seeds and dead seeds. The grade of seeds is maintained by the strictest selectiod~--and con- stant inspection of experts trained in the work at all hig seed-growing es- tablishments. All inferior plants or plants not true to type are rigorously weeded out that they may not cross with the better-grade plants. In the home garden a fine-looking seed pod or ear of corn may tempt the owner to save it for seed. The chances are 'that regardless of ts fine appearance it has been pollinat- ed by inferior formy growing near it and that it will not reproduce itself. If two or more varieties of seed corn are growing in the neighborhood they cross very readily by means of the wind and ipsects. . The price of seeds is so small con- sidering the amount of work put upon their production and cleaning and testing that it does not pay the home gardener to try to save seed for himself for he cannot possibly gather as good seed as the profes |¥onal. The home gardener, however, should make an effort whenever a superior plant appears in any strain to save some of its seeds and see if it will perpetuate itself. In this way improved varieties come iuto being and foto the trade. 'When such types appear it is best to invoke the aid of the seedsman for advice in handling it and keep- ing it true. Many fine vegetables have thus originated. In the home crop the best produce is used for foo and as a rule only the leavings ara gathered for seed. In the seed plot none of the produce is used for food apd only the best is saved for seed. Seeds Which Need Snow. Many perennial seeds, particularly seeds .of rock plants, won't germin ate without the aksistance of ice and snow. Perennial larkspur seeds are often a great disappointment as to spring germination. Primrose, with the exception of the polyanthus, often will not germinate if they are sown later than March. - Sow seeds of this class of plants in boxes and set them outdoors to freeze and thaw. Heap snow upon the boxes at every opportunity. Snow seems to awaken the tiny germs in the seeds. If sown in the cold frame, do not hesitate to give a covering of snow' to melt upon the seed bed. These seeds must have their winter Delphinium seeds will show the good effects of this outdoor treat- ment. Seeds of the irises which dre now offered by many firms needs this weathering and wintering to make them germinate promptly and freely. » -- Ea ng in Vegetables. This is the day of specializiig in gardening as In everything else and it is an excellent idea for the gardener who bas only a small plot in which to grow vegetables. "He can devote his entire space to his favorite v bl to much better advantage than pos ties iA small quantity. ; If he has only a space ten feet planting half of it #t one time and following two weeks later with the other half. This will and a supply for canning and pickles and chowchows of various sorts. if square he can put ia string beans.) lowing with seed onions later, Swiss chard on a small patch will keep the family In greens for the greater part of the spymmer, a most useful vege- table for a small space and a con- stant yielder if the leaves are cut off instead of pulling up the entire crop. It produces over a long season. A garden of seasoning herbs may be planted on a ten-foot square suf- ficient to stock the pantry for the winter and furnish tasty ingredients for summer cooking. - Among these are the savories, basil, marjoram, sage, parsley, chervil and thyme. Pole beans will give the biggest crop for the ground space of any of the vegetables and the poles can be set closer on the small plot than on larger spaces. | OBITUARY | Rev. William H.
