This is the result of a lack of planning before the bed was planted. A well thought out peren- nial border should be a blaze of colour right ffom carly spring untilghe plants go dormant in late fall. To achieve this result, the winter months can be put to good use, with paper, pencil and a few good perennial books (check out the local library). Draw a plan of the bed, mark- ing in plants which may already be available or are items which are special favourites. Perennials look best grouped according to colour harmony and for pleasing fect. Soft colours can be planted "1 larger masses, strong colours should be used more sparingly. Once the most popular plants for cach season are located on the plan, the other areas can be filled with less well known, but often spectacular, species. For early colour, a few groups of daffodils, lips, crocus and some of the minor bulbs such as Scilla, sibirica, Puschkinia liban- otica or Eranthus give carly splashes of colour. These, of course, must be planted in fall. Some of the less well known perennials for early bloom from April through June are Myosotis sylvatica -- a forget-me-not hich blooms in April, oronicum caucasicum -- a bright 'yellow daisy; Euphorbia epithymoides -- a low yellow spurge. : From June to August there is an abundance of. colourful plants, of various heights and forms Hemerocallis or Daylilies give masses of colour, especially some of the newer cultivars, which come in shades from palest yel- low, through pinks, 10 decp reds These are no longer the almost despised orange lily of the road- side. Achillea (Yarrow) is another old favourite with a new look. There are now many cultivars and colours of this species. Cimicifuga racemosa or Snakeroot is a spectacular plant with tall (5°) spikes of white flgw- ers, suitable for the back of a bor- der, in sun or shade. Bergamot or Beebalm (Monarda didyma) comes in a variety of colours, ranging from white to deep scar- let, while the daisy family is well represented at this season with a colourful display of Shasta Daisy, Gaillardia, Rudbeckia, Echinacea and Heliopsis, giving splashes of cplour from white, through clear yellow, to dark red, with spread- ing Oenothera missouriensis or Ozark rop produces masses of fourto five inch yellow, cup- like flowers, which, in wm, pro- duce unusual seed pods. Also for the front of the border, Carpathian Harebell (Companula carpatica) is a delightful plant, covered with blue flowers from, June to September. Fall - blooming Chrysanthemums give masses of colour from September until frost, as do Michaelmas Daisies, or Fall Asters. This group of plants comes in both tall and dwarf vari- eties, in colours ranging from white to red and pale pink to pur ple. There are many more species which are ideal for perennial bor- ders. A little research will give ideas to suit all tastes. An excellent source of infor- mation on perennial borders, both in the preparation and mainte- nance and the planning of the bor- der, is Publication 358 -- Herbaceous Perennials -- from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and food, available at the Ministry of Agriculture office, free of charge. ee If you have any questions regarding your garden, our members will be pleased to help you.

After digging around the suspicious area near Jack Rabbit Run in Canwright, officers found nothing more than a pile of rocks. A police spokesman said this may have been somebody's idea of a pre-Hallowe'en prank. But with the search still on for the body of Elizabeth Bain, police were taking no chances.
