PERSONAL SHOPPER Colorful, sun-loving bedding plants such as single and double petunias, coleus, amaranthus, dusty miller, and marigolds make a small garden area come alive. Bedding Plants Pleasing To Every Taste As used by gardeners, the term "bedding" has nothing to do with sheets and pillow cases. In older days the term originated with formal outdoor gardens where colorful plants were arranged in seasonal patterns for showy, striking effect. Modern home gardneers arrange bedding plants in­ formally, but strive for the same bright effects. Bedding plants, started from seeds and grown to blooming sizes by professional growers, allow home gardeners to achieve virtually instant gardening results. In selecting bedding plants for a summer garden, the home gardener has broad choices as to color, form, height and texture. To insure pleasing color combinations follow the rules of a color wheel. Red, yellow and blue are the primary colors, arranged at equal distances around the circle. Orange, green and violet are the secondary colors at the halfway points between the primaries. _ Use the warm colors: red, orange and yellow with their intermediate hues in sequence; and the cool colors: blue, green and violet for contrast. A group of red salvia, for example will show off in striking fashion an edging of violet alyssum. The salvia will also blend har­ moniously with scarlet zinnias planted next to orange calendulas which are beside yellow marigolds. Marigolds as the last in the sequence of warm colors would be hand­ somely set off by crisp blue ageratum. Form in annual bedding plants ranges from the broadly- oval outline of alyssum through the pyramid shape of snap­ dragons and plumed celosia, Whofe launching a new tax-free bondfund?

In height, bedding plants range from a few inches to several feet. Alyssum and portulaca (moss rose) are deservedly called carpeting plants, although alyssum is most often used in low edging. Some periwinkle varieties also qualify as low edging plants. Wax begonias, dwarf celosias, some coleus varieties, dianthus, dwarf marigolds, nasturtiums, petunias, Phlox drummondi, dwarf salvias, verbenas and zinnias will meet the gardener's requirement for flowers and foliage plants that stay at, or can be retained in, the foot-high range. Medium- growing plants reaching twenty-four inches include geraniums, some asters, most balsams, calendulas, celosia, dusty miller, impatiens, many marigolds, flowering tobacco, gloriosa daisies, snapdragons and most zinnias. Texture is influenced by the flowers as much as the foliage in bedding plants. Thick, heavy petals and foliage express a textural quality far different from that imparted by dainty flowers and fern-like leafy stems. Cleome or spider flower, for example, becomes a soaring rocket of color with a stem so lightly foliaged it trails to earth like an exhaust. The cockscomb types of celosia are durable masses, while marigolds seem bold and brassy. In contrast fern-leaved, slender-stemmed cosmos with daisy flowers are deceptively fragile appearing. Nunda Offers RTA Cards To Senior Citizens Nunda Township supervisor, Anita Sherwood, announced today that senior citizens and handicapped persons may now also apply for their reduced fare identification cards issued by the Regional Transportation Authority for travel on RTA subsidized public tran­ sportation at the Nunda township office, 95 Grant street, Crystal Lake.
