Member National Landscape Service. seed and should bloom in two or tivo and a half months after planting. They may also be pur- chased from your nurseryman as bedding plants in flats or pots. The plants for the first two or three ~veeks stand erect, and then begin to sprawl covering approximately an area of a foot to a foot and a half in each dir- ection when fully grown. Petunias do well in both ordin- ary and rich soil, blooming well in soil too rich fr other plants and doing almost equally as well in poor soil ivith plenty of moist- ure. They are sun-loving plants yet succeed in partial shade. The dwarf compact types do not thrive as well in this section of the country as in the hot south- ern areas. The stronger varie- ties will quite frequently seed themselves and show themselves in early spring. If it is desired to retain these early comers, it will be advisable to give slight protection until danger of re- curring frost is past. EVinter bloom may be secured by taking cuttings from the choice varieties which it is de- sired to retain. The same treat- ment as given geranium cuttings may be successfully followed. One of the desirable features of petuias is their freedom from disease and pests. Advantage of this agreeable characteristic may still be enjoyed this sum- mer by obtaining the bedding plants from your nurseryman. The Petunia is one of our prettiest and most easily grown flowers yet there are compara- tively few people who include it in their gardens, ivhy I do not know, perhaps it is because it is so easily gro»n. There are ap- proximately twelve species of them. )Vith the exception of one or tavo species which are natives of Mexico, the others are natives of the southern part of South America. The petunia is closely allied to the salpiglossis, the petunia having five perfect stamens whereas the salpigloss- is has only four, the leaves be- ing narrow and serrate. Gard- en petunias are small soft plants of straggly habit, stems are hairy and usually somewhat sticky. The flowers are large and showy of the morning glory type, the colors running from white to dark purple. They are properly a perennial, but are treated as annuals. The common kinds are inclined to be weedy in habit, but their great profusion of bloom under all conditions makes them quite desirable. For massing against shrub- bery they are particularly good, as they make a good undergrow- th with very little care. We have used the white variety outlin- ing a garden path, with charm- ing effect and their continuous profusion of bloom make them an especially happy choice. For bedding purposes, petunias be- cause of their habit of growth give lasting satisfaction with a minimum of attention. The present day varieties are considered to be hybrids. In some of the strains the flowers are very broad and when open measure three or four inches in diameter. The double flowered varieties are fragrant and dainty and altogether delightful, and with a little more care than re- quired by the ordinary single petunias will give an unlimited amount of bloom. The flomers of the single flowered giant ruf- fled are beautifully ruffled and fringed, colors are rich and gor- geous with deep throats of var- ious shades. Petunias may be grown from NOTE--The writer will consider It a pleasure to answer questions concerning the garden ln this column.

DIAJOR BARWIS PASSES AAVAY SUDDENLY IVas Respected by Community Major william Bailey Barwis, well known throughout Canada and es- pecially well known in West Vancouver where he has re- sided for some years, pass- ed away on Monday night. There are few men who gain the respect and admir- ation of their fellowmen to the extent that did AIajor Barwis. Courteous and sympathetic at all times, though of a somewhat re- tiring disposition, Major Barwis had a host of friends and admirers. He had tak- en an active interest in pub- lic affairs and at the time of his death was president of the West-Vancouver Ag- ricultural and Horticultural Association and President of the Archery Club. De- ceased was 66 years of age and had lived in B. C. since 1906 coming here from Al- berta. Besides his wife, who was away on the Prairies at the time of his sudden end, he leaves two sons, Captain C. 4V. A. Barwis, and Lieut. G. D. G. Barwis and a sister Mrs. A. B. Dorais of 20th and Fulton. Horticultural Association Holds Special hleeting In the sudden demise of Major Barwis the West Vancouver Horticultural Association has lost one of the most enthusiastic mem- bers of its Directorate. Since his connection with the Society, Major Banvis has been a very active worker, filling the positions of Treasurer, Vice President and this year that of Pres- ident and the Association is the poorer by his remov- al. The heartfelt sympathy of the directors is extended to Mrs. Barw is and the members of his family in their sudden bereavement. FORi&IER lVEST VAN.

He spent the shining ore And came again, and yet again, still cold And hugry, as before. I gave a THOUGHT, and through that thought of mine He found himself, the man, suprem, divine, Fed, clothed, and crowned with bless- ings manifold, And now he begs no more. --Anon. The Builder A builder builded a temple; He wrought it with graceand skill-- Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will. And men said, when they saw its beauty, "It shall never know decay; Great is thy skill, oh, builder! Thy fame shall endure for aye." A mother builded a temple With loving and infinite care, Planning each arch with patience, Laying each stone with prayer; None praised her unceasing efforts, None knew of her wondrous plan. For the temple the mother builded Was unseen by the eyes of man. Gone is the builder's temple-- Crumbled into the dust; Low lies each stately pillar, Food for consuming rust. But the temple the mother builded Will last while the ages roll; For the beautiful unseen temple Was a child's immortal soul. AND THAT'S HOAV IT iVAS I did a favor yesterday, A kindly little deed. And then I called to all the world To stop and look and heed. They stopped and looked and f!attered me In words I could not trust, And when the world had gone away My good deed turned to dust. A very tiny courtesy I found to do today; 'Twas quickly done, with none to see, And then I ran away. But someone must have witnessed it, For truly I declare- As I sped back the stony path Roses were blooming there!
