HUTS, Landscape Architect of late blooming flowers is de- sired, plant seed that you have saved, or buy from the most re- liable seedsman vou know. Any- way get a start on next year' garden by starting a seed bed within the next few weeks. Do not remove seedlings to their permanent locations until next spring. If it is desired to give protection during winter, a covering of leaves may be placed over them. Do not cover until after the first light frost. Seed of the early biennials and perennials sown as soon as ma- tured on the plants will give much better results than that which is carried over until spring. Considerable moisture is evaporated from the seed if it is held over, which must be re- absorbed before the seed will be- gin to germinate. Select the most perfect blooms of the flowers you w~sh to in- crease, and mark by tying string around the stems. Allow to thoroughly mature and fade, then remove the seed vessel. Spread the seed on a paper in the sun for a few days before starting in the seed bed. Ellen Eddy Shaw, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, writing in the July issue of American Home, advises that the seed bed be pre- pared as follows: "Spade deep- lv, digging down at least two feet. It is a good idea to take the soil out of this bed, and put in the bottom a layer of drainage material such as brok- en brick, crock, crushed stone, or anything of that sort. Then put in a layer of the sod you have taken off the bed--if you have sod--grass side down, or put in a layer of leaves, about three inches thick. Then put in the best soil you have, with rot- ted manure, humus, or rich com- post, mixed with ordinary gard- en loam. If the trial bed is not too large, I would sift the soil and add to it some bone meal, working it in thoroughly. This may seem a great deal of trouble but it will pay in the end, for it makes a wonderful bed in which to start plants. Planting the seeds after a soaking rain is the best possible start to give them, but lacking this a thorough soaking of the bed with the hose will answer. Let it be thoroughly saturated until it refuses to absorb any more water. Do not plant the seed until the surface soil has dried out. Hollyhocks, Foxgloves, Del- phinium, Gaillardia, Sweet )Vil- liam, Pansies, Columbines, Paint- ed Daisies and many others may be started in this way. If a stock A daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. E.
