Plan now, during the winter months to try out at i, ast one new plant or flower this coming spring, and bring the results to the Horticultural Show so that your friends may have the bene- fit of your experiences. Just a thought in regard to our friends, the birds. The fall migration of the birds has not left us entirely without; many of them winter over with us, and more would stay if assured of food throughout the winter. For those not in the habit of feed- ing the birds now is a good time to start as a great deal of their natural food supply, the insects and worms, etc., are not avail- able at this time. A little suet is one of the best of foods for them as it helps to supply the much needed warmth. A food tray should be provided, a shal- low cigar box makes a very good one, although a shelf with a roof over it is much better as it protects the food from the rain and snow. You will be surprised how soon the birds will find the food and how quickly the good word spreads. The food shelt- er of course should be placed out of the i'ach of cats, although we ourselves have four cats and we have a robin in our garden who is absolutely unafraid of any of them. He comes up on the back porch within a few inches of them and eats food ive have left for him. The cats pay not atten- tion whatever to him. They seem to consider him one of the family, as indeed he is. A large part of the fascina- tion of gardening lies in the end- less possibilities for new exper- iences. One may experiment with the growing of plants with both profit and pleasure, and there is always the possibility that a new plant will be produced andthencomcs the thrill of a life- time. Some folks claim that we should leave well enough alone, but we ivould ask if the greatest enjoyment in gardening doesn' corn,„o through experiment and change and the desire to grow better and prettier flowers. It is quite true that the fund- amental framework upon which a garden is built, if it satisfies the requirement of good design, need not be changed, but the plants and furnishings may be changed perhaps to good advan- tage. Then there are always new plants being introduced, many of them worth experimen- ting with. They may not prove entirely suitable to the locality but the best way to find out is to try them for yourself. We have in mind at the present time an instance where on'8 of our readers asked us to secure some seeds or plants of a new variety of Mallow. IVe secured both plants and seeds, and our last word from our correspondent was that they were doing well, notwithstanding the fact that several of the coast seed houses and nurseries stated that these plants would not flourish on the coast because of the cool nights. If your particular hobby has been Iris, or Dahlias or other flowers, why not try your hand N.ith Peonies or Roses. Every flower or plant grown has much to commend it and there is plenty to learn from every one of them.
