HUTT, Architect By MINA Landscape Gnat I bssd splm U. sl C.. As &u~ Isd. ht ssbsr Ns For filling in the centre of the flower bed or at the back of a border taller growing plants are needed. For this purpose the castor oil bean (Ricinus) or the several varieties of cosmos are splendid as are also celosias and sunflowertb When planning the annual flower garden the thought of flowers for cutting purposes should be kept in mind. For cut- ting during the blooming season the following will be found very good: Anterrhinums, eaters, stocks, cornflowers, larkspur, nigella, dianthus, scabiosa, snd mignonette and gypsophils, which should be sown several times during the summer to pro- vide a continuous supply. These two flowers are for combining with other cut flowers, the mig- nonette «4th its delicate per- fume and the gypsophila with its graceful sprays of fine foliage and blossoms form a lovely set- ting for a bouquet of annuals. Sometimes it is desirable to have a temporary hedgelike ef- fect in some part of the garden. This can be assured quickly and at a very small cost by the use of kochia or as it is quite fre- quently called, summer cypress. The foliage of this plant is quite feathery appearing--the sum- mer and in the fall months turns a lovely crimson shade. For the medium height hedge celosias are one of the best annuals for the purpose, while for a low hedge we suggest the dwarf nasturtiums with the variegated foliage. If it is desired to screen some unsightly part of yours or your neighbors garden in s temporary manner there is real- ly nothing to compare with the School I ~s p A cbltscbps ssd us I ~ccsps Sv Ics. old fashioned sunflower, which used to be such a part of the garden of years ago. For covering trellises, morn- ing glories may be used as may also the ordinary field hop, climbing nasturtiums, wild cu- cumber or cohen scsndeus. This latter is a particularly fast grow- er but is quite tender and does much better if started under g)ass. It can be purchased from most places handling plants, us- uafly at a cost of twenty-five cents. One or two plants will soon cover the usual sized gar- den trellis. 51rs. R. J., Hollyburn, writes to ask if sweet peas will be im- proved by the use of a mulch. Answer: Yes, very much so. Sweet peas require a great deal of moisture and the mulch pre- vents the soil from becoming dried out. A mulch of leaves, lawn dippings or better still, an application of pest moss.

Several lots of from half to one acre each are situated near Cranberry Lake about two miles east of the town and 264 are comprised in an addition to Westview in the same district, while 19,569 acres are offered at Southview eight miles out from Powell River near the Sli- amon Indian Reserve.
