In our articles on perennials we mentioned that for those int- erested in gardening and who are renting the home in which they live it would probably be best to plant annuals rather than perennials. Annuals are quickly and easily grown and are com- paratively inexpensive. Their range of size and color makes it possible to secure somewhat the same effects as with perennials and shrubs. The results obtained sre, of course, only temporary, as the first frost usually kills many of the annuals leaving no- thing but blackened foliage, but where one is likely to move on short notice serious considera- tion should be given to the use of annuals. The all-growing plants such as castor oil beans, sunflowers and sorghums are very useful for massing against buildings or fences or for screening objec- tionable views. Moderate grow- ing broadleaved plants such as the dwarf castor oil bean are suitable for hedges, and along walks or drives. Such lower growing plants when massed a- gainst a background of taller growing ones are much more pleasing and effective than when they are used in beds in the hiay 24th -- Children's Day.

SRARI 8 Phoae West 9 Fertilizers, Wood, Coal Buflders'upplies When annuals are used for cut flower purposes it is best to plant them in a space set aside in the flower or vegetable gar- den. It is also best to plant them in rows with ample space be- tween the rows and between the plants in the rows. If they are too crowded the blooms will be small. The soil should be fairly rich and kept moist and well cultivated. hire. R. Bh IVest Bay, wishes to know when she should take up her tulip bulbs for storing. If the tulips have only been in their present location one sea- son and have been satisfactory and the location is satisfactory for another year or two, the bulbs need not be lifted. In the event it is necessary to move them they should not be lifted until the foliage has died down Dig the bulbs up carefully, place in a dry location until the foli- age is completely withered, then cut it and the roots off and store the bulbs in a dry cool place until the next planting period.

COUNCII. NOTES Nr. Nightingale came before the council in regard to the building on Dundarave Pier. He explained fully the difficulty in keeping this building in fit con- dition for the use of the IVest Vancouver Swimming Club. It was decidetl thol. the chair- man of the parks. Mr. Nightin- gale, and the engineer confer with a view to findin a solution and report to the council. 'C. T. Kendrick, chairman of the school booard, and W. N. Mc- Donald appeared before the council to explain that certain minor improvements were still required to complete the work at the high school grounds, and that they had not suificient funds to finish it. If the council could see its way to assume the cost of the installation of cul- verts, they would undertake to do the little grading necessary in the vicinity of the flagpole. The council agreed to absorb an amount not exceeding 370 in connection with the installation of culverts at the high school. Miss A. D. Collie wrote the council regarding a light at Park Lane and the bad condition of the road. She was informed: 1. The application for the light would be placed on the light file. 2. As regards the condition of the road no funds were available at present to do the work re- quired. S('BOOIJS RANI) I'I,AY TO I AR(cE Al'BIEN('F There wss a large attendance st the concert put, on last Frklsy evening by the West Vancouver Schools Band in the Inglewood Auditorium, and an enthusiastic reception was accorded every one of their numbers. In the year during which the band hss been in being very considerable progress has been made, and one would have hardly recognized the organization ss the same band who put on a concert about twelve months sgo. Considering the fact that not one of the members has receivLKI any indi- vidual instruction in his or her instrument, and that some of the bass instruments are almost too heavy for such young artists, the band made a wonderful showing. A number of improve- ments were noticeable, especial- ly as regards the kettle tirums, which s year sgo were too weak to be elrective. Adolph Bergklint with his piano accordisn made a tremen- dous hit, having to give several numbers each time he appeared on the platform. Tom Turner, who gave two vocal solos, was also compelled to give encore numbers. Brief addresses were made by Chairman C. T. Kendrick of the school board, J. E. Condon, and Mr. Mulholland of the Conn ihIusic House, who have supplied the instruments. A pleasing feature of the evening was the presentation by Rupert Harrison on behalf of the band, of a baton to the conduc- tor, Arthur Jordan, who has been responsible for the train- ing. The latter in thanking the band for their kindly recognition of his efForts, referred to the loyal support he had always got from its members and also to the great assistance he had re- ceived from J. E. Condon who had charge of sll matters refer- ring to organization. J. E. Durbin was responsible for the excellent lighting effects on the platform, which were of material assistance to the band in their playing.
