Pense attached to the sowing of seed of old-fashioned pretty flowers, 8o that every home should have at least a tiny garden spot. If you have only a small space around the house, se@l the front to grass and use flowers as a background. With a very large space one can lay out winding walks outlined with old-fashioned garden plants. p How to Plant Flower Seeds. After you have planted fine flower seeds, you may wonder why so few plants appear, but you will probably remember that you dug the earth, ’scallered it loosely, threw the seeds over it, raked it again, and then left it to_do its best or worst. This is not the way to plant fine seed. First spade the earth carefully, then break the clods into fine pieces. Soot is ex- cellent to mix with flower bed earth, and sand is also good, because it keeps dirt from becoming too com- pact. Having raked the bed smooth, take an old sieve and sift fine, rich dirt over the whole bed. Hard seeds will not germinate unless scalded. Pour on them some hot water. but not boiling, and as soon as this begins to cool, pour it off and put on fresh. Do this three or four times, then put the seeds into pepper box and shake them evenly over the surface, but do not attempt to cover the seed with dirt. Instead, take a trowel and press the seed firmly into the soil. It water, carefully lift the plant from its crock, place it in the hole and fill with rich earth. This prevents the plant from withering and is es- peclally to be recommended When plarting fragile flowers, where one cannot give them daily care. Flourishing Geraniums, For indoor and outdoor window gar- dens geraniums make a bright show- ing, are fragrant and do not demand a groat deal of care. Buy young plants from the florist in April or May and grow them in pots all sum- mer. The pots should be filled with equal parts of good loam, well de- cayed manure and sand. The sand is a very important item, for the secret of successful geranium culture is to give just the right quantity of water, and the sand will insure the draining moisture. Noth: ing works greater harm to geranium. than over-watering. As the branches grow, pinch out the ends. so as to induce a short, stalky growth with many branches rathcr than a few long, bare ones. From time to time the plants must be moved to a pot one inch larger each time. How to Grow Fine Pansies—To be at thelr best, pansies require a rather cool situation, with partial shade and a cool, moist, fertile soil. They may be grown in the open sunshine, provided the soil is reasonably cool and al- ways kept moist. Remember to keep the blossoms picked regularly and not to allow any seed to form, as the ripening of seed will shorten the life and blooming period. Pick the blos- soms as fast as they fully expand and as large hanging baskets filled with flowers. When making them purchase large flare wire baskets in order to provide sufficient earth for the grow- ing plants. Now s the time to: make these baskets, as the plants should have a good start before they are hung on the porch. Trailing ferns, red geraniums, wandering dew and striped grass may be used in the baskets. From any furniture dealer you can buy for a few cents each the | long boxes in which curtain shades are sent by express. These boxes, if painted and filled with earth, can be placed crosswise on the corners of the porch, or they can be hung from the front to the side railing. They should be filled with petunias, portu- laca or any vine that will trail over the s. ‘They also make good win- for small flowers. Green Carnations.—Every year be- fore St. Patrick's day the florists | prepare for market a large supply of | green carnations, which are white| blossoms stained green by a simple process. Dye used for Easter egg is u:ed for carnations after being di solviq in fresh water. The cut flow ers s\ uld stand in the dye until the petals have taken on the desired tint. The dye rises up through the leaves and petals. After the coloring is com- plete the flowers should be put in fresh water. Clam Chowder. Quite as important a part of the season diet as fish chowder is clam chowder. It is also a great all-the- year-round dish for luncheon. Here is a tested recipe for it: Fry three slices of fat salt pork brown in the bottom of a kettle. Then add six potatoes, peared and sliced thin, and one onion. Add boiling water enough to cover them and boil slowly until nearly done. Then add a quart of raw ‘clams and boil slowly until searly done. Then add a quart of milk, a little butter, pepper and salt, and ‘six butter crackers, split open and maistened in warm water. The crackers called butter crackers go by different names in different localities, but any grocer knows the kind that are sold for chowders. Cream of Clams. Take twenty-five clams, scrub thor- oughly, put in a kettle and a little boiling water over them and cover closely. Steam clams until they open, then remove from shells and chop fine. Save water in kettle. Then take three cups milk with three ta- blespoons each of flour and butter. Make Into white sauce, add strained clam juice and chopped clams. Sea- son with salt, cayenne and a little grating of nutmeg. Let stand ten minutes, strain, serve in cups with whipped cream.

Place the roots carefully in the earth. Do not crowd them together, but spread them apart and lay them naturally as you think they should grow. Shrubs should be given sufficient root room and rich soil Roses demand rich soil and plenty of sunshine. An_unsightly fence may be made into & thing of beauty by adorning it with_old-fashioned morning glories. Wind strings up and down the fence for them to cling to. Long wire nails driven into the fence will support twine or cord. Plant wild sage and salvia in front of the morning gloriey in two hedge rows. Both plants are scarlet, though of a different shade. A gocd background effect of flowers can be secured with hollyhocks.
