system due to a lack of the cor

Looked at from the ,viewpoint

themums all increase to many
times their original size and

Another thing to remember if
you wish the choicest blossoms,
don’t let your plants bloom them
selves to death, and don't let the
blossoms go to seed. ;
If you wish to save seed for
next year, select the most perfect
blogesoms that follow after the
first set of buds. Mash these blos
soms and let them fully mature
and you will get the first quality
seed.
The price of all seeds and bulbs
has advanced mso much this year
that it will surcly not be time
wasted to save all we ecan this
year, s 0 we may be sure of good
s2ed for next year.
When raising flowers for deco
rative purposes we want to allow
the buds just to mature and then
cut, and very early morning is the
beat time to gather the flowers,
Never jerk or roughly handle
vour plants. Always use a pair of
scissors to cut the flowers or

You can make your home more
beautiful and pleasing to both
your family and friends and
make it an endless joy and pride
to yourn‘t by helping nature to
help you. .
Besides your iernontl appear
ance, there is nothing that appeals
to human pride ag does the home,
and “there is a very great differ
ence between a house and a
home.” ‘
To,have the inside of a “home”
more cheerful looking there surely
must be a touch of nature, either
a pretty fern or some house plant,
a bowl of flowers, either wild or
from your garden, will always
improve the appearances.
Our appeal is to hide the ugly
places, make Atlanta more beau
tiful and gain the pleasure and
banefit of coming in contact with
nature,
