Hints to Gardeners

Ferry Seed Station
Rock Garden Flowers
YOU want your rock garden to be
come more beautiful as time
; goes on. To achieve this, grow a
I Variety of carefully selected per
i ennials. Care for them as carefully
I as you select them.
By growing and spreading from
i year to year, perennials fill the
I chinks and spaces, taking away the
newness. They give the pleasing
effect of having been there for a
long time.
Following is a list of 24 peren
riiaJs .excellently suited to the rock
garden: Hardy Alyssum, Colum
bine, ’ Arabis or Rock Cress, Ar
meria, Aubrietia, English Daisy (or
Bellis Perennis), Harebell (or
Campanula Carpatica), Siberian
Wallflower, Snow-in-Summer, Hardy
Pink, Coral Bells (or Heuchera),
Linum (or Flax), Forget-me-not,
Japanese Bellflower (or Platyeo
doh), Iceland Poppy. Hardy Prim
rose (or Primula), Stonecrop (or
Sedum Acre), and Viola Cornuta.
Most rock garden perennials
bloom in spring nnd early summer,
presenting only foliage effects the
remainder of the season. There are
many appropriate annuals that may
be used to keep the rock garden in
flower in the slimmer. Annuals are
also helpful for securing color and
foliage masses during the first sea
son or two of a rock garden, when
perennials are not yet well estab
lished. Annuals are also useful for
covering any bare spots which may
appear.
The list of annuals suitable for
the rock garden includes the fol
lowing: Sand Verbena, Dwarf Floss
Flower (or Ageratum), Carpat-of-
Snow Alyssum, Little Gem Alys
gum, Brachycome (or Swan River
Daisy), China Pink. African Daisy,
California Poppy, Lobelia Celestial,
lee Plant, Baby Blue Eyes, Hare
bell Phacelia, Phlox Drummondi,
Moss Rose (or Portulaca), Bounc
ing Bet (or Saponaria), Poor Man’s
Orchid (or Schizanthus), Thun
bergia (or Black-Eyed Susan), Sea
Lavender (or Statice), Verbena,
Virginian Stock, and Nierembcrgia
Hippomanica (Dwarf Cup Flower).

KEEP a jar of chopped Brazil
nuts in a cool dry place on your :
pantry shelf. Mixed with sugar
and spice they make an excellent
topping for the busy day cake.
With the following nut topping no
frosting Is necessary. Mix one
cup chopped Brazil nuts with one
tablespoon granulated sugar, one
half teaspoon cinnamon and one
quarter teaspoon ground allspice
and nutmeg mixed. Sprinkle over
cake batter before baking. This
amount is sufficient topping for cake
baked in a nine-inch square pen.

. FIRST FAIR HELD IN AMERICA WAS IN SOUTH •
.»* IM
The first Fair in America is said
to have been held in Richmond,
Virginia, in May of 1742 and con
tinued for two days “for the sale
and vending of all manner of cattle,
victuals, provisions, goods, wares
and merchandises whatsoever."
• Let us compare that Fair of 1742
and the New York World’s Fair,
1939! The first American Fair last
ed two days, while It is probable
this one will last two years. In
1742 the "victuals’’ were undoubted
ly cooked and served by the good :
housewives of Richmond, while now
It will take 80 restaurants with a
total seating capacity of 43,200 to <
care for the estimated 300,000 <lally
visitors. ‘‘Goods, wares and mer
chandise" came to Richmond tor
display from a radius no greater,
perhaps, than fifty miles, w-hile 1939
sees 33 States and some 70 foreign
nations participating In the New
York World’s Fair. News of the
proposed Richmond Fair was cir
culated by word of mouth from
neighbor to neighbor, while now
there is a New York World’s Fair;

*|"HE word “boycott” has estab
■ lished a firm place for itself in
the English Language, although it
made its first appearance only a
little more than fifty years ago.
The word derives from a Captain
Boycott, a land agent in County
Mayo, Ireland, whose difficulties
with the Irish Land League in 1880
brought it into use. The word, in
varying forms, is also found in the
French, German, Russian and oths;
European Languages.
What is wrong with this sentence ?
“I am going to do my hair like
you do yours.”
The sentence should read—
“l am going to do my hair as
you do yours.” One thing is like
another. You do a thing as someone
else does ii.

Red Coral Always Prized
It is red edral that is anu always
has been prized, not solely for jew
elry and buttons, but as a charm to
bring safety, health and secrets not
revealed to the ordinary person. As
ancient Gauls rushed headlong in
to battle, they trusted their safety to
their swords, strength and the
“magic” coral imbedded in their
shields or helmets. Many Italians
and Indians regard coral as protec
tion against the “evil eye.” The
world's red coral comes from the
reefs off the Mediterranean coast of
Africa, says the Washington Post,
•nd is obtained chiefly by Italians,
$2.50 Gold Coins in 1796
The coinage of quarter-eagles, or
$2.50 gold pieces, commenced at the
Philadelphia mint in 1796 and was
continued until 1929 except for a
few years, says Popular Mechanics.
Other mints, except Carson City,
also hove produced them at various
times. The designs have been, of
three basic varieties, at first Liberty
facing the right, then in 1308 Liberty
facing the left, and finally in 1908
an Indian facing the left Many
minor changes of design were
made. One of the rarest is that
minted in 1834 which shows the mot
to “E pluribus unum” over the ea-
Cie.
