There's st I tim
July and last well into
September.
So take a little time'
now and enjoy the beauty
later. It really adds to the
appearance of your home,
too! If you hav any ques­
tions about houseplants or
gardening in general, write

Summer is here! Beauti­
ful flo ers are coming up
e ry here! And, if you
hurry, you still have time to
plant your garden for con­
tinuous summer blooms.
It n dn't b a big terrace
g rden. A sm II patch of
g rden or bord r will do.
And it' easy nd inex­
p nsi !
There re t 0 avs to
plant flo er g rden; buy _--------------- ......... --�
the pJ nts t a nursery nd
plant them directly in the
g rd n or buy seeds and •
sow thes in the garden.
Personnallv, I find
ds the better way. It
i easier and cheaper ith
the me r ults. Especially
if you hav only a small
sp ce to wor with.
So ing seeds is not
h rd. I usually pick two or
three varieties, varying in
hei hi and complimenting
colors. arigolds, zinninas,
Ivia, alysuum, p tunias, L�=��!!!�=t_ _:__bd� •• II1�LI
nd moss roses e just a
few that do ell from ed.
I ha had the best luc
ith marigolds and alysu­
urn. The flo ers do ell
together and the colors
complim nt each other nice­
·Iy.
Just follow the direc-
ns on the b c of the
seed packet and you can't
go ong. One variation I
use, though, is to so the
seeds in little groups ins ead
of ro • This gives you a
more natural look, when
they start to come up. Be
sure to keep the soil moist
at all times. (E ven after
the flo ers corne up.) And
be sure to keep the weeds
away as best you can.
If you plant now your
flowers should come up
around the beginning of
