The letter from the editors asked Mrs. Franks to deal with the subject, "The Parade of Flowers from Spring to Fall," telling what plants are especially adapted to this region to get the earliest blooms in the spring, and a continuous con-tinuous show of blooming flowers through the summer months until the snow comes in the late fall. Mrs. Franks is an authority on this subject since that is exactly what she has succeeded in doing in her own garden, concentrating on large masses of bloom to follow each other through the entire season. sea-son. She has also tried to favor the plants which take the least amount of individual attention, and niaintain their beauty year after year.

Now i is the time when she is trimming out the small starts and gotting i rid of them.
