Those of us who like to sew are having a real field day with fabrics. Theres such a variety available, and everything is so colorful and pretty, it seems like its more fun to sew than almost anything else. Sheer organdies, colorful plastics, a finely woven broadcloth and other materials are all good basic materials for aprons. Women have collections of aprons as hobbies; others make money for incidentals by sewing aprons for others; and few women feel they ever have enough of them for every occasion. All of these make aprons a big and wonderful topic for consideration. Attractive Pattern Make Sewing Fun The day of the shapeless and humdrum apron is past.

These can be started In seed beds and the plants transplanted when other annuals start to die out. While the best use of annuals is to supply the house with flowers for bouquets, there are many others that are excellent in the garden, such as Petunias and Verbenas for edging. Morning glories for fences and trellis, Mignonette for perfume, and Strawflowers for drying. A good garden soil, enriched with fertilizer if necessary, plus good sun and water In dry periods are the minimum requirements for most annuals if they're sown at the proper time. l4 Birthday Ideas ANYBODY O Easy embroidery brings charm to every room.

EVERY GARDEN needs a few packets of seeds to round out the flowering season. There are many of tne old favorites that cannot be grown as perennials, or other conditions may make a permanent investment in perennials foolish. As we mentioned before annuals as well as vegetables must be sown at the right time. Some come from cool climates and must be sown early, like the sweet peas, while many others come irom the tropics and must be grown only in the warmer months. The list of annual flowers is a long one. The seed catalogs moke one dizzy. For variety try a packet or so of some of the ones you do not know. It will certainly add interest to your garden. While a complete flower garden can be made up of annuals, much of their value lies in the number of flowers they produce for bouquets. They can be planted right in the vegetable garden in rows or they can be planted in beds or in groups between shrubs or perennials in the Cower garden. Sweet peas will need sowing as soon as the ground can be worked. A deep rich soil is needed. There are some new kinds that do fairly well in warm weather but they are best in moist cool regions. Calendulas and Cosmos are among the plants that give good effect Plant early for best development. There are many fine new colors in both of these. Snapdragons will do well if sown early or if planted in a coldframe for earliest flowers. Some of the new ones are gigantic in size, with a striking color range. They can be cut again and again. Zinnias and Marigolds are among the best for cutting. There are giants and dwarfs In these two groups and a variety of colors. The dwarfs are especially useful for planting along edges of beds and for use in low centerpieces or small Va,ci.
