She says there are a' good many plants that can be grown in the south that are not a success here. For instance, the hollyhock, a very beautiful plant, seldom survives. For spring flowering this lady suggest polyanthus, English daises, Leatorbane (yellow daUy). forget-me-nots, pansies and Arabas frock cress). These will all stand the winter and make a good showing-in the spring. For early summer there are columbine, painted $aiiieg, delphinijinj;' gypsophila, monkhood, spirea j,(.Van Houtti), Lupin; and Oriental poppies. Later in the season are the shasta daisy, michael- mas daisy, Japanese sunflower, goldenglowrchrysan- crocus and daffodils are not mentioned and" neither are the tubers, such as dahlias, all of which do well. Early spring flowers should be planted in the fall, but they may be moved early in the season if plenty of mould is taken with them and the rooj& are not much disturbed. If possible, plants of these should be purchased in Prince Rupert from local gardens, as they are then not so likely to be injured in moving. mm 1 . Ajj'-V HUD .
