We are just wondering who from the east may drop in upon us next Sunday, making it four in a row. II. R. NEITZEL. SAVE ANNUALS FB0M FROST Gardeners can save many of their favorite annuals from the first heavy frosts and prolong enjoyment of their bloom by taking them indoors before cold weather kills them. The following flowers, according to the Ferry-Morse Seed Institute, may successfully be taken up and grown for several weeks indoors: Ageratum, begonia, calendula, carn ation, coleus, pinks, dimorphotheca, lobelia, dwarf marigold, pansy, pe tunia and snapdragon. The advent of killing frosts must, of course, be anticipated. About 24 hours before removing the plants soak the ground in which they are growing. In digging up the plants, take as much of the soil in which they are rooted as,can be contained in the flower pots. Cut away two thirds of the plant growth, place the pots in a sunny window and treat the flowers as ordinary house plants. Be cause of their nature, the plants should continue growth and flowering if properly treated. MURRAY STUDY CLUB The Murray .
