COLORS IN ANNUALS
By L. M. BENNINGTON.
For summer flowering, annuals are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet is but a trifle.
Good taste dictates the system of
planting large bunches of single spe
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing a dozen varieties in as
many square feet.
It is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses in a vase
rather than the heterogenous collec
tion in the old-fashioned bouquet.
Mass your flowers if you would secure
the best effect.
The old calllopsis, “lady’s breastpin’’
they used to call it, is a handsome
plant, its long slender steins render
ing it extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades of gold and brown
harmonizing nicely.
A mass of it next to the shrubbery
in the background gives a most pleas
ing effect.
Some handsome forms of single
dahlia may be secured by planting a
packet of the seeds in pots early in
the spring and transplanting the
young seedlings to the garden as soon
as danger from frost is over.
The colors of some are very fine
and to one liking the single flowers
the plan is a good one of getting a
variety at a small price; but unless
started very early these seedlings
rarely mature tubers that will keep
through the winter, though they com
mence flowering almost as soon as the
plants are started from the tubers.
The chrysanthemum-flowered asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
in masses and for cutting, than the
quilled bouquet sorts. If but two
kinds are chosen, let them be lavender
and white with rose as a third choice.
When ordering seeds there is a
strong temptation to order mixed
packets, yet if the very finest speci
mens are expected, the surer way is
to single out one or two of the choicest
colors.
These are made up from the best
individuals, while the mixed packets
are what the name implies, though in
many instances highly satisfactory.
With pansies for spring, sweet peas
for summer, and asters for autumn,
one may be sure of having an abun
dance of the most beautiful cut-flowers
for all occasions.
John C. Parker was appointed on
Omaha’s letter carrier force in 1892,
where he has given good service. He
was born in Martirisliurg, VV. Va., in
January, 1862, and removed with his
parents to Chillicothe, O., in 1865.
He received his education and re
mained there until he was 21 yeais of
age, when he came to Omaha. Mr.
Parker is active in religious affairs,
having been for a number of years
choir director and Sunday School su
perintendent of St. John’s A. M. E.
church, in which office he has been
most efficient and faithful. Mr. and
Mrs. Parker reside at 3829 North 21st
street. He is an excellent type of our
best citizenship.
OMAHA BOOSTS STATE FAIR.
At a meeting of officials of various
business and civic organizations of
Omaha held Wednesday at the Com
mercial club, it was decided to make
a special effort to increase the attend
ance at the state fair on Omaha day,
Thursday, September “**t. The un
usual program of attractions present
ed by the fair management on this
date will probably stimulate a larger
attendance than on former record
breaking Thursdays.
The state fair is popular with Orn
ahans, and it is expected that several
thousand will attend the big state ex
position on Omaha day.
