Archibald Lampman.

We have had beautiful summery days to garden and gather in the fruits of the orchard and fields October is a busy month! There is a flutter and ibustle in both countryside and garden as those who will sleep through the win- ter agitate arid scramble for A last meal. Even the squirrel. who has several stores of nuts. shares in the greedy excitement.

A ripeness pervades the October air. even nuts and berries are not without their scent. and all of these fruits add almost as much to the total of Autunnrs frag- rance as to her vivid beauty, and when we gather the autumn gold of the woods and fields and gar- den, we have the desire to defy the moods of autumn. and to cheat rude winter of his icy victory.

when putting up bulbs for win- er blooming we have this in mind And there is a satisfaction in see- ing the number and variety we have been able to gather together.

This year some new bulbs were added to the collection here and it is interesting to look forward '0 their blooming.

Bulbs make ideal house plants for flowers in the winter months. from the early Paperwhite Nar- zissus to the later Tulips. New hybrids have been grown of the Daffodils bringing them into bloom, from three weeks. to five after they have been potted up In earns or when grown in peb- bles or water. six of these early varieties were planted and more of the older bulbs were potted up and carried to a dark corner of the cellar after being well-water- ed. A few fragrant while Hyacinths and the fragrance Iris Retlculta. also (Star of Bethlehem) Ornitho- lalum including the "Ohlncher- inchee" from south Africa were planted for the mat time.

A number of years ago the odd bulb by the name of Eremurus was grown in the garden here and it was an imposing plant with spikes of rosy pink flowers grow- ing as tall as six to eight feet in height. They need a well-drained spot in the sun and just a few inches of covering.'A covering of spruos bong!-is will keep them from starting hto growth too early in arms and being frozen then.

l-hit "WY will be as lovely as the catalog description. A few out. door Tulips have been planted to; early bloom but the most of them will be planted next month so the spring color will last longer than last year. The few days left in October will'be used to gather in the Dahiias and Glnds that are still out in the garden.

October could not stay. Her flame Was as a sacrificial fire.

The flowers departed as they came.

- When Kill'd8liL'l'5 do their planting in the autumn they believe as the poet has written, and they are hap- py ln anticipation of the garlands of spring. Blue Delphinium and yellow Potentilla in quantity were planted in a new border and be- cause these lovely blue and yellow flowers are favorites of this gar- dener and there have never been enough in the garden here. this makes it a pleasant corner to think about until spring. There are sev- eval lovely blue spikt-s blooming tiow and they combine nicely with the crimson and yellow Chrysanthe- mums for cutllowers in the decora- tion where needed. Beautiful Mai'i- golds and Calendulas are still bloom- ing in the garden and are usually among the very last flowers in the garden. Marigolds in mediaevai times were called just Golds. and small wonder, for in mass. the old. Pot Marigold looks like a sea of, shimmering gold. I think it is one. of the most beautiful of the old- lashioned flowers. They gradually Acquired the name Mariglds, i.e. Golds dedicated to the Virgin Mary. tor they were the flowers of her festivals. The petals of Mnrigolds were used medlcinally and also were a common feature in salads.

So highly were the petals valued for their health-giving qualities that they used to be dried and stored for winter use in soups. stews, and other foods.

Every possible use was made of Marigold petals mcdicinally. They were added to cardials and given to those suffering from colds. Mari- gold water was used for inflam- ed eyes. wasp and bee stings were alleviated by rubbing the affected parts with the petals. (I should have tried them in the summer). They were also regarded as a ram- edy for warts. and they were com- monly used for children's ailments of all sorts.

Turner. "the Father of English Botany." observes wither-ingly that some women. not content with the natural colour of their hair. used the petals to turn it a golden col- our. and conserves of the petals (made by pounding them with an equal weight of sugar in a paste) were. given to those who suffered from weak hearts.

Marlgolds were a lovely and im- portant flower in the years gone by and now they are making our gardens bright and coloful for a long summer and unti frost comes

Next to visiting these gar- dens. to see lovely photographs and to hear about them from observant visitors is very enjoyable. The arches of roses appealed to me. as well as the uoudertul shrubs and other plantings that we luive not had here in this Province. It is safe to say that aim st every visitor to that far western pi-ovim-e is taken to these famous gardens as they coiisider them to be one ol' their famous beauty spots in that lovely province.

At this season of the year the evercgrcen licdges and spct-itnenj trees and slirubs show up their worth as they add to the form and beauty of our homes and gardens. at this time. Miiliy lovely Rhod- odendrons and Azalvas are being experimented with at our Memor- ial Nursery. some have wintered satisftictorily for several years and are covered with large fat buds ready for spring blooming. The one Rhododendron in this garden has thrived for several years and our gardens may soon contain many of these lovely shrubs.

Now that summer is nearly over, in the corners of the evergreen gar- den we can escape the hint of ap- proaching autumn. It lies beyond the hedge. where we see the cool waters of the bay. Seats are placed here in this quiet enclosure when- the bright raimeiit of spring is still worn. for the slicars were busy

Here in the cool of the evening ke may rest and enjoy the trag- rance of the garden. strangely like the first sweet scent of the nar- clssus in April. Here is the green elegance that never varies, tunes and seasons may well be ignored. for a green hedge makes a lovely garden all year. in spring as well as in Autumn.

AN AUTUMN SUNSET

One moment the slim cloud-fl:-ikesp seem to lean

With their sad sunward faces aura- oled.

And longing lips set. dnu'lwaI'd brightening

To take the last sweet hand-kiss of the King.

Gone down beyond the closing west acold.

Paying no reverance to the slender

queen.

Hangs low in heaven, rounded to- ward the sun.

Or the small stars that one by One unfold

Down the grey border of the mill" begun.

Scoutsl Pumpkin Pie

By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

PLANS for Halloween started way back last spring for 14 mem- bers of Troop I, Waukegan. Nortli Chicago Girl Scouts.

They began their agricultural activities with Project Pumpkin Shed.

Backyard Gardens

They planted in home l)iiCl()'iil'fl5. weeded, watered. hoed. until. to quote some verses the girls wrote: "The plants scemed to tumble 'in out of the ground, and soon huge vines spread all around. The buns burst into a golden glow as till: swelling fruit began to show. Time came to harvest Ihe balls of gold as summer left and days grew cold. With turns and twists of sharpened knife. the girls brought their pump- kins to life. With leer and smile and yawn and glare. those Jack O'l.anterns were beyond compare!"

After receiving due honors. the Scouts plan to use their Jack 0'Lanterns to make pumpkin pies.

Color Works Wonders For Walls and Floors

By ELEANOR IDII

WALLS and floors are getting more attention than ever before.

The annual home furnishings show in New York. a fall event. em- phasized the importance nf clever treatment of these formerly back- ground surfaces. Unusual Designs

One floor was worked in titr- quoise. slate. blue and white cera- mic tlles. arranged in stripes, on a speckled terra cotta ground. An- other ground surface was of pew- ter-trimmed cork. the pewter divid- ing the cork into vari-sized rec- tangles. The motlf was carried out in metal furniture used in this room, the metal finished to simulate cork. The turquoise combination was used in a beach house room with the emphasis on blue.

An attractive linoleum installs.- tipn was speckled black and white, with white stripping in a geometric design. This material aLsn starred in another setting - plain char- treuso linoleum alternated with mottled white for It stunning effect.

All on One Rosy Theme

In yet, another floor, a. pink- toned plastic resembling terrazzo was eye-catching. What made the room a show-stopper was the idea of using the flooring to decorate also the fronts of a group of simple chests strung along one wall. The walls were of grass paper. and, like the soft and two mnldcd chairs on brass legs, were in variations nl pink.
