With the days now shortening appreciably to allow the farmers fewer hours for their field-work or other insistent endeavour a- bout. it sometimes falls to the hoiisewives at Alderlea. as it did this evening. to attend to the milking.

"Yes," Mack agreed softly. ob- viously well pleased with this turn, of events. "But we mustn't give them too much. It inclines them to be lazy. And you and I know.” he nodded. " a lazy catls no good."

Soon the work was over. the cows back to pasture. the stable left quiet and deserted to fill with-. the shadows of night.

And then with the children we strolled along the farm-lane. on the one hand to admire the foal. on the other " to see how well the heads in this grain-field are fIlled." Shadows of night dimmed the far hills. coming in to meet us over woodland and field. Day was passing.

"It's I kind of sad time of day thisewlien the dark comes in. ”Mack commented

They are very satislactory perennials in this gar- den and come in lovely colors. It is easy to save the seed and in this way many. many plants can be secured at little cost.

In the last edition of the English magazine. Gardening Illustrated we read by H. Crane...

What is the difference between a pansy and viola? I suppose this question has been asked ever since about the year 1895 (or perhaps earlier) when the cultivation of via- las began to interest gardeners. It is evident from references in liter- ature that some form of pansy had been Rrnwn in gardens in Englad for centuries. The plants were no doubt the forms of Viola tricolor L. This plant is listed in Hurst's Flowering Plants and Ferns of Prince Edward Island. but it is probably not really native to our island but was introduced by some of our early ancestors when they came from the old country.

This viola is commonly known

other quaint names such as. Cuddle- mtjrfpn-you. Love-in-idleness. Herb TI'"lll)' and several others.

The evolution of the cultiv:-ited garden pansy started with work began in England in I813 on the Heartsease-and the first recognis- ed tlorist's flower became known as thepshow Pansy. They are di- vided into two groups. namely: belted. having white or yellow ground with a broad band of col- our on the margins of the petals and a small dense blotch in the centre of the flower; and selfs. self colours of yellow and dark tints with a small blotch in the centre.

The Show Pansies raised in Eng- land were soon iiitrodiired to Fran- ce and Belgium and nursery men raised pansies with emphasis on brilliance of colour. It was then that the large blotch almost cover- ing the three lower petals-char acteristic of the pansy as most people know it. was developed. In England came the now vastly different forms of pansy and these became known as Fancy Pansics. The main points of a good Fancy Pansy are that it should be as
