HANGING FLOWER BASKETS
Hanging backets of flowers give an attractive note of colour to the porches and verandahs of our homes. In towns hanging baskets and windowboxes arc even more appreciated. They brighten a dull street wonderfully and it is a pity more people do not cultivate them, for their beauty is well worth the little trouble they give. In the baskets lobelia and geraniums always look well. Calceolaria is seldom planted in the hanging basket, though it would have a brightening effect there. Climbing geraniums, which will hang over the edge of the baskets are cliaming, and bloom prolificaily all the summer.- Lobelia, both light and dark blue, will flower for two or three months also if carefully attended to. Ferns should be planted with the • flowers; smilax is very graceful, and maidenhair fern is pretty, but not very hardy. ‘ • \
