rdy and will grow anywhere.

A Member: Did I understand some one to say that the mulberry was not
hardy?

Mr. Maher: It was stated that it wasn't hardy in North Dakota.

A Member: I put mulberry trees in my garden yard that have been bearing
mulberries for years and years.

Mr. Maher: I think the mulberry is hardy from here south and especially
southeast. I don't think it would grow out on the prairie very far.

Mr. Richardson: It grows on the prairies southwest of here.

My Color Scheme.

MRS. R. P. BOYINGTON, NEMADJI.

"Oh, my garden lying whitely in
The moonlight and the dew,
With its soft caressing coloring,
Breathing peace to all who view."

Our garden color scheme this year was a number of red, white and blue
pictures, these pictures being supported, on the different sides, by
brilliant, oriental color effects.

The first picture had for its north side the south side of the cottage,
which was covered with climbing roses (American Pillars and Crimson
Rambler). A bed of petunias, six feet wide and as long as the cottage,
came next, and was separated from about four hundred delphiniums
(belladonna) by a walk which was bordered on both sides by a row of
candytuft and a row of forget-me-nots, blue as a baby's eye. To the
south of the delphiniums was a great bank of bridal wreath
chrysanthemums, white as the driven snow.

A walk on the east had the same--candytuft and forget-me-not border. To
the south and west of this picture were irises and Oriental poppies in
all the gorgeous coloring of the Orient, with a small space on the west
where hundreds of pansies nodded their lovely faces to the stately blue
larkspurs. Are we sure, as has been said, that God forgot to put a soul
in flowers?

To the east, beyond the walk, is another picture--Shasta daisies and
blue cornflowers. On the north side is a brilliant hedge of red sweet
peas. On the east and south of this most exquisite picture are Iceland
poppies, red pyrethrums, and here and there are clumps of dark red sweet
william. In the early morn, just after the "morning stars have sung
together," and the forces of day are slowly coming into action, this is
a wonderous picture.

On the north side of the cottage is a screened-in porch. Here cardinal
climber gives its myriads of cheerful bloom, while blue lobelia and
white anemones, with the porch boxes filled with vinca atmosphere of
beauty and cheer to those who come and take the
