SUCCESSION OF BLOOMS
By MRS HOWARD SEARCY
When we acquire a house either
by purchase or through the great
joy and experience of acting the
amateur architect by planning de-
signing and having constructd un-
der our watchful eye to us the
most wonderful structure in all
the world — our: home— we have in
mind a picture in which we see the
structure properly framed by
proper landscape gardening II
needs a proper setting of beautiful
nature to blend it into its surround-
ings or otherwise it might remind
us of what we call in art a trans-
fer the house seemingly being
tossed onto the ground and glued
there
Analyze the grounds of any
pleasing estate and you will find
ihe first essential creating beauty
is tho order of planting "Order is
Heaven’s firsl law” A place for
every plant and every plant in its
place Before we begin (he plant-
ing we must lake into considera-
tion Ihe size of our grounds With
a large estate the planting may be
extensive but with grounds cover-
ing a frontage from 60 to 150 feel
it 'would be: wise to confine the
planting of 'shrubs perrnnials an-
nuals and bulbs to a foundation
planting and herhacious borders
with such an arrangement it would
leave a lawn free and clear from
incumbrances a fitting background
for your entire picture
In considering (he planting of the
foundation border the color
scheme of Ihe house must be
reckoned with If the structure is
of red brick brown or dark hues
all iTlooms of red ami pink sliouh-
be forever banished from Ihe bord-
ers hut use profusely while and
yellow If the building is white
gray or neutral lonp any color
scheme preferred will create har-
mony provided flowers blooming
al same lime in same border are
not clashing

The next consideration in foun-
dation planting is choosing plants
to suit the exposure In this cli-
mate the four sides of the house
might be compared to the Frigid
Temperate aqd Torrid Zones: the
south exposure being the latter
zone: the west exposure being
somewhat removed from the Equa-
tor while the north and east ex
posure are quite deligftlfu'l land
where you may be reasonable sure
of having blooming success the en-
tire season The south exposure
offers an ideal location for all
spring flowering bulbs' from the
first crocus bloom in March Ihe
earliest of his family out of his
winter bed ready and waiting (o
receive the whole narcissus family
from the giant Von Sion Emperor
and Empress on through dozens of
varieties lo the beautiful and
dainty Poets Narcissus appearing
in early April While the Narcissus
is still here Ihe Jonquils and Daffo-
dils make their -appearance All
of lliese bulbs adapt themselves
well to naturalizing that is plant-
ing in clumps under frees with the
crocus plaid ed promiscuously over
(he lawn their blooming period
being past before (ho first lawn
mowing With all this yellow and
gold we have the Hyacinth in al:
the beautiful hues purples and
rose The violet and dwarf Iris
blooming profusely and making
harmonious borders of purple The
red and white honeysuckle may be
seen from a back trellis even in
February if they ever ceased fheir
previous year’s blooming The early
tulip appears also in March and
stays until the aristocratic Darwin
and Breeder Tulips open their gor-
geous blooms in April the latter
often attaining a height of 2 1-2
feet with colors running from
white yellow variagated and all the
shades of red In their daring
daring dashing bri'liancy they
might well be called the vampire of
the garden
Spirea Van Houfei the old fash-
ioned bridal wreath has appeared
in all its daintiness near the Am-
pelopsis covered chimney place and
corners of the foundation The
Columbine the state flower of Col-
orado with its wonderful blooms
of yellow rose blue ruby and com-
bination of colors may now be
found in the north exposure of the
foundation border Philadelphus
or Mock ‘ Orange a native of our
own Cherokee " hills is next to
bloom at a rear corner ‘of lh
border The climbing Meteor from
a trellis opens ils buds bv the firsl
of May then the climbing Ameri-
can beauty (he most arislocratie of
all climbers hardy as an oak
blooms in all ils elegance
The annual Larkspur coming
from self sown seed in the border
where the tulip reigned blooms hy
(lie middle of May in ils dainty
satisfying tones 'of while pink rose
lavender blue and purple against
a background of Hie pink Excelsa
rambler rose entwining itself on r
porrh trellis From among the
lace-like foilage of Ihe Larksnur
Ihe stalely Madonna Lily opens her
pure white blooms creating in all
a color harmony almost divine Af-
ter all this satisfying beauty
Mourns the salmon e'olored Corn
Lily and the Ytirea Plant with its
great soikes of heavy waxey bells
This plant is not at all particular
about its location for its native
home is tho staked nlains of Texas
and Old Mexico Then from May
until December blooms the old
fashioned Bouncing Beauties and
Fever Few and neither are more
particular about their location than
Ihe Yucca plant Then the Shasta
Daisy makes her summer visit It
is now the first of July when the
faithful and reliable hardy Phlox
begins (o shed its fragrance from
its bloom of pure while pink var-
iegated and lavender II attains a
height of 5 o 6 fepf and for this
reason it is placed at the back of
the border thriving well in any lo-
cation With the Phlox come Ihe
brilliant Salvia and with it makes a
wonderful rombinafion ' for the
north exposure using Petuntys
which have the same blooming per-
iod for Ihe border
1 The popular Gladioli appears
with the Phlox and Salvia and is
splendid for filling in spaces ap-
pearing in all shades perhaps ex-
cepting Ihe pure blues Tho hardy
Hvdrangia forming (lie background
of the north exposure blooms from
July until frost The Snapdragons
like Ihe Gladioli is ideal for filling
and one of the most beautiful
flowers that bloom The Aster ap-
pears the first of August and is
a wonderful success if the season
is cool hut rather a failure if our
August and early September are

And if there’s a meaner place this side
of hell it Is still unfound
But there is still one consolation
gather closely whlle I tell
When we die we’re bound for heaven
for we’ve done our hitch in hell
We’ve built a hundred kitchens for
the cooks to stew our beans
We’ve stood a thousand guard mounts
and cleaned the camp latrines
We’ve washed a million dishes and
peeled a million spuds
We’ve rolled a million blanket rolls
and washed as many duds
The number of parades we’ve stood
would be most hard to tell:
But we’ll not parade in heuven boys
for we’ve done our hitch In hell
We’ve killed a thousand rattle snakes
that tried to steal our cots
And shook a million cestipedes out of
our army socks
We’ve marched a hundred thousand
miles and tnade ten dhougond camps
And we’ve pulled a 'million cactus
thorns out of our army pants
But when our missions ended our
friend will gently tell
"When they died they went to heaven
for they did their hitch In hell”
When the final taps are sounded we’ll
parade the golden stairs
Then we’ll hear St Peter tell us loudly
with a yell
"Take a front sent In heaven bays for
you've done your hitch In hell"
