KNOW YOUR
LIBRARY
by
MAUDDEAN THOMPSON SEWARD
I was asked by a reader of this
column when to plant For-Get-MeNots. 

For-Got-Me-Nots are hardy annuals 
that should be sown outdoors 
during mild November days
so as to develop into thrifty seedling 
in the spring, almost before the
winter-wet soil may be prepared
for outdoor planting. With this
early start and cool, moist growing
weather, they will bloom in the
garden weeks ahead of springsown
annuals.
Should you be interested in
knowing some large groups you may
use in creating many of the
garden's best color combination
with your For-Get-Me-Nots, maybe 
these suggestions will help. For
additional information please call
by the Vance Avenue Branch of
the Cossitt Library and ask for a
copy of HOW To PLANT YOUR
HOME GROUND by Aul: and you
will find them in Chapter 64.
For-Get-Me-Nots, combined with
primroses, dwarf and crested iris,
bleeding hearts. Leopard's bane,
Virginia bluebell, blue phlox (rock
cress, and candytuft are among
the congenial, early perennial companions 
that bloom with the bulbs

in April and May.
Blue forget-me-nots and Virginia 
bluebells contrast well with
yellow, orange and rosy-carmine
colors. The pink flowering plum
and pink moss phlox need only
white tulips or deep pink ones to
complete a colorful early spring
picture.
Blue forgot-me-nots and blue
phlox divaricate are in tune with
pink and cdimson toned tulips and
complement yellow and orange colored 
ones. Brown, mahogany
purples and blue pansies harmonize
with plum and smoky-toned breeders. 
Yellow and white pansies furnish 
strong contrasts with them.
In general, you will find the
most pleasing color combination
based on three different but fairly
simple system. There are those
combinations consisting or flowers
having shades and tints of the
same color as different pinks or
yellows or violets, second system
uses closely related colors as yellow
orange and scarlet or crimson, violet
and blue, and third system, lavender, 
yellow, or white and red or
purple.

THEY MET AGAIN —
Shown (above) are National League slugger
Henry (Hank) Aaron, right, and Syd Pollock, general manager
of the famous Indianapolis Clowns. Aaron, who got his start
with the Clowns and was sold to the Milwaukee Braves by Pollock, 
is now drawing a top $40,000 a year salary. Major league
scouts will have their eyes geared on a number of young prospects 
when the Indianapolis Clowns clash with the sepia Pacific
Coast League champions, Los Angeles (Calif.) Hawks at the
Rough Rock Road Ball Park 5th Avenue and 35th Street, Bessemer, 
2:00 p. m., Sunday, May 11. In addition to the big ball
game, fans will enjoy some top rock 'n' roll comedy performances 
by King Tut, Spec BeBop and first baseman Nature (Gorgeous) 
Williams. Aaron was sold for $10,000.

LeMoyne College
