Garden Talks (Contributed by the Wilmette Garden Cl~b) Are you among the foresighted ones who saw t)1at the frost was comir.g and brought in your vinca vines, your geraniumsJ your folia~e plants, and your ivy, the other mght before the frost came? The next morning, frost lay on every blade of grass and the bright red s~lvia of the day before was dead. The sun porch, made more cheerful by the presence of these newly potted plants, reminds one of the sunny baywindows of our grandmothers where the plants were arranged in rows on a tall wire affair that always stood near the sunniest windows. The present day substitute for this is a wrought iron standard like a stem with branches, on which at intervals stand bright colored P,Ottery jars in which the plants are placed-very modern, very oretty.
