SAVING SEEDS.

The average farmer and gardener had
better pay twice what the seeds now cost
him than to save his own, and yet with
proper care a better article than can be
bought may be secured, and this at little
cost. Every man wants the best, and
that is the best which suits him the best
There is great diversity of taste; no
two agree as to which is the best, as the
same seed grown under different circum-
stances will produce different results.
Some prefer one form, color, or flavor;
another quite the reverse. This is an
individual matter, and cannot be settled
by argument. We all have our pref
erences as to species or types, whether in
vegetable, fruit or flower; and we want
the best of chosen type This can only
be had by selection of the plant that pro
duces Just such flowers or vegetables as
we prefer, and save the seeds from such
for future use. 1t requires great care
and no little skill to make selections valu-
able.
After choice of plants has beer made
the first flowers should not be allowed to
seed,a they are never SO perfect as those
that come later; so that it is difficult to
establish the type. If the second are all
that is desired, if they are improvements
over those of previous years, do not let
others on the same plant ripen seed, but
carefully remove all buds except the one
saved, and let that have all the vigor of
the plant until the seeds are ripe. Then
if the plant produces more flowers, it is
well enough, but the contents az one
capsule will be sufficient 70 keep up the
stock, and the seeds will be the best
that can be produced. The same is true
with vegetables. Do not save the first
squash, cucumber or tomato that forms;
the plant does not produce its best fruit
early. Cut it away, and if the second is
satisfactory let it have the full strength
of the plaut. This is the manner in
which types are improved and new va
rieties produced. Whenever flowers or
vegetables show the slightest improve
ment or change it is a sure indication of
a new, perhaps a distinct variety. From
this save the best specimen of vegetable
or flower, and do not allow another to
ripen seed. This means improvement,
and adds to the pleasure and profits of
gardening Amerie1a Agriealturist.

VALUE OF ASHES on GARDEN enouSD.

VALUE OF AsHEs ON GARDEN GROUND.
garden cannot be made sufficiently
fertile by the use of ashes alone. They
are exceedingly useful as far as they go,
but this is not far enough. Plants need
all the clements that are contained in the
ashes, but these are only the mineral
clements of the plants, and the iudispen-
sable nitrogen is wanting. If this is
supplied in the form of some good ferti-
hzer, the mixture will be complete
manure. A good way to supply the
nitrogen would be as nitrate of soda, of
which, for garden, 200 pounds to the
acre would not be too much.-Nes York

AT RIVERDALE
Important Improvements Completed and
in Contemplation.

Important improvements Completed and
in Contemplation.
"Riverdale is improving rapidly" said Mr..
B. II. Moore, the real estate agent, tand its
desrability as location for suburban homes
cannot be denied. Six or seven new cottages
are under construction, and as soon as they
are completed number of others will be be-
gun. Lots are being disposed of rapidly.
Most of the choicest lots are already sold. l
noticed in paper some time ago that some
one else than Mr.. j. A. Blundon was given the
credit for the improvements which this subdi-
vision has undergone. Mr.. Blundon is the
manager of the company owning the tract,
and it has been under his supervision that the
spot has undergone such a change Riverdale
is just six and one-quarter miles from the city
and adioins the town of Hyattsville. One
can drive there in forty-five minutes, while
between eighteen and twenty trains stop there
daily, which take some twenty minutes to run
there. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad runs
directly through Riverdale, dividing it almost
in equal parts. handsome depot has lately
been created at a cost of three thousand dol
lars, and in short time the express trains will
probably stop at Riverdale as they now do at
Hyattsville. Plans for store and post office
have been completed and the construction
will commence at once. The town covers
about five hundred acres, bounded on the west
by the Washington and Baltimore turnpike,
while on the east the Eastern Branch of the
Potomac runs through portion of it. The
streets have all been well drained and graded,
and shade trees have been planted along their
entire length

cite statue is nearly completed, and as soon as
the walks are finished few palms and sub
tropical plants will be placed about it to make
the surroundings still more attractive. After
the 1st of July it is projected to surround this
park with low granite coping, with piers at
each entrance, provided either with electric
lights OF high-power gas lamps.
"The fowersin parks this year will consist of
carpet beds, ornamental and Towering plants
of every variety, palms, and larger number
of sub-tropical plants. Last year we expert
mentcd with sub-tropical plants, such as
orange and banana plants, in the parks.
They thrived so successfully that larger
number will be placed in Franklin, Lafayette,
Lincoln, and other parks this summer. The
park in front of the National Theatre will
have four carpet beds planted mainly with
echeverra In the fountains will be placed
aquatic plants and tropical Towering lilies.
During the spring we have resurfaced the
asphalt footwalks generally and in some of
the parks have changed their direction so as to
give more direct travel to those passing
through the reservation"

1T HAS DOOMED PROPERTY.

Real Estate Advancing Near the Site of
the Proposed Lutheran Church.
The announcement last Sunday that the
Lutheran Memorial Church purposed erecting
edifice to cost from $50, 900 to $4,000 at the
corner of Maryland avenue and Eighth street
northeast had an immediate effect on property
in that neighborhood. During the past week
values have increased on Maryland avenue
from Sixth street as far east as Thirteenth 25
cents per square foot. Rapid improvements
are being made along Maryland avenue, which
is becoming one of the finest avenues in the
eastern section of the city. Last week Acker
81 Gadsby sold to j. H. Flemer for John A.
Swope triangular plot of ground bounded by
Eighth street, d street, and Maryland avenue.
1t contains about 1856 square feet and sold for
81 per square foot. 1t was bought by the
above firm twenty-eight days previous to this
sale for Sl.75. The property is directly across
Eighth street from the land upon which the
Lutheran Church is to be built. 1t is said that
Mr.. Flemer contemplates erecting drug store
upon it, with dwelling at the rear Mr..
Acker, in conversation with a HERALD re-
porter, said that he believed Maryland avenue
would be in time one of the handsomest in the
city. Fine residences are being built along it,
and the carettes make it easy to be reached

THE FEELING IN THE CITY.

There was no boAterous or hilarious
rejoicing and the result was as quietly
received, and as calmly considered and
with the same deliberate spirit which
was characteristic during the voting
at the polls. Municipal thought has
had It's influence aud has exercised n
determined stroke for reform. The
democracy can IN tho result see the
writing on the wall, which means that
the csty hail will be routed in the
spring and that the municipal offices
WEI be consigned to men whom tho
people can trust. The victory OF the
republicans In Grand Rapids yesterday
was accomplished by the assistance of
honest democrats who wished to ad-
minister rebuke to the petty side
walk politicians who have been run
ing that partyS Again the result shows
thaSthe great body OF laboring men
have quietly resolved not to be hood
winked by the sophistic utterances OF
the democratic party which has tried
to beguile them with the doctrine that
their interests and prospects would
be better promoted by free trade The
votes polled by the peoples party
shows how badly the democrats mis-
calculated theirstrength. The feeling
over the result was one OF congratu.

that the safety OF the district
but particularly the city depends upon

The resul. of the vote for Congress
man in this city. as cast yesterday,
shows that Mr.. Hutchins. the candidate
Of the Peoples party, split the Demo-
cratic vote in two and carried off about
one-third of it. The vote for Edwin
F. Uhl for Mayor last spring was 8, AS,
while the combined vote for Mr.. Law
renee and Mr.. Hutchins yesterday was
6.s79, as nearly ~ can Be ascertained
at present. OF these Mr.. Hutchins
had 1915, about ons-third. There is
no doubt that the greater portion Of
Mr.. Hutchins vote came from the
Democracy, for Mr.. Belknap's vote
falls only $40 short of Mr. stuarfs last
sprIrg, while Mr.. Lawrence's drops
2,sil below Mr.. UhPs. We have
taken for comparison the vote on
Mayor rather than that on Justice of
the Supreme Court, since that was
about thousand short of the full vote
cast in the city. While no mathemati-
cal precision can be claimed for the
demonstration. yet il is sufficiently ac-
