THE ADvERrIsER 4 co.

. IVY << %< ~ +o The nower-iovins women of Montgom- cry continue to manifest deep interest in the Amateur Garden Contest of The Advertiser and the scheme to improve the yards of Montgomery is bearing fruit daily. The following letter concerning the growing of Dahlias has been received
 Mntgomery. Ala, May 3, 1902 Garden Editor The Advertiser:
 Why is 1t that the nower-loving people Of this city do not have more of the beautiful dahlias in their front or for that matter. their back yards?
 They are easy to grow. either from cut tings or tubers. The first of last year received one dozen clumps of field grown tubers or roots and must have gathered at least five or six hundred blooms. These old roots are in fun growth now and have many buds on them already, while some rooted cutting order ed this spring have bl $ on them and they are only about eight inches high.
 My advise to those buying the tubers is to plant them deep, say 10 to H inches, as this prevents all danger of freezing in this section. Dig holes twenty inches deep and twelve to fifteen inches in diameter. fill in six inches we'll rotted stable manure and two inches dirt and then plant the tubers. In case of rooted cuttings it would not be necessary to make holes quite so deep.
 In all cases select spots SO you need not take up the tubers each year as you get better results by not disturbing them.
 Water and plenty of 1t should be given the plants while blooming and in all cases late in the afternoons
 Large plants should produce from o5 to 100 blooms. but blooms should he cut often as this causes the plants to branch and bloom more and more.
 A very important point Is that they should be well staked and kept in an up- right position.
 We can produce as large blooms from the dahlia as our northern friends if we will give the plant the proper attention.
 Mrs. o. A. Clapp.

 Large, strong, nut-like seeds. such as those of the zinnia. marigoid, ana mas turtium, may be sown separately, being placed about the depth of four times their own size below the surface. These seeds should be placed In position one by one: and the ground well 'hrmed or pressed down above them Little, line seeds. sucn as poppy. portulaca. and petuna, snouId be scattered lightly and evenly above the surface, and merely hrmed down gently by pressing with narrow, even board. The pressure should be light and even. m no case should earth be spread above the tiny seeds.
 After-treatment should be practically Identical for all seeds. Administer one thorough, generous sprinkling. then leave them entirely and severely alone until the delicate green leaves and spears begin to make their appearance. which should be in anywhere from eight to fourteen days according to weather. soil and sunshine The most harmful habit Of the uniearned amateur-unless 1t be that Of working and enthusiastically for week or two and then neglecting the garden until the weeds have overgrown everytmng-is that of 'fussing with" the delicate young things LOO mucn.

Proper Way to Sow and Plant Seeds
 and Flowers.

To the unlearned inexperienced anna
 teur gardener there Is little or no differ

 In the estimation of the more experienced
 and in regard to the results of the two
 operations. there is a wide difference be- tween the two modes of treatment. Roots. bulbs. shrubs bushes. trees and started flowers should be planted" seeds, in all most all cases, should be 'sown," and

 with the other, being careful not to bend. break or crowd the roots unduly. Plants or roots which are to be moved rom one place to another should always be allowed to remain in the old position Tor at least day or two after cutting the earth around them loose with a trowel. Unless this course is followed any cut or broken roots will be slow in healing. and the plant, being placed in the new position. will be pretty sure to droop. Press the earth closely and firmly in
 finished, but do 1t all with care. gentle
 ness and attention. No roughness or
 haste should be used. From this point
 on treat seeds and newly planted flowers
 alike.
 Water thoroughly each evening, unless
 ing that watering Is useless-almost
 worse, since 1t only helps the crust of the earth to bake more firmly-unless the
 lower roots are refreshed and strength
 ened. And especially in regard to young
 seedlings, stir the ground about them
 gently two or three times a week. in or
 der that the growing rootlets may have
 a chance to receive all the air and mois-
 ture possible. Keep the weeds away from
 them, as they grow taller and stronger,
 and, having followed these simple 6irec-
 tions in spirit as we'll as letter, expect a fine crop of flowers.
 But this-the fine crop of flowers long ed after by every gardener, eager or care less. enthusiastic or iukewarm. profes- sional or the least experienced of anna teuh ioriculturists-need never be ex- pected unless the great intrinsic differ | ence between planting and sowing | seeds and roots ds recognized, and un-

When the pullets begin laying, they

are still growing.
If the eggshells are fed to the poul-

crush them thoroughly before feeding
A hen pays in proportion to the num-
