Of the report that the Russian fleet was

POPULAR GARDENING

crowns start.
One Of the lovely blossoms of April
is mountain rock cress, which covers
rocks and dry places with its close
heads Of fragrant pure white flowers.
Fresh plantations of violets should
be made each year in April, the soil
being thoroughly dug and manured
with old hotbed material and plenty Of
leaf mold. Old mortar is also desira-
BILE, but win not be needed in a chalky
soil, which should suit violets well.-
Brooklyn Citizen.
This is the day Of gardens for old
and young, men, women and children.
and the day when city dwellers were
condemned to eternal banishment from
green fields and q share in garden plots

steam and trolley lines to take them

Moving the lawn should begin in the
spring as soon as the grass is tan
enough. The most frequent mowings
are needed early in the season, when
the grass is growing rapidly. If it is
moved once OF twice week at the
period OF most rapid growth it will not
be necessary to rake Off the mowings.
April is critical time for the fore
ing apparatus Hotbeds, cold frames
and pits must have plenty of air and
water when vegetation is making rapid
growth under bright April sunshine.

neeeher,s YouthfuI EaiIInn.

I remember a delightful little sup
per which took place at the Fields
residence while the war was still in
progress. The guests of the occa-
sion we're Mrs. Stowe, with one.of
her daughters, Henry Ward Beecher
and myself. Mr.. Beecher had occu-
pied part of the evening with a stir
ring lecture on some topic relative
to the crisis of the moment. There
had been talk of a new federation
Of states, from which New England
should be excluded. The lecturer
had said, Il take it that there will
be patching and darning on our ma
tional map when New England is
left out in the cold" He had also
humorously commented upon the
grandiose style Of Yankee lying in
comparison with that of our English
relatives. At the supper which fol-
lowed Mrs. Stowe said to her broth
er, "Henry, when you were a boy
you used to lie in that lordly Yam
kee fashion of which you spoke in
your lecture just now" To this ac-
cusation Mr.. Beecher laughingly
pleaded guilty, amusing us with
some anecdotes of his youthful mis-
chief.-Julia Ward Howe in Read

GARDEN SNAPSHOTS

The best thing for the garden-brains.
Cut the black knot out of the plum
and cherry trees.
Bone meal and wood ashes in the
soil are great for sweet peas.
Probably no other small fruit will
give more weight of crop for the space
it occupies than the currant.
Don't trim the cherry trees now.
Wait till June and then be light hand
ed.
To bleed the grapevines by cutting
during March, April or May is bad
management.
Radishes are usually ready for use in
six weeks from sowing.
Cold frames are useful for forward
ing lettuce and cabbage in spring or
early summer.
If the rhubarb is run out or more
plants are wanted it can be propagated
By dividing the old roots. Each eye OF
bud when broken apart with a root at
tached forms a plant.
For the good OF the lawn some gar
denerS scatter leflllzer or bone meal
on the last light snowfall, or a light
dressing of manure left on through the
spring rains will disfgure the lawn
only for short time and can then be
raked off.
As soon as the snow is gone it is in
order TO ply the rake on grass plats
and borders, thus cleaning up manure
and litter of the winter. The roller, too,
well used win remove the roughness
caused by the soil heaving with frost
One Of the, errors Of garden lovers is
that they often plan to do more than
they can carry out successfully. To
have everything neat, thrifty and beau
tiful on a smaller scale gives FAR more
satisfaction than an overgrown place
full of ambitious and unsuccessful at.
tempts.
