PLANNING
THE GARDEN
While Winter is Here Wise
Ones Prepare For the
Spring

At this season Of the year. although
the snow lies thick on the ground, the
lover Of flowers and horticulture Is
planning the garden which he means to
have when the spring comes. His lit
erature includes treaties learned and
confusing, but unless he
make plansa nd preparations before
the actual gardening time arrives the
result Is bound TO be haphazard. As "a
general thing plants which have been
growing ali the winter are not in good
condition in the spring and will be con-
stantly dropping foliage. But there are
many plants from which cuttings may
he taken, and these can be growing
while plans for the garden are ma
turing. Geraniumss are easily grown,
and there is always a corner which
can be made beautiful with them. only
the Young end Of the shoots should be
used. and these should he cut so that
a Joint of the plant win be under the
surface Of the soil. A sandy soil Is
better than pure sand, although the
plants will grow more rapidly in tho
latter. Its disadvantage is that the
plant has to be removed as soon as
some roots have formed. Many other
flowers may be grown in the same way
such as coleus, begonias and parlor
ivy.

PENNSY HOLDS UP FREIGHT
Many Complaints Are Made Of Rail-
roads Arbitrary Actions.

Exorbitant switching charges and
the holding up Of freight which has to
be sent over the Pennsylvania tracks
are complained Of by some Of the large
manufacturers and dealers in the East.
1t is stated that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has removed the
switches connecting their tracks with
other lines. so that it is impossible to
have freight transferred from other
lines to the Pennsylvania tracks. AS
the Pennsylvania are the only tracks
reaching many factories. this virtually
cuts off all freight not sent from points
on the line of the Pennsylvania road.
The bituminous coal miners arc also
complaining Of the high rates charged
them, which they claim are as great as
to bar them from fair competition with
miners on other lines Of road. The
mine owners will hold meeting in
Philadelphia to-day at which they will
formulate a complaint to be sent to the
railroad company.
