For early spring bloom the hardy peren-

you are making a new garden this year.
it will be wise to dismiss all thought OF
early bloom. You can obtain 1t in a much
more satisfactory manner by buying pot
ted plants such as pansies, tulips etc
and buryfng the pots in the beds, while
you are waiting for the seeds OF later
Towering kinds to come up.
Select seeds OF varieties that VIA flower
late in June and in the following months.
Then in the fall you can SOW early flow
ering biennia!s and put in bulbs and root
stocks for the bloom of the following
spring.
OF course, there are exceptions to the
general rule laid down here. Every year
horticulture is producing new varieties OF
old species. For instance, Ii is possible
now to get a hollyhock seed that will
flower the first season. The old-fash-
toned hollyhocks did not flower until the
year after they were sown. Reliable
seedsmen Will always be willing to tell
purchasers il certain seeds will not pro-
duce plants Towering the same season.
Therefore. in selecting seeds of varieties
unknown to you, he sure to inquire before
purchasing.

What is the best way to save all

which every scrap OF combustible
waste is thrown. When it il full

for every bit Of SCOT.
Keep old buckets, paint kegs or
other wstertight receptacles either
in the cellar or corner of the gar

water Into another have the soap

soapsuds handy; but you will often
see insects on your plants when you
haven't the time to mix anything to
kill them. If the soapsuds are all
ready it will take you only a moment

the compost heap can be made an

Fish Points.
In boiling fish the water should be cold
when the fish is put into the kettle. If
hot the outside will get tender and break
TO pieces before the inside is sufficiently
cooked. Boil until one Of the fins can be
drawn out easily. Most kinds of fish will

in which latter case you will lose
some OF the best fertilizing material.
The first offering from your garden
this spring will probably be sod that
you broke up when making flower or
vegetable beds. This sod must under
no circumstances be turned under in
the beds The roots will simply make
new grass and bother you all the
season. Throw up the sod. roots
up. in the place selected for the
compost heap. If you have no pit
you can lay the first sods in a circle
to make the foundation and wall for
the heap.
Don't let a single blade of grass. a
single flower or weed stem go any
where except to the heap. All litter,
even old paper and bits Of wood. goes
there. At intervals they can be
burned. which will give the heap
the added value Of ashes.
AS the garden refuse goes on the
pile, pound it down with the spade.
This will hurry decomposition.
If weeds go on always burn the
seed heads. A little quick lime now
and then Is good.
You can raise splendid pumpkins
and watermelons around the compost
heap. Morning glory, hop vine and
honeysuckle will thrive there and
cover it in a few months. While the
vines are growing the pile can be
hidden by brushwood. which will
afterward serve as welcome support
for the vines.
