Humans Are Made Crabs by Side. Seated Cars

~ men who are unable to do days

HAVE LONG DURATION OF LIFE
Salt Water Denizens Attain Immense
Age, If Scientific investigations
Are Correct.

Water. particularly salt water,
seems to conduce to longevity. There
are gigantic mussels and oysters
whose age is assumed to be compar-
able only with that of the Cape Verde
baobab tree and the big tree of Cali
fornia, which live for 5000 years. In
deed, there appears no particular
reason why mussels should ever die,
though it is also true that, consider
ing the sort of life a mussel leads,
there seems no particular reason why
it should ever have lived.
Sea anemones, again. delicate and
sensitive though they look when we
see them in the rock pools, may at

Scottish naturalist. captured in 1928
a sea anemone of the liver-colored
sort so common around our shores.

years. II fiourished in Edinburgh un-
til 1887, and was just attaining vigor

Dwarf Tomatoes.

Tomatoes are one of, II not the
most, popular summer vegetables.
This worldwide favorite Is of CON-
paratively recent use as an edible. 1t
was originally cultivated for its deco
rative features only, the fruit being
called love Apples" and people con-
sidering them to be poisonous. This
singular error was probably due to
the fact that tomatoes belong to the
"Nightshade" family. several OF whose
members are deadly poison to human
beings.
The popularity Of tomatoes is due
largely to the great variety OF ways In
which they can be prepared for the
table. No other vegetable can be eat
en- raw or cooked in such variety OF
forms. No other vegetable has wider
range of growth, is easier to grow,
" produces more from the land.

Tomatoes were originally divided

Tomatoes were originally divided
into the tree and bush classes, after
tLeir manner of growth. About so
years ago French market gardener
noticed a sturdy low-growing tomato
bush in a field of ordinary vines. We
say bush advisedly, because it had a
short, strong stalk and stood right up,
holding its branches and fruit off the
ground
From his original plant sport" has
been developed great variety of
dwarf tomatoes. This peculiar occur
renee has never re-occurred, and II
this humble gardener had not pre-
served his remarkable plant, the
world would be without race. of
commercial tomatoes that bids fair
to put the larger sorts out of bust
ness, so far as the large grower is
concerned. We have long been famil-
lar with tomatoes which are dwarf as
to the size OF the fruit and they need
not be considered seriously.
The new dwarf has full-sized fruit
OF the very best quality, and while
each plant bears fewer tomatoes, the
dwarf will produce a great many
more tomatoes from given area
than will the larger bushes, because
1t spreads less and may be planted
closer together. Where the large
varieties will go about 400 to the
acre, planted four feet apart, and will
yield about $50 bushels of good fruit,
the Giant Dwarf may be planted 2la
by 31s feet apart. nearly 5000 plants
to the acre, and has frequently yield,
ed 600 bushels.
Even if this were to be overlooked
entirely. the fact that the dwarf TO-
mato plant does not have to be tied
or staked up, makes it much better
for both the small garden and the
market garden. The fruit is naturally
kept off the ground and ripens with
out rottlng in the attempt. Handle
them just as you have handled the
large varieties and plant them closer
together and forget about the stakes.
The Giant Dwarf is the most com.
mon dwarf variety in this country
and we advise you to try few plants
this year Or next. Thorough cultiva-
ton is necessary, as with any other
tomato, and you must break up the
surface after every rain. Another ex.
cellent forcing plan is to sink a bot
tomless tin can in the ground by each
plant and pour liquid fertilizer. or
even plain water, into it twice weekly.

LaVjnu Out Flower Beds.

Why do people plant flowers in
beds? Everyone does it, and there is
hardly one in hundred that knows
why they plant them In beds instead
of singly and scattered or some other
way, They do it because everybody
else does it.
Planting flowers is a good deal like
growing whiskers in some ways. Right
after the Civil war every man grew
full beard, because so many of the
returning heroes had boards through
necessity that they made whiskers
fashionable.
That's why we plant flowers in beds.
Because the other fellow did, and still
does. But fortunately there are mighty
good underlying reasons for so doing,
whether We understand them or not.
In the first place, the herbaceous or
soft Steamed plants usually look bet.
ter in masses, lines or other groups. A
large or continuous mass of color
makes strong impression upon the Oh.
server where few scattered blooms
would be ignored. A single soldier is
unnoticed, but the marching of a reg.
iment thrills the very soul So 1t is
with flowers, and this cumulative eff.
feet Is the biggest reason for massing
them together.
Perhaps the only other immediate al.
tentative would be to scatter them
about over the lawn as they occur in
nature-a group of blue here, single
pink there, etc. This is all very well
for the yard that is kept In wild
state, but it will never do for the fin.
ished city or suburban lot 1t makes
a fair, smooth lawn impossible and
the combination of natural flower ar.
engagements and polished gardening &C.
cessories spoils the effect of each one.
AS far as possible, the beds should
be kept at the outer edges of the lawn
to avoid cutting it up and making it
look small. The old-fashioned, formal
beds-round, square, star-shaped, dia-
mond or crescent-are not In good
taste now, and the lines of the beds
should be irregular, although clearly
defined. This applies to every walk
borders, to lesser degree. although
we personally like straight lined bed
near straight lined walk.
If 1T is necessary to place small beds
out in the lawn, the round or oval bed
is probably the best in form and 1t
should contain low flowers, so as not
te hide the landscape back of 1t.
Beds should be dug Deep thorough.
ly fortified and pulverized, and the
edges cut clean and smooth with an
edging tool. The earth should be gen.
tly crowned from the edges to the cen.
ter, to provide drainage. Do not plant
the flowers so close to the grass as to
interfere with clipping the grass at
the edge of the lawn about the bed.
