Corn is less grown in the gardens
of Great Britain now than in America.

there for flower garden decorations.
Some Of the English gardening en-

Never having tasted udo, the editor
Of the Gardening Department hunted

from udo to udon't II has n strong
resinous flavor, quite like the taste Of
the old fashioned spruce chewing gum,

green's 1t Is the blanched shoots first
produced in the spring that form the
table dellcacy.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty con-
nected with the cultivation Of udo Is
the blanching OF the shoots. Various
methods have been experimental with.
In California the earth is mounded up
around the plants, but elsewhere late
frosts make the soil too cold and the
shoots are slow in coming through.
A good method In to put n large
drain tile or a nail keg, with one end
closed, over each hill before the spring
growth starts. The shoots which come
I'D inside the tile or keg will be we'll
blanched. Casks or boxes filled with
light material such as sand or sifted
coal ashes give good results II the
shoots are not permitted to break
through into the sunlight. II they
succeed In doing this they become
green and the flavor is rank. Shoots can
be cut when only six inches long. but
Il is better to let them grow to twelve
or eighteen inches and from properly
grown plants their shoots will be one
to one and one-half inches in diameter
at the base. Such shoots are tender
throughout. with no trace OF fibre ex-
cept in rather thick bark" which Is
easily removed.
As with asparagus. sea kale and en-
dive, udo can be forced by packing the
roots together in IA trench over n layer
OF heating manure, but this method Is
only suitable for gardeners on private
estates.
After the removal of the crop Of udo
shoots in the spring the crowns OF the
plants should be completely uncovered
and the plants allowed to grow nor
mally throughout the summer.

hours before planting and should be
sown in May.
All Of the annual vines need some sup
port when grown in vertical position,
for which purpose wire netting or strings
fastened at the bottom end TO a strong
peg driven firmly into the ground near
the root of the vine and at the top to
some support limiting the upward
growth of the vine are most convenient.
For vines which cling and climb by
tendrils, the wire netting is preferable

them a decided, and to many persons
an unpleasant, taste OF pine. II Is easy
to eliminate this by soaking thin slices
of the stems in ice cold water for an
hour or two. or by boiling them In two
or three waters. as Is often done with
strong favored vegetables.
