3 or inches of sod, grass side down,
then plant the tree as usual.
Early in April is the time to trim
the early roses; that is, If the winters
cold has not cut down the stalks so
that further pruning is necessary.
Cut out all the dead wood and weak
shoots. Keep the center of the plant
open. Leave four to six eyes on each
shoot
The generation OF seed requires
three essentials; heat, moisture and
air. Therefore it Is folly to put seeds
into the ground until it has been
warmed by the sun. Corn planting
time is about the proper time for the
majority of seeds.
If you want to get some satisfaction
out OF the cosmos, sow 1t in March and
push it along as fast as you can. It
does not transplant easily, therefore
grow it in pots. Shift it along until
1t is growing in a nine-inch pot.Then
sink the pot in the order and from the
time the plants are six inches high
until the end of July the shoots
should be pinched out. This will keep
the plants low and stocky. Long af-
ter severe frosts your cosmos will be
giving you beautiful flowers for the
window.

BEAUTY OF DAY LILY

Everyone admires the Day lily
which in later years has been greatly
improved Earlier there we're only a
few sorts to select from, but today we
have good range of colors and a
long season of blooming, the result of
the hybridist's art.
Those who enjoy lilies in yellow
shades in particular will find in this
species much enjoyment and success
for their efforts. This plant may be
grown from seed or divisions of old
plants. They are very certain bloom
ers and the season runs from about
May 20 to September.
They may be planted at any time
and will stand more Indifference than
most plants. Every plant lover should
have some OF the later introductions,
as the improvement has been more
wonderful in this than in any othez
I know Of.

WORK WITH THE FLOWERS
BY JOSEPHINE DE MARI.

Do not neglect the winter garden,
even though the plants are at their
best. Turn the plants once week;
stir the surface soil; wash the pots
with strong soapsuds; give plenty Of
fresh air daily; shower the plants
once week; watch for pests; see
that the warm sunshine does not
scorch your plants on warm after
Moons.
Plants that are intended for bedding.
should be shifted as they fill their
pots with roots, and give plenty of
sunshine and air. Otherwise they
will be leggy and weak.
If you wish to get specimen cannas
and dahlias, start a few in the house
early. Remove roots, stalks, and un-
necessary fiber and cut into single
eyes. Then pot In four-inch pots in
rich soil; shift when the pots fill with
roots. The Gamma, like corn, needs
moisture and heat to develop properly.
Let the hedge take the place of the
grounds. If the fence is imperative,
let it be hidden by drapery of vines,
Honeysuckle is the best permanent
vine.
California privet leads the hedge
plants in popularity; then comes bar
berry, Japanese ounce, althea, buck
thorn and some varieties of roses.

A flower friend says she rid her lemon
tree of scale by applying strong
lather of soap suds with a stiff brush
to both sides of the leaves, stems and
trunks. This was allowed to remain
for half day and then washed off
with clear water. The scale was then
easy to brush off.
