PEONIES

No other herbaceous plant lives so
long or produces flowers equal to
the peony.
Peonies planted this autumn will
flower next season. The middle OF
September to the middle of October
is the best time to plant, preferably
the earlier season to permit the plants
to make a good root growth before
winter sets in. The soil must be rich
as the peony is a gross feeder.
Remove the soil to depth of three
feet and fill up the space to the depth
of a foot with well rotted COW manure.
Spade the manure in well. If the
soil is clayey, mix with it equal parts
of sand, leaf and mold and manure for
the other half. Fill up the excavation
with the prepared soil, rounding it up
to the center, which should be six or
seven inches above the level of the
lawn.
In setting the plants dig a hole from
one and a half to two feet deep and
feet in diameter for each plant, pla-
cling the crowns three inches below
the surface, firming the soil well
around the roots This is best done
by the feet of the planter.
Mulch well before cold weather
with coarse manure and leaves. In
the spring loosen the soil, after re
moving the mulch, to a depth of five
or six inches. care being taken to
stir the soil without injuring the
crowns of the plants.
Commercial fertilizer strong in pot
ash should be used in the spring
after the bed is started.

or the leaves can be spread OUT fat
on the sand and pinned down tight
with hairpins or wooden toothpicks.
Keep the cuttings shaded. Another
good way to make cuttings is in a
small earthen crock without drain
age. Fill with sand to within an
inch or two of the top. Insert the
cuttings and pour in water until the
sand is just covered. Keep the sand
constantly covered with water and
the cuttings will soon root.
When the cuttings are inserted in
the sand, the sand should be packed
firmly about them with the hands.
Insert the cuttings closely together.
The foliage should be cut back on the
cuttings.
Plants growing in the garden, which
make fine house plants include:
Fuchsias, begonias, geraniums, petun.
las, pinks, verbenas, arbutilons, chrys.
anthemums, daisies. Cut the plants
back about one-haf.

ENGLUND AND MOSS
Millinery.

Another one of our new business
establishments is that of the Millinery
Store of Miss Englund and Miss Moss.
It was just the last part of June that
they bought out Mrs. w. ]. Freeman.
They intend to give Willmar a thoro-
ly modern millinery store and carry a
large stock of goods to suit the vari-
GUS tastes of the women in our city.
Miss Englund is now in Chicago and
st. Paul buying hats for their grand
Fall opening. They expect to have a
very beautiful line and something for
every individual choice in WiImar.
Their Fall opening will be some time
in September, and should be kept in
mind by all those who will at that time
buy new hat. .-.
Both Miss Englund and Miss Moss
are capable Of trimming hats to per-
lection, as both have had great deal
Of experience in this line. Before be-
coming one of the owners of the Milli-
merry store, Miss Englund trimmed
hats for Mrs. Freeman. Customers
trading at this place will be given the
most considerate waiting upon, and
whether you buy or not, they are al
ways glad to show you their hats, let
you try them on, and help you pick
out hat that will be becoming.
