The IRIS EASY TO GROW
BY c. BESTcHER.

OF all plants the most Indifferent to
all conditions and environments, soils
and care, none yields the product that
the Iris does, and with high culture
1t is just that much more satisfactory
for the added attention.
In all garden operations one should
observe natural conditions Of growth,
as this with added good care will lead
to success.
The Germanic type of Iris is, in
many ways, an especially desirable
plant. 1t is most desirable as gar
den flower or for cutting, as they
keep especially we'll in the hot sun.
Many people say "Oh, flags. they
are so common" However, when they
see a collection in good colors they
very soon decide differently.
Many growers 60 to far more trou-
BILE than is necessary in making prep
arations for planting many subjects.
For all plants we recommend giving
the soil a coat of manure in the fall,
the fresher the better.
Apply it at once several inches
thick-if the soil is very poor, II good
give only an inch thickness. When
this thaws out rake 1t so that the
fine particles are taken out.
Do this several times between now
and spring time, SO the elements are
we'll incorporated with the soil.
Spade when the ground is in good
shape-if possible, do SO before freez-
ing is over, for when spaded so the
frost will penetrate it deeply, pulver.
izing it SO it is soft and pliable. the
plants will do much better.
For German Iris, plant the roots
deeply; but the bulb should be GOV.

REAL HISTORY OF
AMERICAN FLAG
Emblem, It Is Declared by Stu
dents, May Be Traced Back
as Far as the Twelfth
Century.

VNHE American nag Is SIOWIuS
rather than a creation. Its his
tory can BE traced back to the
18th century, or nearly 600 years prior
to the first Flag Day." June IA, 1777.
During the first crusade in 1875,
Pope Urban II assigned to all of the
Christian nations as standards crosses
varying in color and design, emblem
attic of the warfare in which they
were engaged. To the Scotch troops
was assigned the white satire, known
as the white cross of st. Andrew, on
blue field. The British used yellow
cross, but a century and a quarter
later they adopted red cross on a
white field, known as the red cross OF
st. George.
When James vi OF Scotland ascend
ed the throne of England as James l.,
he combined the two flags, and issued
a proclamation requiring all ships to
carry the new flag at their main
masts At the same time the vessels
Of south Britain were to carry at
their foremasts the red cross of st.
George and the ships of north Britain
to carry the white cross of st. An
drew.
The new flag was known as Kings
Colors," the Union Colors," or the
Great Union" and later as the Union
Jack" and was the one under which
the British made all their permanent
settlements in America. 1t was the
flag of Great Britain only by proclama-
ton, however; not until 1907 did par
lament pass an act definitely uniting
the two countries and their flags. In
the same year the government issued
regulations requiring the navy to use
what was known as the white ensign;
the naval reserve, the blue ensign;
and the merchant marine, the red en-
sign. Owing to the fact that the Brit
ish merchant vessels were everywhere,
the colonists in America came to look
upon this red ensign as the flag of
Great Britain.
The people in the New England col.
onies were bitterly opposed to the
cross in the flag. In 1886 some of the
troops in Massachusetts, declined to
march under this flag and the military
commissioners were forced to design
other flags for their troops with the
cross left out The design they adopt
ed has not been preserved. In 1852 q
mint was established in Boston.
Money coined in this mint had the
pine tree stamped on one side of it.
The pine tree design was also used
on New England flags, certainly by
1704 and possibly as early as 1886.
At the outbreak of the Revolution
the American colonies had no flag
common to all of them. In many cases
the merchantemarine flag Of England
was used with the pine tree substi-
tuted for the Union Jack. Massa-
chusetts adopted the green pine tree
on white field, with the motto: IAN
Appeal to Heaven" Some of the south
ern states had the rattlesnake flag
with the motto Don't Tread on Me"
on a white or yellow field. This flag
had been used by South Carolina as

other times just barely cover them.
When hoeing in the summer 1t II
we'll not to draw much soil to them,
as it is liable to rot them at certain
times when they are more subject to
this decay than others, when deeply
covered with soil; and doubly SO after
they become larger.
All the culture they need is to have
the soil kept free from weeds and
hoed very lightly or raked just so
the crust is broken and kept loose.
About November /, before freezing
begins, give them good hoeing and
a light dressing of manure after the
hoeing. Plant or divide at any time.
The Japan Iris requires much differ
ent treatment, while very easily ham
died when their requirements are UNI
derstood, yet they are somewhat tickle.
The best results are obtained when
the soil is very rich, well watered
and kept hoed at all times ,@.
Never allow weeds to attain any
start in their beds as they cannot
resist the encroachments Of strong
growing weeds.
Plant them deeply so that the
crowns are fully three inches below
the soil level. Plant very early in the
spring, just when the growth is show

Water we'll after doing it. They
may be planted at almost any time
if the soil Is allowed to adhere to the
roots and kept we'll dampened for at
least two weeks. In fact, they should
never be allowed to become dry.
Give them deep hoeing and good
mulching of manure during August or
September, and hoe 1t into the soil
thoroughly.

tests are absolutely unreliable. The
only way to be sure of the kind of
mushroom is to study it. No mush-
room which is not positively known
should be used for food. Anybody with
q very little training may learn to
identify the field mushroom, which is
one Of the most common and best fla
vored varieties. The inky caps are
another which are easily learned.
Study them carefully and take no
risks, for experts are often deceived in
kinds not we'll known.
