scholtzia may be sown in window boxes
or in hotbed in March. or in the
open where the plants are to bloom as
soon as the soil is in fit condition, in
April or May in the latitude Of New
York. In latitude south of New York
the seeds may be sown in the au.

the row. When used in beds they
may be sown broadcast.
Zinnia-The zinnia is easily grown
from seed sown in the open ground.
When sown in April the plants will
bloom abundantly and continuously
through the entire season. During
the month of August zinnias are at
their best. To secure large flowers
and a profusion of bloom the plants
must be given ample room for full de-
velopment, as we'll as an abundant sup
ply of food. Strong, rich soil suit the
zinnia. If the seeds are sown in a
dwelling house or in a hotbed in
March and the young plants are prick
ed out once or twice before being
placed in their permanent situations,
more satisfactory results will be secur-
ed than from outdoor-sown seeds I'M

planting is given. In addition to their
use in the school garden, zinnias can
be used for groups, beds, borders, gar

FRENCH gain IMPORTANT
POSITION BY LONG FIGHT

London, March 27.-While there is
some fighting along the east Prussian
frontier and also in Bukownna. tho
mountains both east and west are
the scenes Of the most important en-
gagements at present.
In the Vosges, the French after Z
long fight in which positions changed
hands more than once, finally estab-
lished themselves on the summit OF the
Hartmanns-Weilerkopr mountain peak
Is miles northwest of Muelhausen, q
few miles north of Thanh. This is
considered an important success as it
gives the French command of a con-
siderable amount Of country occupied
by the Germans. The fight for the
position has been bitter, and of many
days duration.
In the east the Carpathians are
still the scene of the most violent bat
ties, the Russians attacking night and
day. They claim to be advancing sue
cessfully on the Barfeld Uzok front
but the Austrian statement says the
attack miscarried, and the Russians
suffered heavy losses. The struggle
here was carried on under the most
terrible weather conditions, the men
having to haul the guns and make
charges through the deep snow.
A Zeppelin this afternoon passed
over an island north of Holland, flying
in a westerly direction, and an at
tack on an English town is expected,
but her arrival along the English coast
is not reported yet.
Hollands request for an explanation
from Germany of the sinking Of the
Medea and the capture of two other
Dutch steamers is creating lot of
interest in diplomatic circles, where
it is pointed out the vessels of other
neutral countries are being molested.
Diplomacy is active in Italy and

that Germany is making an offer OF
part of the Turkish European terri
tory to Bulgaria in return for Bull

and one finger Of his right hand, but
otherwise he is still fairly able-bodied.

FLOWERS THAT WILL "MAkE-
GOOD" IN YOUR GARDEN.

year are considering what Towering
plants they shall put in their gardens.
The average housewife, who has not
much time to spare on the matter, the
child who is just becoming interested
in growing plants, and the teacher
who is laying out school garden for
the benefit of her pupils will undoubt-
eddy welcome some simple sugget-
lions along this line. The depart
ments' specialist particularly recon-
mends as satisfactory and easily
grown flowers the ageratum, the mas
turtium, the petunia, the California
poppy, and the zinnia. Here are a
few pointers on each Of them:
Aqeratum-The ageratum is one of
the few blue flowers we have. In its
form it somewhat resembles the hello
trope, but has no odor. Ageratums
grow we'll upon almost any soils and
through wide range of climate. For
that reason many combinations with
them is possible. The plants are neat,
bushy, and erect, and produce pro-
fusion of the brushHke flowers.
The dwarf blue sorts make fine Dor
ders and are much used where con-
trasting color effects are desired. For
early bloom the seed should be sown
in cold frames or in boxes in the
house early in the season (March) p,
but for summer and fall bloom the
seeds may be sown in April or early
in May in well-prepared beds in the
open. Seeds sown in August will pro-
duce good plants for winter Towering.
Nasturtium-The large seeds Of the
nasturtium require to be planted
much deeper than the fine seeds Of the
petunia. Sow them in rows where
che plants are to grow, placing the
seeds about six inches apart in the
row, and cover them about an inch
deep. When all plants are up, thin SO
that they stand foot apart if the soil
is rich; if rather thin, it will be as well
to allow them to stand at the planting
distance. The plants should be given
clean cultivation to induce rapid
growth. If planted in the open at the
same time that beans are planted
very satisfactory results will follow.
For earlier bloom, plant in advance of
this date in hotbeds, cold frames, or
window boxes.
Petunia-While the petunia grows
readily and rapidly from seeds sown
in the open about complaining time,
earlier bloom can be secured by SOW
ing the seeds in window boxes or bot
beds and transplanting the plants
once before placing them in the open.
For localities north Of New York the
most satisfactory method Of handling
these plants will be to start the seeds
in window boxes about April l, and to
transfer the young plants to the open
when the weather permits about the
middle of May. The seeds are very
small and should not be covered with
earth in the ordinary way. They
should be sown on the surface and
