IRIS

Take some strong clumps OF Iris,
about two or. three years old and. not
too large. Leave the earth on them
and take them up just before the
ground freezes and put them in large
pots in cool cellar. II they do freeze
it will not hurt them, but see that the
frost comes out gradually.
Bring them up to Nle light and put
them in southern exposure and they
will flower during February and
March. If white ones are planted
beautiful Easter flowers will be pro-
vided. With care iris will bloom al
most half the year. The flowers grown
in the house are more delicate and
beautiful than ii grown out of doors.
Other winter flowers are expensive,
but these can be secured at little cost,
and when once started one can get
them from ones own garden.
Experiment with irises this fall; you
will get pleasure and profit from 1t.

BEAUTIFYING THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY L. N. BENNINGTON.

II you want your bed of cannas or
border Of caladiums to make a grand
showing from now to frost, give them
a frost-like covering of bonemeal; then
stir the soil, water thoroughly and
mulch with lawn clippings. Do this
toward the end of this month and be
sure to remove the fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds OF
perennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort of shade for the seed bed. A
screen made of lath or one Of un-
bleached muslin will answer. =;
The robust-growing plants will need
some sort of support. Let the supports
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain Of the wood and you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth a little
lower than the plants, SO that they are
inconspicuoua y
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums,
giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dab
las, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladi-
vase 49, ! ,.y
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, few perennials
must be preserved. Make habit Of
cutting flowers freely and remove all
the fading blossoms and nature will re-
ward you with lavish hand.
After this month, allow the chrysan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that is, stop pinching them
back.

GARDEN NOTES

Tulips increase by bulblets which
issue from the side Of the larger
bulbs. Under certain conditions, too,
the larger bulbs split up into smaller
ones.
In a well-drained, sunny bed the
bulbs will live and increase from year
to year, but should be lifted, divided
and reset every third year, as the
clumps become too much crowded to
thrive and bloom.
In ported lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The
larger the pot, the larger will be the
plant.
Auratum, Speciosum, L0ngiform, and
Brownii are all suitable for pot cul-
ture. q,
After potting,. water and set In a
dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil
moist until roots form and the tops
start, when the roots may be brought

TAKE CARE OF THE GARDEN
TOOLS

Any steel tool will rust IL exposed to
damp air, yet have found that tools
subjected to the following treatment
every three months will not rust un-
less actually thrown on the ground, or
exposed to a hard rain.
Take two parts each Of graphite and
tallow, and one part gum camphor
melt together, and If not soft enough
to form stiff paste add more tai
low or lard.
Remove all rust from the steel sur
face, wipe dry, and apply the paste.
Let 1t remain on for "a hours and then
rub dry.
Unless the tool is needed, even long
err than one day will be still better for
the tool to be covered with the prepa-
ration.
The above preparation has the ef-
feet of a coating Of oil, though every
vestige has apparently been removed

TROUBLE WITH ASTERS
BY GODFREY FRY.

The maggot is a deadly enemy Of
the aster. Look out for 1t and guard
against 1t. Work wood ashes into
the earth about the plants and remove
q little of the soil about the base Of
each plant and scatter tobacco dust
literally around them.
Wood ashes are one of the best REM
edies and change of location of the
aster bed each year Is another wise
move.
The black beetle is another pest
that does deadly work with the aster
plants. This pest comes suddenly and
does ruinous work in very little
while. When you see the first beetle
use the following emulsion literally
all over the plant, and repeat the ap-
plication frequently.
One half pound Of any good soap,
ivory or other white soap, reduced to
a liquid by melting.
One teacupful of kerosene.
Let the soap with little water come
to a boil. Add the kerosene. Stir the
mixture vigorously while cooling. Use
one part of this to ten parts Of water.
Be sure the water and the emulsion
are united then use spray.
