SWEET PEAS PLANTED IN THE
FALL

In many localities in the United
States sweet peas can be planted with
success up to very late date. Even
in sections where it is found impossi-
BILE to get results from most of the
other fall flowers, the dear little sweet
pea comes into it's own.
If the November season is fine the
ground may be plowed deeply and a
thick layer of rich manure is turned
under for the pea seed. The seeds
should be sowed not closer together
than four inches and not more than
one inch deep.
Although they will come up before
Christmas and often get the nip of
frost, the blast is only above the sur
face and the deep root-growth leaves
the life of the plant safe and ready to
spring into fine bloom in June.
Southern regions are especially
adapted to the planting of the sweet
pea, with the assurance that the labor
will bring a full return.
The end of October is the best time
to plant cyclamen. The seedlings
should be- grown on until the flower.

came the head of an Epirotic league
after the fall of the Molossian king
dom.
The Molossian Kingdom.
The Molessians, most powerful and
progressive of the IA tribes which in
habited Epirus, were ruled by chief
tains who professed to be descendants
of Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, who
was supposed to have settled in this
part of the world after the fall of
Troy.
One of the most noted of the Molos-
sian kings was Arymbas II, who gave
his brothers daughters an excellent
education, married one of them him
self and gave the other, Olympias. to
Philip II of Macedon. Olympias lives
in history as the mother of Alexander
the Great. From Alexander's aunt de-
scended Pyrrhus, who waged long
war with Rome in behalf of the Taren-
| tines and who made EpiruS power in
world politics for a short time. More
than $50 years after the death of
| Pyrrhus, Epirus again came in con-
fiict with Rome as the ally of Perseus,
i the Macedonian who mounted throne
over the body of his murdered broth
er Demetrius. The Romans under
Aemilius Paulus annihilated the forces
of Perseus at Pydna (16S B. c., and
took the defeated king in triumph to
the capital. The punishment meted
out to Epirus for its share in the war
was the destruction of 20 of its prin-
cipal cities and the enslavement of
10000 of its people-a blow from
which the kingdom never recovered
With the partition of the Roman en-
pire Epirus was given to the eastern
emperors. When the Latins took Con.
stantinople in 1904 it became posses

succeeding centuries the territory has

THE PEoNY AND ITS CULTURE
BY C. BEsTcHER.

Few people know the wealth OF
beauty and perfume of the peony.
Quite everyone knows the brilliant
old red peony or "piny' of the old
time garden. But from that to the
modern peony is a great evolution.
The modern peony is superior in size,
perfume and finish to the chrysanthe-
mum, with less care and more certain
results for labor expended.
The requirements of the peony are
simple, yet at few periods they are
very easily damaged. We have large
areas to handle and cannot give them
the same care one could give few
plants +.
We give the soil thorough dress
and sow to rye. In April we plow the
ground deeply and plant potatoes,
corn or other crops that will have
good culture.
We prefer to plant any time during
September, but planting may be done
at any time (if well watered for few
days. from September l to May. We
do not approve of lifting plants in
the spring after they have begun al
ready to make a rapid and tender
growth.
Plants that are kept dormant by be
ing dug in the fall may be planted un
til June with fine success. We have
planted big clumps when in full bloom
and they grew well, but we do not ad
wise it except when absolutely neces
sary.
When planting peonies in claye!
ground, they should be set about foul
inches deep, but in light, sandy o.
loamy soil, five or six inches deep. Ok
clumps l plant a bit deeper, leaving
the crown covered lightly until lat
when more soil is drawn over then
to make the surface level.
Never use much manure the frs
year on newly planted peonies and car

may be manured after the groun
freezes and the manure worked int

Keep all the weeds out of th
peonies and do not dig over thre

buds are as large as acorns. Man

peonies not blooming, and upon inve
