BEAUTIFYING THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

If 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 little
lower than the plants, so that they are
tnconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums,
giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dah-
lias, cosmos, hydrangeaS and gladi
oil.
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, a few perennals
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.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-07-22
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 potted lilies, set the bulbs two
inches or more beneath the soil. The
larger the pot, the larger will be the
plant.
Auratum, Speciosum, Longiform and
Brownii are all suitable for pot cul-
ture.
After potting, water and get in a
dark closet or cellar, keeping the soil
moist until roots form and the tops
start, when the roots may be brought
to a cool window, say in January or
February, If early started.
The Colorado statesman., 1916-07-22

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 a cool cellar. If they do freeze
it will not hurt them, but see that the
frost comes out gradually.
Bring them up to the 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 if 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 it.

TROUBLE WITH ASTERS

the aster. Look out for it and guard
against it. Work wood ashes into

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 a 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 a very little

Unhappy Fish Families.

One OF the lessons the aquarium
keepers have to learn is not to put
different kinds of fishes in the same
tank without considering the compati-
bilities. Fishes commit murder and
indulge in cannibalism with alarming
frequency. Their morals. like those
Of some other vertebrates. are no bet
ter than they should be. Fishes Of the
same species when kept in aquarium
tanks must usually be Of about the
same size or the very small ones may
turn up missing,
Fish like to eat fish and generally
do so when they get the chance.
When fishes OF the same size fight
among themselves it is necessary TO
sort out the chief aggressors and locate
thep elsewhere. says the New York
Geological Society Bulletin. Expert
snce teaches the keepers what, COM
binations can be made without losses

Contrary to the common notion. the
average horse at any time dislfkes to
run over and traSnple upon another
creature, especially a human being.
There Is a very old story worth re-
teking: A little tot of three or -four
years slipped away from the house
through an open gate, and crossing the
farm lane to the paddock gate manag-
ed to open an easy latch as 1t had seen
Its father do. The spirited animal
within the inclosure. when 50 liberat-
ed, commonly dashed out and up to
the barn for its accustomed feed. The
ehili stood directly In the gateway.
and the horse in wild gallop rushed
toward It The mother in the kitchen
door witnessed the scene and thought
to SEQ her baby killed by the iron shod
hosfs, but when the animal almost
reached the child 1t leaped high In the
air and over the youngsters head.
