GOOD GARDEN ASSET
TO WAGE FARMERS

House holders who have enough
grounds for a garden will find home
crofting profitable as we'll as conduc-
sive to the betterment of the health
and income of the family. This time
of year is especially important in the
care of tho garden, and the University
Farm school offers some valuable
suggestions to gardeners and fruit
growers:
Light pruning of elm and maple
trees may be done now.
The prospects for a good cranberry
crop seem excellent In the cranberry
districts.
Shasta daisies. marguerites, oriental
peoples, etc., have been especially
good this season, on account OF the
rain and cool weather.
Do not let but one or two dahlia
shoots grow. Keep these tied to stakes
and you will have larger flowers than
if all shoots are allowed to bloom.
If YOU need to water shrubs or
plants, do a thorough job. Be sure
the plants are soaked clear to the tips
of the roots. Sprinkl1ng does not pay
except to get the dust Oft.
It is just as important to cultivate
the garden now as it was earlier In
the season, though it may not be so
pleasant work.
Rock and water gardens are coming
into use quite generally now. Nearly
all large estates and many smaller
places have them.
Keep a pan Of water where birds
may find it on these warm days. Fro
tect it from cats and the birds Will
furnish you much enjoyment.
Seed Of perennials may be sown
now. transplanted to seed boxes or
the open ground when large enough
and protected over winter, when the
plants may be set in the border.
There are many annual vines that
NAV be used to cover a. trellis or
fence. Among them are sweet pea,
morning glory, cobea, bean, balloon
| vine, cypress, moon flower ana aa-
lumia cirrhosa.
There are few prettier plants than
the common wild rose. Its buds and
flowers are useful as decorative mate
rial and it's foliage and fruit hips add
| much to planting in autumn.
One OF the best perenpials Of the
garden in June was the columbdne.
These come in some 20 different
shades. shapes and colods. They are
quite easy to grow and make excel
lent cut flowers.
The Darwin, or late-floWering
tulips are we'll worth planning this
fall. They came into flower later
than the others, and IL the weather
is not too hot will remain in bloom
over a. long season. Pride of Har.
laam and Gretchen are two good
varieties.

WHAT PARTY WILL DO

will that mean The Outlook very plainly indicates the
difference when it says:
"Even those Progressives who have now returned to
the Republican fold have at rate broken the party

and party in that matter An individual may return to
his former habits rather easily but once the party habit
