How to Set Plants So That They Will
Thrive and Bloom.

How to Set Plants So That They Will
Thrive and Bloom.
Where beds are TO he filed with q
single plant they should be planted In
even rows an equal distance apart and
the plants alternated in the rows,
which will give each plant consider
ably more room and light 1t is well to
have these lines laid out and the places
for the plants marked before any
plants are lifted from the hotbed, I'm
order that the planting may go forward
as rapidly and smoothly as possible. A
board with chalk marks on the edge
will accomplish this admirably for
small beds, or a cord with bits of white
cloth tied at Intervals. or chalk marks
even will be useful in long beds or
lines.
In planting make hole in the earth
with the trowel large enough to hold
the root of the plant in a natural posi-
ton and place the plant therein, draw
ing up the earth about the roots and
pressing it snugly down; pour in suffi-
Gent water to fill the hole. and when
it has partially soaked away draw up
the remaining earth and press firmly.
Make a fine dust mulch about the
plant by working the soil lightly with
the trowel. and if any damp places
show after the plant has been set q
few moments go over the soil again or
add dry earth from another part of the
bed If necessary. The planting may be
FASTENED by making a row Of holes
across the beds before beginning to set
the plants, then placing the plants in
each before applying water, but draw
ing up part of the earth; the water is
then placed in all the holes, and by the
time the last is filed the first has
soaked away sufficiently to allow of
filling up and finishing; this saves an
appreciate amount of time when there
is large amount of planting to do.
No shade or covering of any kind will
be needed if the planting has been well
and thoroughly done, nor is it neces.
sary or advisable TO wait for signs Of
rain before planting. though planting
at the edge Of spell of rainy weather
has doubtless advantages. But plant
ing before SUMMER shower is to be
avoided. as this is usually followed BY
hot weather. and under the influence
Of hot sun the moisture in the soil
evaporateS rapidly, and the soil must
be constantly cultivated to retain what
water it contains.
After the planting is completed go
over the beds carefully and where any
moisture has drawn TO the surface re-
store the dry mulch by cultivation or
by adding dry soil from some other
place. If the planting has been we'll
done the plants will not need watering
for several days. indeed are far better
of without it, If the weather is I'M
usually dry rs soon as the plants begin
to grow or show that they are becom-
ing established by the way they settle
themselves in the ground and turn to-
ward the light water may he given in
sufficient quantity To thoroughly soak
the ground and the following day the
soil worked over with rake or trowel to
restore the dust mulch. This is better
than repeated waterings.

The Wesley Oak.

The Wesley oak, according to the At
lanta (Ga) Journal, stands on st ST.
mons island. less than d mile from
Fort Frederick. 1t is 200 feet high.
and its cool shade rests like bene-
diction over an area of several acres
According TO local tradition, this tree
marks the exact spot on which the
Wesleys preached. Charles Wesley en-
gagged himself to Oglethorpe as private
secretary before leaving England. But
he afterward took orders and devoted
much of his time to preaching near
Frederick. From time to time John
Wesley came down from Savannah to
Join him. This famous oak stands at
the gateway to the churchyard Of
Christ church. and several generations
sleep within the inclOsure that 1t
guards. Moses hang down from its
limbs, and it is solemn and beautiful.

THE DRAGON FLY.

Don't be afraid Of this wicked look
ing insect, no matter how many fierce
and wild stories you have heard told
about him. He isn't half so wicked as
he looks. And, as for his voracious
habits, the only things he eats are mos
quitoes and flies and gnats, not to men
ton many other pests you would like
the world rid of. He's called properly
the dragon fly.
Maybe you know him better as the
devils darning needle. Perhaps you've
been told when you were bad boy or
girl that he would get in your hair and
sew your ears shut, or maybe you've
been calling him snake feeder. He
gets this name probably because the
female dragon fly when she lays her
eggs glides down on top Of the stream
or lake and drops them in the water, as
If she were feeding water snakes.
These eggs stick fast to water plants
until the larvae hatch, crawl out Of
the water, srH. up the back. and, be-
hold-other dragon flies!
1t will take more time and patience
than the amateur bug collector pos
sesses to get acquainted with the
whole dragon fly family. There are
something like 1900 specimens, so au-
thorities tell us, and 300 Of these fly
around in North America.
What the hawks and eagles are to
birds the dragon flies are to mosQui-
toes and flies. Imprison dragon fly
In a room and the flies and mosquitoes
will disappear. So, you see, he isn't
such q bad bug after all
