raniums are also effective. The yer,
benas, candytuft and sweet alyssum
are good for borders. The hollyhocks
and dahlies go well against fence.
Too frequently the old fashioned per-
ennials are neglected. They are pleas
ing and attractive when seen in long
rows against the garden fence. These
plants run in various colors, thus max
ing it possible to choose any effect de-
sired.
The aster is one Of the most satisfac-
tory Of all the annual Towering plants.
The great variety in its size, color,
form and season of blooming makes 1t
most satisfactory plant for supplying
cut flowers. These can be grown to
good advantage for selling and find q
ready market in most places. In fact,
/ the woman or girl who wishes to earn
extra money can well afford to study
and experiment along this line Of sell
ing some Of the old fashioned flowers
and those that grow In the outdoor
garden. In the past the dollhouse prod
ucts have been made the chief selling
flowers. These are bought chiefly by
the wealthy class and as rule are too
expensive for the middle class, yet
they, too, appreciate flowers. There
are big opportunities for the farm wo-
man or girl in building up a flower
business along this line that will prove
very profitable.
Every flower garden should have
m1gnonette. The seed can be sown
at any time, and If successive plant
ings are made its fragrant flowers may
be gathered until frost comes.
No other annual will produce such 8
profusion Of flowers for so long time
with the same outlay Of time and la
Dor as the nasturhum. It is good also
for borders in front Of vines or shrubs
No one can afford to be without the
saliva. It's glowing red flower is as
snowy as the poppy. This must be
started early in the house, or one car
buy the small plants from a florist
The best two varieties are the Bonfire
and the Splendens.
Petunias are effective for borders and
for cut flowers. The flower garden
needs planning in the arrangement Of
plants and colors to bring out the best
effect. Many old and unsightly spots
and buildings can be hidden from view
with various flowers. For instance, al
unsightly stump can be followed out
filed with rich soil, and If nasturtiums
are planted in it it will be thing Of
beauty until frost kills the plants
Morning glories can be made to Irvine
7 around a stump that is too tall to hol
low out. Ferns can be gathered from
the woods and cultivated for buyers
All such work pays well.

Caring For Strawberries.
A strawberry patch that is well cul-

which all unnecessary runners are re-
moved should remain In good condition

an excellent crop. One that's neglect

Influenced by dry weather in the

than strawberry patch, and no fruit
is more easily affected by neglect

I'VE deferred because we were afraid
to enforce the act" said Sir Matthew
We deferred practically for political pur-
poses.'
When asked what action had been taken
to report this to the chief secretary for
Ireland, Augustine Birrell, Sir Matthew
declared the chief secretary was fully
aware of it. The witness also admitted
that he knew women were being trained
to look after wounded men and that sham
fights for the taking of Dublin Castle
were being held. These facts, he said
also were known to the chief secretary.
Baron Hardinge said he assumed from
the testimony that it had been decided
not to interfere unless there should be an
actual outbreak. Sir Matthew replied:
1T was thought that forcible interior
ence would certainly lead to bloodshed,
and that if affairs were let alone they
might blow over without bloodshed."
Sis Nathan Matthew caused some sur
prise by stating that he had communicate
ed on two occasions with the Irish lead
ers, John Redmond, John Dillon and JOS
eph Devlin, in regard to the condition of
affairs in Ireland. but had been unable
to discuss them with Timothy Healy. The
reason given by Sir Matthew was:
shortly after l went to Ireland he
said things about me which made it i'm
possible"
The remainder of Sir Matthew's evil
dence was taken in camera after which
the commission adjourned

in Mr.. Dumba and read over the re-

thing misrepresented was this: said
TIC Dumba that the fact that lives were
