TIME TO PREPARE
FOR SUMMER BLOOMS

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 25. -
Many garden lovers who are envious
OF their neghbors' earlier blooms
fail to realize that they can do many
things even In February to give some
of their plants an earlier start. Those
who own hotbeds or cold frames, the
specialists of the T. S. department of
agriculture say, should see to II that
their annual Towering plants are
started at once. This advice applies
to those flowers to be used later in
beds and to those grown for cut
