PLANT FOR BEAUTY
By L. Nj. BENNINGTON.

A tropical effect can be obtained by planting round bed with few castoT-oil plants in the middle, with talI-growing cannas around them Use elephants ears for the border
 A glorious hedge is obtained from salvia. Plant a triple row of the red sage, as it Is often called. Set it, but early in June, and let it grow un- checked until it is blaze of color
 If the aphis attacks the sweet peas spray them with strong soap suds.
 Give heliotrope rich, porous soil, composed of leaf mold. thoroughly rotted manure, and sand to make it friable. It requires good drainage and plenty of water and will not thrive in heavy sour soil
 Ever-blooming larkspur is a novelty that has proved hardy and beautiful. It grows to great height, four or five inches tall, and is a constant bloomer. As hardy perennial of great beauty it is we'll to try the Albion, white and bella-donna, sky blue, they are a riot of gorgeous coloring and a great improvement over the oldtime lark spur.
 Sow nignonette every two weeks until the middle of July. There is no flower so fragrant and it is easily grown and will supply plenty of per fume for the home FOOTE'S.
 Much better than the commercial fertilizer is well-decayed manure. It supplies humus, which improves the capacity of the soil for holding mois- ture and admitting the air to the roots.
 Take care of the palms and plants that have been growing in the house all winter. Do not expose them to the full sunshine of the garden. Keep them in secluded spot until they become accustomed to it.
The Pulaskian., 1916-04-21

We have led a life of peace and happiness, waking in the morning to the song of the birds, who were thankful for one spot on earth where they were free from the sportsman-s s gun. At noon we rested in the shade of our giant oaks and pines, and lis tened to the babble of the brook as 1t flowed past to joln the Northfork River. At evening we were enter tained by the hollow of the wolf call ing to his mate or the mellow song of some wild Thomas cat singing to his lady love. Thus all nature was at rest within our border.
 At last the great Little Rock Mau- melle Western Railroad with all it's hurry blurry' came down our peace full valley and we awoke to the fact that there was more to this world than we had thought, so we built a schoolhouse and began school w1rs, Miss Bryan McHughes, one of Pulas- Ri County's talented daughters as our teacher. Now we have nice Sun- day school organized and doing well. Our motto is:
 Laugh and the world laughs with
 you,
 Weep, and you weep alone, For the grave old earth must borrow
 it's mirth,
 But has trouble enough of it's own.
 Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Our school yell: Are we in it,
 Well I guess,
 Blytheville, Blytheville,
 Yes, yes, yes.

HYDRANGEAS

In the spring hydrangeas should have some branches cut out at the bottom to give them more compact and sturdy look. They should occupy sunny position in the garden and be protected from the cold winds of au- tumn. When the buds begin to swell in the spring cut the branches at the bottom and the plant will quickly throw up shoots that will produce large heads of bloom.
 The plants should be watered occa- sionally with liquid manure.
 Hydrangeas make good house plant if good air and sunshine are given them.

Hardy phlox can be transplanted at any time, preferably In the spring or early fall by dividing the old clumps Plant in April about fifteen to eighteen inches apart and pinch the tops back when about four inches high. The re- suit will be that they will give maxi mum of fiorets and very large head of bloom. Give an occasional dressing of manure or manure water
 When very large mass of plants is desired. pinch back about one-third of the ster1s about May and about three weeks later another third should be pinched back This 1engthens the season of blooming and adds to their beauty.

HAVE A FLOWER FARM
By E. VAN HENTHuysEN.

The demand for choice flowers never fails and the big cities of the United States sell enormous quantities. They must be fine though.
 The city man who wishes flowers for special decoration does not care how much they cost if they are the best that ca8 be grown.
 Flower farming is an agreeable oc- cupation. But little help is required The costly adjuncts, such as curing, drying, housing and storing are not required Plants increase in value. and once place is going it continues to increase in productive ability with each year.
 Flower farming does not require rich sive. Some of the requirements for success, however. demand that your farm be located near railway station and should have the convenience of a telephone, ice or a cold spring, and a good road to town.
 Start in a small way. Be content to buy from 100 to 800 plants each year until your plants get oii enough to di- vide and build your stock from. By starting in a small way you will ac- quire the necessary experience to cope with the situation and understand the workings on a larger scale. No book knowledge can compare with years actual experience.
 There are many plants that increase prodigiously. Others take several years to be strong productive plants.
 The hydrangea will pay for itself in a single year. The peony takes longer to arrive at perfection.
 If planted in the fall the peony will bloom the first season, but young plants are apt to be too quick in get ting out in the spring and the buds may be injured by late frosts. One thousand bushes three years old will produce 3o,000 flowers.
 The dahlia is good flower to grow. It can be planted June 1, come into bloom about August Is, and will be in full bloom by September. It Is free, easy early bloomer, has bright colors, long stems and good plump tubers.
 The peony must not be overlooked. It's requirements are simple. yet at a. few periods they are very easily dam- aged.
 Plants that are kept dormant by be- ing dug in the fall may be planted until June with fine success. When plant Ing peonies in clayey ground they should be set about four inches deep, but in light, sandy soil or loamy soil five or six inches deep.
 Never use much manure the first year on newly planted peonies, and never overmanure them. Cultivate them about three inches deep, then ap- ply about one inch of manure and work we'll into the soil In the spring.
 Plant peonies in the bright sunshine away from trees that are liable to shade them or whose roots may sap the plant food in the soil where they are planted.
 Peonies are grown from a division of old plants and also from seed. 1t takes from five to eight years to come into full bloom from seed.
 To get the best results from phlox they should be planted new each fall or spring and given plenty of water while in bloom.
