COBAEA sCANDENs

Cobaea scandens is rapid growing
climbing vine which Is easily propa-
gated from seed. The Gsrk color and
refined character Of its foliage, to-
getlier with its bell-shaped flowers,
render 1t very satisfactory vine for
covering broad areas. 1t is less ram
pant grower than the moonflower, but
furnishes quite as satisfactory a
screen made up. Of much finer leaves.
The flowers are not conspicuous, be-
cause of their modest colors and be-
cause they are hidden by the foliage.
Their form, however, is pleasing and
they are open during the day.
For success in the climate of Wash
ington, ID. Co. seeds of the cobaea scam
dens should be sown about March Is
in a rich compost. When the young
seedlings have developed their first
true leaves, they should be transferred
to three-inch pots or to tomato cans
and kept growing slowly until danger
of frost Is past. In the open rich
border should be provided, for as soon
as hot weather comes on the plants

proves injurious to asters. Only thor
oughly composted manure mixed with
the soil Is safe for these plants. Small
quantities of air-slaked lime, or Of
fresh wood ashes, stirred into the sur
face of the aster beds prove beneficial
to the plants. When given plenty Of
water and rich, fine soil asters can be
grown into beautiful pot plants.
In some localities and during some
seasons the aster is seriously attacked
by the so-called black potato beetle
or blister beetle (epicauta pennsyl-
vanica), an insect which feeds upon
the partly developed buds, causing
Them to develop, if at all, into de-
foIaed, irregular blossoms. In such
localities asters can be successfully
grown under screens of mosquito net
ting or other thin cloth.

"The Drink Question From the jew
ish Point of View" This was the sub
feet of an address in the Free Syna-
gogue, Carnegie hall, New York, by
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the
leading Hebrews Of the United States.
The Jews, he declared, believe in pro-
hibition--prohibition, not for the few
but for everybody.
"Rum," he said, ''is blessing only
for the idle rich, for the extinction Of
their kind, and as means to make
their perpetuation impossible, but to
Jews and non-Jews alike it is a mem
ace. To young Jewish men generally

ing restraints of the cocktail and the

Is no Jewish question. 1t is an Amer
lean problem. Do not let us think
about ourselves, but let us think Of the
welfare of the whole country. Let the
verdict be, Alcohol must die"

BOSCHEE'S GERMAN
SYRUP
A Valued Household Remedy for
Over Half a Century.

In our climate, with its sudden
changes of temperature, rain, wind and

friends and relatives are so frequently
taken from us by neglected colds, many
deaths resulting from this cause. A
bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept
In the house, and few doses taken in
time, will possibly prevent severe ill

For fifty years this has been very
successful remedy for coughs, colds,

LOBEL.IA

The erinus varieties Qobelias) are
charming little plants that bloom very
quickly from the seed and continue
gay with flowers all through the sea-
son. For beds, edgings, baskets, and
pots there is nothing prettier; their
clear coiors and generous bloom make
them welcome anywhere.
The seeds may be sown outdoors in
early spring where the plants are to
grow. AS the plants appear they
should be thinned moderately, or trans
planted several inches apart in rich,
open soil. Liquid manure given while
they are in bloom greatly improves
the flowers. Many sorts are also good

well adapted to mixed borders and are
very satisfactory as cut flowers. The
stems are of good length, carry the
flowers well, and keep fresh as cut
flowers for long time when placed In
water.
The annual gaillardias are all propa-
gated readily from seeds sown in the
open, but earlier flowers will be Sc
cured by sowing seeds in hotbed
and transplanting the plants to the
open as soon as killing frosts have
passed. In either case the blooming
plants should not stand closer than
10 or II inches. They grow and bloom
best when fully exposed to sun and
air, and when planted on a fertile
but light and well-drained soil.

The aster is certainly one OF the
most satisfactory of the annual flower
Ing plants. The great variety In Its
size, color, form, and season of bloom
ing makes 1t most satisfactory plant
for supplying cut flowers. In fact,
many of the improved sorts produce
flowers equal in form and size to some
of the better sorts of chrysanthemums.
The range of color presented in this
group is one of its chief merits.
Strange as 1t may appear, the plant
world is not very well supplied with
blue flowers possessing characters
which render them suited to domestic
or commercial uses. In the aster, now
ever. are found many shades OF blue
and purple and for this reason, IL
for no other, the aster should prove
an attractive decorative plant. The
habit of growth adapts the aster not
only to close planting for cut bloom
but some forms are robust, tall-gro"-
ing plants, well adapted for use in an
herbaceous border where late bloom
and careless effects are desired. Inc
more ompact-growing, large-dowereu
forms are most desirable for cut
blooms, while the tall-growing, open
types are most useful In wild gardens
or for screens. The wild aster Easter
novae- angllae) Is one of the most peau-
tifuI and most satisfactory OF thls
latter class. The vigor and ease Oh
culture Of the aster are factors when
contribute to its popularity.

from ivory to deep orange. The plants
bloom freely and earlier than the
marigold, and are useful in beds, bor-
ders, or backgrounds. The dried flow
ers are sometimes used for flavorlng
soups and stews. There are both SIN

methods of propagating this plant Is
from seeds sown about April In the
