mignonette every two weeks until the
middle Of July; cut great sheaves Of 1t
every day for the living quarters.
II you would prolong the season Of
blooming and enhance the beauty of
the flowers, keep all seedpods shipped
of.
Just as soon as the shrubs have pro-
duced their annual crop of blooms they
should be pruned. thinned, cultivated,
fertilized and mulched. This also ap-
plies to perennials.
Don't expose palms, etc., to the full
sunshine-those that have been grow
Ing all winter and spring in the house.
Plunge their pots into the earth to the
rim and construct lath or slat house
over them that will allow the sunshine
to shift on them. This is done by
mailing the Stats two inches apart.
One part Of nitrate Of soda to four
parts bonemeal forms a fertilizer for
a sandy soil. Apply one ounce to a
square yard Of surface. Large and
brilliant flowers will follow the appli-
cation Of this fertilizer.
Don't try to grow heliotrope in
heavy, sour soil, but give 1t rich, por-
GUS earth, composed or leaf mold, thor
oughly rotted manure, and sand to
make 1t friable. Give 1t good drainage
and plenty Of water and plant 1t In the
sunshi&e.
The best time for planting perennial
seed is just as soon as 1t matures-in
other words, follow Nature, who casts
her seed upon the ground, and they at
once grow. The tender seedlings
should have some sort Of natural or
artificial shade, careful watering and
wedding, and BY fall they will be
sturdy plants. Even the hardest vari-
etes must have some protection the
first winter.
House plants that have done duty in
the window garden, and those intend
ed for duty there next winter, must be
given as near complete rest as possi-
Bile. Invite them to be lazy by giving
them poor soil and only enough water
to keep them healthy. Cut back Sc
verely and pinch of every bud as IL
appears. During the summer time is
your opportunity to trim and train
your window plants to good form.

APPROPRIATE DISHES FOR EASTER week

Eggs ham. chicken and salads figure consplcu-
ously In the Easter menus, the eggs and chicken
because of the Easter symbolism; ham, since 1t Is
connected with eggs from n gastronomic stand
point. and salads because when Easter comes
fresh green viands are particularly enticng.
Here is good recipe for smothered chicken,
which may well be the principal item Of an Easter
luncheon or dinner. Split the chicken down the
back, season with salt and pepper, and dredge
well with flour on both sides. Put into a bake
pan a small cupfu of stock and quarter OF
pound OF butter Arrange the giblets on the bot
tom and on them lay the chicken breast down.
Cover the pan closely and haste every ten or
twelve minutes. Allow about fifteen minutes to
the pound in roasting. When tender take out the
chicken and lay on hot plate. Wash the GLIB
let's, add cup Of rich cream and serve with bis

To make chicken a Ia Baltimore. prepare the
chicken as for boiling; then cut into joints, wipe
dryf season well with salt and pepper and dip
into beaten eggs; then roll In fine bread crumbs.
Place In a well buttered pan, pour olive oil or
melted butter over them and bake In a steady
oven for twenty-five minutes. When tender re-
move to a hot dish. Make a good cream gravy
to pour over the chicken and serve with corn
fritters and thin crisp slices Of bacon.
A savory egg dish for an Easter luncheon or
supper includes eggs hnd artichokes. To make
this dish steam or cook In highly salted water as
many artichoke buttons as there are guests to
serve. Brown delicately In butter as many rounds

clrokes on the rounds of bread and then over each
one drop poached egg, trimmed to the exact
size Of the bread foundation. Pour over the egg

Of paprika and serve hot.

II the flower heads of perennial
phlox are cut away as soon as they
have developed all their blossoms, the
small branches which frequently form
little below the old cluster will often
produce very pretty little panicles Of

size Of the earlier clusters, but they
will be otherwise quite as fine as far
as they go. II the old flower heads are

In q dry season q garden always
needs extra care. Leaves will turn
yellow and fall and the flowers will
soon wither and present an unsightly
appearance as they cling to the Stats.
Go over the grounds at least every
other day and take whatever has
fallen and remove faded blossoms.
Keep the dahlias well tied up. Thin
out the plants that are inclined to pro-
duce 30 many branches that the air
cannot circulate freely through them.
II the season Is dry, 1t will be neces-
sary to apply at least pailful Of wa
ter daily to each plant. Keep the
ground well hoed and mulch It with
grass clippings from the lawn. Apply
water after sunset and see that 1t gets
close to the base Of the plants. For
this purpose use a watering pot with a
long spout.
Get some Of those unique Texas rain
lilies which bloom two or three days
after rain. Plant them not later than
the middle Of June In a rich, light soil,
four inches deep, and where they will
get plenty Of sun, and they will bloom
until August.
Well-decayed manure Is much bet
ter fertilizer than commercial fertiliz-
er. because 1t supplies humus, thus
improving th> capacity Of the soil for
holding moisture and admitting the
air to the roots.

A beautiful-looking salad to serve at Easter
Is the water lily salad, which is as delicious to the
taste as its appearance suggests. To make this
salad cut the whites of hard-boled eggs into point

genuine Easter feeling. Unfortunately, of late
years the spring hat no longer plays leading part
as an Easter symbol, for, as 1t insists on appear
Ing with the New Year and won't stay In its shell
until Easter time, It can longer make an Easter
entrance with any dramatic effect.
Those who complain that 1t is difficult to re-
member the date of Easter should glance over the
records of the troubles of the early Christians
In this regard. 1t was many, many years before
1t was possible to settle upon the method where
by the date of Easter should be determined, and
80 violent were the disputes over the matter that
different schools of Christians arose. some follow
Ing one decree as to the Easter celebration and
Others obedient to entirely opposite pronuncia-
mentos.
Discrepancies In Dates.
There was such difference In calculations as to
the time Of the feast that Bede records that In a
certain year Queen Eanfieda. who had received
her instruction from Kentish priest Of the Ro-
man obedience, was fasting and keeping Palm
Sunday while her husband, Oswy king of North
umbria, following the rule Of the British church,
was celebrating the Easter festival. In 325, at
the council summoned by Constantine, 1t was de-
cided that Easter day was to be on Sunday and
that 1t was to be calculated at Alexandria, the
home Of astronomical science. From this arose
the present method of calculating Easter. which
sets the day as the first Sunday after the first
full moon after the vernal equinox. provided that
full moon does not fall on Sunday. Should II do
so then Easter Is the following Sunday.-New
York Herald.
