SOME TIMELY HINTS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

Prune Towering shrubs as soon as
they have finished Towering. The
secret of pruning shrubbery. In a nut
shell, Is to study the habit and growth
Of each plant. and to strive to encour-
age it; not alter it to your views.
Make note Of the yellow spots on
the lawn. If the grass is scanty the
trouble is possibly sand or poor soil.
The best cure Is to dig out the place
and put in some good loan.
Then resod the place. II the grass
Is there, but dead, the trouble Is laek
Of moisture.
If the grass on the lawn is growing
fast two mowings a week. allowing the
clippings to lie where they fall. are
easier than one moving in ten days
or two weeks, followed by a raking to
remove the cut grass.
To insure a thick privet hedge, cut
back three inches every time the
plants make six inches of growth.
Evergreens from the nursery can be
safely transplanted by the end of July.
It is important to keep the roots moist
with as much soil adhering as possible.
Pinch off the seed-pods from azaleas
and rhododendrons to insure good
flower buds for next year.
Give Japanese iris plenty Of water to
insure good blooms.
AS fast as flowers fade on herbace-
Gus plants, remove them. By not al

The larkspur, II treated in this man
ner. will produce spikes almost as
good as those of the first crop. in late

plants. During the latter part of the

Fill up the gaps left by the poppies

NOTES

Amateur gardeners often make the
mistake of planting vegetables too
close together. Plants having large
foliage such as tomatoes. peas and
beans. should be given plenty of room.
In order that the sunshine may reach
all parts.
Plenty of potash and phosphoric
acid should be used with all vegetables
and particularly with tomatoes, pep
pers, egg plants and root-crops.
II the ground was well fertilized be-
fore planting the seeds there will be
but little trouble through plants dwin-
ding In the hot weather providing the
soil Is kept light.
Much of the trouble laid to drought
comes through plant starvation.
Some plants are such rank growers
that they exhaust the fertility of the
soil very quickly unless some reserve
food is provided.
If you have not made due provision
for this in the planting it may still
be easily done by digging a large hole
between the rows or hills and filling
this with fertilizer. mixing it as much
as possible with the soil.
Rains will wash a part of the fertil-
ity down among the roots and the
plants will thus find a source Of con-
stant renewal.
This will keep them vigorous and
in healthy condition throughout the
season and the fruit formed under
these conditions will lack the bitter
ness which we often experience from
neglecting the soil.

Miss Gregg went on, knowing per-
fectly that at his next operation Doc
tor Wilson would expect Sidney Page
In the operating room. The other doc
tors were not SO exigent. She would
have liked to have all the staff old and
settled, like Doctor O'Hara or the old

Carlotta had hated her. She was

For just a moment she had an illuml-
mating fash of Wilson as he really was,
selfish and self-indulgent, just trifie
too carefully dressed, daring as to eye

daring, frankly pleasure-loving. She
put her hands over her eyes.

risen above their whisper.

Sidney still held her hands over her
eyes. He was q great surgeon: In his
hands he held the keys Of life and
death. And perhaps he had never
cared for Carlotta: she might have
thrown herself at him. He was man,
at the mercy of any scheming woman.
She tried to summon his image to
her aid. But q curious thing happened.
She could not visualize him. Instead,
there came, clear and distinct, a pic

arms to the chandelier over his head
