The close relationship of Sudan

pronounced similarity In their seeds.
The two kinds Of seed can be dis
tinguished, however. when their COM
parative size and certain features of

When properly interpreted, the dis
inguishing characters are believed to
be sufficiently reliable to make possible

When the seeds Of the two kinds are
under observation. the larger size of
the Sudan grass seeds, including the
hulled grains, Is readily noticeable.
The lighter color of the hulled grains
is also evident.

stood by first considering the structure
of the terminal clusters of the general
seed cluster, or inflorescence taken
collectively.
johnson grass is seen to bear several
seeds attached directly at the nodes of
the jOinted axis of the cluster. Accom-
panying these fertile or grain-bearing
spikelets, which constitute the greater
part of the unhullei commercial seed,
are several slender, sterile spikelets,
each elevated on stem or pedicel
which is attached with fertile spike
let at the node Of the rachis. 1t is to
be noted that the terminal fertile
spikelet is accompanied by two sterile
spikelets with their pedicels. 1t is es-
pecially to be noted that each node
and the apex Of each pedicel are

HINTS IN SEASON
Spring is here. Get busy!

Spring is here. Get busy.
Plant shade trees. Their cool shell
ter will be valuable after awhile.
Look for the beautiful In all things !;
you will surely find it-even in March.
Scratch a little grass seed into the
bare spots when cleaning up the yard.
Later 1t will look better.
Working the soil when 1t is wet will
make it coarse and lumpy the whole
season.
In laying out the garden, plan to
have the rows as long as possible.
This will save time in cultivating.
Be sure to thin plants that come up
too thickly. II allowed to grow too
closely together they will be spoiled for
life.
This is the proper time to slip your
geraniums for planting out-of-dOors In
the late spring. Make the slips four
inches long, leaving on only two
leaves, and plant half beneath the
soil.
When unwrapping and uncovering
trees, bushes and plants which have
had winter protection, examine care
fully to see IL insects or fungi have
done any damage. Be sure to burn the
wrappings If any traces of pests are
found, and apply such remedies as may
be needed to rout the enemy.
Seedlings grown In the house, hot
beds or cold frames, need hardening off
before planting in the open. Give them
plenty Of air, and during this month
only lower the sashes at night. when
the weather is cold and stormy.
Much trouble and disappointment
would be avoided II tender seeds and
indoor plants were not set out too soon
As a good general rule, which obtains
throughout the country, such plants
shrould not be set out, or seeds sown,
until complaining time.

THE FLOWER OF THE RICH

1t is to be doubted If any flower has
received so much attention and care
from persons of great wealth this year
as has the chrysanthemum. John d.
Rockefeller Is supposed to be the rich
est man in the world. He has never
spared any expense to produce perfect
flowers, however exacting he may be
In matters of corporation economy. He
was one of the exhibitors at the re-
cent flower show at TarrytOwn, n. Y,
where many of the wealthiest men and
women Of the entire world pitted their
flowers against one another.
And the man with a billion didn't
raise the best flowers at that. A wom-
an who had comparatively little
money had the honor of getting the
palm for the most beautiful chrysan-
themums.

REMARKABLE CLIMBING ROSES

If anyone who had not seen them, I'M
dertOOk to tell the story of the rose
beauties of Portland, Ore, the average
man would never believe the stories as
they are unfolded In print. But the
stories do not do full justice to the
wonderful rose belt of the Pacific coast.
The picture shows climbing Caroline
Testout, which had reached magnifi-
cent proportions. There are millions
of these roses along the coast and a
little comparative study Of the size
of the tree and that of the house will
serve to give an idea of the glorious
production. What do you suppose an
eastern millionaire would give to have
such an ornament at his door?
There are hundreds Of men in the
East that would not let price be con-
sideration. But then the coast has the
consolation of knowing that 1t has
many things that even money cannot
buy. One Of them Is the rose climate
and soil.

"'Years and years and years ago, l

In the Winter time. We never got any
further than talking about it-for just
as had said, well, and what do you
think of the scheme" some of the Snow
Flakes came and rested on our
branches. "Oh," they said, you're so
much nicer than the branches without
any leaves. There we have to fill up
the corners. but with you we can nestle
down.
$50 we knew then how the Snow
liked us. and next along came old Mr..
North Wind. He blew and the trees
shook. We waved about little but we
didn't shake very much. We enjoyed
dancing and signing In his breeze.
You've heard the Pine Trees sigh,
haven't you? But we sigh because we

"And the Snow nodded, so that the
branches swayed little.

the Pine Tree, that it was such Joy

the North Wind liked u.s.
