FLOWER HINTS FOR BEGINNER
BY {. VAN sENTHUYsEN.

Flowers should have friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. Often
they will make fine showing In
very poor soil, but like humans, they
appreciate good care.
Do not allow the flowers to form
seeds. AS soon as the flowers begin to
fade, pinch them off; your flowers
will keep in bloom much longer and
the blooms will be larger II you pay
attention to this little detail. Pansies
and sweet peas particularly require
looking after.
Use your flowers in borders and
around the sides of your lawn. Never
make flower beds In the center of your
lawn. A bit of green turf, well-cared
for, is an asset to any home grounds.
II you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn. NOW 1t often and let the
clippings lie where they fall. This
keeps the soil from drying out toe
much and helps fertilize 1t as 1t de-
Gays.
Support sweet peas on a hedge Of
brush. This Is better than poultry
/ hSLlAuBt uS TIC sun uOCS uOL meat IL buO
burn the tender tendrils Of the cling
ing sweet pea.
Plant your shade trees far enough
away from the house to allow the all
to circulate around the house. Sun
shine in the home is a tonic and cart
should be exercised when planting tina
trees do not interfere or shade thu
windows too much.
Do not plant your flowers too clos
together. Give them all a chance TO
life. Pansies should be planted tel
inches apart; petunias and verbenai
at least eighteen inches apart; mari
Colds, two feet; peoples, ten inches
zinnias, eighteen inches and phlox
foot. Flowers will not be plentiful o
thrifty If grown too close together.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1917-03-02
USE CARE IN COLOR OF
ANIMALS

For summer Towering, ANIMALS are
very satisfactory, blooming profusely
through the entire season, while the
cost of a seed packet is buta trifle.
Good taste dictates the system OF
planting large punches of single spe-
cies together rather than the old way
of mixing dozen varieties in as many
square feet.
It is the same plan that places a
dozen carnations or roses In a vase
rather than a heterogeneous collection
In the old-fashioned bouquet. Mass
your flowers II you would secure the
best effects.
The old calliopsIs, "lady's breastpin"
they used to call 1t, is a handsome
plant, Its long, slender stems render
ing II extremely useful for cutting,
and the shades Of gold and brown
harmonIzlng nicely.
A mass of It next TO the shrubbery
In the background gives a most pleas
Ing effect.
| Some handsome form of single
dahlia may be secured by planting q
packet Of the seed In pots early In the
spring and transpIanting the young
seedlings to che garden as soon as
danger from frost is over.
The colors Of some Is very fine, and
to one liking the single flowers, the
plan is a good one of getting variety
at n small cost.
Unless started very early, these
geedlings rarely mature tubers that
will keep through the winter, though
they commence Towering almost as
soon as the plants are started from the
tubers.
The ysanthemum-fowered asters
are much more pleasing, both grown
in masses and for cutting, than the
"quIlled" bouquet sorts. If but tive
kinds are started, let them be white
and lavender with rose as a thirt
choice.
Do not order mixed packets Of seed
II Is a great temptation to do so, bu
II fine specimens are expected, tbs
surer way Is to single out one or TIVE
colors.
While the mixed packets are II
many instances highly satisfactory
the single colors are made mp from tn,
best individuals.
With pansles for spring, sweet pea
for summer and asters for autumn
one may be sure of having an abund
ance of the most beautiful cut flower
for all occasions.
Red petunias and red geraniums ar
a combination to be avoided. The.
make a dlscordant note.

WANAMAKER A FLOWER FAN

People who know the name of John
Wanamaker in connection with a
gigantic fortune, with the making of
speeches at national conventions and
as that of philanthropist of modest,
though important roles, will be sur
prised to learn that this busy man of
method and system is an ardent cul-
turlst of flowers. One of the most
striking sections of the recent exhi-
billions has been one devoted to show
ing his foliage plants. They are mar
velously developed and show expert
handling. The plants were grown I'M

newspaper property, but he remained
on guard until his superior returned
and then turned over the plant I'M
harmed. Incidentally, Funston also
resigned.
Along the Santa Fe railroad they
still recall how Funston, as a passen-
ger train conductor, threw a drunken
cowboy off a train and later, when
he hurled a rock through coach win
dow, pursued him several miles on
foot while the train waited.
FunsJon's first experience on the
firing line came in Cuba, where he
commanded General GomeZ's artillery
with remarkable results. After engag
ing in twenty-five battles and being
wounded three times, he resigned his
| command because fifty guerrillas who
had aided the Spaniards were execut-
ed against his wishes. Captured by
| Spaniards on his way to Havana, he
escaped death By swallowing a letter
to the president of Cuba which would
have proved his identity.
While a colonel of the famous
| Twentieth Kansas volunteer infantry
regiment in the Philippine war, Fun
ston performed feats OF bravery that
brought him the title of brigadier gen
eral. His capture of Aguinaldo and
his fording OF the Rio Grande river at
| Columpit under fire featured his
| work.
When the volunteers were dis,
charged Funston retained his rank as
a member Of the regular army. As a
regular he made a mark by maintain
ing order in San Francisco during the
disaster OF 1906. Temporarily in
charge OF the troops at the Preside
when the disturbance came. he quick
ly declared ma: tjal law and set about
obtaining accommodations for the
homeless, keeping down the cost o.
food and arresting trouble-makers. L

troops at Vera Cruz in 1914 that h
was raised to the rank of major gen
