HYBRID WATER LILIES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

There. are two distinct divisions of
water lilies. The groups are the dur
nal Towering, representatives of the
subgroups anecphya and brachyceras,
and the nocturnal Towering, which are
more commonly called night boomers.
They are the representatives of the
two lotus groups.
When the bright August days come
the flowers of the day boomers will
open between seven o'clock in the
morning and seven o'clock in the eve
ming. If the weather is dull and cloudy,
the pretty flowers refuse to open. They
stay in their coverings waiting for the
sun to bid them go on parade before
the world.
The night boomers are not so sulky.
They begin opening at sunset and stay
open until ten o'clock the following
day, and ii the weather be cloudy and
their day fellows are loafing on the
job, they take up the burden of Orna-
mentatiOn and refuse to go to bed at
their usual hour. They will stay open
the entire day when the sun is not in
evidence.
Many lovers Of flowers consider that
the night-blooming lilies are far SUI
perior to the day species. The present
day plants have resulted largely from
insect ordinations and nun yer of ex-
perimentS have been conducted at the
Missouri botanical gardens with a
view to improving the day species.
The nymphaea carpensis and it's kin
dred, commonly found in gardens,
lacks great deal of being the typical
species.
They are crosses between the blue
and the rose, which have come largely
from insect pollination. They possibly
also represent a trace of the Egyptian
nymphaea caerulea, the colors of which
range from deep blue to the darkest
pink.
BY examining the underside of the
young leaves one may tell the colOrs Of
lilies to be planted out. The color
shown under the young leaves gener-

WEEDS ARE USEFUL

The usual thing is when the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily. Now, in doing this it is almost
impossible to avoid removing a part of
the upper surface of the garden. 1t
may be only an inch or two, but that
inch is just the best of the ground.
This is the height of folly.
One reads of the thrifty French gar
deners removing SO many inches OF
their soil when they have to quit out.
There is an agreement to that effect.
The soil that they have improved with
years of labor and care is tenant s
fixture" so to speak, and they take it
with them.
What goes on in too many of our
gardens is just the reverse. Instead of
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth of our gardens
we stay and the soil goes, thrown
out in the rubbish heap to form part of
an eyesore and nuisance to the rest of
the establishment
These things should not be so. In
gardens, of which we now and then
have an inkling, there will be no rub
bish at all, for what is rubbish?
Burning is wasteful when it is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed. 1t Is another matter In
dealing with such things as old stumps,
roots and bad weeds that preserve
their vitality over the winter. For
them there must be the cleansing
fires. But why make them away to a
rubbish heap? Why not rather burn
them where they lie, at once, and scat
ter the ashes there.
Besides, rubbish, even if left for but
a few weeks, will be found to have af-
forded free quarters to an appalling,
if interesting, extent, to slugs and
other garden pests.
These rubbish heaps! What trouble
some, unlovely things they are. At a
certain old homestead | have in my
minds eye, the practice is in full
swing.

ally gives some idea of the ultimate
color of the flowers.
The work at the Missouri botanical
garden has resulted in producing two
new varieties. One is the nyInphaea
castaliaflora, pink-flowered hybrid,
which has q large cup-shaped flower,
well-petaled and said to be much the
superior of anything of its type. Its
flowers measure eight inches In dia-
| meter and sometimes as many as half
a dozen flowers are to be found at one
| time.
The nymphaea Mrs. Edward Whit
aker, in size, shape and length of
! blooming period is said to be superior
| to the old day boomers. In August the
| flowers measure as much as ten inches
in diameter. They are light blue and
well-petaled. The individual flowers
last from four to six days and on the
| third day bleach to almost a pure
white

MAKING SHELLS DECORATE

There are so many places In this
country where shells are part of the
generous contribution Of nature to the
pleasure of mankind that it ought not
to be difficult to take the hint that is
given in a recent decoration and use
the shells, in conjunction with flowers,
to make a very effective decorative eff
feet. In the picture a mere handful of
simple flowers are made wonderfully
attractive by the use of a few shells
to aid the display. Such an arrange
ment is easily possible for a table dec
grafton.
The shells can be used as often as
you please. The arrangement can be
varied and the flowers changed for diff
ferent affairs. The idea is one that
holds much opportunity for a clever
woman of the house.

ment of the land, and f4) to pay exist
ing debts.
Undoubtedly the motor vehicle
should come under the classification
of equipment One applicant for loan
through a Spokane bank included
among the things he wished to buy
with the money an automobile. He
specified that he wanted II to deliver
his produce to market and his children
to school. The banker held that both
produce and children are proper out
puts of the farm, and that the farmer
should go to market and the latter to
school. Consequently he authorized
the loan.
ut is certain that there has been
no development in the building OF
farm machinery of much more i'm.
portance than the development of the
motor truck. It's uses can be num-
bered by the score. It not only en-
ables the farmer to convey his pro.
duct to market in the quickest pos
sible time and thereby take advantage
of the best possible price, but with lit
tie effect it can be devoted to many
other uses.
THAT it is a useful piece of farm
equipment is borne out by the number
of federal farm loans made for its pur-
chase 1t has taken the product TO
the market; it has carried the chill
dren TO desirable schools; 1t has led
to road improvement the nation over
and 1t has paid for itself in many 9TH
er ways.
The motor truck is Just coming In
to its own and the most conservative
bankers appreciate this fact as much
as do the consumers"
