TULIPS IN POTS FAILING TO
FLOWER.

When tulips In pots in window ger
dens fail to flower there are usually
two reasons for the failure. First the
pots OF bulbs were not allowed to
remain long enough in a cool. dark
place for sufficient root growth to
develop; second tafter the pots were
brought out into the light at some
time or other the soil was permitted
to dry out.
The soil In the pots in which tulips
are growing must not be permitted to
become dry for a single moment. Once
the roots become dry the plants will
not flower. Keep the soil moist con-
stantly. even II 1t is necessary to water
them twice day
Tulips for window gardens are good
subjects for moss fibre. Plant singly
or In groups in pots or bowls having
no drainage hole. The moss fibre
should be kept wet, and as II retains
the moisture for a long time the dan
ger OF drying out Is not so great as
when the plants are grown in earth.

DO NOT DESTROY BARBERRY
HEDGES.

Clippings have been received Of an
article that appeared In the Times
on March 20, also letters inQuiring Il
barberry hedges and barberry used
for ornamental hedges should be de.
stroyed to prevent wheat rust.
The article gave the impression that
the popular ornamental hedge and
shrub barberry. barberry thunbergi or
japanese barberry. was the one tina,
harbored wheat rust, which Is not the
case. and It Is useless to destroy hedges
or ornamental specimens OF that
plant.
1t Is baroerry vulgaris that IL
troublesome and here in the East this
is not a very common plant. while bar
berry thunbergi is found in almost
every yard, and TO destroy them would
cause a considerable and needless loss
The article states that the common
barberry. with certain other varieties
Of barberry and mahon'a are the
plants upon which the insects that Gre
ate the black stem rust OF wheat and
other small grains breed" In another
place the common barberry is referred
to as that one time popular hedge and
ornamental shrub"
The common barberry. b. vulgarls
never was a popular hedge and orna-
mental shrub. Not in the East.
Wheat rust, by the way. IL not an in
sect, but a fungus; not an animal, but
a vegetable.

early spring. by supporting one end Of
the sash on a block Of wood As the
plants grow stronger and the weather
becomes warmer more air may be
given and for a longer period of time.
Too much heat from the fermenting
manure OF q hotbed and too little air
will produce tall. spindling. weak
plants that will be Of little or no value.
Overwhelming, too much shade. weeds,
poor seed and deep sowing tend to
cause poor. weak plants.
When the seedlings begin to crowd
each other Is the time to thin them out
so they will stand an inch or two apart
or transplant them, giving the plants
The same spacing.
Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers and
cucumbers should be transplanted two
or three times, to cause a mass OF
fbrous roots, or sow the seeds in paper
pots and do not disturb until ( ey are
plants. DO not permit the seedlings to
become crowded at any time or their
growth win be retarded.
Plants grown In this way are six or
eight weeks old when set out, thus
gaining just this much time in ma

Beautiful Mammoth Dahlia, Flowers Foot in Diam
eter-l Color Is Light Lavender Overcast With Pink

Tho Millionaire dahiia was oris
mated by George L. stillman. who has
the distinction Of having originated
more mammoth novelties in dahlias
than any one In America
The story Of the origin Of this huge
flower rs most interesting. a. It was
only by chance that II survived Its
rather abused existence the year It
was produced from seed.
This plant with about dozen others
Of Mr.. stillman's choice specimens
from his special pollenizing expert
ments happened to grow in n secluded
and rather shaded place where they
did not have the opportunity of de-
veloping equally as well as others in
the same field of over 1000 seedlings.
These few unmatured seedlings were
gathered in promiscuously after the
frost had killed the foliage. Having
not produced any flowers. they were
kept for planting again the next

seed 10 be discarded without knowing
what kind Of flowers they were to
produce.
Tho next season when this lot of
seedlings began to open their flowers
the very unusual and beautiful color
Of this particular dahlia attracted Mr..
Stillman's attention.
The seedlings were planted quite
iiose together. and under these adverse
conditions produced blossoms Of such
enormous size that this particular
plant was carefully kept for special
propagation the following season,
when It was given somewhat better
treatment. II proved to be a strong.
easy grower.
The Millionaire was wen named, as
II has probably made more money for
its originator In the same. space Of
time than any dahlia ever produced.
The Millionaire was first offered In
1917 and the price was SO per bulb,
which was the price last year also.
