Suburbanites to Make
Their Lots Bloom Again

"The demand for all kinds Of flower
seeds and bulbs, however, has sur
passed anything that we have expo
rienced before. The fact is the subur-
banites are. now able to get coal and
labor again, and large plots that were
left uncultivated dur:ag the war will
now be spruced up again and planted
with a profusion of blooms. We have
sold large quantities of red and yellow
tulips, hyacinths, sweet crocuses. snow
drops, narcissi, datfodils and jonquils.
Vegetables are being bought in all
varieties. There is strong demand
for those that take less attention and
care, such as potatoes, radishes, scall-
ions, corn, early beans, carrots and
bccts. The more experienced gardener
is planting tomatoes, peas, celery, let
tuce and cabbages. You can see that
unless the town is visited by hail
storms and cyclones the harvest Of
1919 is going to be abundant and va
ricd."
The raid on Mother Earth is being
made from every quarter, and every
little space, it seems, will have a cul-

To Benefit Ex-Soldiers

Some means of transferring Liberty
bond instalment payment accounts of
discharged soldiers to banks where
the subscribers can continue their pay
ments in civil lie are under discus

the Treasury
The action is prompted by the
forced cancellation of millions of dol,
lars of subscriptions made iy soldiers
who on discharge find it impossible to
pay the entire balance of their account
at once. Consequently they are COM
PEELED to abandon their subscriptions

which have been growing in size and in
menace to the health of the community

declared that serious epidemic has
been narrowly averted, and asserted
that they will make every effort to
prevent reoccurance of the situation

give rise to an epidemic AS the weather
was fairly cool, we escaped serious
consequences, but next time VIC might
not be SO fortunate.
Urges Future Precautions
precautions should be taken in the
future to keep the removal machinery
in operation. With 5000 and 10000
people living in a single block, 1t IS
possible to preserve health only by the
most efficient sanitation methods ,"

work on the East Side and put them to

In pointing out the necessity of
keeping up the community and home

'Therc is room enough in almost any
backyard to make an addition to the
table of fresh vegetables for Il large
part Of the year. An hour or so a
day will cover the requirements and
will afford, in addition, healthy outdoor

kitchen garden savors of tragedy. It
may mean nothing worse than in

Mr.. Pack, of the National War Car

from solving our food problems, has
brought new ones.
"ln reclaiming territory from the

have greatly increased the number OF
their people who must be fed. By re-

Deaths in 1917 Nearly
Doubled Births in Berlin

The statistics office of the city of
Berlin has just published data regard
ing the population in the city for the
last few years During the last year of
peace, 1913, there were 42,l93 births,
a against 28,067 deaths, so that the
births were IA, 1926 in excess.
IN the year 1917 there were in Ber
lin only 10, 45S births, as against 4,13S
deaths, so that the excess Of deaths
over births in that year is as great
as was the excess of births over deaths
during the peace time.

Garden Campaign
In Full Swing to
Help Feed World
BacAlosiers Show More Budg-
nent This Year and Buy
Only Seeds That Expert
ence Proved Profitable

TIE backyard garden campaign,
which under spur of necessity has
taken such firm hold on tic American
public, is in full swing once again.
In the midst of the busy traffic that
wcaves throughout the entire city New
York has already begun to raise vege-
tables in soil that has never been cul-
tivatcd since Broadway began to boast
Of its wickedness
The arrival of the first spell of gent
inc spring weather has brought with it
the usual flood of pamphlets and cata-
logues. officials of the National War
Garden Commission announce that, in
view Of the fact that the war is over
all the liltlc plots shall be now known
as Victory Gardens instead of War
Gardens. Their need. however, says
Charles Lathrop Pack, president Of the
commission, is just as vital this year
as in previous years.
Judging from thc rush on the seed
dealers, New Yorks crop outlook is
bright. The dealers say, however, that
the amateur gardeners arc buying more
intelligently and carefully this yeai
than last. The novelty of experiment
ing with all kinds Of vegetables. thoS
say, has worn. Off, and the novice is
now buying a.fcw kinds of seeds, anc
only those that he has found suitable
to his soil.

Unprecedented Demand for
Flowers and Bulbs

1t has also developed that although
there are as many vegetables being
planted as at other. times. the demand.
for flower seeds and bulbs mas greatly
increased, the call so far this season
far surprising all of last years sales.
This, it was explained by several deal
ers, is due to the return of labor for
suburban estates and the availability
Of coal for hothouses.
Charles Littlefold, of Peter Hendcr-
son & Co., stated that the gardener
this year will produce better and more
useful products, because he is buying
in that direction.
you will be surprised to know" he
said, that the average person coming
into our place doesn't purchase seeds
in the harem-scarem fashion prevalent
when the drive first began. He now
selects his seeds with care and only
such as he has found he knows how to
attend to and viii grow in his particu-
lar piece of ground. This. of course,
will do away with a -ot of unnecessary
waste and labor and will probably re-
suit in a greater crop .nan we had last
years 1t also shows that the people
have seen the value OF keeping up their
gardens.
