.DAHLIA FAVORITE
FOR HOME GARDENS
Hard. Easy to Grow, strikingly Or
naaensaL and Some scrts as
Delicate as Orchids.

There is no flower that returns
more of compelling beauty and orna.
mental effect to the amateur for the
small amount of care than the dahlia
1t is easier to plant than corn, as
hardy as a sunfower, and requires
almost no winter care.
With its great variety Of forms and
coloring, its dense masses of dark
green foliage and brilliant flowers
standing out in sharp relief, it is a
most useful plant for obtaining
striking effects. The flowers range
from one-haf inch in diameter to
the size of huge sunfower; in col
or from maroon, which is almost
black, to a pure white, including ma
ny combinations of tints and Shades,
in brilliancy rivaling the SALIVA, and
in delicacy approaching the orchid.
The simplicity of its culture, adap-
liability to soils, and production of
numerous flowers make the dahlia a
general favorite in climates where
atmospheric conditions are moderate,
according to George T. Moore, d. f,
rector of the Missouri Botanic gar
dens. The plant is a perennial but,
tender to frost, so that it is necessary
to lift the roots in the fall, store
them during the winter, and plant
out in the spring The planting Of
entire clumps sometimes leads to fail
ure in producing flowers, the strength
of the plant being spent in foilage
growth. It is therefore advisable to
divide the old clumps, using but q
single tuber. AS this tuber should
contain part of the collar Of the
plant where the new buds occur, it
is best totwait until bud develop be-
fore planting.
The distance apart for plantingl
varies with the varieties, but for gen.
eral purposes three or four feet are
usually left between the plants. TheI
time of planting has been matter
IF dispute, but there is little doubt
hat early planting is not as salts +,
actory as late. To flower properly
he wood must be young and succu-
ent, this condition being obtained
'nly through continuous period of !
,rowth without q check. Early-start-
ID plants are severely checked by the
leat of midsummer and either fail
% flower at all, or are killed by the
rost before Towering. Heavy prun-
ng of woody plants may result in ,
rejuvenation to produce !
lowers. The last of May OF early q
une is considered the best period q
or planting.
Light soils are best suited for dah-
as, the original home of the genus
eing the sandy plateau of Mexico. O
IN very light soils manure or other y
umus-producing substances should 0
e introduced to improve the mos .
capacity, while heavy
oils should be lightened by the !
of sand, lime, sheep ma :
ure, or bulky straw manure. h
Futher treatment of dahlias after n
lanting consists of training them in b
ne of two ways: They may be al Il
,wed to develop unrestricted, stake
eing driven in each plant to support
lie stem; or the terminal shoots may
2 pinched out after three or four Il
airs of leaves are formed, this check c.
g the terminal growth and produc- W
g heavy, stock stems capable of v
If support. This latter process ma @
rally delays the blooming period ?

fer two weeks and removes the iarg-
est Of the flowers, but by judicious
disbudding the size Of the other flow
crs may be increased sufficiently to
serve all needs.
Thorough cultivation to conserve
moisture is essential. A mulch Of
leaves, grass clippings, or well-rotted
manure may be used during the sum
mer for this purpose. Watering
should only be practiced if done reg
ularly, the ground being thoroughly
soaked at intervals, depending upon
the weather. Mere sprinkling Of the
ground is deleterious, though spray
ing the tops during particularly hot
weather is beneficial.
After killing frost in the fall the
stems should be cut close to the
ground and the tubers carefully dug,
avoiding the breaking of the necks.
After allowing them to dry for day,
the clumps should be restored in a
cool, dry place, tops down. If the
temperature is likely to rise much
above so degrees Fahrenheit, or
should the atmosphere be too dry!
they should be buried in moist sand,
i1ne coal ashes, or sawdust. Excess,
of moisture should be avoided.
The diseases attacking dahlias are
of negligible quantity, the most Sc
rious being The powdery nildew,
which, however, is readily controlled
by spraying with sulphur or Bord- /
eaux mixture.
For satisfactory use as cut flow
ers, the bloom should be cut early in
the morning or late in the evening.
The stems should be placed in deep
water in cool place. The keeping
quality may be improved by remov-
ng most of the foliage and pIung-I
ng the stems in hot water AM. then
placing in cold water to which a tea
poon of salt to the gallon has been
ldded.

Boxing In Particular Seems to Stand

It's been rather busy summer in
sport, brethren, but unless this guess
goes wrong there's going to be more
activity in an athletic way this winter
than in many winters of the past,
writes Ray Pearson in Chicago Trib-
une. With a worlds heavyweight
championship-tha in which Jack
Dempsey knocked Jess Willard out Of
his title-the American and National
league pennant races and the worlds
series which followed jolted off the
schedule, the fellow who likes to dab
BILE in athletic activity should have
plenty to entertain him with boxing
contests, bowling, billiards and other
indoor sports.
All signs point in one direction and
that is indoor sports are going to get
a bigger play this winter than for
many years. Boxing in particular ap-
pears to stand big chance for several
reasons. There is no question but that
the holding Of that championship en-
counter between Dempsey and Willard
in a big city in the central part of
this country was big boost for the
sport.
The fact that Dempsey was return
ed the winner was another helpful
thing, because young man of Demp-

CHAPTER VII.

They started out, a skeleton caval-
cade. The three wizened ones led the
way and Andrea measured their i'm
portance by the fact that they carried
M'sungo's battery of rifles, respectful
ly surrendered by the gunbearers as
fitting tribute from onlookers to men
who were hunters in their own right.
M'sungo nodded toward them and
spoke to Andrea over his shoulder.
1.-THE old boys are my brothers in
arms and they carry the guns as
sort of insignia. When it comes down
to business they'll slip them to the
trained bearers"
Behind >adrea came Marguerite,
his atten, before and Bathtub af-
ter him; then followed the gunbearers,
a single tracker and single water
boy. No hangers-on were allowed
even to see the cortege from the craal.
Over one shoulder Bathtub carried
slung cracker tin, container of all
the food allotted to the day.
In ten minutes march they came to
the river which, in spite of Its prox-
unity to the camp, Andrea now saw
for the first time. Often she had sug-
gested to M'sungo that she wished to
visit it, but on every occasion his lips
had set in a straight line and he had
invented manifold reasons for keep
ing her from its shores. The most eff
ficacious of these arguments were
snakes and crocodiles, but while she
conceded the strength of these two
deterrents she could not escape from
an iDtuitive belief that there was
something else-some other and rank
ing cause In the back of M'sungo's
mind.

sey type is preferable as titleholder
to Willard, who fought rarely and
then only because offered exorbitant
remuneration.
Everybody who knows Dempsey
knows that he will fight when the OPP
portunity presents and after his pres
ent job with a circus is finished he
will have to do something to show
that he is champion of the world.
Jack, if we are not mistaken, has
about seven weeks more of circus life
ahead of him and after that nothing
of great moment in the theatrical
game.
He isn't the kind of fellow who
can sit around and spend his coin.
He's loaded with nervous energy and
keeps going, SO If some young fellow
should appear who thinks he has a
chance against Dempsey, it is pretty
safe bet that Jack will make the effort
to disillusion him.
