COLONIZATION OF LANDS IN

DR.. Mead was brought to Hawaii
by the Homes commission, which Is
charged with carrying on the project
under the Congressional act provid-

the committee might benefit of his
advice and experience gained from
colonization projects in California.
DR.. Mead's main criticism of the
plans of the commission was that the
land allotted to each settler-twenty
acres-would be too largo. as II has
been ascertained in California that

DAHLIA, QUEEN OF THE
EARLY AUTUMN

The flower OF fashion. queen OF the
early autumn. just now is the dahlia.
The dahlia is an ancient occupant of
the gardens. but only in the last few
years has IL regained the popularity
II enjoyed in great measure with our
grandmothers who had only a few
ight-quilled, stiff, formal lowered
varieties.
Now the huge blooms of looose
graceful form and amazing texture
are the greater testimonial to the
florists art
Cactus lowered varieties with
pointed petals, giant single sorts of
the Century type. huge peony flower
cd types, show. decorative and pom
pons make the dahlia almost as di-
versified OF form as the ehrysanthe-
mum which succeeds it in the gar
den in the late fall.
The development of California as
one of the great dahlia originating
centers of the world and better
knowledge of growing the plants have
made il popular Formerly it wasn't
the easiest plant in the world to grow.
Often 1t would furnish a fine growth
of leaves and stalks but no bloom to
speak OF. We thought we must sprout
the tubors early in the house. Now
we know that late planting is best
and that we should be in no hurry to
sprout the tubers; in fact let them
alone until they sprout themselves
and June is plenty OF time to plant
them out
We also know that better plants are
grown from cuttings than from di-
vided tubers. These are the kind now
sold in great quantity and they are
better and surer boomers.
Dahlia experts also advise cutting
down the clumps in June If they have
been started eahy TO encourage side
branches which give the big crop OF
bloom. 1t was formerly beksved that
rich soil sent the dHhlias all 20 leaf
Now we know that they demand rich
soil for their best development and
plenty of moisture.
