Most people associate the planting
OF bulbs with the fall months, losing
sight of the fact that there are al
most a limitiess number of spring
and summer Towering bulbs and
roots that must be planted in the
spring. 1t might be well to mention
that the number of bulbs that are to
be planted in spring include the fol-
lowing. Cannas. Dahlias, Gladiolus.
Caladiums, hardy summer Towering
lilies and a vast lot of other tuberous
plants such as valley lily, tube roses,
vines callas, begonias, Amaryllis.
peonies, Iris, glaxinias, funkia, etc.
The time to plant all this stuff is
confusing to the average gardener,
but it is the mission of The Age
Herald in that department to tell you.
Write us about your planting trou-
bles and we will endeavor to give
you accurate information.
The proper time to plant spring
and summer Towering bulbs is u
great problem with the average gar
dener The time to do this don't
amount to so much. It's the way you
do it that counts. Most any spring or
summer Towering bulbs can be
planted this month, but early plant

deeper than ordinary. For example,

generally necessary to plant more

The Aftermath

After the tragedy of the trees
comes a realization of what ought to
be done after the ice storm has pass
ed into history. The recent glaze or
ice storm has put the Birmin CHAM
street trees into a deplorable condi-
ton and everybody is concerned as to
what should be done. The city seems
incompetent to handle the situation
and are seeking means to bring
order out of chaos. Only common
sense is needed to assist Nature in
repairing the damage. There Is great
need for common sense in conserv-
ing what is considered one of Bir-
min gham's greatest assets. her
matchless trees. There is need for
prompt attention All damaged and
torn trees should be pruned and cut
back to a sound and safe basis. 1t
is necessary that all cuts or wounds
be disinfected in order to prevent
the induction of insects and disease
that are prone to make their appear
ance under crippled conditions
A city tho size of Birmingham
really needs a forester whose duty
would be to look after the citys trees
and prescribe certain regulations re-
garding their planting and manage
ment that would avoid the tragedy
that we are today confronted with.
What Is a Permanent Pasturef
gentleman from Morris, Ala, was
in The Age-Heraid office few days
ago to express his appreciation OF
some things that this paper does for
the Alabama farmer and stated that
he was led to seed 10 acres to per-
manent pasture for his dairy cows
through The Age-Herald that had
been worth hundreds of dollars to
him in his business.
What this man needed was, per
manent pasture for his live stock,
Like most other farmers, he had been
in the habit of letting his stock
take the range. getting what they
could from the natural grasses or
forage afforded by our natural
growth, which is barely sufficient to
support life This man finally de-
cided to SOW real pasture for his
cattle and the results were so amaz-
ing that he no longer let's his cattle
out on the range, but keeps them
confined to pastures that he has Gre
ated from the sowing of grasses.
One great trouble in the south is,
that our farmers don't appreciate the
value of cultivated grasses. A per-
manent pasture is splendid invest
ment, not an expense, yet few farm
ers in the south can grasp the i'm
portance of grasses as chain in
real economic farm management.
our county agents ought to stress
the importance of a permanent pas
ture on every farm.
