DOME Bush who first remarked.

2reaest thrower that base ball ever
produced. but he IS the lieenest rival
that Bobby Wallace ever had in this
respect. PeCkinDau~h was not a bet

ably just as good.
PeCkinpaugh was always a good
man for inside play In this he had
only one superior-Everett Scott. The
peculiar thing about Peckinpaugh' s
career was that he struck his best

THE NASTURTIUM

This humble plant. with it's ability
to thrive in poor soil and willingness
to bloom during hot weather, when
it is relatively difficult to obtain
blooms for the house. is truly val
liable asset to the home gardener.
At this season, when tulips and other
bulbs are losing their foliage and one
is looking for a dwarf Towering plant
to cover the bare places. nothing is
better than the dwarf nasturtium. It's

lily terminate under conditions UNI
favorable to smaller seeded ANIMALS.
And the wealth of bloom rewarding
the grower we'll warrants the efforts.
To most people the bright reds and
clear yellows of the nasturtium are
quite attractive. The tall-growing
nasturtium may be used to cover bare
fences and at the same time furnish
an abundance of bloom. One serious
pest. a plant louise, frequently attacks
the nasturtium in Midsummer. but is
easily controlled by spraying with
nicotine sulphate and soap solution.

when ordinary garden spinach is pro-

this vegetable are appearing in our
markets. The plant thrives in hot
weather and withstands considerable
drought, showing in this last respect
an indication of its probable relation
Unlike the common spinach, the plant
are easily grown from seed sown out
doors in hills three or more feet apart.
Unlike the common spinch, the plant
trails over the ground. forming, I'M
der favorable conditions, a solid mat
of vegetation. A very desirable quail
ity Of New Zealand spinach is that
it can be cut repeatedly, furnishing
a constant supply Of spinach until
cut down by the Autumn frosts. 1t is
cooked and eaten in the same way
as ordinary spinach.
Strange to say, New Zealand spin
ach is the only contribution that the
vast continent of Australia and out
lying islands made to our edible vege-
tables.
