It was an unlucky circumstance that
gave both plants the same name, but
perhaps it is fortunate that the con-
fusion occurred in the case of two rel

Nurserymen commonly propagate
| lilacs by budding on privet roots.
Privet foliage is sufficiently distinct
from lilac that there is no trouble in
telling whether the inserted bud or
buds on the root are growing. Planted
deeply, the lilac stock soo1 sends out
roots of its own which after time
support the growth of the plant. In
the home garden lilac plant may be
increased by layering, that is. bending
down and partly burying a young
shoot which has been previously partly
cut or notchcd. BY the succeeding
Spring this buried shoot will be rooted
and capable of living when separated
from the mother plant.

Desire on the part of parents to give
their children better advantages in life
is one reason for the purchase or the
building Of home. according to one
developer who made an analysis Of
houses he had sold.
He said, II believe that the average
parents of children in the teen age are
deeply interested in learning about their
childrens associates and in learning
about the sorts of activities which fur
nish the greatest entertainment to their
children. But now can the parents Sc

The Garden Clubs.

James NJ r. Adams. president of the
National Capital Dahlia and Iris So
ciety and long time resident Of Takoma
Park is evidently unable to suppress his
enthusiasm tor flowers even on the
Fourth of July. His float, featuring his
little daughter, Mariory Lee. as Miss
America, was tastily and Effectively dec
grated with flowers, cons .cuous among
which were blue hydrangeas. Miss
America carried beautiful bouquet of
red roses.
There is certainly a dearth of news
from the garden clubs at this time, due
in a great measure to the fact that
most of the clubs ar. now enjoying a
we'll deserved period of rest following an
unusually active Spring season. Never
theless any information concerning
proposed activities for the balance Of the
year or unusual experiences in the sea-
son Just completed would be very well
come at the present time. Any mate
rial addressed to the garden editor will
receive prompt attention. Among in
teresting questions is the adviSability
of awarding cash prizes at exhibits.
The Takoma Horticultural Club, for
one. has taken a stand against this
practice, believing that cash awards
often lead to hard feeling and have
little to commend Them. One thing is
certain, the Takoma exhibitions have
gained in quantity and quality under
the non monetary award plan.

force. 1t is the germ OF divine
life scattered like seed IN the
souls of men. But the harvest OF
it is sure and the harvest OF it Is
great.
So Jesus goes a little farther
and emphasizes this by reference
TO a specific seed. He takes the
little mustard. seed. chosen tor its
tfniness, and over against It he
sets the tree putting forth
branches. The great tree Is con-
tanned in the seed.
1t is we'll that we should grasp
the reality of this truth. other
wise We shall be apt to miss the
kingdom OF God through despis-
ing the only way IN which It may
take root in our hearts, or we
shall be. deeply discouraged be-
cause the kingdom OF God does
not grow as rapidly as we think it
ought TO.
The lesson Of the seed is, have
faith in God. We cannot either
enter into the kingdom or give
our allegiance to the kingdom
without faith. OF course as we
look back from the days of Christ
we see how this kingdom has
grown. We see the fellowship
that began in a few disciples now
a worldwide fellowship OF souls
who believe in Jesus and who
strive to do his will.
