FlOwering Azaleas

Nurseries in the east are propagat-
ing extensively large list Of beauti-
full Towering Azaleas hardy enough to
thrive under conditions existing in the
milder sections of Maryland. There
are both evergreen and deciduous
sorts and require soils free from lime.
They combine especially well with
rhododendrons and other broad leaved
evergreens. The flowers range in
color from white through varying
shades of pink to brilliant orange,
scarlet and rosy purple. The azaleas
are mostly early Towering types, and
for brilliance Of effect and profusion
of bloom there is no other group of
shrubs to equal them. A moist, semi
shady location suits them best.

THE HOMEMAKERS CORNER
BY MISS ELSIE BENTHIEN
Home Demonstration Agent

Increasing stock of dahlia varieties
may be accomplished in various ways.
The commonest method is simply to
divide the clumps in early spring. 1t
should be remembered that the eyes
are clustered around the crown at the
base of last years stem and not on
the tuber as with potatoes. 1t is es-
sential to have section of the crown
containing an eye attached to tuber,
if a good plant is to result. If one is
in doubt as to how to divide the
clump, set in warm dark room for a
few days until the buds start to de-
velop. Be careful not to break the
neck of the tuber as this interferes
with the young plants getting needed
nourishment.
A sharp kitchen knife and small
pair Of pruning shears are useful in
struments for the operation Of sepa-
rating the clump.
Some varieties grow in such shape
that separation takes place readily
and almost every tuber will produce
good division. Other varieties are
less easily handled and often only two
or three good divisions are secured.
Dahlias grow readily from seed and
the majority of plants will bloom the
first year if started early. The quail
ity of resulting seedlings will depend
pretty largely upon the source of
seed. The better the seed the more
likely will good types of flowers re-
suit. However, they are all interest
ing and a group of seedlings in bloom
may be depended upon to give riot
of color,

French players organized a stock
company and came to America to revo-

spirit OF the thing. the venture was not
financially successful
The group disbanded in Providence,
r. l., and Miss Anita La Pierre, the
leading actress Of the company, was
forced to seek employment as person
