GARDEN ITEMS

The Easter lily Ia hardy In this
locality, making 1t possible to set out
bulbs that were obtained as ported
plants at Easter time with fair expecta-
ton Of their survival.
Crocus plants have now practically
completed their blooming, but are still
in an important stage OF their exist
ence-that Is, the young leaves are
making food for the bulbs. The gar
denef must be patient and allow the
plants a few weeks In which to COM
plete this necessary function before cut
ting on the leaves. Too early cutting
OF the grass Is the principal cause Of
crocuses disappearing from the lawn.
Winter rye Is now about foot high
and should be turned under as soon as
possible. AS the rye gets older the
stems become more woody and are
much slower to decay into organic mat
ter disable by the garden plants. Win
ter rye Is one aid to garden fertility
that should not be overlooked. It Is
sown In the Autumn and lives over the
Winter to make its greatest growth at
this season OF the year. Rye viii grow
on soils too low In fertility to grow
good garden crops.
The pruning of bush roses should
have been completed before this time
and, rather than cut them severely now,
1t would be better to wait until after
the first flush of blooming Is past. The
rose beds should be spaded and fortified
with bone meal or any good fertilizer

Are Your Trees and Shrubs
Starving to Death?

TITS surprising to see the great mum.
i Der of trees that are actually starv-

nourishment.
Trees, after all, are nothing but
very large plants. They need the same
feeding care you would give your lawn,
flowers or vegetable garden.
For trees and shrubs, like all plants,
are living things. They require plenty

best on a balanced diet"

nothing as annoying to expectations Of

One other factor in worlds series
play, remains to be discussed. and 1t Is
an important one.
Bruins Not scary.
The charge has been made that the
last two worlds series were won before
the ball game commenced because the
presence of Ruth and Gehrig tossed
scare into the opposition. That Is not
my charge, understand, but it has been
made rather freely.
The obvious conclusion is that there
is no Ruth, or no Gehrig, in this series.
My own thought in the matter is that
the Cubs do not scare very easily. Thev
have been an aggressive, fighting ball
club all the way. They have had had
breaks in the way of losing valuable
PLAYERS. all along the race. but that has
only served to make them battle the
harder.
They haven't considered any ball
game lost until the last man has been
declared out, and their percentage oil
victories in which the club came from
behind by sheer fighting spirit is an
interesting one.
We accept the Athletics on this same
basis. Theirs has been long battle to 7
win a pennant. It hasn't been the most
encouraging thing to find the pennant
within grasp, only to slip away. as II
has for at least two seasons the Athle-
tics spent in trying to overhaul the
Yankees. A less courageous club would
have decided that the job was too much
and would have given up. The Athletics
kept on going. They had the fight.
That sort of ball club is the one q
would choose to meet in a series for theI
worlds championship. and when the
fight begins on Tuesday. you'll find the
Cubs swinging after the enemy hasI
ouieted down. That's habit with the
Cubs. and habits are tough things toI
break.
