There isn't another flower under the sun
that has so many lovely varieties, and what Q
bewildering array they make In the seed cata-
logues! Perhaps an introduction to the main
types will help. We have the Singles, the
AnemoneS, the Pompons, the Hairies, the In
curved and Refiexed and the japanese.
The Single. a dainty, daisylike flower. has
bcen greatly improved and Is very popular be-
cause it Is ideal for cut flowers as well as for
garden deco: alton. The Anemone type Offers
little pompon anemones. big anemones and the
new japanese ansmones. This group, how
ever. isn't very hardy and must be grown Ia q
warm climate or q greenhouse. Varying from
fat to spherical are the Pompons, with some
attractively fringed at the tips. The Hairy tribe
is fairly hardy, but those gorgeous show flowers
Of the Orient, the Incurved and Refexed beau
ties, need a warm climate or q greenhouse.
Both hardy and delicate varieties are found in
the japanese group.
OF course you will select colors in your NUNS

dalton Of colors Is infinitely more picturesque

For outdoor growing select the early flower

The final meeting for the club

She has made Il splendid executive
officer and the club is fortunate in
having her for president for an

FISH LEAP"
JOYFULLY INTO
FARMERS ARMS
Farmers Came With Bags,
Baskets And ShOVels-
Arrests Followed

Hundreds of fish leaping jOyfully
into the arms of farmers through a
hole in the ice, is the latest freak OF
nature to result from low water
conditions in lakes and streams, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Am
erican Game Association.
While Michigan suffered further
loss of fish in oXygenless lakes, the
Ogdensburg IN. W Journal verified
another tall" fish yarn.
Through thick ice on Mud Lake,
which is unusually low, a farmer
saw fish swimming frantically Ill
what little water remained. Being
a sportsman, he turned Samaritan
and. chopped a hole in the ice so
that air could reach them.
Action came fast. Bullheads leap
ed through the opening in such MAD
numbers he could not put them back
in
Other farmers came with bags,
baskets and shOvels. Five Of them
secured 70 pounds apiece. Apparent
ly they welcomed the strange show
er of fish as mamma for Lent, for
bullheads flooded the Ogdensburg
markets at 25 cents pound-untll
state game protectors made arrests
This episode and the disappear
ance of oxygen in several iceDound
lakes of Michigan are believed by
experts to be due to low water and
dry streams, brought about by
drought and over-drainage.
