 "Of course you all, on Hallowe'e 'en, a lot of pumpkin men have seen. Well, lots of them come right from here. carve them out myself.
 Tomorrow night I'll send through the air, their funny pranks to do. Now, who will help me bring them out here? They are on shelf"
 We all will," little Duncy cried. "You stay here while we dash in- side. If you carved all the faces, you are tired. Just rest while"
 The Tinymites ran in and out and had a lot of fun, no doubt. Soon all the pumpkin heads were out and stacked up in pile.

 "The old witch has dandy bed where she can rest her weary head And there are lots of other things Come, peek right in and see."
 The whole bunch promptly crowded round, and then they heard funny sound. "It's from inside the pump kin" said wee Duncy. Gee, let's run.
 T guess we have no business here. The witch was fooling us, I fear. Besides, just peeking into windows isn't any fun.
 And then the pumpkin door flew out and they all heard shrill voice shout, "Oh, do not run away tots. Everything will be all right.
 While inside here I moved a. round and that's what made that funny sound. I did not know that it was going to fill you all with fright"
 "Aw, I'm not scared one little bit.

in lawns where the soil Is sweet and
alkaline.
The heavy use Of lime and bone
meal encourages weeds by main
tanning the soil on the alkaline
side. A neutral soil, neither too
acid nor too alkaline Is to be pre-
ferred. 6-S-6 or 4-124 commercial
fertilizer at the rate Of four pounds
to 100 square feet Is good thing
for the lawn.
Plan sweet peas as early as the
ground can be worked. Soil should
be deeply prepared, that their roots
may go down and fortify the plants
in warm weather. Do not plant too
close; six inches between plants is
desirable, pinching back to make
the plants branch out. Sweet peas
prefer soil that Is slightly alkaline.
If superphosphate can be obtained,
apply at the rate Of five to ten
pounds per hundred feet Of trench.
Early paintings OF gladiolus may
be made as soon as the ground
dries out, although the main plant
ing should not be put in too early.
The smaller bulbs and bulblets also
should be planted earlier than the
large bulblets, thus giving larger
and more satisfactory blooms.
Have you ever tried Dahlias from
seed This Is quite interesting.
Many seed catalogues list the seed
from different types Of Dahlias. It
is not too late to get them now,
planting the seeds inside in boxes
about three inches deep, covering
the seed not over half an inch. The
seedlings will appear in a few days.
After they are three or four inches
high, replant in pots, leaving them
until the weather Is favorable out
side.
The plants If well taken care of,
will develop rapidly, and will also
bloom the same season, perhaps
little later than those started from
tubers. Danlias do not come true to
color from seed, but there Is al
ways the possibility Of securing a
new worthwhile variety In this
manner. Secure high grade seed
and you will be pleased with the re-
suits. The dwarf single bedding
Dahlias grown from seed each sea-
son are becoming more and more
popular each season.
Plan to exhibit at the flower
show. The friendly competition
that a flower show affords, is one
Of the joys OF gardening. If you

OF various things especially for the

The Garden
Department
BY Ferdinand Wiener

April the month when Nature
awakens from sleep of many
months, is also the beginning of
another busy season. If we have
been putting things off the past
weeks, we viii soon be forced to
bestir ourselves. Now begins the
digging, blowing, and other ways
of stirring the soil, selections of
seeds and plants, and many other
things for the new season which we
all hope will be better than the pre-
ceding one.
However, we should not be in too
great hurry to do the spring
spading. Working the soil while
wet and cold leaves 1t in Jumps
that are a long time in being pull
verified. If the soil when squeezed
in the hand. remains in a solid
mass, it Is too wet. Proper soil pre-
paration is one OF the successful
roles in gardening, in fact with any
work connected with growing
things.
Early spring is a good time to get
after those weeds in the lawn.
While digging them out, sprinkle
some grass seed on the spot. Good
lawns don't just happen, they are
the result of thought and work.
Weeds are usually more prevalent
