Doctors Know!
-. and they use
liquid Iaxatives

You'd use liquid, too, if you knew
how much better it makes you feel.
A liquid laxative can always be
taken in the ri ght amount. You can
gradually reduce the dose. Reduced
dosage is the secret of real and safe
relief from constipation.
Just ask your own doctor about
this. Ask your druggist how popular
liquid laxatives have become. The
right liquid laxative gives the right
kind of help-and the right amount
of help. When the dose is repeated,
instead of more each time, you take
less. Until the bowels are moving
regularly and thoroughly without aid.
People who have experienced this
comfort, never return to any form of
help that can't be regulatedl The
liquid laxative generally used is DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It contains
senna and cascara, and these are
natural laxatives that form no habit.
It relieves a condition of biliousness
or sluggishness without upset.
To relieve your occasional upSets
safely and comfortably, try Syrup
Pepsin. The druggist has it.

rounding soil. Varieties naturally me-
dunn pink produce a deeper blue upon
treatment than do dark pink varieties.
Where plants are growing near ce-
ment or brick well, it is more diff
cult to bring about blue coloration
because some of the ioots will con-
tact calcium compounds.
The old-fashioned Lydrangea, pani-
culata grandihora, and the white va
riety, arboreScens, now in bloom, are
not influenced by soil treatments.
Cultivated Burberry.
TN THE last week or two, one may
have observed the fine large blue
berries for sale in the markets in cell
lophane- covered packages. These I'M
usual fruits are the proouct of culti-
waited BURBERRY plants grown in gar
den form. There are thousands of
acres of wild blueberries harvested
each year, but it is only in the last
few years that the BURBERRY has be-
come a truly horticultural acquisi-
ton. The Department of Agriculture
took notable part IN this forward
movement by aiding in isolating the
best varieties and In learning how to
prune and fertilize the plants. Now
there is a stable list of named va
rieties of high-bush blueberrieS, such
as Cabot, Rancocas, Rubei, Katharine
and Pioneer. Planted IN rows pruned
carefully and fertilized, such varieties
yield the large berries seen in the
market.
AS to the possibilities of cultivation
in the home garden, some gardeners
have succeeded very well with these
new blueberries. The BURBERRY grows
best in an acid-reacting soil and many
home gardens have been lined or fer
tilted with neutraliZlng materials,
such as nitrate of soda or calcium
phosphate, and are, without special
treatment, no longer suitable environ
ments for blueberries. In such loca-
ton, the leaves are inclined to turn
yellowish green and growth is almost
nothing. Almost any native, untreat-
ed soil in this vicinity should be acid
enough for blueberries, ard if brought
into good physical condition with leaf
mold, peat moss and sand should grow
excellent blueberries. For thorough
discussion of culture, pruning and
varieties. see New Jersey agricultural
experiment station circular 229, Blue
berry Culture" by c. 5. Beckwith and
s. Coville, published in 1881.
Feeding Shade Trees.
4 THOUGH many home gardeners
fertilize their fruit trees regularly
few give thought to the naples, oaks
or other shade trees in the lawn or
parking. Yet these trees need atten-
ton in many instances. Growing in
grass sod, little of the fertilized broad

repeated small applications are de-
sirable.
AS was mentioned earlier, young
privet hedges need repeated clipping
to encourage branching growth. In
other words, one must not expect
to grow the hedge to the desired
full height in one season, but rather
to bring it up gradually. Those
privet hedges which were cut down
in the Spring are making fine re-
covery and, in most cases, are in
far better condition than If left un-
pruned.
The hardy primulas look rather
decrepit at this season because the
Spring foliage has maturcd and the
new leaves which will restore the
plants to prime appearance in Sep
TENDER are just making their appear
ance. The plants need cultivating
and fertilizing to hasten their re-
covery.

an increasing pest, is the white ant

One home gardener found that the
dahlia tubers were being eaten out
by the termites. About the only
thing that can be done is to replace
wooden posts with iron posts and
destroy plant rubbish by burning.
Many an old-time garden owed
much of its popularity, not only to
brilliant flowers, but to fragrant flow
ers and foliage. Heliotrope, with its
panicles of sweet dark blue blooms,
lemon verbent with its aromatic
sweet-scented leaves, and some Of
the sweet-scented geraniums, were
generally present. Sometimes one

plant q succession of tomato varieties.

ing the two heterogeneous materials
mentioned are excellent.
The sweet potato, white potato, to-

vegetable garden, are themselves ma

of fact, native flowers and native
vegetables constitute the bulwark of
Summer gardens.
Garden Notes.
WHAT appeared to be the onset Of
a small drought has fortunately
given way to copious rains. 1t Is
surprising how quickly our local soils
dry out after a few days. This is
due to a low content of organic mat
ter and explains, in part, why in
cooperating peat moss or rotted
manure or leaves Is so valuable in
improving the condition of garden
soils. Peat moss will hold something
like 200 per cent more Of water than
will sand and much more than clay.
Raspberry canes live only two
years-that is, die the season of
fruiting. There is nothing to be
gained by leaving the old canes in
the beds and they may do harm in
dry season. These old canes may
also harbor insects, making it de-
sirable to cut them out and burn
them. This is also true of black
berries. Currants and gooseberry
branches, on the other hand. live
several years and need only pruning
to keep the plants in shape.
Summer fertilizing is often neces-
sary to push along dahlias, gladiolus
and other Autumn flowers, particu-
larry so If the plants are growing
on soil from which a Spring crop
was removed. Fertilizer tends to leach
into the deeper soil, particularly
heterogeneous materials, and therefore
