ings by growing their own
herbaceous perennial plants, such as
columbine, delphinium, pyrethrum and
the like. In addition, the grower Is
thus enabled to obtain the highest
quality strains of the different plants
because he can purchase seed from
the very best sources. There are GER
tain fundamentals to success in rails
ing perennial plants, the first OF
which, as mentioned, is the securing
of quality seed. At this season one
must rely on cold frames in which
the soil has been prepared by mixing
in leaf mold or peat moss. Stiff
clays are also improved by adding
sand With such provisions, early
July is very favorable time for start
ing many perennials. In nature, the
seeds are dropping to the soil at this
season and the gardener is simply
following the natural plan. Some
times one can succeed fairly we'll by
sowing in rows in the open garden,
but too often Summers turn dry and,
even though the seeds germinate. the
seedlings may be killed by drought
and direct sun. If the frame is cov-
cred with a lath screen admitting
about one-half the usual light, the
soil will not dry so rapidly and sue
cess is much more certain. In Mid
summer, part of the value Of the cold
frame is in providing q cooler en-
vironment.
When the young plants have formed
two or three of their true leaves, they
should be thinned to stand two or
three inches apart or, better yet, be
transferred to small pots which in
turn are imbedded in the soil. Pansies
handled In this manner win make
admirable plants for setting out in
October. Some growers SOW their
flower seeds in fiat boxes placed in
the cold frame. This method aids in
transplanting because the boxes can
be lifted to bench or table and save
much of the inconvenience Of working
in a stopped position.
A perennial border is about the
finest acquisition in the home garden
because SO many species bloom so
early in the Spring before the ANIMALS
can be brought into flower With a
few packets of choice seed, the home
gardener can establish a perennial
border at very nominal COST
The Regal Lily.
DISCOVERED in remote Western
~ China by Ernest H. Wilson, late
director of the Arnold Arboretum at
Boston, this lily almost at once became
very popular because Of hardness and
superb beauty. Bailey's Encyclopedia
of Horticulture describes the Regal
lily as one of the most beautiful of
known lilies and with this judgment
almost every one who has grown the
lily will readily concur. 1t has the
rare quality of persisting where
planted almost as well as the well
known tiger lily. For many years the
stocks were rather limited but have
now been built to the point that bulbs
may be secured at very reasonable
prices. The flower, borne one to six
on a stem, may be as much as 6

mitted to grow near the cultivated
plants. Like many other tasks. that
Of keeping the garden in order is not
too difficult If one keeps up with the
task. The danger of deferring clean
ing up is that the gardener may get
discouraged with the size Of the task
and allow the garden to 60 altogether
to neglect just at the time when 1t
should be paying its greatest dividends
in beauty.
Garden Notes.
WHEN Towering plants tend to grow
W tall and spindly, they may be
made to branch by pinching out the
central bud or leader. This treatment
promotes the development of lower
branches and gives the bushy, compact
form so often desired.
Leaves are dropping badly from the
hybrid tea roses due to the dreaded
black spot disease. Spraying with bor-
deaux mixture will save the disease
free leaves and give the plants an
opportunity to recover. Bordeaux mix
lures can be purchased as paste or
as a powder from most garden supply
stores and require simply mixing in
water.
Weeds grow readily these days, par
ticularly crab grass. With this species,
hoeing is not always sufficient, but
the plants must be actually removed
from the soil because of their habit
Of roofing again If moisture condi-
tions are at all favorable.
Weak rose plants that fail to make
worthwhile growth or bloom are not
always the fault of the gardener.
Some varieties are just naturally weak
and others fail to unite well with the
understood upon which roses are often
budded. The only sensible plan is to
purchase in the late Autumn some new
plants and to replace these unthrifty
plants. Sometimes it seems as If
no amount of special feeding or
pampering aids materially in restoring
such naturally weak plant material.
These weak plants are an argument
in favor Of purchasing rose plants from
rose nurseryman, rather than gath
ering them here and there. On the
other hand, some Of our local garden
ers have grown some wonderful roses
from low priced random purchased
stock. Poor growth due to dropping
Of the leaves should not be confused
with this inherent inability to thrive
Even the strong growing radiance va
riety cannot thrive If left unsprayed
or undusted.

Better Trained Police
Urged in Crime War
BY JOSEPH F. O'CONNELI

Former Congressman from Mas.
sachusetts and member Of the
executive committee of the Ameri
can Bar Association.
It is the unfitness of police
forces throughout the nation that
is partly to blame for the onward
surge of crime.
Police deal with the welfare Of
society and they should be able to
face modern conditions in the
fight against felons, kidnapers, ex.
tortionists and bandits.
In my judgment, all police
forces should be revamped. Their
members should be put through o
training school before they are
sent out on duty.
If the present departments were
better drilled in the rudiments of
warfare against the criminal
there would be less felons.
Justice should be swift and draS
tic, with no mercy shown male
factors.
The great defect at present is
that crime is not halted in its
inception.
