]R-Frankie Parker succumbed to
Fred Perry in straight sets Monday
in the mems national singles ten
mis- championship and the after
effects OF his defeat are felt mostly
py the II. s. Lawn Tennis ASSocia-
ton Tuesday.
Parker went down, Ga. Ga. 60 In
a fourth-round match which saw
the defending champion, peeved be-
cause he was made to play IN a
chill. wet atmosphere, go AL cut"
in the last two sets and give n Of
the finest exhibitions ever turned
in here.
For two years Parker has been
one Of the Associations bright
young hopefuls. He's one Of the
youngsters the USLT.A.i Is counting
on to wrest the International Davis
Cup from England's Perry and
Bunny" Austin.
In Perry,s opinion it Is very
doubtful II Parker will ever grow UP
to cup stature.
II never heard Of anybody who
get to the top without a forehand."
Perry said.
Parker wasn't expected TO beat
Perry. but he was counted on TO
make a better showing than he did,
Here and there over the West
Side clubs courts:
Wilmer Allison. the top seeded
American, Is piqued because the
USLTA. put him In the same
half Of the draw with Perry. AS the
ccuntry's No. / and last years
flnalist. Allison feels he should have
been put in the opposite half instead
Of Don Bulge. Now the only chance
the Texan has Of winning the title
Is by beating Perry in the semi
final and then taking over Bulge
who appears to have q cinch path
to the title round.

/ wish for every child the joys
OF cheerful bones with simple toys,
Warm clothing for the winter hours,
In summertime, green fields and

The clasp Of gentle, guiding hands,
A mothers heart that understands.

On childhood as a happy book.

at all too late to esta blish porch boxes
and flower beds. There are large
number Of species useful for these
purposes, including the geranium,
heliotrope, lantsna, coieus, petunia,
ageratum and ever blooming begonia.
It is mistake, however, to attempt
to grow plants without thorough
preparation OF the soil, which in

of fertilizer. Shredded COW or sheep
manure will give very satisfactory
results, particularly II the soil has
not been in garden use before. With
the exception of the coleus, which
Is grown primarily for its brilliant
foliage, all the other species men,
toned remain in bloom until frost.
The lantana Is relatively new in this
region. but its orange and red blooms
and perpetual Towering habits are
increasing its popularity rapidly.
Vegetable Culture.
THE cool Spring was very favorable
to peas and other Northern type
vegetables. One home gardener from
nearby Virginia reports that his gar
den peas were the best this year that
he had ever produced. However, as
certain species prospered others, such
as the tomato. eggplant and melons

is very simple task to pinch out
the side shoots as they appear. Plants
trained in this manner will produce
fewer fruits, but the crop will come
along earlier and be o. the highest
quality. One can offset the reduced
cropping by setting more plants In
a given area. Phosphorus fertilizers
have been found to promote the
ripening of the tomato and, therefore
bone meal or superphosphste should
be particularly useful for this crop

however, ever surpass the pure white

Painted Daisies.
OF ALL the Spring perennials, none
~ gives more satisfaction for dis
play and cutting than does the pyreth-
rum or painted daisy. This species Is
related to the ordinary white field
daisy. so closely. in fact. that white
pyrethrums appear almost like ordi-
nary field daisies. However. there is
fine range OF color in the garden
pyrethrums from white. through pink
to deep reds. Another species of pyr-
ethrum is we'll known for its insect
killing capacities This has. however,
small white blooms OF no particular
attractiveness. Painted daisies do not
usually blossom the first year from
seed. but seed sown now will produce
plants that will bloom next Spring. 1t
is advisable to grow sufficient plants
so that q selection Of colors may be
