The Garden
Department
By Ferdinand Wiener

Some of the earlier sorts of an
nual Asters are setting buds for
bloom, in fact, for some folk, they
will be in bloom within a short
time if not already so. Which
brings to mind, that the size OF
the flowers may be increased, es-
pecially desirable for exhibition
purposes, by disbudding. Such var
ieties of Asters that will be in
bloom by the time the annual
flower show is held this year dur
ing the fair, Aug. 16-17-18, may be
made more snowy, if the prospect
i've exhibitor will pinch out most
or better still, all the lateral or
side buds on plants selected for
the purpose.
Try this on a few plants on your
asters, also on zinnias, and other
similar plants, and note the diff
ference between those disbudded
and the plants left to grow the Or
binary way. Naturally, Of course,
there will be fewer flowers on the
plant. If done in time, immense
flowers can be grown, as the
strength and energy will be spent
upon a few flowers on the plant,
rather than upon many buds.
The annual or China aster Is a
native of China, and was first in
troduced in Europe about the year
1871, by Jesuit missionary, r. p.
dIncarville, for whom the plant
genus Incarvillea was named. The
flower was single in form at first.
Double forms were first known
about 1852. The plant has also
been called the German Aster,
for in its early stages as a garden
flower, most Of the improved
forms were received from Ger
many. James Wick, of New York,
an American Scotsman, was res
ponsible for the origination and in
PRODUCTION of a great many variet-
les. AS early as 1895, American
seedsmen offered $50 varieties,
which now has almost doubled in
number.
Botanically, the plants are
known as Callistephus, the Greek
for beautiful crown, and are native
to China and Japan. The French
call it the Reine-marguerite, while
the Germans know it as the SOM
meraster.
The plants are sometimes
troubled with yellow" The best
preventive is thorough cultivation
of the soil. The furnished plant
bug is also responsible for spread
ing aster diseases. It may be con-
trolled by arsenical sprays, or
picking the bugs may be practiced
where there are only few plants.
AS to aster-wilt, the best thing to
do. is to use the wilt-resistant
strains now available. Commercial
plant growers are using the wilt
resistant strains more and more,
although the seed is higher priced,
the results are much more salts
factory.
Some wood-ashes worked In
around the plants now will be ben
eficial. Also keep stirring the soil
around the plants.

THROUGH A
Wmanss Eyes
By JEAN NEWTON
'"IT DOESN'T MATTER"

GIT DOESN'T matter!" said very
situation which involved tremendous
disappointment to her.
The people responsible for her dis
appointment were waiting in embar-
rassment to see how she would take
it. The atmosphere was surcharged
with uneasiness and gloom.
But, like magic wand were those
words, "It doesn't matter" They raised
the pail Of gloom, everybody breathed
easier, great deal of unpleasantness
that might have been was avoided.
The point is that, as this woman
said, 1T doesn't matter" it was more
than a gesture The others were con-
WINGED that it didn't matter, and were
so much happier about something
which at that point couldn't be helped.
And perhaps her saying so convinced
the woman herself that it did not mat
ter, for she seemed far too contented
and cheerful for disappointed person.
What a gift that, being able to say
convincingly, ut doesn't matter" even
being able to believe when things turn
out differently than we had expected,
hoped, desired, that ut doesn't mat
teri"
If there should be one panacea to
create smooth sailing in this world of
struggle it would be that. There is SO
much telling of how much the things
matter which have not turned out to
suit us. And to no end but some ones
pain. For there will always be mis-
takes, shortcomings, insufficiency on
the part of some one-things that can
not be helped, once they have hap
pened; they are things which can be
dwelt upon until their significance In
harm and unhappiness is many times
multiplied, or they can be minimized
and forgotten, and so produce the least
possible chagrin and pain, as in the
case Of the. woman who was able to
say convincingly, 1T doesn't natter"

WATCH THE CURVES

There were changes in him-changes
Of which he was aware abstractly. He
had made mistakes he would never
make again. There was ignorance
washed away, and contempt and ap-
athy; an oppression, an ominousness
he had once known was lifted. The
mistakes he had made were on the
very lip of consciousness, but they
stayed there, peacefully. They would
come later: no hurry any more.
There was Barry to think Of. 1t was
very odd he hadn't remembered that
he could think of her till now. Her
image appeared quietly in his mind,
walking toward him with that straight
legged, inquiring, unself-conscious grace,
Doc at his cheerful trot beside her.
Soon he would see her lovely face, her
eyes lighted, smiling. It was good to
see her walk because last time he'd
thought Of her-last time, she'd been
sitting on the edge Of bed, knees
clasped hard in her arms, her head
bowed, her eyes-strange, sullen, dark
WIFI
Suddenly, before he knew what it
was, Hal yelled her name and strug-
gled against the tight-tucked sheet
across his chest; and dreadful ava
lanche tumbled memory and terror
upon his beguilement. He had an arm
free before the nurse could get to
him. He was breaking the nurses
hold when a young man, in white up
to the neck, appeared on the other
side and forced him back to the pill
low.
Listen" said Hal, commanding the
attention of the mans blue eyes: I'm
not delirious; I'm not crazy. I know
where am: in hospital in Los An
geles because of a motor accident. But
you've got to let me Upright away.
I'll come back afterward, but you've
got to let me up. It's a matter of
murder-murder- I've got to stop
it. You'll kill me if you keep me
here. / swear to you / know what
I'm saying. Look in my eyes. I'm
sane-sane as hi. You've got to be-
-lieve it."
"Mr. Ireland!' the young man said
sharply. "Listen to me-" Then, slowly
and significantly, you've been here for
over twenty-four hours"
Hal knew it was significant even as
he wondered why it was said so sig
nificantly. Then most terribly he saw !;
his shoulders fell away from resist
ance and all his breath went out in
