Under The Star program, the color
prints are released in groups of four
a week for IL weeks, priced within the
reach of every one, and designed to
bring art to the entire public.
The fourth set is now on sale at the
art booth on the first floor of The Star

returned to Rome.
Before long there was tennis game
that turned into a mortal combat.
Caravaggio broke his racket over the
head of Ranuccio Tommasini who,
with no more ado, fell dead. Caravag-
gio was arrested but being badly hurt
himself, was held under bond of 500
gold pieces before being taken to
prison. Again he fed and several
months later was working, as peace
fully as his nature allowed, in Naples.
Here there appeared a fanatical
admirer of his in the person of Leo
nello Spada, who attached himself to
Caravaggio, initiating his mannerisms
in painting and personal charm" 4"
Spada, from what is known, shared all
Caravaggio's faults of character and
had none of his painting genius. They
painted and made merry while nego-
tiations went on in Rome for Cara
vaggio's pardon. The pardon failed
to arrive. The two friends took them
selves off to the Island of Malta.

The Louvre possesses an excellent
example today. For the cathedral
Caravaggio painted the magnificent
"Beheading of st. John the Baptist"
1t is his greatest work. He had hardly
finished his masterpiece when a local
and notorious fighter and bully had
the notion that he would like himself
painted. The robes of the grand mas
ter still lay in his studio. Caravaggio
conceived the plan of painting this
ill-favored client as knight of justice
also. The grand master. furiously an
cry, gave reason to the knights of
justice and had Caravaggio thrown
into jail" In the meantime the faith
full and enterprising Spada made off
with Moorish slave woman and was
nowhere to be found. Caravaggio did
not linger either. He climbed the
prison walls one night, boarded a ship
and set off for Sicily. In Sicily, with
the knights of Malta hot on his trail,
he was obliged to hide. When the
search became less intense, he worked

He turned naturally to painting.
Before he was 20 he had painted THE
Martyrdom of Female Saint" 1t is

at Milan, where most of his youth
was spent. When he came to Venice

There was paSser-by who, he fancied,

sideration to the smaller species, such
as crocus, glory Of the snow, grape

Nut Growing.
A T THE recent meeting OF the
Northern Nut Growers Associ-

out the fact that good progress is
being made in the development of nuts
that are worthwhile for planting in the
Eastern States. Much Improvement
has been made in the black walnut
by the selection of thin shelled vari-
eties. Perhaps the most astounding
development is being made with NJ
berts. At Geneva, N. Y, there are on
the grounds of the State Experiment
Station some 1000 new seedlings
obtained by crossing American and
European species.
This year most OF these potentially
new varieties are fruiting abundantly
and some of them are going to be very
useful in American home gardens.
The f1lbert trees are relatively small
and are ornamental in appearance. II
some Of them prove valuable hori-
culturally these fllberts should prove
very useful on the larger suburban
home places. There is a purple
leafed hazel that is singularly attrac-
tive, but of no value as a nut producer.
1t would seem that scientific workers
are in line to make up for the loss
OF the native chestnut by giving us
better varieties OF other species.
Native Species.
As THE home gardener looks back
over his experiences, certain facts
stand out clearly. among them that
each species has its peculiar needs as
to light. soil and drainage and also
that native species have less enemies
and greater adaptability than do exotic
species obtained originally from for
eign lands. Take. for example. per-

With the temperature dropping
down below the 50-degree mark, 1t is
apparent that the frost season is ap-
preaching. The geography of the
neighborhoOd that one lives In has a
material influence on the date of the
first frost and, strangely as 1t seems,
tops OF hills are safer than valleys.
Another curious fact is that certain
tender plants. such as the dahlia and
saliva, bloom best about the frost sea-
son, so that the later the dahlia show
the finer the blooms, provided one
misses the frost.

A LTHOUGH many local home
n gardens are devoted ertrely
~ to flowers, there are larger
home places in the suburbs
where fruits and vegetables are i'm
portant in the garden enterprise. At
the recent meeting of the New York
Fruit Testing Association at Geneva,
there were exhibited many new and
some older fruits that should fit very
well into the home garden enterprise.
The Seneca grape, an early maturing
white variety OF delicious flavor ap-
peared very promising. This new
grape. resulting from q cross between
. European variety and a native
variety, has none of the foxy flavor
of the American parent and is so
tender that one may eat the entire
berry as is the case with California
grapes. 1t is surely worthy OF trial
In local gardens.
OF new red raspberries, Taylor, with
very large long comic fruits ripening
In June, Is about the finest looking
raspberry that one could imagine and
has the flavor to accompany its beauty.
Indian Summer, so designated because
the plants bear second crop in late
September, has evident value for the
large home garden.
Among plums two old varieties Of
European type and origin, namely
Imperial Epineuse and De Montfort,
are of superb quality. Imperial
Epineuse is reddish plum, ripening
over period of two or more weeks
and when reaching full maturity of
exceedingly rich flavor. 1t must be
planted near other plums as the
flowers are not self fruitful. De
Montfort is blue plum Of roundish
form and rather small size, but again
of astonishingly rich flavor.
