CONTRACT BRIDGE
Flfills Contract by Making Opponents Trump Length
By WIN. e. MCKINNEY
Secretary Of che American Bridge Leagu'

Great trump length Is not O
guarantee that O contract will be
defeated. Five or more trumps are
not always an asset TO the defender,
since occasionally shrewd declar-
er, aided by the information as to
the distribution, can make the
opposing trump length serve him.

the same as for the monthly boomers
As a group. however. they are not
usually grown for exhibition or cut
flowers and so need not be pruned as
severely as are the monthly boomers.
The small weak growth should be re-
moved from around the base and the
dead and diseased wood cut out: the
remaining canes are then shortened
about one-half. In cases where they
are used as shrubs, about one-third Of
the canes should be removed each
year In this way the bush is re-
newed in three years. Old wood har-
bors disease, so an effort should be
made to cut out the oldest wood each
year. cutting it of at the ground line.
Polyanthas, the dwarf free blooming
roses, usually used as border plant
ing or in front Of shrub flowers, need
very little pruning. The removal Of
the dead and diseased wood and Z
general shaping of the bush Is all
that is necessary.
Shrub roses, such as Harrison's yell
low. Rosa Hugonis, ETC., need only the
removal of dead wood and such cutting
back rs Is needed to keep them within
bounds.
The rugosas and hybrid rugosas,
which are ordinarily thought of az
shrub roses and are usually found in
the shrub borders, require somewhat
heavier pruning. They should be cut
back at least . third to stimulate
bloom.

dead wood. in most cases should be de-
ferred until after the blooming period.
The monthly bloomers. such as
Radiance, Etoile de Hollande and Mrs
Pierre s. du Pont, are pruned pretty
largely according to the kind and
quantity OF bloom desired. Light
pruning results in an abundance Of
blooms, on short stems, while severe
pruning produces longer stems and
larger but fewer flowers. The gar
dener who wishes prize-winning show
blooms. therefore, should prune Sc
verely-that is, leave only 10 or IL
buds to the bush. But for the gar
dener who Is interested in a Towering
shrub the pruning should be much
less severe.
Assuming that . moderate quantity
Of bloom is desired with q medium
length Of stem, the first operation is
to remove the small weak growth at
the base Of the bush. Then cut away
all dead and diseased wood. And
finally cut back the remaining
branches about one-half. If the bush
Is quite robust, it might be cut back
two-thirds, while . weak grower, such
As the Rev. F. Page Roberts, should
not be cut back more than one third.
The bush when pruned then will
have from three to five branches of
about 8 to IL inches IN length. Each
branch will have from 8 to IL buds.

Druschki and General Jack, Is about

Balance Is
Essential
In Design
Flowers Must Grow
In Natural Grace
To Have Beauty.

IN OUR small gardens, classifications
tend to disappear. The orthodox
types Of garden design become
strangely mixed. The formal and the
informal, the natural and archi-
tectural, often mingle, and, strange
to say, the effect may be delightful.
It should be said that the control
ling purpose of modern garden design
is to display the beauty Of the flowers
and plants which grow in the garden.
There can be no beauty in q garden
greater than the beauty of its plants;
and the design is good in proportion to
its success in displaying at their best
the natural grace, form and color Of
the gardens horticultural treasures.
This trend toward simplicity Of
garden design is in harmony with dress
design, interior decoration and other
branches Of the decorative arts. And
like the others. the garden relies for
much Of its effect upon the studied
use Of color.
There are still to be found in our
formal gardens geometrical beds and
bisymmetrical grouping Of ornaments
which might have been copied from
mid-Victorian models: but nowhere
nowadays. except in public parks and
railway station grounds, sadly out OF
date, is the carpet bedding fashion
followed. in which plants were re.
quired to surrender their individual
charm, and become merely pigment.
with which q gardener embroidered
curious patterns on the lawn.
Patterns which would have beer
recognized as commonplace or ugly
had they been woven in textiles were
supposed to acquire merit from the
fact that to make them hundreds OF
beautiful plants were sacrificed. For
NAL beds now do not call for stiff and
formal planting, but in them flowers
are grown in their natural grace and
beauty, 50 arranged. as to both form
and color. that the feeling Of balance
essential to any good design Is pre-
served.
Such arrangements are dependent
upon skillful color grouping for their
major charm: and where can be found
= greater opportunity for the pleasing
use Of color than in . garden?
Flowers are color. They afford an
infinite range Of material ready to the
hand Of the artist who would combine
them In picture. It is not strange
that the wave Of color consciousness
which has spread over the world and
50 strongly influenced our fashions in
dress and decoration should focus In
our gardens.

Use Seed Box
For Small
Varieties
Transplantine May
Be More Easily
Performed.

THE usefulness Of nat" or seed
box is not confined to the early
spring. when seeds may be started
indoors, or in the hotbed and cold
frame.
Even after danger of frost is over.
and seeds might be sown directly in
the ground, it will still pay to use
the seed-box for the very small seeds,
like petunias, and for varieties oi
both flowers and vegetables which
must be transplanted.
The seed-box is under closer observa-
ton than even q seed-bed; it may
be carried to shady spot during an
excessively warm spell. 1t can be
kept where the hose Is handy and
soaked daily. The seeding plants may
be kept growing without a check, and,
when they are ready to move, trans
planting may be more easily performed
by earring the fiat" directly to the
spot where the plants are to be set
out.
The management of the FIAT" is the
same, whether it be used outdoors
or indoors. The standard sizes range
from 12x1S to 14x20 inches. I inches
deep. They are nailed together loose
ly. and 1t Ia not necessary to bore
holes in the bottom for drainage, a
excess water will escape through the
cracks.
The nat should be filled with . fine
loan. preferably sifted to get out all
Jumps. The coarse soil may be placed
in the bottom, but only fine soil should
be used on top.
When seedlings are grown in an
outdoor box, it is not necessary to
transplant them into pots before SET
ting them directly in the garden. But
precautions should be taken to avoid
crowding 50 that the tiny plants may
grow as sturdy As possible before they
are moved. With the coarser seeds,
SOW thinly In rows 2 inches apart and
when the seedlings appear thin out
50 that each stands alone without
crowding. With the finer seeds, it
will help to broadcast the seed rather
than sowing in rows. Take . separate
Nat for each variety and scatter the
seeds over the whole box. They will
have more room to grow this way.
Transplanting may be done as soon
as plants have made true leaves. This
means the second pair of leaves to
appear. If they are left in the box
longer than this, they should be
thinned out, If necessary, and allowed
to develop without restraint from
crowding.
Slow terminating subjects are usu-
ally best handled in = fat or flower
pot. which can be given regular care
until the seedlings appear.

Spring Flowering Bulbs.

The freeze of last Sunday night did
not hurt the crocus, snowdrops, glory
Of the snow and most Of the other
early spring Towering bulbs. Those
daffodils. whose buds were open OF
about to open. may have had their
flowers injured q bit. Perhaps the
tulip foliage will have q brown edge
but nothing to worry about.
The dubious iris, especially the
Dutch, English and Spanish iris, prob
ably suffered the most permanent in
juries. If planted early, they usually
start growth Immediately and have
their foliage above ground all winter,
which has little effect ON their spring
bloom. It does, however, reduce their
vitality and bulb-making ability. Be-
cause Of their susceptibility to winter
injury they should not be planted until
late in December. Thus their spring
growth Is retarded. and they escape
damage from late freezes.
