BY +. l.. Guam, (Penna.)
The Tigridia is a native of Mexico
and up until few years ago was very
rare in other countries. At that time
the bulbs were hard to buy and even
now some varieties are not easy
to procure. 1 believe only small
percentage of flower growers have
ever seen it growing.
l planted a bed of five hundred
bulbs in the lawn in front of my
bungalow and when they were bloom
ing, many people would stop to adj
mire them and ask what they were,
saying they had never seen them be-
fore. When they are growing one
would almost think they were gladio-
lus, except that the flower is some
what like lily with three petals.
The cup is about one inch deep and
spotted with tiger-like spots. They
come in many colors; red, yellow,
orange, pink, white and purple; and
they are as large as six inches across,
and grow to about eighteen inches
in height.
When the flower dies, the stem
should not be cut off as other flowers
follow out of the same stem at inter-
walls of about ten days. Large bulbs
will make five or six flowers, Civ
ing bloom for about two months, and
when you have quantity of them
in mass there will be about the
same amount of bloom out continu-
ally.
They should be grown under the
same conditions as gladiolus and dug
in the fall, before the ground freezes.
The tops should be cut off and the
bulbs cured for about ten days, then
stored in sand or dry soil to protect
them from mice, as these rodents
may not leave a trace of bulbs that
are left unprotected.
The following spring, the roots
should be cut off and the bulbs sep
arated. You may be surprised to
find three or four smaller bulbs have
formed. Plant them all and they
will bloom the first season and you
will soon have good supply which
will make beautiful addition to your
garden.
1t is my conviction that the Tigridia
should have favored place in every

To Make Flowers Last Long.

Of course, some kinds of flowers
cannot be made to last for more than
a day, if that long! But if you want
to make the other kinds last for the
maximum time, practice the follow
ing methods: Cut the stems as long
as possible with keen edged knife
such as a razor blade. Do the cutting
early in the morning break
fast whenever possible. Plunge the
stems at once into cold water in a
pail or other deep receptacle. Store
in cellar or other cool place for
several hours before using them.
Avoid exposing them to strong light,
especially direct sunlight. Remove
them from warm rooms and return
them to fresh cold water in the cell
lar for a rest as soon as possible
after using them. If somewhat wilted
when removed lay them loosely in
deep, cold water and let float until
the following day. Cut small piece
off the lower end of each stalk daily
so they will readily take up water.
Give them fresh water every day in
clean receptacles. Never crowd many
flowers in any receptacle, not only
because they will thus spoil quickly
but because they cannot thus be seen
to good advantage.-K.

rates that would have enabled industries
in Minnesota to continue to sell their
products on the Pacific Coast in competi.

been Gradual drying up of industry,

Delight in

Jamming Begins
After ChOre
Is Finished.

\ n USICIANS on the Saturday
M Night Swing Club have found
VI an ideal place for private jam
a sessions-in a stone quarry.
Almost every Saturday, after their
regular broadcast. the boys in the band
who like to do little tanning" on
the side, pile their instruments into
automobiles and drive out to stone
quarry about so miles from New York.
Then they play hot choruses far into
the night.
Playing in stone quarry, according
to the musicians, is like singing in
the shower. The perfect acoustics
make six-piece band sound like l6,
and the broad sorority of tone in
spires soloists to beautiful improvisa-
tions.
The idea of playing in a stone quar-
| ry was introduced by Hank Ross, tenor
saxophonist in the band, after he re-
turned from a vacation in the Grand
Canyon. Hank had played his sax
several times in the canyons depths
and was entranced by the weird and
eerle echoes. He talked about it 80
| much after his return that several of
the boys agreed to try the stone-quarry
idea.

bass; Toots Mondello, clarinetist; Will

quarry company's officials. objected to
this unorthodox use of their property.
but objections were ironed out when
the band agreed to play for the stone

- and radios faVorite comedians
resume their microphone tasks,
- there arises always the same
question. viii the comic be able to
hold his audiences, will he continue
with the same routine. has he devel-
oped new idea, a new feature that
will strengthen his hold in the radio
armament?
Otfhand. with all the major comics
back in the fold, it would seem that
for the most part no radical changes
have been made. Jolson, Penner, Can
tor, Benny, Allen and Baker evidently
consider sure-flre formula in radio
too precious to discard in favor of ex-
perimenting that may cost them lis
teners.
Perhaps they are right, for it is OBJ
vlouS that sure-fire routine con-
tlnueS to be sure-fire regardless of
familiarity. Familiarity, in fact. seems
to make the laughs more spontaneous.
Yet, it would be foolhardy for the
comics to rest on their laurels. and
we'll do these showmen realize it, for
many dlHerent names are listed as
regulars on their programs.
Phil Baker has bobbed up with two
personalities new to the radio audi
ence. Al Carr. with a voice that is
destined to carry him places. and Lu-
cille Ball, a lassie who almost stole"
the picture in Stage Door, Joe Pen
ner has new vocalist in Julie Glib
son. Al Jolson has adopted the policy
OF bringing big names to the mike each
week. while Fred Allen has dropped
his amateurs in preference for guest
star and his new feature. You didn't
expect to meet?"
Thus, 1t is seen that comedians can
continue their comic pretenses by re-
lying on their old routine. but chang
ing the characters in the old routine
does get results.
