they were all Of one color. There are
but two yellow stamens in the throat
Of each little flower and the style
is long and slender.
When planting the sweet William
give it background in order that
the plant may show off to better adj
vantage. The seeds are usually sown
IN the open as soon as all danger of
frost has gone or you may start them
within doors. Give them about one
foot apiece, SO that they may have
root room.
As these sweet Williams bloom ali
summer, food should be given them
at regular intervals, if you would
have large, handsome flowers. I
know that the plant does well even
on poor soil. But why not consider
the return the plant is giving you,
and remember that good food and
enough water add much more beauty
to your plants.
Remove the old flower clusters.
They only take away from the COM
ing MOVERS. Do not use the young
plants that come up about the vigor-
Gus old. ones. Late in autumn, when
the plant dies down, separate the
roots and transplant to places you
wish them to stay. This keeps you
with the strain of plant you desire.
Save the seeds from the most per-
feet blossoms and SOW them the fol-
lowing spring.
The sweet Williams that wish to

They have formed a strong race of
their own. and because of their sturdi-
ness they have attracted considerable
attention of flower lovers. Naturally
they are going to find that too much
attention may cause bare places to
be seen where once the wild sweet

GATHERING OF
NECTAR BY BEES
Apple Blossoms Have Suffic'
lent Sugar Content For
Workers
OTHER BLOOMS LESS

Bees are highly selective in gath
ering nectar from flowers. They
prefer a nectar with high con-
centration of sugar according to
w. j. Nolan, apiculturist of the
United States Department of Ag
riculture. The sugar concentra-
tion should be at least 80 per cent
to attract their whole-hearted at
tention. A so percent solution
suits them better. Since the nee
tar concentration varies widely ac-
cording to the kind of bloom, and
even from hour to hour for each
kind, beekeepers and orchardists
face real difficulties in keeping the
bees working satisfactorily. Apple
nectar has a sugar content within
the range preferred by the honey
bee, but pear and apricot have too
low a sugar content, particularly
at some hours, the scientists have
found. Bees may work blossoms
of certain plants for pollen, or even
for nectar, in early morning hours,
only to desert them later in the day
when nectar in other blossoms has
become sufficiently concentrated to
be more attractive. Thus beekeep-
ers sometimes notice that bees
work pears until midmorning, then
desert them for other honey plants.
Experiments in India, says Mr..
Nolan, raise the question of wheth-
er nectar concentration can be in
creased by adding chemicals to the
soil. He also suggests that plant
breeders may be able to increase
the reliability of pollination by Sc
lecting and breeding fruit varieties
that will produce nectar sweet
enough to suit the demands of the
bees.
