For Flower
Hedge Try
Althea
Many People Grow
Them as Specimen
Shrubs or Trees.

SOME Of us get tired Of pruning a
hedge every few days, in fact about
all that we get from privet hedge is
work That there are other suitable
plants for hedges seems to be a mys-
terry. If a screen is all that is wanted
some Of the evergreens might be con-
sidered for they usually are pruned
but once year. The Russian olive,
Siberian elm, barberry, spireas and
the althea are all satisfactory hedge
material.
The althea or rose Of Sharon as 1t is
often called tHibiscus syriacus) is OF
considerable use as a hedge plant. es-
pecially in the city since it tolerates
adverse conditions They may be
pruned re- severely without greatly
affecting their Towering. They may be
trained as high hedge or AS low as
or feet. Many people grow them as
specimen shrubs or as small trees.
They have rather attractive flowers
which are borne in profusion in late
July and August.
Some nurseries carry long list of
varieties. for the althea is availabl in
single, semi-double and double flowers,
in wide range of colors and combina-
tions Of coiofs. from a pure white
through various shades Of pink and
red to lilac and purple There Is also
a variegated forr--the leaves Of which
are Of value, but it is a very sparse
bloomer.
The rose Of Sharon grows we'll in
almost any soil, but, OF course, when
we'll fed and supplied with moisture it
repays with a splendid show OF flowers.
In light sandy soils the roots are apt
to become too dry, causing the leaves
to drop.
Like the crapemyrtle, it leafs out
very late In the spring. Newly setout
plants often do not show leaves until
in July. They are easily propagated
from seeds, although seeds seldom
come true to color. by cuttings (hard-
wood in the fall and softwood in the
summer) and by grating. Even layer
ing may be used to secure an early in
crease in plants.
To obtain tree, the althea should
be pruned to single stem. For bushes
and for hedge all branches should be
pruned back each spring to stimulate
new growth. The flowers are borne on
the current years wood and so spring
pruning does not curtail the bloom.
As a tall narrow hedge the althea is
very satisfactory: it tolerates con-
siderable shade. Most gardeners con-
fine their pruning to keeping the
plants shapely, and to thinning out
old wood. To keep the bushes small
and compact cut the branches back to
two or three buds each year.
Some people object to the althea be-
cause of the seed pods which remain
on the bush over winter but they NAV
be easily removed. And also, because
they seed SO freely. Removing the seed
pods corrects this fault, If it is one.
While there are many named va
rieties Of the althea. most nurseries sell
by color, i.e., double white, etc. Jeanne
dare is the best of the double-fower-
ing white varieties and is often listed
by name.

here to greet our fathers when first
they landed on our shores, but it
wasn't until about century ago. when
q Scotch gentleman from Glasgow
came to this country to collect seeds
and plants to take back to his own
country that any attention was given
to this lovely blue flower.
From seeds Mr.. Drummond gathered
In Texas came our lovely annual
phlox which bears his name Phlox
drummondi as we call 1t comes IN
white. yellow, pink. salmon, lilac,
purple, and crimson flowers. 1t ADDS
a delightfully."- gay bit of color to
our gardens.
1t was from the phlox paniculata
(often listed as P. decussata), common
from Pennsylvania to Illinois, how
ever, that most of our hardy sum-
mer-blooming perennial phlox have
come.
Back in srandmother's day there
were only two varieties. Do you re-
member them, the white and the ma
genta?
The whites are still great favorites.
especially Miss Lingard. white with a
pale lavender eye, Albion with pale
pink center. and Mrs. Jenkins, an
ver-blooming pure white.
But the magentas we discourage.
However, the magenta strain is still
so dominant that If we are not care
full to cut off fading blooms before
the seeds ripen and fall we shall
proba bly, have flock of seedlings
which may have reverted to the old
parent magenta shade or at least an
inferior to the parent plant. Phlox is
a particularly good garden flower be-
cause it blooms from June until frost
1t is easy to grow them, too. They
want soil that is rich and moist yet
we'll drained. They like sun on their
foliage and mulch over their roots.
The best way to water them is to let
the water run very, very slowly with
out pressure until the ground is
thoroughly soaked Be sure not to
wash the dirt away from the tiny sur
face roots.
THE phlox should be set about 1s
inches to feet apart Either in
April or October is a good time to put
in new plants, separate the old ones,
or move them to new positions. We like
to do 1t in the fall. For exhibition
blooms divide each fall and reset
using divisions with not more than
three eyes. Be sure to give them
plenty of water at blooming time.
Phlox drop their individual florets
so soon after picking that perhaps they
are best left in the garden. where
their delicious fragrance after the dew
has fallen will well repay you for
choosing some other flower with which
to decorate the interior of your home.
. 1 wish I might tell you that phlox
were free from all diseases, but un-
fortunately they are attacked by mil
dew and occasionally by red spiders.
A good busting with sulphur will pre-
vent mildew and take care of the red
spider. too. A good, vigorous washing
with the garden hose will also be
beneficial in controlling the red spider
Wetting the foliage in the evening,
however. encourages mildew. Miss Lin
gard and other suffruticosa hybrids are
practically immune to disease

gain little real appreciation OF

DENNY has talked over the
L different editions of Dick
ems works with the Childrens'
librarian before she goes to buy.
When she selects books for chill
dren she has a definite author
in mind and has informed her
self on what an authority be-
lives to be the best editions for
q particular aged child. She
wants a book which will broaden
the child's social outlook. in
crease his appreciation for good
English literature: holds his in

which he will be proud to take
care of and keep. She will look
for a book well constructed of
good materials; the print large
and clear on unglazed paper
which is heavy enough to pre-
vent any shadows from print or
illustrations on the reverse side.
She wants a well-designed and
beautifully illustrated book.
These features are expensive to
produce. but with care the book
will be a lifelong possession.

Griddled
Oysters

Heat the griddle the same as
for griddle cakes. Wipe the
oysters dry and spread them on
O clean towel. On your serving
dish have as many slices Of
toast as there are persons to
serve. Have your griddle hot
and drop on it a piece OF but
ter about the size of pea, and
Immediately drop oysters on the
butter. Continue this rapidly
until all the oysters are ON the
griddle. Now come back and
start on the first one; drop a
bit of butter near it, then slip
the knife under the oysters and
turn to the other side on a fresh
bit of butter. Continue until
they are all turned. Place the
oysters on toast and pour over
them drawn butter and serve.
The work has to be done quickly
or the oysters will be cooked
too much. Do not butter the en-
tire griddle to save time. If you
do, you will have burned butter
and it will destroy flavor Of
oysters,
