Quite Safe to Plant

Annuals to Plant Out Of Door,

Annuals to Plant Out Of Door,
There are many ANIMALS which
should be planted now. They are
generally spoken Of as hardy an
nuals. A few of them might have
been safely sown outside in the fall.
An early start is desirable for good
Towering. Late spring frosts will
not hurt them. The list includes:
Alyssum, snapdragon, calendula,
calliopsis, cornflower. clarkia, lark
spur, Chinese pinks, California
poppy, candytuft, nemophila, an
nual chrysanthemum, shirley and
Iceland poppies. portulaca and an
nual phlox.
Annuals whcih should be started
indoors (or in coldframe) now If
they are to provide a long season
of bloom include: Arctotis, China
asters, cosmos, balsam, godetia,
marigold, nasturtium, nicotiana,
petunia, saliva, scabiosa, stocks,
tagetes, verbena and zinnia.
Prune Early Flowering Shrubs
The pruning of early Towering
shrubs should be done as soon as
possible after the Towering season
is over. Remove a few Of the Oldest
branches at the ground so as to
renew the bush every or 5 years.
This applies to most Of the COM
mon shrubs such as forsythia,
spirea, deutzia, ETC., but not to the
lilacs or azaleas, which require little
or no pruning.
Plant q Few Glad Bulbs Now for
Early Bloom-While many Of us do
not plant "glads" until early In
May, 1t is safe to plant a few now
for early bloom.
Dig and Divide Chrysanthemums,
Physostegia and Hardy Asters-
These vigorous growers exhaust
most soils In a single year and 50
should be lifted, the soil reworked
and replenished, divided and reset.
One small rooted shoot is SUFFICIENT
to make q fine large plant by
blooming time. If left undivided,
they will not make the healthy
vigorous growth desired. Put plenty
of compost and fertilizer. or we'll
rotted manure, in the bed before
planting. The shoots from the out
side of the clump are generally
thought to be the most desirable.
Start Wedding and Fertilizing the
Perennial Beds-At this season of
the year weeds can be controlled
much easier than later on. When
removing the weeds it Is desirable
to fertilize and cultivate the per-
ennial beds. The one objection to
doing such work now is that q few
of the perennials are not yet well
started and there Is always the dan
ger Of injuring them. The difficulty
In removing weeds and grass when
well started. however, more than
offsets this objection.
Time to Start Spraying-It is bit
discouraging to talk about spray
ing at this season, but sprays are
preventatives and not cures. Apply
them before insects and diseases get
started for effective control. After
these pests become established 1t
is too late. Use tri-purpose spray,
one that contains q stomach poison
Tor chewing insects, . contact poi

land competing for top honors in
arrangement Of display.
Proceeds of the market, which
the guild hopes to make an annual
affair, will go toward construction
Of the retaining wall from the
steps to the choir and for the up

artistic landscaping Of the Cathedral
grounds.
Everything in the bishops gar
den, which was planned to har-
monize with the towering Gothic
structure of the Washington Cathe-
dral, has historical associations
from the Old War and early
America. One of its most charming
spots is "The Little Garden" where
one Of the finest collections Of price,

Characteristics.
The barrii group have cups less
than one-third the length of the
petals Many OF them have highly
colored cups and they are mostly
tall growing, Towering in mid or
later season. The leedsii are the
counterpart Of the incomparabilis
and barrii except for color. Their
petals are white and the cup is
white, cream or pale citron, some
times tinged with apricot or pink.
The leedsii are subdivided into
large crowned and snall-crowneo,
depending upon the size of the cups
The poetaz are fragrant, cluster
flowered group-often having five or
more flowers on strong stiff stems.
The flowers are mostly yellow, or
yellow and white, and few varieties
have red eyes. The poets are the
last to bloom and are tall and crisp
in appearance. A few varieties have
two flowers to stem. The fiat,
clear white petals are usually set
of by the bright red-edged cups,
which gives this group the nickname
Of red cups"
There are other subclasses of the
daffodil family, including the dwarf
groups, which are usually grown in
the rock garden-especially the tri-
andrus and cyclamineus groups.
The cyclamineus varieties, however,
require q moister situation and
hence do not do we'll in dry, sunny
rock gardens.
The daffodil shows this spring
have given us an unusually fine op-
portunity to see the really good va
rieties and to compare the various
types and colors. Where accessible,
such displays are helpful In making
a selection. This spring several such
gardens were opened to the public
and others will be during the COM
ing week. DR.. E. c. Powell at Aspen,

Daffodils Are
Easy to Grow.
The daffodils are one Of the easiest
Of the early spring Towering bulbs
to grow. They seem to do equally
well in the shady and in the sunny
yards. They are seldom troubled
with disease and then 1t usually
comes through the purchase of in
fected bulbs. It is good garden
practice to dig and burn any bulb
that shows signs of disease-streak-
ing of the leaves or a stunted, un-
thrifty appearance.
Moles and mice may eat your tu-
nps and the squirrels dig the crocus,
but these pests seldom bother daffo-
dis. Even the roots of trees and
shrubs do not seriously affect the
affodils-rather they help them by
keeping the soil somewhat drier
during the season when the bulbs
are dormant.
It is not uncommon to find clumps
of daffodils growing in abandoned

back only to 1917. when U-boats

necessity of checking the Nazi sub
marine threat before it fastens too

Sims arrived at London in mid
April, 1917, and had his first inter-
view with Admiral Jellicoe, then
first sea lord of the admiralty. the
hero of Jutland disclosed that total
sinkings by U-boat, British and neu-

February, SOB 900 in March and were
taking place in April at rate which
forecast for that month the destruc-
ton Of nearly 100000 tons. These
figures. Sims records in his Victory

times as large as those then being
published in the press" The Yankee
admiral having expressed his con-
sternation at these terrible revela-
tions," Jellicoe quietly remarked: :
1T is impossible for us to 60 on with
the war If losses like this continue"
Sims rejoined that lit looks as

Sound Detectors and Depth Charges.
According to information available
here, the British are counting heav-
lily on what they claim to be high
ly perfected system of sub-surface
sound-detecting apparatus to en-
able destroyers accurately and
promptly to scent the proximity of
enemy U-boats. There are oppos-
ing schools of naval thought as to
the reliability of these devices. His
majesty's navy, besides laying mine
fields in enemy waters, also is using
depth charges, which during the
World War frequently proved the
doom Of German submarines. Up
to the Armistice the "assassins Of
the sea" had sunk 12,s04 900 tons OF
shipping Gall nations) including T.
759, 1000 British and 397 900 American
tons.
How Many U-Boats at Large?
Naturally, the deadliness of Hit
ler's U-boat effort will depend on the
number of ships he can send to and
keep at sea. When war began in
1914. Germany had only q sub
marines in commission, and at the
maximum, when unrestricted war;
fare was at its zenith, she had 14O.
In November, 1918, Germany sur
rendered 176 U-boats. Naval au-
thorities figure that a fleet at war
generally keeps one-third of it's u
boats ''at the 'front.'" one third en-
route to and from the front, and one
third undergoing reconditioning in
home ports. When Hitler's war be-
gan on September /, it is estimated
Germany had anywhere from so to
10 submarines ready for service, and
that probably not more than one
third of these. or possibly 20. are now
actively operating. Churchill claims
that "one-tenth of the German sub
marine fleet. or one-quarter or pos
sibly one-third ,of the U-boats
actively employed" already have
