uonal defense commission are de-
veloping plans to bring skilled un-
employed workers from interior

Comments on
Posies for
Ill Friend
Flowers Should Be
Softly CO1Ored and
Not Too Fragrant
BY EDITH HOUGH.

Few gifts are so appreciated by
tnvalids and persons temporarily
confined in hospital or sickroom as
those of garden flowers, which en-
liven the atmosphere and suggest
the sunlight and freedom of out
doors. Often flowers are the only
possible gift, when candy cannot
be eaten, books are too firing and
knick-knacks soon lose their nov
city, and always posies from the
garden have an air of well being
and a natural charm lacking in
those from the dollhouse.
The color of the flowers is their
chief merit in lending brightness
and gayety, but it should be re-
membered that the harsher tones
of glazing red and orange are some
times irritating if they are ever
present, as they are in the sick
room. Pale blue, green and Law
ender and the soft pink and yellow
of roses are constantly soothing and
refreshing during the longest, most
tedious days. White, though spright-
ly and trim in appearance, may
seem fatty depressing If regarded
for too long a time. Large flowers
appear awkward in limited spaces,
while the smaller, daintier ones are
inviting to the gaze which must
rest on them for many hours, I'M
consciously studying their detail,
and they present miniature view
more stimulating to the magma
ton. Potted plants are especially
interesting, as their development
can be observed.
Though flowers give out carbon
dioxide at night, 1t has been found
that the quantity is insufficient to
be injurious. Almost all i'll persons
are PERMITTED fresh air, unless the
room Is Theoretically sealed, and If
the air Is not fresh, they will suffer
first from the gas expelled from
their own lungs, a larger quantity
than could be emitted by an as
sortment of flowers. During the
day, while the flowers produce
oxygen and absorb the carbon
dioxide emitted by animal life, they
are rather beneficial. Only If the
humidity in summer or the cold in
winter Is injurious to them, need
they be removed from the room at
night.
If the room cannot be properly
ventilated, however, the heavy fra
GRANGE of some flowers has drug
ging, soporific effect. Large num-
bers of lilies, narcissuses, gardenias,
jasmines or orange blossoms, for
example, are definitely narcotic.
But generally speaking, the sight
of flowers nearby, particularly those
from gardens, is far more healing
and stimulating than a small guam
ttty of carbon dioxide or perfume
could be harmful

Plants Often
Harmed by
Feeding

At this time we find IiIacs and
many similar shrubs at the end of
their growth for this year. From
now on all plant energy-in the
species under discussion-is ex-
pended in making fat, plump buds
and terminal shoots for next sea-
sons flowers.
Extra feeding at this time nav
start new growths 1t may cause
an out-of-season Towering or may
force the buds to remain greener
than necessary with the result that
they may still remain soft when cold
weather arrives. Soft buds are the
kind which freeze. Many times you
are the cause for the n-flowering
of otherwise well-cared-fo plants.
Do not then treat plants which are
maturing buds with too much care.
Frequently water them and keep I'D
cultivation, but withhold foods.
Later, some time after frost or
dormancy has checked all growth,
the plants can be given some food
in the form of rough bone or horn
shavings. One pound 10 a specimen
plant is none too much. These ma
terialS, when dug into the soil with
a rake or spade, will remain whole
for long time, but by spring some
of their benefits will begin to ap-
pear in the plants. From then on
they will disintegrate slowly, pro-
viding slow, but never-failing sup
ply Of rich root and foods.

Chionanthus Is Ideal
For Those Desiring
A Tall Shrub

Gardeners who are thinking
about adding to their shrub COL
lections this fall and have an ap-
propriate setting for large speci-
men should find Chionanthus or the
fringetree interesting.
Fringetree is a large shrub or
small tree which bears snowy pam
icles of small, white flowers which
hang like punches Of fringe In May
and June and dark blue fruits in
the fall. 1t is rather easy to grow,
has nice foliage and does not at
tract insects too strongly. The plant
naturally grows in moist sandy
loan soil but Is tolerant about soil
and will grow well with rhododen-
drons and azaleas, although 1t pre-
fers soil not quite so acid. II
trained as q tree Chionanthus will
reach a height of 20 to 80 feet.
The native species is Chionanthus
virginia.. There is another species
c. retusa, Chinese fringetree, which
Is a bit Shower than the white
fringetree, as it bears more and
larger panicles at blooming time
which is a little later than white
fringetree.
Although both these species may
be propagated by seed it is a rather
slow process. The plants do not root
easily from hardwood cuttings, but
nurserymen usually carry supply
of these attractive shrubs in stock
making them readily available te
gardeners who desire the plants.

Parsley and
Chives Easy
TOGrOw
These Two Herbs
Are Practically
Indispensable
BY LOUISE HENDEY.

Albums are dubious herbs belong
ing to the lily family. There are 800
known species of which about 10 are
cultivated in the open ground mostly
as vegetables few as ornamentals.
The color range is from white to yell
low and through pinks to purple.
They all like soil that is rich and
loamy in a sunny situation. The
albums. like so many other herbs,
furnish not only seasoning for food
but add attractive plants to the bor-
der. The best known are onions,
leeks and chives.
Next to onions, perhaps chives are
most commonly grown in the herb
garden of today. Chives have small,
slender, hollow leaves which when
finely chopped are used for iavoring
salads, stews and soups.
The plant bears small round heads
of tiny lavendar flowers on foliage
that grows from to inches high.
Both foliage and flower are so at
tractive that they may be used for
edgings. 1t will be necessary to cut
the flower heads or to gather the
seed to avoid self-sowing or this
otherwise beautiful album may be-
come a troublesome weed. Chives
once established will last for many
years. They may be started from
seed or by root division.
Parsley (petroselinum hortense) is
a biennial herb grown as an annual
which is so well known and liked
that there is little new to tell
about it.
There are three forms or kinds
that are commonly grown-the cur
ly-leaved (P. crispum), the fern
leaved P. filicifolium and the
Hamburg or rooted (P. radicosum).
All are used for meat, soups and
salads, although the curly-leaved Is
the most used for such purposes as
well as for garnishing. The fern
leaved Is equally attractive. The
Hamburg is usually cooked like par
ships.
Because parsley seed terminates
so very slowly-sometimes not for
several weeks-it is we'll to soak the
seed in warm water over night be-
fore sowing. Sow outdoors in the
early spring in rows 10 to IL inches
apart covering the seed one-haf
inch. Thin to about inches.
Cut the parsley all season. In the
fall dry and store some in tight cans
or transplant some roots into boxes
or pots to be grown indoors for win
ter use. To keep it green when
dried try this: Plunge the leaves into
boiling water that has been sailed.
Let them stay about half minute
or until the leaves wilt, then after
straining off the water place the
leaves on fine wire mesh in a fiat
pan and dry in moderate oven for
few minutes. Rub the leaves
through a fine sieve and pack In
tightly covered containers. All win
ter you will have fine. bright green
garnish for your favorite dishes.

Learn Proper Way to
Plant Ferns for a
Winter Indoors

Ferns are among the most en-
Joyed OF house plants. At the same
time they are, or seem to the un-
initiated, the most difficult subjects
to keep thriving. This is not true.
The trouble rests in the way they
are started and maintained.
For start, obtain the plants
from a florist. This is a good time
to start with them, because they
have been kept in cool, shaded
greenhouses, which soon must be
heated. If you delay, the plants may
become accustomed to greenhouse
conditions.
If single plants will be used, have
| a jardiniere for each. Into the bot
tom place a whole or a part of a
building brick. On this the pot will
rest. Then pack moist moss, which
you can obtain at a seed store, COM
pletely around the pot, filling the
space between it and the jardiniere.
Now place the whole outdoors in a
shaded position. The north side OF
the house is ideal. Water so that an
inch of fluid remains in the bottom
of the jardiniere and never apply
moisture directly to the soil hold
ing the potted plant. Depend upon
the water which the pot will obtain
from the wet brick and also that
which 1t will absorb from the moist
moss surrounding it.
On cool nights take the jardiniere
indoors. This also may be done dur
ing transform, since the jardiniere
may collect too much water and
thus damage the fern.
Water-tight window boxes may
| also be used indoors.
