Planting Is Now
In Full Swing
In This Area

Planting Is now in full swing and
almost all seeds, bulbs and tubers
may with safety 60 into the ground.
Gladiolus corms, If planted at two
week intervals, will provide a long
season of bloom. Dahlias are Or
dinarily planted in late May. but for
early bloom may oe set out now.
Zinnias, marigolds and most of the
other ANIMALS may be sown out Of
doors with reasonable safety.
Wood ashes are q most valuable
source Of potash-an element much
needed by roses, peonies and dahlias.
II you have q fireplace and burn
wood be sure to get the ashes out
now. Scatter them over the beds
and either by raking or hoeing stir
them into the soil
Newly planted shrubs and trees
with the coming of hot weather
should be kept well watered. The
roots of recently transplanted woody
shrubs are not well enough estab-
lished to provide sufncient mois-
ture for rapid growth and to take
care Of normal Transportation.
The feeding of house plants is
often neglected. Recently products
have been put on the market to
meet the needs of indoor gardeners
and no doubt will help to keep house
plants In good condition. These
products. however, do not obviate
the necessity of repotting at least
once q year as they furnish only
the plant foods. Good potting soil
contains humus and bacteria, both
Of them being important to plant
life.
Crabgrass can be held In check in
most cases by keeping the blue
grass growing thriftily. Set the cut
ter bar on the lawn mower as high
as possible Cat least ~ inches-2
inches Is better). An application of
fertilizer Is also beneficial-use any
good brand with an analysis of
6-6-5 to 1855 at the rate Of 2
pounds per 100 square feet.

Orange Blossom Jelly

Place 3 ounces freshly gathered
blossoms in an earthen jar. Pour
over them quart Of boiling thin
sirup and let steep for two hours.
Strain, add gelatin and place In
cool place to mold.
For rhododendrons or rose tree
blossoms it might be well to add q
little lemon juice, as they are sub
acid.

planted in the flower borders in
October, where they will produce
bloom, If in protected places, from
midwinter on until June. Beds fully
exposed to the summer sun ordinarily
"pass out" in June, whereas those in
partially shaded places often con-
tinue In flower well into the summer.
Pansies are gross feeders that
thrive in well-enriched soil. One
gardener uses mixture of half peat
moss and half sheep manure to pro-
duce the beautifully rufned, large
blossoms for which she Is we'll
known. Other gardeners use guam
titles Of well-rotted COW manure in
the soil and mulch with peat moss.
In the parks you will often find the
pansy beds coated with manure. Food
and moisture are most important for
vigorous growth and large flowers.
Winter protection other than a
mulch is unnecessary in this area.
Pansies may be used In many
ways. Beds of them are always in
teresting, and they may be used as
edgings, grouped among the shrubs,
or planted among the spring flower
ing bulbs. Their bright colors and
interesting patterns make them at
tractive in any situation.
Sweet violets viola odorata) are
charming, dainty and much loved,
although they seem to be a bit more
difficult to grow than most OF the
so-called true violets. This difficulty
is partly due to our belief that they,
being violets, should be planted in
shade, the deeper the shade the
better. Actually they prefer light
shade and protection from midday
sun. Morning sun is best for most
plant life. Overcrowding, however,
is their chief difficulty. Annual
lifting and dividing is advisable for
they set runners so freely that they
soon become too crowded and die
out. Leaf mold freely incorporated
IN the soil provides food and re-
tains needed moisture.
Besides the sweet violet, there are
a number Of others, which are Of
interest to local gardeners. Rosina,
the little pink violet" is q form of
the viola odorata, and there is also .
white form. v. latiuscula, the broad
leaf wood violet, is very adaptable
and can be naturalized. It seeds 50
freely that it may become a weed,
but its generous crops of fragrant
flowers In the early spring more than

incognita) is very snowy and is q

such as v. blanda and v. pallens are
fully as useful. The cream violet

aid of British bombing planes, were
said to have captured improvised

to be shelling Nazi defenders at

PARIS, June 8.-"Paris will never

eminent spokesman said today.
Asked whether, if the worst came
to the worst, the French would de-
clare Paris open" in an effort TO
spare the worlds most beautiful
city, the spokesman answered.:
Never! We are confident that
Hitler's mechanical hordes will
never get to Paris But should they
come so far, you may tell your coun-
trymen that we shall defend every
stone, every clod of earth, every
lamp post, every building. For we
would rather have our city razed to
the ground than fall into the hands
OF the Germans"
Faced with the decision of choos-
ing between the fate of Warsaw and
that of Rotterdam, the French
have decided that they prefer the
complete destruction of the finest
art treasures in the world to any
sort of capitulation to the invaders
If the German Army wants Paris
1t will have to fight for it.
