The term bulb" is often misused.
A true bulb is one in which the
bud or flower is completely inclosed
by fleshy layers. The onion, hya-
cinth and tulip are typical, with
tight layers surrounding the embryo
bulb. The lily bulb has more or
less loose scales or layers and is a
true bulb. Crocus and gladiolus
corms are often spoken of as bulbs,
although they are not true bulbs.
Corms are not made up of layers
but are solid. Dahlia tubers are not
bulbs, neither are the rhizomes of
iris.
Burn dahia stalks if you have
been troubled with the borer. And,
of course, this goes for dead
branches from borer-infested trees
and lilacs.
1t sometimes becomes necessary
to rework the perennial border. One
may expedite this job by digging
existing perennials and setting
them to one side. Dig them with
a ball of soil and place on piece
of burlap or canvas: cover with
burlap and moisten. They will keep
safely and you may work unham-
pered.
In moving sprawling shrubs or
those with long branches one may
make the task easier and more
pleasant by wrapping a piece OF
burlap around them. This will hold
the branches up out of the way and
in the case of thorny plants give a
measure of protection.
It isn't necessary to wait until we
have had a killing frost to remove
the foliage and tops of our peren-
malls. In the vast majority of cases
they should be cut back as soon as
the leaves wither.
Dahlias should have their tops
cut of as soon as they are killed by
frost. The digging of the tubers,
however, may be well deferred until
a more convenient time. Some OF
our local gardeners make no at
tempt to dig until week or more
afterward.
One may wait until spring to lift
and divide such plants as the hardy
phlox and Shasta daisies. How
ever, 1t is really more convenient
20 lift them now, reworking the soil
and adding humus and plant food
in quantity. A little ground lime
stone may be used, although where
one adds bone meal this is not nec-
essary. The essential thing is to
add humus and plant food in guam
tity if you want strong, free-flow-
ering plants for next summer.
Chrysanthemums have been max
ing fine growth of late and are
beginning to show color. Better
stake them up before those large
flower heads are knocked into the
dirt by wind and rain.
Newspapers and baskets may be
used to protect cherished ANIMALS
on a frosty night. Be sure that the
papers completely inclose the plant
and reach down to the ground
otherwise they will not retain the
heat from the soil and prevent frost
injury.

Bulb Planting

There are just one or two things
that you want to remember in
planting bulbs. One is to get them
set into the soil solidly. In other
words, don't just drop them into
the soil bed, since the soil is apt to
shrink away from them and leave
the roots more or less exposed.

adding such plants to your own

Put the leaves in a compost pile.
With the shortage of peat moss, it
is most important to have your own
compost pile and deposit all leaves
and weeds in it where they may rot
and be turned back into the soil to
enrich it as we'll as to improve the
texture. Place layer of leaves and a
layer of soil with lime, superphos-

aid rapid decomposition. You will
then have a material that contains
