moss and sheep manure should be

Sometimes we are tempted to burn
the weeds and rubbish that litters
our garden each spring. This may
seem the easiest way out although
it is very dangerous and destructive
of valuable composing materials.
1t may take little longer, but it is
very much safter to rake the dead
weeds, grass and plants and carry
them to the compost pile where they
will rot, thereby adding to the sup
ply of plant food.
A satisfactory frame for starting
seeds of hardy ANIMALS may be made
from l by 4 inch boards and cheese
cloth. The boards are supported on
edge by stakes driven into the
ground. Cheese cloth stretched over
the frame will protect from frost,
admit sufficient light for growth, and
protect the seedlings from dashing
rains.
BY banking the frame with dirt
chilling winds and surface washing
may be avoided.
Now that the buds are beginning
to swell on the climbing roses it is
time to unfasten the canes from the
trellis and tie them down for time,
This seems like work but it is the
only way to insure bloom from the
ground to the tips on such climbers
as doubloons, and will improve the
display on most of the others. With
the canes in more or less horizontal
plane Towering shoots will start all
along them. AS soon as the buds
are well started they may be tied
back to their supports.
A simple trap for moles may be
made from old battery jars Cor any
similar glass jar having a neck 4
or inches across and or 8 inches
deep. Put inches of water in
the bottom and then grease the
inside of the neck with beef, NUT
ton, or any other animal fat. The
jars are then buried with the top

Good Application of
Lime Neutralizes
ANY Acid Soil
Photo BY Edwin n. Perkins.

Lime as an aid to better garden
crops has been recognized for many
years. This is not because lime is
valuable as plant food but because
it neutralizes acid soil, Thereby pro-
viding healthy environment in
which many plants thrive. While
lime is not a plant food, it assists
in making certain food elements
available. In addition, it Is the di-
rect source of calcium and magne-
SUM used by many plants.
Plants like azaleas and rhodo-
dendrons suffer greatly when ex-
posed TO the effects of lime @and
others, like most irises, protest by
poor growth when insufficient lime
is present. The indication of a soils
need for lime can be ascertained,
unscientifically, by the presence of
certain weeds, like sheep sorrel,
which appear abundantly on acid
soils. An unaccountable lack OF re-
sponse to a complete fertilizer, rep
resented by 5-10-5 formula, indi-
Gates excess soil acidity. This may
have been produced by excessive use
Of stimulants like ammonium sui
fate and other acid-producing fer
tiliz rs last year.
Fortunately, correction is easy to
make. 1t is accomplished by broad
casting so pounds of ground lime
stone or 80 pounds of hydrated lime
to every 1000 square feet of surface
area to be corrected. Baking the
product into the soil is the only work
attending the process. Spring rains
or watering with the hose carry the
corrective material into the soil
where it is needed.

Perennials Are Easily
Grown From Seed
If Sown Early
IasUn grasses to grOw.

Gardeners who plan to grow per-
ennials from seed this year, and
every gardener should do so, will
have an easier time of it If they
will sow in April instead of waiting
until June or later.
When summers are hot and dry it
is often quite a task to get seeds to
serminate in June, and seeding
plants must be given extra atten-
ton at that time to keep from being
scorched to death.
In April, however, we usually have
cool, moist weather which hastens
termination and is favorable to the
young plants. Many of the per-
ennials germinate best in cool
weather. Delphiniums, for example,
grow best in a temperature Of 40
degrees.
When seeds are sown in April the
seedlings should be transplanted in
June or July so that they have room
to develop into sturdy plants. They
will be large enough by fall to be
planted in the border where they
are to grow. -.
There is no garden operation
which saves money faster than
growing ones own perennials.
When plants are purchased they are
relatively expensive because of the
long growing period, the intensive
care they have had and the large
percentage OF loss. Plants have
never been grown successfully in
large-scale operations because of
the limited area over which they
can be distributed satisfactorily and
the high cost of packing such fragile
subjects for shipment. The gar
dener who grows his own pays only
for the seed. The task Of caring
for the plants and observing their
growth is a fascinating recreation,
II he is a true garden fan.
Among the perennials with which
beginners will have little difficulty
are columbines, dianthuses, del
phiniums, gaillardias, coreopsis,
hollyhocks, pyrethrums, sweet will
llams, veronica spicata and violas.

compared with other established
varieties, or with the hundreds of
new ones which are on the market
today, is debatable matter.
A few of the crosses which may be
of interest to the iris fancier follow:
Nine. Gaudichau x Nine. Chobaut,
Hehos Baldwin, Helios Persia,
Alta California x 106-A, 1O6-A x
Robert, Helios x 1O6-A, Helios
Morning Splendor, etc. The seeding
106-A is one of the two seedlings
which I have kept. 1t is a large,
pure yellow with very light beard
and as yet with only fair branching
qualities, not in a class with many of
the new originations, but because of
its parentage think it is worth
while to work with it. It comes of
q cross from w. R. Dykes on Coro-
nation, Dykes large, wen-branched
yellow flower, somewhat rufny, and
now and then streaked or veined
with bronze; Coronation, a small
plant, flower not large, but in my
mind the purest yellow color.
This matter of striving for new
faces and forms in the plant world
by doing your own crossing, or even
hybridizing, in your own garden, is
a form of recreation in which your
patience often is tried and your
enthusiasm often checked. To ac-
quire some measure OF success one
must be ruthless; he must learn to
discern outstanding qualities in the
results of his efforts and have the
hardihood to discard that which
does not meet with authoritative
standards.
Other interesting garden material
Cleaned from a catalogue and or
dered are two of the chrysanthe-
mum. family-C Chrysanthemum cru
bescens, var. Clara Curtis, a plant
producing hundreds of single
salmon-pink, daisy-like flowers dur
ing August. This plant may be dug
In early winter, potted and will
flower in the house during February
and March. The other is one of the
cushion chrysanthemums, var. Little
Bob, a new dwarf from England,
whose double, mahogany-bronz
button-ike flowers completely cover
the plant when in bloom.
Still having abiding faith in the
catalogue. have ordered something
new in the pentstemon class. The
variety answers to the name of
Garnet and much is claimed for It,
1t is the first of q new strain of
hardy hybrids, is of . spreading
habit and flowers from June until
frost. The name implies the color
and it is said to be an excellent
cut flower, lasting for over week
when placed in water in the house.

Care for Bulbs

Now that the early spring flower
ing bulbs that came as potted
plants from a florist are through
blooming it is well to put them in
cool spot where they can be kept
growing. Give them water and
sunlight until the foliage is yellow
and beginning to dry. The bulbs
can then be stored until planting
time. Tulips, hyacinths, daffodils
and lilies of the valley can be saved
for another year. Paper white mar
cissus and Chinese lilies will not
bloom again and hence should be
discarded. The others are best
planted out Of doors next fall, for
they are not apt to do very well
again in pots.

If you are going to lime your gar
den this spring take care to keep it
away from evergreens (conifers,
rhododendrons, azaleas, andromeda
and japanese His). Hydrated. lime
will burn green foliage and, moreover,
the plants mentioned above prefer
an acid soil. Ground limestone is
not injurious to plant foliage, but
is less easily obtained than the hy-
drafted lime, Ground oyster shell
lime is reported to be as useful as the
ground limestone when 1t is as finely
