still, drop in and ask your lamp dealer to help
you choose the right size G-E MAZDA lamps.

Queer Names for John Smith

~ ALL the earth's families
I probably there is none
~ more numerous than that
named Smith, and Of all the
Smiths in the world it seems
that at least so per cent have
been christened John. If the
name was not so common we
should probably admire it and
see 1t through glamour, as we do
many other names that are not
half as solid and substantial.
AS it is. plain John Smith is
not very. high sounding-it does
not suggest aristocracy. 1t is not
the name of any hero in thrilling
novels. yet it is good and honest.
Transferred to other languages
it seems to climb the ladder of
respectability.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Peter Rabbit had left the low,
swampy place where grew the moss
covered trees, and on high ground
was soon among a lot of young
hemlock trees. These had no moss
on them. From one of them a little
black and gray bird with a yellow
cap, yellow sides and yellow patch
at the root of his tail, fitted across
in front of Peter. 1t was Fidget the
Myrtle Warbler, one of the two
friends he had been looking for
down among the moss-covered trees.
"Oh, Fidget!" cried Peter, hurry
ing after the restless little bird.
"Oh, Fidget, I've been looking
everywhere for you"
We'll, here I am" retorted Fidget.
IF you had looked here before you
would have found me before. What
can I do for you?" All the time
Fidget was hopping and fitting
about, never still an instant.
you can tell me where your nest
is," replied Peter promptly.
IT can, but I won't" retorted
Fidget. Now honestly. Peter. do
you think you have any right to
ask such a question:"
Peter hung his head, then replied
quite honestly: mo, I don't, Fidget.
But you see. Sprite, the Pareula
Warbler, told me you had a nest
not far away, and I've been looking
at punches of moss until I've got a
lame neck"
"Bunches of moss!" exclaimed
Fidget. What under the sun do
you think have to do with punches
of moss?"
"Why-why-why-I Just thought
you probably had your nest in one,
the same as your cousin Sprite"
Fidget laughed right out. Moss
may suit my cousin Sprite, but it
doesn't suit me at all" he said. II
build my nest of tWigs and grass
and weed stalks and hair and root
lets and feathers, and If you really
want to know, I like a little hem
lock tree to put it in, just like my
cousin Weechi. BY the way, have
you seen him this SPRING."
No" replied Peter. rs he any
where around here?"
Right here" replied another
voice, and Weechi, the Magnolia
Warbler, dropped down on the
ground for just second right in
front of Peter.
The top of his head and the back
Of his neck were gray. Above each
eve was a white stripe and his
cheeks were black. His throat was
clear yellow. with a black band just
below. From this black streaks ran
down across his yellow breast At
the root of his tail he was yellow.
His tail was mostly black on top
and white underneath. His wings
were black and gray with two
white bars. He was a little smaller
than Fidget and quite as restless.
Fidget and Weechi at once began
to discuss their nests and the proper
way of building them. Peter. be-
ing more interested IN seeing those
nests than hearing about them,
finally stole away to look for them,
but though he looked and looked,
he didn't find either.

done the season is not so important.
This brings us to another point
that has been widely discussed
among gardeners for long time.
How much difference does it make
whether the trees are planted In q
well-prepared hole or just stuck"
into the ground? OF course, there
is an old adage that ut is better to
put q 10-cent tree into q $40 hole
than it is to put a SO tree in
10-cent hole" The experiments
fully substantiated the adage. Trees
planted carefully not only have a
greater chance Of living but they
make stronger growth the sec
ond year. 1t was interesting to note
that outside of death losses there
was very little difference in the
growth of the trees planted In the
various ways the first year.
The check method, described as
Carefully planted" consisted of
digging a roomy hole, loosening the
soil in the bottom, the spreading of
the roots and working the soil
around them and the tamping of
the soil with the feet. This method
produced better results with lower
death losses among both the spring
and fall planted trees.
Usually when we set out young
trees we give them more or less Sc
we're pruning. In fact, some people
prune them back to nothing more
than a whip (even though they
thought they were buying 8 to 10 foot
trees. These experiments clearly
indicate that trees should be pruned
at the time of transplanting. How
ever, they showed that pruning
back to few twigs at the top (re-
moving all side branches) is not
the best method. Trees that were
thinned, that is, some of the branch
es were removed at the top as well
as along the trunk, made the bet
ter growth and had the lowest NOR
tality. Trees that had all of the
lower branches removed, leaving
feather duster at the top, had the
next lowest death loss, but they
did not make as strong growth as
those having a more general dis
tribution of the branches. Those
that were unpruned, of course, had
the highest losses and did not make
a strong growth until the second or
third year.
In conclusion, may I point out
that the above results do not change
to any great degree the best rec
commended practices? In short, they
fully substantiate the practices fol-
lowed by careful ga deners for many
years. In the above experiments
oak trees were used. Oaks are gen.
orally thought to transplant safely
either in the spring or in the fail
in this area.

will give him the necessary ma
terial. Here are some Of the plants
that will furnish play material and
the use TO which they are put:
Have clump of pansies or violets
If the petals are pulled away, the
stamens and pistil look like "the
old man with his feet in the foot
bath" The spur of the flower forms
the bath. The stamens form the
blanket around the old mans
shoulders.
If two violets are hooked together
by their spurs they may be used in
wishing games. When the stems are
pulled. one of them will break. The
player holding the unbroken violet
is the winner.
Hollyhocks-Who does not remem-
Der the lifelike dolls made from
hollyhock blooms?
Snapdragons-1f you squeeze the
flower sideways between your thumb
and finger. you will get the effect
OF dragon opening and closing its
mouth.
A clump Of snowy stonecrop
(Sedum spectabile) will give hours
of fun. If the leaf is sucked until
the upper and lower epidermis are
separated. it can be puffed in and
out like the skin of frogs throat.
Did you ever slip" willow bark
in the spring and make whistles?
A small willow tree in the child's
garden will provide a great deal of
fun Though when proficiency in
whistle-making is reached you will
probably want to stuff your ears
with cotton).
Yes, time spent with your children
in developing their love of gardening
Is going to be time you will never
count wasted. 1t intensifies their
love OF the outdoors. 1t gives them
active physical labor in the open
air. 1t gives them a satisfying
sense OF achievement and owner
ship. 1t develops responsibility and
love of beauty.
BY the time you have read this
far, you'll know that if I could I'd
give every child a garden plot of
his own and I'll wager if it could
only be a realty, the coming genera
ton would be much better citizens,

Plan Outdoor
Living Room
For Family
Arrange Space for
AL Fresco Meals
Or Barbecue
Photo by Edwin II. Perkins.

Soon Mr. and Mrs. America and
all their progency are going to be-
gin the exodus out of doors. I
guess it's the pioneer strain still
cropping out in all of us that ex-
plains the call the outdoors holds
for us as a nation.
You need not go far afield to satisfy
this urge for outdoor living-not If
you are a. sensible gardener who
makes provision in his landscape and
gardening plans for a comfortable
outdoor living room and play space.
Get the family busy building an
outdoor barbecue. If space makes
this impracticable, have a special
nook that is reserved for outdoor
meals, in a location that isn't so
far from the center of preparation
that trudging back and forth with
dishes and food becomes not fun,
but drudgery.
Provide comfortable chairs,
hammock, a grass tennis or bad
minton court.
But for utmost enjoyment of your
outdoor living area, this you must
do-make sure that your paintings
of trees, shrubs, flowers and lawns
make a vigorous healthy growth.
Extensive experiments have proved
that lawns should be fed early in
the year--even before the frost is
out Of the ground. Naturally the
right time varies somewhat with
the locality, but it will range from
February Is to the middle of March.
When plant food is applied at this
time-that Is, before the grass starts
to grow-there is no need to water
it in. One big advantage through
early application of plant food and
one ordinarily overlooked Is the fact
that 1t gives the grass a head start
on the weeds and in that way practi-
cally assures weedless lawn.

Let them make their own choice
as to what they will plant and how
they will arrange 1t. But if you are
asked for advice, suppose you use
your influence toward a choice of
such easy material as marigolds, mas
turtiums (but here you will have to
caution the small gardener that if
he wants nasturtiums it will have to
be at the price of eternal vigilance
for aphids, with prompt action with
the spray gun should they appear i,
cornfiowers; and in the vegetable
division, lettuce, radishes, perhaps
some of the small red and yellow
pear-shaped tomatoes in other
words, crops that won't result in
disappointment for the young gar
dening enthusiast.
At first enthusiasm will run so
high that the child will want to
undertake too large a garden. Don't
let him make this mistake. Insist
on a small area which can be we'll
tended with only very small out
lay Of time, and thus will not be-
come burden to him, but a con-
tinued source of pleasure and pride
After the momentouS question of
what to plant is decided and seed
and plants are provided, show the
small gardener how to properly pre-
pare the seed bed, how to in
corporate complete balanced plant
food, and the proper way to seed
and transplant.
After the crops are growing, ex-
plain how necessary it is to keep
the surface cultivated, why weeds
are injurious, the necessity for feed
ing the growing plants. Show him
the correct method of application
of plant food, and encourage him
to feed half of the area and leave
the other half unfed, so that he can
see with his own eyes that plants
must be properly nouriShed for best
results-that it is not difficult or
costly to accomplish this with the
aid of modern science.
To heighten the child's pleasure
from garden, tell him about some
of the old flower games we used to
play in our grandmothers' gardens.
