Tree Requires
An Acid Soil
For Vigor
SOurwOOd Related
To RhOdOdendrOn
And AZalea

A very distinctive tree that grows
wild from Pennsylvania to Florida
Is sorrel-tree or sourwood. This is
a deciduous tree rather closely re-
lated to azaleas and rhododendrons
and it requires the same acid soil
that these familiar landscape sub
jects need. Sourwoods are partlcu-
larly good for planting with azaleas
and other ericaceous plants because
of their similar soil requirements.
The scientific name Of this tree Is
oxydendrum arboreum.
Sourwoods reach a height OF SO
feet or more in the South, but in
the North they rarely grow 80 feet,
though they are perfectly hardy.
In bloom the trees are very lovely,
as the dropping racemes OF small
white flowers make a fine picture
against the rich green foliage. The
blooms have been nkened TO those
of lily Of the valley, but this re-
semblance is not close one,
actually. The foliage turns very
brilliant tones Of orange and red
in the autumn and at that season
sourwoods are among the most
conspicuous features in the land
scape.
Gardens featuring acid-soil plants
and gardeners fond of this interest
ing group should certainly make
more of this native tree. 1t is lovely
as feature specimen on a lawn
and also in background paintings
particularly to give azaleas and
rhododendrons the shade they
should have. Most nurserymen
grow sourwoods and some collectors
handle them and they are easily
obtained. Remember that they must
have an acid soil and acid humus
or one of the acid chemicals, such
as aluminium sulphate. may need to
be used in preparing ground for
these plants,

Try Petunias
IF You Want
Hardness
Foolproof Annual
Will Grow Well
Under Neglect
Br Edvin g.. P01peH

Petunias are about the nearest Of
foolproof ANIMALS of any OF our
popular Towering plants. They grow
well under neglect; finely if given
a sunny location in fertile, loamy
soil; but overfeeding and over
watering produce unsatisfactory re-
suits. They self-sow freely and In
many gardens it is possible to find
a nice lot of seedlings the following
year. If, however, special types or
varieties are desired it Is necessary
to procure the plants or grow them
from seed which should be soWn
about eight weeks before the plants
are to be set out.
There is a wealth OF varieties.
colors, types and sizes OF flowers
and plants from which to choose;
one scotsman lists more than 80
varieties. For ordinary garden cui-
ture the bedding petunias are the
most desirable. They grow from l 4
to 2 feet high, are extremely free
Towering. and produce a wealth OF
flowers even under the most trying
conditions Of weather and soil. They
are ideal for large beds, borders and
porch boxes, and are excellent for
cutting.
The balcony or large-fowered
petunias are best adapted for grow
ing hanging baskets and porch or
balcony boxes where their long
branches may trail or 3 feet. They
are snowy plants with flowers 2lz
to 3 inches across.
A type of dwarf petunias that
grows about l foot high has been
developed that is ideal for small
beds or borders or to grow in front
of taller kinds. These are very free
Towering and produce compact,
moundlike plants that bloom from
early summer until frost. An even
smaller type, the miniature or gem
petunias. grows only about inches
high but produces flowers nearly
2 inches across All the above are
single -fowered with plain edges and
mostly solid colors.
There are giant petuniaS, either
plain, fringed or ruf1ed, that are
breath taking in their loveliness be-
cause of their size, shape and rich
colors. There are few varieties,
both dwarf and tall. with plain
edges. The giant rufflled and giant
fringed varieties produce flowers
from 4 to inches across when prop
erly grown and are unsurpassed for
beds, borders or boxes, but are best
adapted for pot culture where they
may be protected from driving rain
storms. The fringed fellows have a
charm of their own because of their
attractively fringed or frilled
blooms and beautiful veining.
There is extraordinary beauty in
the giant double petunias that is not
found in any of the other types. AL
though the flowers which measure
4 to 5 inches across may not be
as big as some of those of the fringed
and rufhled giants their colors are
unsurpassed. They, too, need pro-
lection from driving transforms
which fill the flowers with so much
water that they cannot carry the
load. There are dwarf, peony-f1ow-
cred and aller-growing varieties.
Petunias are easily transplanted
and are very valuable as filters" to
occupy otherwise bare spots in the
garden where early flowers have
bloomed and died. They are espe-
cially useful for planting over sprin-
Towering bulbs.

Don't Divide
Too Early
Leave Some Bulbs
Until Foliage
Has Matured

1t is little too early as yet to
divide spring blooming perennials,
but you can get ready to do this
garden chore in the near future
Don't dig tulips and daffodils too
early. They may be IN the way,
and sometimes it is necessary to
move and heel them in to ripen,
but they are never as good as If left
to mature their foliage where they
are growing. II you have them in
beds or borders it is better to leave
them alone until the middle Of June
before moving. Then quick growing
ANIMALS, gladioluses or dahlias can
be planted in their places.
BY this time the bulbs are more
or less mature and have set good
rudimentary flower buds for next
year. If tulips are lifted too soon
it is doubtful if they will bloom next
year. From the time they are
through Towering until the foliage
ripens they are storing food for
next years bloom. If you break
the roots too early you are stop
ping growth. so OOn dig tnem
until you have to.
Daffodils, if not too thick, are
better left in the ground anyhow
They make their new roots early in
the fall. and there is no use digging
them out unless they are too crowd
ed. But tulips are apt to disappear
If left in garden beds, and it is
usually advisable to dig them out
each year. OF course, sometimes
on well-drained soil tulips will MAIN
tain themselves for a long while
but they dislike wet ground when
dormant, and if we have a rainy
summer they will probably decay
and disappear. Therefore it is best
to dig them as soon as the foliage
starts to yellow.

WE
the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

An appeal to come back to their
Jobs has been made to married
teachers in a southern state whose
largest city has for years let its
women teachers understand that If
they married they would be
promptly kicked out of their jobs.
Well, the state now needs those
married teachers it once treated
in such a high-minded, undemo-
cratic manner.
The teachers who can go back to
their jobs should, of course, do SO
as they are badly needed-since SO
many young, unmarried teachers
are quitting their jobs for the
higher wages paid in industry.
But before they go back to their
jobs they have a job of their own
to do while they, and not school
boards with old-fogey notions, have
the upper hand.
The job they are duty-bound to
do is to get together and say, "All
right, we'll go back to teaching
but not in any community that
isn't willing to lift for once and
all time its ruling against married
teachers"
They should refuse point blank
to go back to work in a community
that is willing to have them now,
but not when the war is over.
In the past they have been done
grave injustice. 1t is up to them
to fight the matter out now while
they are in position to stand up
for their rights.
Women didn't get what rights
they now have bv being meek and
mealy-mouthed. They fought for
what they have-and they won't
get their full rights everywhere
until they fight some more.
In this case it. won't take any
real fighting-only a firm stand:
I'VE married women will go back
to teaching-but only in communi-
ties that respect our rights as citi-
zenS of a democracy: not in any
community that reserves the ripht
to fire us whenever it wants to for
no other reason than that we have
been so bold as to MARI" and start
homes"

Funcies

HOLLYWOOD, July - For a
desperate bit of action in Casa
blanca" Humphrey Bogart and
Peter LORE were mauling and slug
ging each other A table went over
and they fell in a corner, still
snarling, straining and gouging.
The shot was being made silently,
with heavy breathing and bone
crunching impacts to be put in
later, so Bogart ad libbed through
clenched teeth: Say, that's a per-
fectly lovely hair tonic you've got
on. What's its name?" 1t broke up
the scene anyway, because LORE
collapsed and started laughing.
1t was reminiscent of the time

She does not use makeup until
