for their flowers and fruits an even
wider strip may be justified. How
ever, in most cases an effort should
be made in planning the border to
give the plants an adequate area
for growth as well as to leave
suitable area for other uses.

have that added advantage. Some,

Garden Poppies
May Be Moved
At This Time
Ne1f Years Gronvfh
Is Started After
Dormant Shell
Bv 4. e. Mclean

This is good time to transplant
ornamental poppies, now that their
Towering period is over and they are
taking their summer rest. After their
dormant spell, which lasts from late
July until early September, peren-
nial poppies begin next years
growth.
Don't try to raise poppies from
seed at this time Of the year, be-
cause the seed is very fine and must
be sown on the surface of the soil.
Even few hours in soil which is
too dry will destroy a batch of
terminated poppies in midsummer.
1t Is better to wait until late fall to
sow seed so it can germinate early
in the spring when there is an
abundance of moisture. This method
results in good plants and you can
transplant them after they die down
naturally in the summer
But, for established poppies, now is
a good time to move them. Even a
piece of root or inches long may
develop new plant. OF course. If
you leave a good size piece OF the
crown attached to the roots they
will flower more freely the following
year.
In planting poppy roots, don't
place the crown too deep in the
ground-not more than an inch or
two below the surface of the soil.
Have the roots as straight as pos
sible. They will then have an op-
portunity to make fall growth. Re-
member that poppies resent too
muca moisture over the winter, so
place a little mound of sandy soil
over the crown SO that there is no
depression formed. This small
mound provides the best drainage.
Excess moisture due to poor drain
age causes rotting OF the crowns.
Otherwise poppies are perfectly
hardy and about as immune from
disease as any known ornamental
plant.
Now is also a good time to pur-
chase new stock OF improved varle-
ties OF ornamental poppies. Plant
these as soon as they arrive, for In
September they will make the fall
growth necessary for first-class
bloom next spring AS they are dor
mant now, these plants can be ham
died just as easily as any Of the
bulbs.

cause of the fact that camellias may
have flowers of different appearance
on one plant, the names Of the
varieties are not definitely fixed.
One variety may have as many as
five different trade names.
Diluted niscible-oil sprays are
suggested for several kinds OF scale
insects that may infest the plants.

with good drainage. The plants
should be raised l to 11a inches
above the surrounding soil.
White camellias prefer partial
shade, but they will grow in dense
shade if it does not come down toe
low.
Two-year-old plants are the best
age to start; the plants are strong
but the root structure is not so in
volved that it is shocked at being
moved. At this age plant them on
the south side of house or other
structure SO that the warmth OF
the foundation of a building is be-
hind them during the winter.
The early part of the fall is the
best time to set out camellias, but
with reasonable amount of care it
can be done at any time. 1t is wiser
to select plant having no buds,
and if the plant is in good condition
it is not necessary to prune it.
Without undoing the burlap cover
ing, set the plant in hole four
or five times larger than the ball of
earth in which the shrub is packed.
Fill in the soil for 2 or. 3 inches
around the plant and then remove
the cloth covering or else loosen it
we'll so that it will not bind the
roots. Good watering will exclude all
air, and it should not be allowed to
become dry until we'll established.
A mulch of strawy manure or pine
straw will help to keep the plant
cool, although peat moss Is not re-
quired.
If the plant is a strong one, two
buds side by side on each shoot
may be left; otherwise, only one.
Retain the growth around the bud,
for it is the new growth for next
year The wood should not be
picked. For the good of the plant,
the flowers should be picked of and
wired as they are In Europe.
Draught may cause the buds to
drop off, especially the second buds,
after a late frost has killed the first
growth. Second-growth buds are
not as satisfactory as the first.
Whenever camellia buds will not
open, it is usually because the variety
is one not suitable for out-of door
growing.
The walled gardens that are typi-
cal of this area are best of all for
this tropical plant, as the air within
the inclosure stays at a more even
temperature. In the winter the sun
on the south pours down on the
plants, and in the summer, when it
becomes too hot. the house will
shade them sufficiently. as the sun
will have moved further north. The
help Of nearby tree or tall shrub
to give some shade will keep the
leaves from scalding and losing their
deep waxy brilliance, which is as
much part of the plants charm as
its snowy flowers.
Plants should be mulched In the
winter and protected from cold
winds by light wood frame COW
cred with double layer Of burlap.
Straw tucked in closely around the
lower branches will prevent the
freezing weather from penetrating.
Every attention for the first year. so
that the plant becomes acclimated,
will be rewarded by increasing
growth and number of blossoms
with each succeeding year.
