Gardeners Nook
By GARDEN CLUB EDITOR
Why do People Join Garden Clubs?

Clayton F. Palmer, California state
chairman of Nature Garden Clubs,
has stated so excellently what he
considers the reasons why people
join garden clubs that we are going
to pass his words on to you:
Human beings are social by ma
ture, and so every organization which
they form naturally takes on certain
social implications and values. Life
would be very drab were this not
true, for the social human compan-
ionship which develops between men
even in the business world does much
toward keeping them human.
"We join garden clubs for various
reasons, all more or less defensible,
with perhaps some more important
in our individual cases than others.
Perhaps we are trying, with only a
fair degree of success, to maintain
our own home grounds, and feel the
need of advice from those who we
believe can assist us. Sometimes
just talking over our common prob
lens gives us new courage and in
spirations. We see new plants whose
names we seem unable to learn
and learning the name of a strange
plant is, of course, one of the first
steps towards making its acquaint-
ance. Exchange of plants as well
as of ideas is bound to have its place
in the activities of a garden club
We take our problems to the garden
club meetings someone surely has
the right answer for EACH"
May we at the beginning of our
new year extend an invitation to
all of you who are interested in gar
dening. Even if the interest is very
slight, we guarantee that if you come
and talk over your difficulties and
problems with others you will enjoy
gardening more and more as time
goes on.
African Violets.
Here is "foolproof" recipe for
propagating African violets:
From the mother plant, remove
one or more leaves, leaving the stem
as long as possible. Cover with wax
paper a glass tumbler almost filled
with water, fastening the paper with
string tied around the top of the
glass. Punch small holes in the
paper, inserting stem of leaf through
the hole. Place the glass in south
window. Change the water once
in two weeks. Tiny white roots
then begin to form at the end of the
stem. One week later tiny green
leaves form. Remove from water and
place in 3-inch pot. Be careful to
water from the bottom of the pot,
keeping soil slightly damp. Your
plant will bloom in ten weeks from
starting
Flower Grower.
In November.
Give your callas plenty of water
and feed with bonemeal.
Sponge the foliage of house plants
with soap solution-give them top
dressing of bonemeal.
If you find white flies on your
house plants, try giving them a hot
bath. Dip them quickly, several
times in succession, in water heated

The most frequent vehicle seen
in Canada now is the army
truck. Long lines, many with

loom over the hills regularly.
Most are Of the half-ton variety,
with a sprinkling of jeeps, and
they look very business-like.

posing restrictions on motoring.
now would be the ideal time to
tour and really see the country.
Where once we sped along At 80
and 70 miles an hour. catching
only a blur of scenery and bill
boards, the present 40-mile m
hour speed laws in Canada and
most of the eastern states make
it possible to enjoy the scenery.
The 40-mile an hour law II
strictly enforced in both Canada
and New York State. The On
tario provincial police cars are
seen everywhere, watchin g
warily as the few motorists still
left on the road pass along.
In New York, the jaunty state
police, on their motorcycles and
in cars, patrol the principal high
ways. Drivers who forgetfully
press the acceierator too far are
weeded out fast. Trucks are the

Charles A. Liddle, president OF

that four Pullman companies &C
cused of violation Of the Sherman

company would sell ANY kind Of a

is ready, willing and able to buy

He said the company never had

Meters Head for Oblivion

Restrictions on driving, as well
as the ban on manufacture,
seems destined TO halt the brisk

now stand idle, as the demand
for parking space dwindles.
The decline Of this budding in
dustry Is hailed with delight by

OF the American Automobile As
ISOLATION. The AAA has fought
parking meters consistently as
q new drain on the motorist. The
suggestion that they now be
turned In for scrap to help the
