tender primroSes and cinerar1as,
however, are difficult to handle and
so most gardeners treat them as

Early Lawn Growth
Caused by Feeding
DESTROYS Weeds

Gardeners used to think that
nothing but laborious digging would
eradicate weeds from the lawn. But
we know now that early feeding of
the lawn is great aid in eradicat-
ing weeds.
OF course, this early feeding does
not directly kill the weeds. But it
does do this: Through supplying
nourishment to the grass roots, it.
enables the grass to make such a,
dense, early, vigorous growth that
weeds are choked out.
Grass makes its best growth in
early spring, when the weather is,
cool and there Is plenty of moisture
in the soil. Weeds do not start into
growth until later, when the soil
has become thoroughly warm, and
higher temperatures prevail.
Not only is this early application
beneficial from the standpoint of
combating weeds, but it is less la
borious for the gardener; when food
is applied to lawns before any top
growth is made, it is not necessary
to water the plant food in. Late
SHOWS and early spring rains take
care of this part OF the job, and
carry the plant food down to the
roots where it Is ready to be utilized
just ss promptly rs the grass stasts
growth. ;sE ~ a

Many Small Tasks
Are Required for
Flower Garden

There are dozens of small tasks
requiring a few minutes OF time IN
the flower garden at this season.
Remove some of the young shoots
from your favorite delphiniums and
plant them in a mixture of one half
sand and one half soil in small pots.
Keep them at so degree tempera-
ture and many will root and be
ready for planting outdoors In the
hardy border in May.
Many of the most popular an
nuals such as aSter, zinnia, mari
gold, cosmos, saliva, snap dragon,
verbena, stock, scabiosa, Phlox
drummondi and ageratum may now
be started inside.
Transplant all deciduous shrubs
while they are dormant. Replace
any roses which have been winter
killed as soon as the ground can
be worked. Wait until the begin
ming of the growing season to
transplant evergreens.
Carefully inspect the rock gar
den; reset any plants which have
been heaved out OF the ground by
frost. Prune off and burn any
winter killed foliage. Remove win
ter covering gradually, and top
dress the garden with a thin layer
of good soil mixed with about one
third leaf mold. Any of the Alpine
plants should be given top dress
ing of fine stone chips and soil.
Complete pruning of deciduous
woody plants and shrubs now, but
delay evergreen pruning until just
before growth starts.
Set out new pansy plants. They
will flower continuously if the bios
SONS are regularly picked.
Remove all dead wood from
Towering vines, and thin out those
which have made too heavy q

the bulbs may be repotteds watered
and brought into light.
The rambler and polyantha roses
are easily grown out-of-doors, and
except for mildew on the ramblers
they are Just as useful as the roses
we buy from the nurseries for gar
den use. Give them sunny situ-
alton and plant in well-enriched soil.
The azaleas and hydrangeas like
a moister situation than the roses
and need some shade-hydrangeas
will grow on the north side of the
house. The azaleas will grow in full
sun but do much better in partial
shade. Both need lots of leafmold
or peat moss in the soil.
The spring-howering bulbs may
be left in the pots, which should be
buried in the garden until the bulbs
mature. After the leaves are dry
remove them and store in a cool
airy place until planting time next
fall.
The moving of plants from house
to the garden should not be accom-
panied by too great change in
temperature. If feasible, make the
change gradually-to an nheated
but protected porch or the garage.
This helps to temper the change.
Cut flowers, too, may be made to
last longer than usual with proper
care and attention. The roses that
reach you as tightly packed, firm
buds should open slowly to glorious
full bloom. When you first receive
them plunge the stems into cold
water right up to the base of the
bud and let them stand III cool
place, out of draughtS for an hour
or so. Then arrange them in vases
as you wish, being sure that there is
plenty of water in the containers.
Keep them at an even tempera-
ture, changing the water each day
and cutting small, diagonal slice
from the stems. Escaping gas and
overheated rooms are bad for them.
If they are in room where the
window is to be opened at night
they should be removed until morn
ing. w. Il. Y.

Plants Grow
Well Here
Two Hardy Shrubs
Are Interesting
And Colorful

One OF our older shrubs and one Of
the earliest to bloom of all shrubs
hardy IN our climate is winter
jasmine, listed IN books and cata-
logueS as Jasminum nudiforum.
This is the only jasmine at all
hardy in the central part Of the
United States, but it is not reliably
hardy north Of New Jersey. Winter
jasmine is often seen in old door,
yards, for it has been grown for a
long time. 1t can be used as a
climber, but it is not a true climber
Sometimes the plant is confused
with forsytfia, but it invariably
blooms two or three weeks earlier.
Winter jasmine needs a little
pruning after blooming in the spring
to keep it in shape, and with this
small amount Of attention this dis
tinctive shrub makes a handsome
feature, particularly in protected
places along the south or east side
of the house.
Jasminum nudihorum Is not par.
ticular as to soil, except that it be
well drained. The shrub will gener-
ally succeed with the same care
given to other shrubs But be care
full not to place 1t in an exposed
position, for it is none too hardy and
in a severe winter often kills back
somewhat. In an ordinary winter
blooms profusely in the spring
Most nurserymen offer winter jas
mine or can get 1t for you. If 6
| neighbor has one, you may be able
to get few cuttings from him. The
plant roots quite easily from
cuttings.
Another familiar shrub which
always creates much interest /:
Grape myrtle, or Lagerstroemia
This one came originally from China
1t is hardy around Washington anc
farther south, and it can be growr
as far north as New Jersey pro.
vided the roots are well protected.
Tops Of crape-myrtles grown gen.
orally winter-kill farther north, but
young shoots come up from the root:
and make new growth which blooms
profusely in late summer and early
fall. Colors of the blooms range
from white to lavender pink, purple
and reddish purple.

Successful Garden
Depends on Good
ARRANGEMENT
Bv Lasprence and Edna Blair

Dv LOZR'TSUCS ana EdUU OtUT
When all soil and drainage condi-
HonS are taken care of, the success
of the garden depends on its plan
ming and arrangement, as well as on
constant care.
In a large garden where the
wheel-hoe, tractor, or horSe-drawn
cultivator is used the rows should
extend the long way of the plot to
avoid wasting time by making I'M
necessary turns. In a small home
garden the rows may run either way,
but it is much more advisable to have
them run north and south whenever
possible, in order that the crops may
receive an even distribution of SUM-
light.
The talleSt growing vegetables,
such as the sweet corn and pole beans
should be planted on the north side
of the garden, and the others ac-
eording to the height of their
growth, leaving the shortest growing
crops on the southern end. In this
way no shadows will be cast on the
bw-growing crops. When it is neces-
sary to plant on a slope, run the
rows around, not up and down it,
and cultivate in the same direction.
This prevents soil erosion and also
loss of too much moisture through
rapid drainage.
All the perennial crops, such as
rhubarb and asparagus, should be
grouped together and planted on one
side or end of the garden, where they
need not be disturbed and where
they will not interfere with other
crops. If this location can be near
the tool shed, the water supply and
the house or work shed, it is also an
ideal place for the hot bed or cold
frame.

Beauty and
Practically
InGarden
May Be Combined
For Creation of
Novel Effect

Beauty and practically may go
hand in hand IN your garden this
spring to give you food for your
table at the same time that you
make neat borders for your flowers
and an attractive screen between
you and the garden next door.
When you start exploring the
vegetable field to find out which
plants have decorative as well as
food value there will be an entirely
different effect created in your gar
den. In New England pumpkins
are trained over stone walls. From
Europe comes the idea of planting
fruit trees against wall and
pruning them close for interesting
pattern as well as finer fruit. We
stake and frame dahlias to support
their weight against the weather.
Tomato plants treated the same
way will give a backdrop Of green
for your flowers and lush red and
green fruit for a pickle relish and
a summer salad.
Lay out a garden plan that will
include edible vegetable for the
framework and plant flowers against
these for color. First, to form a
screen between your property and
the next train pole beans on a wire
fence If you fuss over them a
bit you may control them so that
they will form horizontal or d.
agonal. bands of green along the
fence
Plant in front of these old stand
bys your favorite ANIMALS which
will give you bright color and cut
ting flowers all summer. Then edge
your planting beds with borders of
parsley, carrots or lettuce. The
round, fat pom-poms of lettuce
leaves are most attractive and may
be planted thick enough SO nhat
pulling for the salad bowl will not
be noticed. Carrot tops are a
lovely frilly edging and tiny new
carrots scrubbed, raw and chilled,
are wonderful in the salad bowl
or an asset to the radish tray.
If you need shade in a far corner
of the garden or over the rear porch
plant a grapevine. There are many
varieties that flourish here and
they are such nice, comfortable
things when the days are warm
and cool spot of shade is in order.
There Is a nice balance of beauty
and home economy in this type of
garden. In a small space it is ideal
in that it offers a quiet, cool and
green spot for relaxation, it keeps
a certain amount of beauty which
is necessary to every one-and a.
wise amount of practically which
will give your family fresh vitamin-
full food during the summer season.

Protected Borders

The safest way to uncover beds
and borders, which have been pro-
tected by straw, hay or similar ma
terial throughout the winter, is to
take it off little at a time as soon
as the heavy frost has left the
ground. Frequently one or two nights
of freezing weather come late in the
spring and a little protection will be
helpful then. 1t always pays to
have a small amount of hay or straw
ready to throw over plants, which
are just starting through the ground,
sif period of cold weather is threat
ened. Naturally, young shoots, Just
starting into growth are tender.
