flowers. The newer dwarf hybrids,
which are crosses of Kniphofla rufa
and nelsoni, and some other dwarf
species start blooming in midSurrl-
mer. They produce snowy spikes
of bright scarlet and yellow blooms.
Some of them 60 nearly to white.
These can be grown from seed,
but it is much better to spend
little more and buy some of the Sc
lected varieties, for they are very
variable from seed. Some may be
of poor color and have loose spikes
of bloom, while the newer named
varieties have dense spikes and
snowy colors
Most of these newer varieties are
quite hardy and will winter salts

Now is q good time to do some
thing about pruning. This tradi-
tional winter gardening work may
be done any time that the weather
Is good and the temperature above
freezing.
In pruning most shrubs be careful
not to give them "bobbed hair"
treatment-that is. cutting them
back to an even geometrical figure
like a hedge. This destroys many
Of the flower buds on the shrubs
which bloom early in the season. as
these are generally on the outer
branches. Simply thin out where
growth is too thick and remove the
unnecessary old wood close to the
surface OF the soil.
The best time to prune the early
Towering shrubs is as soon as they
are through blooming-in June, per-
haps-but If this has been neglected,
you can thin them out at this time
of the year with good results. If
you want to thin them out and pre-
vent them from getting too tall,
however. wait until after they have
finished blooming. This applies to
shrubs blooming before the early
part Of June. The kinds that bloom
from June on through the season
generally produce flowers on new
growth made in the spring and can
be cut back severely. This applies
to such things as most of the hy-
drangeas Except the Hortensia or
Florists Hydrangeas which blooms
from buds set the summer before)
Hibiscus, Buddleias. Chaste-tree, and
most of the shrubs that are late
boomers. These generally do better
from rather severe pruning. In fact,
for the very largest heads Of bloom,
cut back almost to the surface of
the soil and then when the shoots
start, thin them out so there are
not too many of them. Buddleias
generally require this treatment
anyway because they kill back
severely.
In pruning climbing roses remove
most of the old wood-though this
depends somewhat on the type of
rose that you are dealing with.
Rambler roses make new canes each
year. which bear the best blooms
much as blackberries do. Here you
simply remove all the old wood and
leave only four or five good, strong
canes which can be cut back to the
height Of your trellis. These canes
produce bloom from shoots that
start from lateral buds. In most of
the large Towering climbers RAM
pant growth will not be produced
unless you cut back some of the
old woodruff leave enough young
canes to produce sufficient bloom.
Remember that each bud or eve will
produce shoot of bloom, and If
too many canes are left you won t
get the best flowers.
Four or five strong canes, 8 to
feet long, and we'll distributed
over the trellis will generally be
sufficient to produce a good show.
II grown on q stake or pillar, three
or four canes are enough. With
Hybrid Tea Roses. both climbing and
bush types, it is generally better to
do necessary pruning later.

Early Feeding
Important
TOGrass
Assures Adequate
Amount Needed
By the Roots
II you want a good lawn, earl!

II you want a good lawn, early
feeding is important.
BY early feeding. we mean the
period when the grass is still dor
mant and before 1t has made any
top growth.
Early feeding is so important be-
cause it assures to the grass roots
a supply Of available plant food at
the time the turf grasses begin active
growth in March or early April.
This Is the period when grass Is
making its principal root develop
ment for the year-and a healthy,
extensive root system, believe Us,
Is essential for a good lawn that
retains a favorable appearance all
during the growing season.
Likewise, 1t is essential that a
complete balanced plant food be
used. If an unbalanced plant food,
containing large amounts Of nitro
gen, is used on the lawn in the
spring, top growth is stimulated at
the expense OF rOOt oeVelOpment.
Where a complete balanced plant
food is used, containing all of the
IL essential elements, you may be
sure that the grass will develop
properly, with both root and top
making the proper amount of
growth.
AS stated above. this early feed
ing should be made while the grass
is still dormant-before it has made
any top growth. At that time it
is not necessary to water the plant
food in, which represents a saving
on water bills and labor.
Order that plant food and apply
1t now. This early feeding will re-
suit in thick, healthy, weed-free
turf-a turf that will green up
considerably earlier than unfed turf
often as much as three weeks
earlier.

and sufficient slope to the glass. The
standard by 6 sash should slope
6 inches and best results are usually
obtained by a southern exposure
Protection by hedges, fence or build
ings on the north and west Is also
helpful.
AS the object Of using cold frames
Is to maintain more uniform tenn
peratures somewhat above the nor
NAL in spring. and not the produc-
ton Of high temperatures, care must
be exercised in ventilating the
frames In the day time, especially
on sunny days. Probably more trou-
BILE results from improper ventila-
ton Of the frames than from any
other cause. When the sun is shin
ing in freezing weather the care
of cold frame becomes a chore
indeed, but If watched, the results
more than justify the care. A
notched stick helps in adjusting the
opening, using the notch which
gives small or wide space as is de-
sired. Another method is to slide
the sash down enough to give the
desired opening. On mild days and
when the seedlings are nearly large
enough to set out, more ventilation
can be given. until the sash can be
left of entirely except on the coolest
nights.
Watering Of frames Is best done
In the morning. so as to allow the
plants and the top Of the soil to dry
before night, as this tends to check
the fungus causing "damping of, .
a trouble which kills many seedlings
The soil for the cold frame should
be of a light, fine, porous nature
This means that in most cases much
sand and leafmold (or other organic
matter, not manure) will need to be
added to the soil in the frame, and
thoroughly worked in.
Seed should be sown thinly ir
rows, and covered only to the depth
of the diameter of the seed. Very
fine seeds are not covered, but only
pressed into the surface. After
termination, some thinning will uS-
ually be necessary in order that
each seeding may have room to
develop properly. Light civilizations
at regular intervals will keep the
soil from crusting. and hand weed
ing should be done just as soon as
the weeds can be distinguished from
the good plants.
One frame, 3 by 6, is sufficient to
produce all the early plants the
ordinary family garden would use
and then some; little foresight ir
planning will enable the owner OF
a frame to produce some plants fol
his friends also, and during the re-
mainder Of the year many uses can
be found for it.
