of the weed roots. If the soil lacks
organic matter, spread topsoil and
peat or humus over the rough
ground. Then level and roll and
rake to finished grade ready for
seeding. If you put manure on to
add organic matter, put it on before
spading and turn it under.
Water the leveled ground regu-
larly for week to bring up any
weeds left in the soil or brought in
with topsoil. About August 20 rake
them out. Don't rake over two inches
deep as you may bring new weed seed
to the top.
Sow six pounds of clean seed per
1000 square feet and lightly rake in.
Don't roll after seeding. There'll be
less surface crusting.
The seed terminates quickly if
there's any moisture; it's up to you
to supply the moisture. And your
grass will become well rooted and
be ready for heavy growth during
the cool weather of the fall. Seed
sown later, after the cool weather
comes, is slow in terminating and
may not get well enough established
to stand the heaving action next
spring.

It is tenacious of life and will seed
itself, year after year if given half

eran wild flower lover, "leave it in
the woods when you find it grow
ing, and sow seed in your garden,
for you will get great pleasure from
watching the graceful red blossoms
nodding in the breeze amidst the
delicate green foliage" He might

more pleasure can be derived by
watching this truly wonderful little

Flower Shows to Go On War OF
No War.

Apparently flower, fruit and vege-
table shows are not to be abandoned
in this country this year because of
the war. There has been some talk
that the shows might be put over a
year or so, but sentiment is strong
among club leaders and editors for
continuance, and dates for annual
exhibits are being announced with
assurance that the usual programs
will be carried out. H. w. Hochbaum,
chief of the division of field coord-
ination of the U. S. D. A., says: 'It
would be mistake for the garden
clubs to give up their shows. Surely
they can make them a combination
Victory Garden and flower show"
England has set us an impressive
example in this respect, for it is not
only continuing all such shows but
is even organizing new ones.
The wild columbine, often called
the wild honeysuckle, is one of the
most attractive of native plants and
therefore one of the most popular.
