Flavor of Herbs Makes Ordinary
Vegetables Fit For Royalty
BY Edith NJ. Barber.

l am not a farmer myself, not
even an amateur, but I thoroughly
enjoy visiting my friends in the
country who this year, more than
ever, are planting and cultivating to
the nth degree. Some of them
have had years of experience and
point with pride to new strains of
potatoes which will be free from the
usual diseases which attack this
vegetable, and to special varieties
OF spinach and tomatoes. They are
planning food preservation pro-
grams which. will carry them
through the winter. Many of them
are growing all sorts of herbs which
they use in fresh form now and
dry for later use.
A week or two ago, I spent day
with Helen Morgenthau Fox on her
farm near Peekskill, N. Y. Mrs. Fox
cannot be called an amateur of
course, as she has devoted manv
years to producing successfully a
great variety of vegetables and
herbs. Some of the vegetables are
what she calls forgotten products"
many of which she has found deli
clous when properly cooked. In her
new book Gardening for Good
Eating" published by Macmillan,
she takes you from the preparation
OF the soil for gardening through
planting. sowing, cultivating. to the
preparation of the products for the
table. 1t is wonderful to have all
this material in one volume, and to
find it so attractively written and
interspersed with notes in regard
to the history of various products
from the Cave Age down, or should
I say, up?
We did not neglect inspection of
the herb garden which is famous,
as all those who have read Mrs.

Gardeners who are anxious to
start strawberry bed as soon as
possible should locate nursery
that has potted plants for sale. The
use of potted plants, which cost
quite bit more than dormant
ones, is desirable in that it will save
a whole season. Prepare the soil in

erS appear in July and the foliage Is
grayish green.
The wavyleaf plaintainlily, H.
undulata, is considered by many as
the best of those with variegated
foliage. The waves of the wavyleaf
are splotched with white rather
than margined as was the variety
of the narrow-leaf and are more or
less reff1ed. The wavyleaf grows to
a height of 10 inches and has blue
flowers.
The above list includes the species
most commonly planted. 1t should
be pointed out that there is con-
siderable confusion in the naming
of the plantainliles and species
may be listed under several names.
For instance, the fragrant plantain-
lily may be listed as the August
lily, big plantainlily, as H. sub
cordata, H. grandifora, as well as
by the accepted H. plantaginea or
H. plantaginea grandidora
Perhaps one reason for this con-
fusion in Technology is that most
people divide their plantainlilies and
share them with their neighbours
They are quite easy to divide and
that is the common method of
propagation although they may be
grown from seed. Division in the
early spring is recommended, but
here again the plants are tolerant
and are often divided in the early
fall.
AS indicated above the plantain-
lilies do best in rich soil, one that
is retentiye of moisture. This should
emphasize the Importance of mixing
we'll rotted COW manure and compost
into the bed where they are to be
planted. This is especially important
where they are planted close to the
foundation-a situation where they
appear to advantage but one in
which there is usually not enough
moisture for vigor and freedom of
flower. Though they like a moist
soil they will not thrive in a bog.
Plantainlilies do best in partial
shade, but can be depended upon to
grow in rather heavy shade or in
full sun. Many gardeners plant
them among their ferns to give
variation in foliage as well as to
provide bloom.
Occasionally the plantainllly may
be attacked by crown rot. Where
this occurs the plant should be
pulled and burned and the soil
treated with corrosive sublimate So
luton I to | O00
The above statements may appear
to give this plant group a rather
strong Endorsement but when one
stops to analyze them they appear
to have more desirable characteris-
tics than almost any other shade
loving perennial. The glossy foliage
is fully as attractive as that of any
other plant, and certainly their
blooming season is distinctive, while
their flowers are large enough to be
snowy. Their comparative freedom
from insects and diseases makes
them of first Importance to the
home gardener.

Europe Seems 10 Have Edge
In Wheat Crop Prospects

OTTAWA, July "A canadian
Press The Old World appears to
have the edge in wheat production
prospects this year, the Dominion
Bureau. of Statistics says In its
monthly review Of the wheat situa-
ton.
Latest advices from Europe con-
firm earlier reports that this years
bread grain crops are the largest
since the war began. while in Cam
ada and the United States the pros
poets are sharply reduced from the
banner year. of 1912" the bureau
said.
But it said the better crop pros
poets in the Old World should be
qualified by the statement that in
many countries the larders were
almost empty, while in North Amer
lea the smaller 1913 crops were
backed up by the largest combined
carryover of old wheat in the his
tory Of Canada and the United
States.
Official carryover figures have
not yet been published, but the lat
est calculation would indicate that
the two countries between them
have something approaching 1885,
100000 bushels OF old crop wheat on

Plantainlilies Thrive in Shade

Among the few summer Towering
perennials that enjoy shady situa-
tions the plantainlilies, or botani-
cally speaking, Hosta formerly
Funkia), are of outstanding value.
Their excellent foliage and snowy
flowers make them of more than
casual interest to the home gardener,
while their relative freedom from
insects and diseases gives them even
greater value.
All too often we hear people say
that they cannot have flowers in
their yards because of the shade.
Presumably the only reason for such
a remark is that they do not know
OF the plantainlilies, or. perhaps,
that they are not willing to take the
time and effort necessary to prop
erly prepare a suitable bed for them.
Plantainlilies thrive in shade but
they are tolerant and will grow in
full sun, especially if they are plant
ed in a well enriched soil, one that
Is retentive of moisture.
There are a number of species of
the plantainlily, the difference being
both In color and in habit of growth.
The colors are white or shades of
blue. The growth varies from IL
inches to feet Some of the species
have slender, narrow leaves, while
others are large and heart shaped.
Most species have glossy green
leaves, although there are number
with variegated foliage.
The mostly commonly planted is
