Divide
Oriental
Peoples Now
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times GardeH Editor

ORIENTAL POPPIES are
dormant now--that is they are
resting. No leaves are above
the surface but if you know
where your clumps are and
want more OF any certain kind,
now is the time 10 divide the
clumps. Since any piece of root
will grow, new plants may be
made by just splitting up the
old roots and reptanting parts
In other spots.
But, If you have a particu-
larly fine kind of which you'd
like to have a number of plants,
you will use a less haphazard
method and turn professional
long enough 10 make root cut
tings in the approved way.
First dig the root (Which in
the finer hybrids will take quite
a while 10 form the same sort
Of clump the old orange sort
makes so readily. Try to get
all OF It by digging deeply, for
oriental poppy roots certainly
aim for China.
Divide The Roots
Since every bit of root Of
new and choice sort is precious
and you probably would like
blooms for next season as we'll
as new plants, keep the heavy
center Of the root you dig intact
and remove only the thinner
roots, those about the thickness
Of lead pencil.
Now cut these roots into
pieces three TO four inches long,
using a sharp knife and making
a clean cut. Bury them in
horizontal position an inch deep
IN the HsHai propagating box
filled with either sand or sand
and peat moss. II you prefer,
you can prepare a sand bed in
a shady corner OF the garden
and plant the cuttings hori-
zontally in this.
Keep Plants Moist
Firm the sand around the
cuttings and sprinkle until the
soil is moist but not dTenched.
This is the condition in which
10 keep IT for several weeks
until the cuttings send up new
leaves. Remember. il you let the
roots dry out, they Will not
grow, and If you keep them too
moist they Will rot without
growing. II will pay 10 feel
the soil daily before watering
10 find out Just how much
moisture is needed.
IL the cuttings are rooted in
a box, move 10 a special spot
in the garden when the leaves
appear. If rooted in sand
bed. leave alone until next year
when they may be moved 10
their permanent places.

"THE story l am writing

Il tic indeed" writes
Emily B., from suburb of Chi
cago, "but I assure you that this
sort of thing did not die with the
Victorian writer's. I have
reached a point where must
have help or go mad, and I turn
to you, chiefly for the reason
that I know, from your work,

cat nineteen l married a
man of &c." the letter goes on.
THAT was 81 years ago. We had
one child, daughter who is mar
ried and has son aged two. Her
husband was never particularly
sympathetic to either my husband
or myself; he is much older than
Mary, and had the great misfortune
to lose his sight through labora-
tory accident two years ago, so that
Mary's problem is the care of a
helpless man and small child, all
three supported comfortably by my
husband and by pension. It would
make me very happy to go to her
and help her, but my husband says
in that case he would never send
them another cent.
Keith has always been strange
erratic man, but of late years his
peculiarities have been so growing
upon him that sometimes 1 am al
most afraid to live in somewhat
isolated country house with him
alone. We have three excellent
servants, and their efficiency means
that 1 have absolutely nothing to
do; nothing makes my husband an
grier than to have me interfere in
the management of the house in any
way. On the cooks night out the
downstairs girl cooks and serves
dinner, and when the chambermaid
is away she also takes on her du-
ties. Keith orders the meals and
takes full charge of the whole do
nestle scene.
Artistic Printer without Friends.
''He is a solitary, his one interest
in life his printing press, on which
he does very beautiful work, right
here in the house. Three or four
clerks and boys are always COM

city, but he is rarely away from
home, and never away for a meal.
His exercise is walking in the
grounds; he does not go to church
and we have no friends.

friends. If I attempt an occasional
committee meeting here or if a call

his lowering about in a state of re-
sentiment and impotence is enough
to make certain that it doesn't hap

upper hallway dozen times; could

the visitor is uncomfortably aware
of his feeling.
"Of late he has been trying rather
obviously and clumsily, but unmis-
takably, to convince me that my
mind is failing. The constant nag

after hour and day after day, has
certainly affected my nerves, and I
