the crown Of the plant during the
dormant season, July and August,
may be injurious. This, however,
is easily taken care of during sum-
mer cultivation. As soon as the top
is dead fill the hole left by the dead
stem with soil and thus exclude
moisture.
While many think OF the Oriental
poppy in terms of the scarlet or
orange flowered p. orientale, there
are many varieties carrying the color
range from white and pale pink
through salmon to maroon. OF the
many varieties available the Poppy
Society recommends IS as most de-
sirable.
The Oriental poppies seem to do
very well in this area when planted
in a reasonably well-drained soil.
They need good drainage and full
sun for best results. They may be
planted in any soil, but good culture
produces worthwhile results. A we'll
dug planting hole with compost and
bit Of bone meal mixed into the
soil provides the necessary soil
preparation.
Most gardeners enjoy peonies when
they are in flower in late May, but
at planting time in September or
mid-March they neglect to procure
and plant the roots which produce
such gorgeous displays for many
years. This unintentional neglect
is probably responsible for so many
gardens being without this depend
able perennial.
Peonies are comparatively easily
grown. although the first require
ment and the most important is the
proper preparation of the planting
hole. One grower insists that to do
the job properly a hole 3 feet in
diameter should be dug to depth
of 3 feet. This sounds almost like a
major excavation. However, q peony
fan might well make such prepara-
ton. Actually we should dig the
soil deeply and incorporate generous
quantities of well-rotted COW manure
or compost in the lower half of the
hole. This work should be done
somewhat in advance of planting SO
that the soil may be thoroughly
settled before the new roots are re-
ceived. Some bone meal should be
mixed with the compost or manure.
II the soil is heavy clay some
effort should be made to tighten it
with a mixture Of compost or even
sand. Peonies are not especially
fussy in their requirements. but they
do not like heavy soil, which holds
too much moisture during the winter
which is conducive to root rot.
Mounding the bed is recommended
to avoid water standing over the
crowns Of the plants.
At planting time avoid placing the
roots in contact with the manure.
The eye or buds at the top Of the
crown should be placed so that when
settling is ended they will be not
more than 2 inches below the sur
face Of the soil. Planting too deeply
oftentimes results in failure to
bloom.
Mulching the fall-planted bed is
recommended after the ground is
frozen so as to prevent "heaving. !"
After the roots are once established
this protection is not needed.
Peonies may well be Incorporated
In the perennial border or used as
specimen plants. Their strong foli-
age and vigorous growth make them
well adapted to wide usage. While
they do not prefer shade, they will
do fairly we'll in light shade. Tree
roots, however, offer too much COM
petition and should be avoided.

Nv reached trails end last May

posite directions, they left behind
record unmatched In all the long his
tory of ladies who pay alimony.
And ii Is refreshing TO report-in
a world where American heiresses
have paid kings ransoms to dispose
of husbands who have outlasted their
-weleeHe-that a lone cowboy gave
up his rich wife for a jackass.
For a jackass called Jamaica-or
more properly. half a jaclass, because
Jamaica was their Joint property.
While IL is true the divorce-bound
Mrs Walters tossed In a couple of
horses TO cement the deal, Jamaica
was the real basis of agreement. For
the cowboy-husband had learned TO
love his long-eared friend and had
made jamaica one of the best.l;nown
trick performers In all the West.
So the marital knot was severed
and Betty got her freedom: Pat, his
jaclass A little later the ioved-and-
lost wrangler broke his shoulder
when an unruly horse rammed into
Jamaica at a Tahoe Lake rodeo.
Betty showered him with sympathy
L&Snd Pat, arm in sling, arrived In Reno
gain with high hopes for recon
Citation. But nay, nay said Betty,
and to prove her point she got her
self brand new husband.
Now she's Mrs. Vernon l.. Ambrose,
wife of an army sergeant with
chest-full OF medals. The sergeant
comes from Oakland, Calf. and over

oblige Mrs. Walters on condition she
relinquish all rights to Jamaica, which
had been given to the couple as a
wedding gift by Deborah Hull, owner
of the Washoe Pines Ranch.
Betty said II was a bargain and
Pat duly made his appearance in
court. After the customary time the
mills OF divorce ground out the decree
and Pat and Jamaica were free.
And so it was another cowboy failed
to make the grade in Reno's vast and
ever-milling matrimonial roundup. So
far as is known the smashed-up ro-
nance was the last of the so-called
successful marriages Of cowboys and
great ladies from the big city.
Definitely it is the only case on
record where a man turned in his
wife for exactly half a jackass.

Betty finally roped, tied and delivered

May 10 last, she was awarded her
decree on grounds of mental cruelty.
At the time Mrs. Walters was

cowboy, a master at breaking and
training wild horses, if not women,
was practicing his art near the Tan

Jamaica the jackass was with him,
