 Keep cutting faded blossoms from all flowers, both annual and per- ennial. Well-cut annuals will assure you a goodly supply of blooms until frost.
 Iris of all types can be divided and replanted at this time The popular bearded iris germanica should be planted elmost on top of the ground, but other varieties, such as the Japanese, should be planted deeper. Oriental peoples move best at this time. but the gardener must be careful not to bruise roots when handling.
 The first fall catalogues are ap- bearing and one from Holland, Mich, reminds me that narcissus, tulips and other spring-flowering bulbs should be ordered at once, since the demand will far exceed the supply. While some Dutch bulbs will be available, American grown bulbs are excellent; in many instances our narcissus bulbs are superior to those grown abroad. Narcissus should be plant ed any time during late summer, but tulips must wait until late au-

The ripe old age of 20 is not toe early to begin preventive measures -creaming, massaging, and strap ping up your still partly tilted chin If a chin already shows signs oi slipping, there is all the more req son for using these conductive meth ods.
 Cream to use? A night cream, massaged on with deep-digging thumbs, while the rest of your fands are clasped over jowls in a firm pulling-up grip. The technique of massaging is to work thumbs back and forth underneath the chin, pressing flesh firmly from chin-point to. ear lobes.
 For the strapping-to be worn for bracing chin while you knit, sew, read and, if you will, while you sleep take cotton, soak in chilled witch hazel, and cradle the saturated pad in a ribbon band. Lodge the pad under yous chin and tie the ribbon snugly at the top of your head.

tumn.
 When cutting gladiolus blooms, leave three or four leaves to help ripen the corms (bulbs). Dry weather will increase the thrip population. and only by repeated spraying with an ounce of tartar emetic and a half cupful of syrup, or similar sweetener, in three gall Ions of water, can this pest be con- trolled.
 Thrips are tiny insects which work their way up from the bulbs and exist by sucking the sap from the foliage. Their presence is known when silvery lines appear on the foliage and the flowers become flecked, spotted and greatly de- formed and many spikes fail to bloom at all. Complete control is possible only when the bulbs are treated with napthalene flakes prior to winter storage, and dipped in corrosive sIblimate or lysol solution prior to planting in the spring. Con- stant spraying from the time the fol%ge is si xinehes high is nec- essary when untreated bul&s are planted. To avoid spotting blooms, spray only the foliage after buds begin to osen.
