That date is only about 80 days
away, so we had better get our lists
of seeds, bulbs, plants and shrubs
made out and the orders sent of.
This is important for several rea-
sons. The most important is that
unless these go into the ground as
early as possible they may not make
satisfactory growth.
Washington summers are hot and
not too favorable to plant growth.
BY getting our planting done early,
the newly-set-out plants will be
much more likely to become well
established and more able to with
stand the summer heat and, per-
hapS, droughts. Deeply rooted plants,
obviously, are the most likely to
make satisfactory growth, the thing
every gardener desires of his efforts.
Varieties Will Be Limited.
Early ordering this season is espe-
cially desirable for those who want
specific kinds and varieties of plants.
Our nurseries and plantsmen are
still handicapped by lack of help
and consequently they do not have
the large stocks nor the customary
variety of plants, shrubs and bulbs
for sale. Hence, the early placing
of orders is necessary to avoid SUBJ
stitutions and consequent disap-
pointment. That, by the way, is a
point worth attention If possible
indicate in your order to the nurs-
cry or plantsmen some preferred
kinds or varieties which may be
substituted in case they are unable
to supply the desired kinds.
However, the main emphasis in
the order should be early shipment
delivery in March. This should &C
long way toward having the
plants on hand ready to be set out
as soon as the soil can be pre-
pared. Also, it will put the re-
sponsibility on the nurseryman tc
get them packed and shipped al
the proper time. With the current
shortage of help in the packing
sheds it is desirable for us to get
our orders into their hands as
early as possible.
Care on Arrival.
| Washington seasons are variable
and there are seasons when April
deliveries succeed. However, it is
best to take as few risks as possible
March is the recognized planting
date. To illustrate how important
this can be, a shipment of 125
strawberry plants was received by
the author in late April, 1914. Two
plants survived A similar order
in 1945 which was delivered in
March had a loss of only three
plants. All of the work involved
in preparing for and handling the
1914 shipment was wasted, but more
important still was the loss of
the anticipated crop from those
plants in 1945. Yes, it pays to
order early for delivery in March.
When the early shipments arrive
before the ground is ready for

Miss Wylie, whose initials stand
for Ida Alexa Ross" demands hon.
esty in what she writes as well as in
what she reads.
That doesn't mean, however, that
she has to experience something
before she can write about it. Act
ually, she finds facts sometimes get
in the way.
'If you have imagination you
ought to be able to write about
anything. Some of the best stories
I've read have been about places
written by people know have never
been there. Personal experience is
limited. You don't dry up so soon if
you're writing on imagination"
She Need Not Have Gone.
She recalled one time when she
told an editor she was going to do
a story on prerevolutionary Rus
sia. He wanted to know if she had
been there. She confessed that she
hadn't and was about to add that
she didn't think that was absolutely
necessary when it occurred to her
that he was about to propose trip
for her.
so I went to Russia. spent two
months there, came back and wrote
exactly what I would have written
If I hadn't gone-except that the
few facts I'd collected got in my
way" she smiled.
Most of her stories grew out of
chance remarks, combined with an
active imagination. She remem-
bered the genesis of one of her most
successful ones-"A Feather in Her
Hat" She was buying shoes wher
the shoe salesman mentioned that
he had been left in a founding
home and now that he was grown
up he wanted to find his parents.
Miss Wylie never found out If he
did embark on the search, but she
had her story.
Where Stories Come from.
"Ho, the Wild Wind" was prod
uct of many things. She didn't
want to write modern novel be-
cause the hero, if he wasn't in the
- service, would have to have fiat
feet or cold feet or something"
She had always been interested in
Martha's Vineyard, Mass, and she
had a, very New England" friend
st wondered what would happen
to her if she fell for some one who
was very much not New England
Then it went on from there, and 1
didn't seem to have much to do with
it after that"
Only once did a story come to her
whole.
MY friend, the late DR.. Joseph
Inc Baker, told me one day that she
had story for me- I'd heard that
before and wasn't much interested
but listened, and she had it all
right. That was The Young in
Heart
Life Is Too Coincidental.
'But that doesn't happen often
Most people think real life makes
good stories. Actually, life is much
too coincidental. People would say
life isn't that way"
Miss Wylie loves to talk about
writing-her own or anybody else's.
And she loves to write.
II don't feel good if I'm not writ
ing. When haven't got an idea,
then nothing is good. can't enjoy
myself"
Because she has written from
childhood and is still writing stead
lily at SIS, Miss Wylie sums up her
career this way:
'T haven't set the Thames on fire,
but I've done what wanted to do.
I've written the way I've wanted to
write and I haven't suffered from
illusions. I've had a happy life"

Also African violets can be started
