The violet has come down
through the ages as a garden IA
v%orite, yet it is often ignored in
gardens which it could easily help
to adorn. 1t is attractive in a rock
garden, as well as when used as
a border plant.
The single forms of violet odor-
alta in blue Or white are easily
grown. A healthy, thriving violet
plant is illustrated in the accom-
panying Garden Graph. When the
plants are set in a rich, loan
soil in a sheltered position they
will bloom from four to six weeks
in the spring.
Violets frequently thrive so
well, they become a matted mass
of plants and run out II vlolets
do not bloom well it is usually
due to over-crowding, poor stock
or impoverished soil. If the latter
is the reason then a top dressing
of leafmold, or compost. mixed
with commercial fertilizer and
applied in the fall will help to
produce profuse bloom the fol
lowing spring.

There are numerous so-ca1led
rules in bridge. Such as: don't
lead away from a king; lead the
king from the ace-king; cover an
honor with an honor; second hand
low; the play of a low card and
then a higher card shows no in
terest in that suit; the play of a
high card and then a lower one
is called the echo and asks for a
continuation.
More often than not, according
to another rule, we split u hon
ors. All of these rules, however,
must be broken at times.
Today's hand was given to me
by Tobias Stone of New York, who
recently became Lie Master No.
IS, fulfilling my predictions in this
column that he would be listed
among the top-ranking players of
the country.
When discussing a hand, Stone
has a very rapid style all his own.
You can picture this youngster,
who knows ne is good, pointing
out to another expert the mistake
on this hand. He was criticiziag
the expert for having split his
heart honors.
The opening club lead a won
in dummy with the queen, and
Stone then took two rounds of
spades, dropping Vests queen.
Now he led a small heart and
West split his honors. Stone won
in dummy with the king and cash
ed the ace and king of clubs. dis
carding the five and deuce Of dia-
monds from his own hand.
He ruffed a club and then
played all of his trumps. This
left him with the ace-ten of hearts
and king OF diamonds, while West
had the queen and five of hearts
and c of diamonds.
Stone led the king of diamonds,
forcing West to win, and of course
West had to lead from his queen
five of hearts into Stones ace-ten.
In describing Vests mistake,
Stone said, eff I intended to fl
nesse the nine of hearts, there was
nothing you could do about it; but
why did you assume that I was
going to finesse the nine of
hearts? That's where you made
your mistake"
1 think we will have to agree
with Stone.

Violets Adorn Any Garden

! Violets should be divided every
two years to keep them from be-
coming cver-crowded. While this
can be done any time after the
blooming period, it is advisable
to do it in August or September.
If divided during the hot weather,
the roots may dry out toe
quickly. Keep newly planted VIC
lets well watered. To divide
the plants merely pull them
apart.
The variety of violet plant de-
termines its method of propaga-
ton. Some send out runners
which can be progagated by peg
ging them to the ground, as illus
trated. Press a bit of soil about
them for this purpose. Other VIC
lets with thick root stocks should
be subdivided.
Seeds of vioiets a be obtained
from seed houses. but they GERM
rate slowly. Some remain dor
mant for a year Or two. II
therefore, is advisable TO pur
chase plants for . starter" plant
ing.
