Mr. Finny had a turnip
And it grew behind the barn,
1t grew and it grew
And 1t did no harm
1t grew and 1t grew
Till 1t could grow no taller,
Then Mr.. Finny took 1t up
And put it in the cellar.
There 1t lay till 1t began to rot.
Then Mr.. Finnys daughter Sophia
Put the turnip in the pot
1t boiled and boiled
AS long as 1t was able.
Then Mr.. Finny's daughter Lizzie
Put the turnip on the table.
Mr.. and Mrs. Finny when they sit dowl

Onions are treated in the same

you in the kitchen again) to follow
the rules of the cook book (they're
really very simple, any woman can

from Mrs. E. r. L., Washington
For some time I have been want

has that lack of interest" attitude.
To make 1t clearer. She has become
so slovenly! She had much rather
look through her hair than take the
time to pin 1t out Of her eyes with a
bobbie. Seems happy only when
she has on a pair of shorts and no
shoes and is absolutely dirty. Shes
never in a hurry. Takes what seems
forever to do a minor task. Scatters
her clothes everywhere. I'm sure
when she was 3 or 4 years old these
things never occurred. They have
Just been gradually growing on her.
It's not lack. of interest on my part,
because have faithfully tried
everything I know to encourage her
to be interested in the things around
her enough that she would try on
her own accord to do better. Does
any one have solution?

cover them with vermlcul1te. PreSS-
ing them down is sufhcient. I then
set the pot in a pan of warm water
until all the vermiculite became
wet. The pot was then placed in a
light but not sunny window and
covered with clear window glass.
At the end of three weeks several
hundred tiny, green leaves appeared.
-Four weeks later I started trans
planting. I used 12-inch clay sau-
Ger, broken pieces Of pots for drain
age, with a 2-inch pot in the CEN
ter for watering. I filled the sau-
Ger with fine sand mixed with YER
miculite. Since the plants were
very small and SO closely grown,
it was impossible to separate them
all. Some were just transplanted
in little clumps. In this one sau-
Ger I put about 200 seedlings. I
started watering with Vitamin B
solution. AS the soil held moisture
well, I did not water too often for
fear of dampening off. After five
months from planting have not
lost one plant from dampening OH.
One month later I transplanted
for the second time. BY this time
T could separate most of the plants.
I planted them separately in two
inch pots. In some pots put as many
as three small plants. The soil I used
this time was the regular mixture
I used for large plants. I also gave
them little plant food after this
transplanting.
Today some plants measure to 4
inches across, while others are still
small.
There is quite q bit of individu-
ality shown in these small plants.
Some leaves are pointed, some
round. Some stems are transparent,
some pinkish. Some leaves are
very dark green, some light.
It's wonderful surprise when the
plants start blooming, as you never
know until they do what they will
be. I have several more months
to wait to enjoy the surprises. I
hope by Christmas, at least. to have
blooms. Some growers claim to
have blooms within six months, but
I don't believe I will be that lucky.
L have between 80 and 90 vari-
eties of African violets, besides my
seedlings. Consequently. ! will not
have space to start more seedlings
until spring.
The demand Is always much
greater than the supply. Now is
the best time to purchase, or order,
as the seeds will be ready for ship
ment in October.
There will be some special crosses
of seeds available. You will know
which varieties are crossed, and Or
der accordingly. Special crosses
sell for two and three dollars per
package. Each package contains
approximately 800 seeds.
I am sure all of them do not
germinate, as I did not get more
than 300 plants from my seeds.
This should not be at all difficult
to any one accustomed to handling
seedlings.
