plenty for the stock.
Mr.. McNair has been operating
q dairy farm since 1917 and can
remember some other dry years.
He said the drought this year
hasn't done as much damage as
the one in 1880 because it didn't
get started this year until the
summer was about half over.
In 1880. he said, there Just
wasn't any crops. It took the
farmers who got through that one
about three years to get over it.
This year he has had to buy
about 18 tons of hay for his 30
COW herd and had to make silage
of most of the corn he intended
to keep for grain. The recent
increase in milk prices. he said
will help some to Offset his in
creased production costs.
Mr.. McNair. like many others
has found that a pond is a great
thing on a farm. Not only is ii
insurance in time of dry weather
but it is pretty to look at, pro-
vides recreation and is a source OF

warm, protected, sunny situation
where chilling breezes will not
delay its spring showing.
Along with the Winter Aconite
and crocus we have an early flow
ering Shrub-the Winter Jasmine
(Jasmium nudiflorum). On the
Sixteenth street side TO Meridian
Hill Park, the Winter Jasmine
trails over the edge of the wall.
1t is always a sign that spring is
coming when the scattered yellow
flowers open up along the trail
ing stems. The Winter Jasmine is
"a low mound-like shrub that
spreads through tip-layering into
a widely spreading mass. 1t will
thrive in sun or light shade.
Flowers Before Leaves.
Following the winter jasmine
we often see the snowy blooms of
the Korean rhododendron (R
mucronulatum). The 11a to
inch rosy-purple flowers appear
before the leaves, SO that the lit
tie shrub appears almost grotesque
with the large bloom on bare
twigs. Do not plant this early
bloomer in a too protected situa-
ton or the flowers will be ruined
by late freezes. 1t thrives in full
sun or partial shade.
The Asiatic witch-hazel (Hama-
meliS mollis) and the fragrant
honeysuckle Gonicera fragran-
tiSsima) are other early boomers
but the flowers are relatively in
conspicuous. Also. the fragrant
honeysuckle lacks in foliage quail
tiles and so is hardly justified in
the smaller garden.
Following these early birds, we
have a host of snowy spring
boomers that might we'll include

as the Moss phlox. They are all
early bloomers. depending upon
the exposure. Iris reticulata has
often bloomed in February for
one Takoma Park gardener.
None of these take up much
space in the garden and most of
them are not snowy unless planted
in groups. However. because of
their early bloom they are usually
much priced and worth the bit of
space given over to them. If
planted where protected from
winter winds adm where they re-
Iceive morning sunshine they will
all flower several weeks earlier

Last spring at the New York
Flower Show, the Brooklyn
Botanical Garden had a display
of bloom that might be found II
a garden in February. in March
and in April. The three gardens
drew q great deal of attention
since many of the flowers were
not common in the smaller gar
dens.
The choice of plant material
for the garden is often confined
to those which make the biggest
showing - tulips and daffodils
the forsythia. etc. AS a matter of
fact, most folks are so glad to
see tiny early bloomer herald
ing the return of spring that
they make more of fuss over
it than they do over the first
tulip.
1t is for this reason that we
might turn our attention to those
plants which we may set out now
for the earliest of spring bloom
Two of the winter bloomers
which sometimes continue in
flower until March are the Christ
mas rose Helleborus niger) and
the Lenten rose Helleborus orr
entalis). Neither of these are
roses but are hardy perennials
that defy winter weather and
produce Ia to 2-inch white
pink -tinged flowers. They thrive
where they receive winter sun
but are protected by shade dur
ing the summer.
We might also say that the
Snowdrops are winter bloomers
because in protected situations
they often bloom by New Years
Day and will continue in bloom
for many weeks. The clumps i'm
prove with age and in a well
drained soil will persist for many
years. The greenish-tipped. white
bells are not snowy. but during
the early spring days they are a
welcome sight.
Winter Aconite Is Bright.

Most of the regulars from last

the beginning Of the 1851 season.
But Coach Frank Howard put
together a good enough line to
let Hair get a step or two start
on the opposition, and that was
all the talented Walterboro. S. c..
boy needed.
Hair ran for 663 yards in 1873
