They bloom In May and June.
It is with q hybrid Of this group
that we are presently concerned.
Three hybrids. the Dutch, the
Spanish, and the English irises
were all developed In Holland
from species native TO the Medi-
terranean, area. OF these the
Dutch iris has become the most
popular since 1t has been proven
hardy here. It is a great favorite
of the florists who use one blue
variety extensively in mixed
bouquets.
The foliage Of the Dutch Iris
is poor so they should be grown
with q pleasing background or
in a cutting bed when landscape
effect is Of no Importance. They
are excellent for cutting.
Plont as Tulips-loter
The Dutch iris should be
planted as tulips are, perhaps
a little later to prevent them
from making top growth In the
early winter. Most gardeners pre-
fer to dig the Dutch iris In late
June and store them in a warm
dry place till planting time
comes around.
Some people have very good
luck just leaving them In the
ground from year to year.
The bulbs are inexpensive
enough to take the chance.
Some of the varieties sug-
gested for your garden are:
Alaska, a rich yellow.
Blue Champion, porcelain blue
with a yellow blotch.
Blue Pearl, deep blue.
Golden Harvest, yellow.
Huchtenburg, falls yellow,
standard blue.
Jeanne D'Arc, large creamy
white.

Dutch !. Iris |'i Planting Late
Prevents Top Growth
By Alice S. Younemon

To many people the term
''iris" means the tall-bearded
kind. In fact to many folks it
means the old fashioned sort
commonly called flags"
There are many kinds Of iris
that may be grown successfully
in our gardens today. Foremost
among them is the large class
known as the bearded iris. >
They have been cultivated for
centuries and are probably most
widely planted.
Every year one may find in
one or more of the garden maga-
zines a list of the 100 best vari-
cites. It is wise for a beginner
to choose from such a list as
there are about 1900 varieties
altogether. OF course. some Of
the 1900 are very old and many
are similar to the ones on the
list of 100. Many could not be
found in catalogues.
BeordIess and Bulbous Groups
Next in Importance is the
"beardless" iris group. There are
several subgroups Of the beard
less. The best known are I. si-
birica and I. pseudacorus (the
Fleur de Lys of France). These
are generally representative of
the group.
And then there Is the "bul-
bous" iris group. It is made up
of the tiny I. reticulata and
others which bloom at the time
of the crocus and are about the
same size. They are especially
suited to a rock garden. Care is
required in wedding near them,
for their foliage SO closely re-
sembles wild garlic that they
may easily be mistaken for it
and pulled up.
The group with which we are
most concerned Is the Xiphium
which grow 1924 inches high.

Hunters Urged to Remember
Dogs Limitations in Field
BY Peter Boaos

The hunting dog from rabbit
hound to highbred pointer or
setter--is now enjoying his brief
season Of glory. VIII you sports
men listen to a few sane conn
mandments" as to your dogs.
from a man who has hunted
everything from squirrel to deer?
Don't take out" on your dog
your crankiness for your own bad
shooting.
Remember your dogs feet are
not shod with iron and that he
is not wearing q suit OF armor.
II a few fast hours over stiff
| stubble and through murderous
briars put him temporarily out of
business, don't force him to go
on. Call it a day and quit.
The dog, which perhaps has
had no regular exercise for nearly
a year, wears down in course of
time If you keep him too steadily
in the field. Take pity on his
tired muscles.
Fast going for hours, coupled
with the excitement of the chase,
makes him crave water to drink.
See that he gets it.
Look to his pads and to his
possible scratches at the end Of
the day.

Advice to Children
Here are a few simple hints
to children who own and care
for a dog:
Don't hurt your dog when you
are Furnishing him. A spank
ing on the hips with a rolled up
newspaper does just as well.
Don't bathe your dog too often
or with strong soaps. A good
hard brushing is better. Let
him have access to fresh and
clean water at all times. Don't
follow your neighbor's advice on
how to treat your dog for an
ailment, for such well-meant ad-
vice may be harmful. Go to a
veterinarian.
Don't try to make vegetarian
OF, a rneat-eating animal by feed
ing your dog nothing but vege-
tables. Don't let burrs or stick
ers stay on his coat. They may
harm not only the coat but the
skin. Don't feed your dog on
cakes or candy or other sweets
or on highly seasoned. foods.
Serve his food warm or cold,
but never red-hot or chilled. and
in general avoid fat and starch
IN his diet. A damp or unclean
kennel encourages disease. Don't
think he has rabies if he foams
at the mouth.

from two Greek words meaning
hatred Of water" Thus, in the
days of the ancient Romans
(you viii find a reference to it
in Pliny) and for many CEN

ed hydrophobia, he was ducked
under water until he was on the

There is a great new demand

It is reported that wood chips
have several advantages over
peatmoss, straw, grass clippings,

prevent weed growth, and help
prevent erosion. AS with saw
dust, it is necessary to add nit
rogen to the soil a couple Of

As soon as the leaves fall, att
trees may be moved except dog
wood, birch. magnolia, sweetgum
and tulip trees. Do not fertilize

After the gladiolus corms are

One often wonders what self
discipline is and how one grows
into it. The more | study human
beings, including myself, | realize
that discipline is basic for happi-
ness. The youngster who has
parental discipline is extremely
fortunate.
Take Jeff and Don for example,
one, two and one-half, and one, not
yet four. They go to see their
grandmother after church and
make a Decline to candy box,
which grandmother has there for
that very purpose.
They have no interest in nutri-
ton, as such, but when their daddy
says firmly, after you've had
your dinner" they are beginning
to build into their little human
framework seIf-discipline, because
daddy doesn't take the candy, but
allows them to go home carrying
it themselves.
Temptation? Sure! but they
made it!
