This ridiculous statement rked
Mr.. Champion so much he al
most led out of turn. But the
fireworks were just starting. Mr..
Abel laid down the king of clubs
and Mr.. MuzZy intended to win
with the ace. However, he was
still grousing about the bidding
and inadvertently played the
eight spot.
Immediately he grabbed up
his card, saying there was so
much talk going on that he
didn't see what was led. Most
Of the talking was being done
by him.
Finally he was convinced the
eight of clubs had to stand.
Thoroughly confused now, he
won the next trick. killing the
queen of clubs with the ace. He
caShed the king and ace of
hearts. planning to try to- break
that suit 3-3. Just in time he
remembered he had already lost
q trick.
Next he cashed his five spade
tricks, discarding two hearts and
the last club from the board. On
the last spade Mr.. Champion was
down TO his original four dia-
monds and the queen of hearts.
He was squeezed and he knew
1t. Disgustedly he threw away
the heart and. amazingly enough,
Mr.. Muzzy had counted that suit
and knew his five spot was good.
He cashed that card and won
the last three tricks with the
Cop diamonds.
Note that his play TO the first
trick made the squeeze possible.

1t is advisable to mulch the
iris the first winter to prevent
heaving. In the spring remove
the dead tops and weed care
fully, being sure that the rhi-
ZONE is not damaged.
So far we have taken it fol-
granted that all the iris you are
to plant is completely free from
disease OF insect pests. There
are two main pests, the borer
and the rot. The rot usually gets
in after the borer has done his
damage.
If rot should appear scrape
out all affected parts and let the
rhizone lie in the sun for sew

copper compound. such as Bor-
deaux 1t is ready now to be re-

There are a number Of sprays
and dusts available which will

using them follow the directions

blooming time, to be sure, but it
might well be used now to help
insure protection until bloom

AS to varieties to buy, nearly
all the garden magazines print
lists of the best hundred. They
are not necessarily the newest
varieties or the most expensive

speak of and so we'll talk about
them first. They may be planted
IN groups in perennial bordal
by themselves. In front of shrubs
they are so easily overgrown by
the shrub and soon lack the

In a mixed flower border they are
very effective but it is hard to
keep them sufficiently raised
above the surrounding area for
good drainage and equally hard
to be sure that adequate sun
reaches their roots.

they are set. Generally it is I'M
necessary to water them again

The best time to divide or
