BY RUTH PERRY

interesting meeting. We hope TO
see a church filed with people
who believe in freedom.
Mrs. Ruby Hurley, the NAA-
CPS South Eastern Regional Di-
rector has this to say about the
organization. " The NAACP has
had more publicity during these
past months than ever before.
There can be few people now who
have not heard about our organi-
zation. Where there was heSitancy
and doubt before, there should
certainly now be conviction that
ours is the organization to lead
the fight for freedom"
1.-THE forces opposing us are
making it clear that they fear
us. The suits against us, the leg
iSlation being passed, investiga-
tons and other actions against
us, are all part of a designed
plan to delay what we know will
surely come, Surely now there is
no doubt that the desire for free
dom is deep in the heearts of
every colored man and woman and
that we are willing to make sac
rifices for the realization of full
freedom"
A parting word for this week:
1t is a sad commentary on our
civilization that we've learned to
smash the atom, but have not
smashed prejudice.

WIDE COLOR RANGE :
DohIios From Seeds
Are Proving Popular

single flowers in bright colors
on dwarf plants.
These dahlias may be used as
specimen plants; planted in
groups of three or in large beds;
or used as a border planting.
A good rich soil with good
drainage and an adequate supply
of moisture is essential to good
growth and many flowers.
How to Save Tubers
If it is the growers wish to
save the tubers, they should be
lifted before frost and stored
just as other dahlias are stored.
You may wish to choose certain
colors or types for next years
planting and discard the others.
II so, be sure to mark them while
in bloom. They will come true
to type. In dividing the clump
be sure to leave an "eye" on
each. The EYE" is the little
growing point near the neck of
the bulb.
Seed may be planted inside
now. 1t terminates in a few
days and should be transplanted
to flats allowing each seeding
enough room to develop into a
sturdy little plant ready to be
set out when the soil warns up.

Dahlias from seed are espe-
cially satisfactory for the small
garden. They may be chosen in
single, semi-double, or double
forms. The color range includes
yellows, orange shades, pinks and
reds but not the magnificent
color blending to be found in the
large dahlias grown from tubers.
Now, of course, small dahlias
may be saved from year to year,
but since not everyone is success
full in keeping dahlia tubers over
the winter and many homes have
no suitable place for storing the
tubers, the ones grown from seed
are very desirable.
1t is possible to plant the seed
outdoors and have flowers the
same season, but it is more salts
factory to sow the seed inside
and have the plants large enough
to set out by the first of May.
They transplant easily.
Wide Range of COlors
Unwin'S dwarf hybrids are the
most common of these small
dahlias. They are semi double
for the most part and come in a
wide range of colorS. They grow
to be about 2 feet tall and pro-
duce great quantities of flowers.
A loWer-growing dahlia will
be produced by sowing Unwin's
ideal bedding mixture. The
flowers in this mixture are semi
double and double. The plants
are dwarf and compact. The
colors are similar.
Another group, more recently
introduced, called Sunburst by
bird are not much different in
size and color.

THIS WEEK
IN THE GARDEN

Now is the time to begin weed
ing. The weeds are small now
and the ground is moist and fri
able so that weeds come out
fairly easily. Every one that can
be pulled out now will mean
many less to pull bye and bye.
If the weeds are pulled now and
then a good mulch put on the
beds very little wedding will
need to be done. It is wise to
let the sun warm the soil before
putting on the mulch, however
Seed-Starting Medium
Sphagnum moss is still a good

Castor Bean Grows Fast

Largest of the foliage plants
that grow quickly from seed is
the castor bean. Varieties of this
grow from 6 to IL feet tall. Their
large leaves Of bronzy green
with red or purple veins will fill
the same space as a large shrub
or small tree. They will serve
well to test the effect of such a
plant in the landscape you are
