AzuIeus Need
Acidity Shade
And Moisture

Three points in the culture
Of azaleas need to be observed
by home owners who expect to
plant these lovely flowers:
l. Acid soil Is needed for all
common azaleas. II O plant
begins TO turn yellow or show
weak growth. the garden soil
is itself not acid. Applications
Of common sulfur at the rate
Of q pound TO 40 square feet
will increase soil acidity. This
can be added to the surface
soil. Mixtures Of acid peat moss
with the planting soil will help
and surface mulches of this
moss or decayed oak leaves will
be helpful.
2. Partial shade. amounting
to perhaps q third Of the nor
NAL days sunlight In the sum-
mer months. is needed. II there
Is high shade. best from tall
trees, in the middle Of the day,
azaleas should grow well. and
some Of the abnormal summer
heat is avoided. Planting near
hot masonry walls or on very
sunny slopes Is not good.
3. There can be no water
shortage at any time, yet no
standing water either. Good
rain drainage beneath the
plants and a two-inch mulch
on the surface contribute to
good soil conditions for azaleas.

| HORSEPOWER D0VSb ABbh AL
A few hours of warm sun
shine and workable soil. and
gardeners really went to work
In earnest last week end. OF
course. there was not time
enough for all of the jobs need
ing doing. but at least there
was some progress. Spring has
come with a rush. There are
daffodils in bloom In many
yards and the crocus are put
ting on a grand display. Too
bad more gardeners do not tuck
in a number Of the crocus bulbs
(corms) where the early spring
sunshine will reach them.
Spring is a month late COM
pared with last year. We hope
1t does not turn too hot for
the spring floral parade and
bring everything into bloom at
one time. Many camellias that
bloomed beautifully In Febru-
airy and March in 1857 have
just shown color. The cherries
are only fat buds now. and the
tulips. daffodils and hyacinths
are ready to burst into bloom
with a few days of hot sun
shine. All of this and we still
have our first vegetable seeds
to get in.
Feeding PeOnies
Fertilize around the peony
clumps II 1t can be done. with
out injury to the buds. Per-
haps 1t will be better to wait
another week when the buds
are expected to show before
doing 1t. Peonies need this
feeding in early spring and a
second feeding should follow
just as the buds begin to swell.
The fertilizer may be scratched
into the surface, but avoid in
jury TO the surface roots.
wild Onions
Try 2.4-D on the wild onion
in the lawn the first time tenn
peratures approach IS to 10
degrees. Do it when rain is I'M
likely. Otherwise, use fuel oil
and swab the green stems
lightly. but avoiding dripping
oil on the grass. Digging is Of
no avail. It Is impossible to get
all the pieces (cloves) without
removing q spadeful Of soil.
Fertilizing Beds
In preparing beds for flowers
and vegetables the recon-
mended practice is to spread
compost or peat moss and ferti-
lizer before spading so that
they are mixed into the soil.
This feeding viii take care Of
crops that mature In a COM
paratively short time. Longer
growing crops viii need a sup
plewental feeding In the way
Of side dressings.

be pushed along with an appli-
cation Of liquid fertilizer. There
are q number Of such on the
market. Be sure to follow the

The porch grower feeds more
often but not as heavily as the
out-of-door wer. Good
growth and bud development
is necessary for such a floral
display as was seen in the
porches visited.
Out-of-door plants were OBJ
served In each Of the gardens

this. one Of the meanest winters
in decades. OF course the porch
was inclosed with glass. Some
camellia fans go so far as to
put a clear plastic over the
glass on the inside to hold the
heat which builds up very well
during the sunny days.
But the plants were all In
containers and some were over
6 feet tall. This may have been
the tag END of the Towering
season, but lots Of the plants
had many unopened buds.
The culture of camellias for
the unheated porch is relatively
simple. Container- grown
plants are bought and Wink

shock Of having their root.

Most of the plants observed

that eventually they get to q

Sophie Tucker and Maurice Chevalier, both 70
years old, viii team up for the first time IN

wonderful, confident jaunty airs-the last Of
the red hot mamas and the last of the red
hot papas. They viii sing duets and they're
not ashamed to say 1t will be pure, undiluted,
nostalgia sentiment.
Tucker and Chevalier together Is an in
spired bit of showmanship, and it has them jit-

II can't tell you the butterflies have just

vision but this show with Maurice is different.
We've been friends for 50 years. When
ever he's in New York and I'm performing. he
always comes to me- When I'm in Paris,
I never fail to see him. It's a real affection
and mutual admiration. But naturally I'm
nervous about it. our first time working together.
Show me an old trooper who isn't nervous before
a show"
Presiding over her domicile like q major
domo, literally surrounded on every side by
mementoes Of lifetime in show business and
world tours, Miss Tucker talks in her familiar
booming stage voice.

formers having no place to. get experience
today?" she said. mot only in New York, every
city in the country has small hotels cafes little
radio stations where youngsters can practice,
hnd themselves, polish up before they try the
big time.
That's what we old-timers did We went
down in the rathskellars and the real dumps
and worked for peanuts but We were learning
what show business means. Today kid makes
one hit record and he gets $500 for tele-
vision performance. And he figures he's a star.
He may be star for one performance, but he's
not star for life.
1.-THE truth is, most of the kids don't want
to do it the hard way They won't put in the
years of working and waiting. And If they get
a big break too early, they don't even have any
respect or gratitude to their audience"
