LONDON, Nov. 10 (AP).-
The priceless Lane collection Of
paintings, disputed between
Ireland and Britain for more
than four decades, will be re-
turned to ireland soon, quail
ified sources said last night.
The 80 paintings. mostly by
French impressionists, have
been housed in London since
1915 and are at present in the
National Gallery here.
The British government is
to announce ofhcially
within a short time its decision
to send the collection to Dublin,
on condition they are from
time TO time loaned to North
ern Ireland.
The pictures belonged to Sir
Hugh Lane, a wealthy Irish
man who died in the sinking Of
the liner Lusitania A years
ago. The collection then was on
loan to the National Gallery in
London.
Sir Hugh's will bequeathed
the paintings to the National
Gallery but, in an unwitnessed
codicil three months before his
death, he revoked the bequest
and left the collection to the
City of Dublin. The modifying
codicil' was ruled invalid and

and by Montgomery Hyde, for

Of the protection necessary.
Certainly. many a newly set
out chrysanthemum shoot, has
been able to re-establish even
on a hot day with this simple
protection.
Usually the newly set out
plants are freely watered, and
they should be. but 1t may
puddle the surface Of the soil
making it difficult for air to
penetrate to the roots. A light
covering of some mulch ma
terial will allow the water and
air to penetrate by keeping the
soil particles from running to-
gether and crusting. Peat
moss. If used for this purpose,
should be moistened, other
wise it will float away and do

est bit Of drying they should
be soaked In water before
planting. This applies primarily
to plants shipped into the area,
more than it does to locally
purchased ones. Nevertheless.
1t is unwise to plant unless the
roots are plump and full Of
moisture. II only slightly dried
they may need soaking for only
an hour or two. but II badly
dried they should be soaked
several hours. Overnight is
about the limit.
Starter Solution Helpful
ANIMALS and other plants
also benefit by receiving care
in addition to setting them in
a planting hole. This applies to
both plants taken from pots as
well as those dug from a row
of seedlings. A half to a whole
cupful of starter solution"
should be poured into the hole
after the plant has been set.
This solution which is made up
from one Of the soluble plant
foods offered by the garden
supply houses according to the
manufacturers directions is
poured into the hole after the
roots have been covered with
soil. After the solution has
soaked into the ground, the
hole may be filled but the soil
should not be pressed down or
compacted.
There is some difference of
opinion as to the Importance
Of adding one of the hormone
products commonly available
at the supply stores to the
starter solution. Apparently
there is a difference in response
between the different kinds of
plants. Certainly the cost is
so little that it merits a trial,
especially with. the woody
plants.

The gardener finds many
reasons for transplanting at
other than the preferred sea-
son but unless he takes pre-
cautions the plants may be
given a shock. and to recover
from shock takes time. How
ever, there are a number Of
aids which will help even the
large woody shrubs to with
stand transplanting without
undue shock.
Woody plants should be cut
back sufficiently to compensate
for loss Of roots. This may be
accomplished in several ways.
The branches may be thinned
so as to retain the shape of the
shrub, they may be shortened,
and If there are several stems
or trunks a portion Of them
may be removed. In addition
the planting hole soil should
be mixed with a generous guam
tity Of peatmoss to keep the
roots from drying out. Some
will go one step further, by
adding a soluble fertilizer to
the water used to settle the
soil about the roots. The fer
tilizer may not be necessary
but the water is necessary. 1t
is also good practice to place
a slight ridge Of soil about the
planting hole to retain the
water supplied from time to
time as needed.

A pyracantha / rooted from
a cutting is about three feet
tall. I am wondering II it is
immaturity or lack Of a COM
panion tree that keeps it from
having berries. Same query as
regards lilac. Same as regards
Chinese holly.
AnStDer
1t is likely that the pyracan-
tina is too immature to fruit,
but If in a shady situation it
may make vegetative growth
rather than flower and fruit.
Also, If there are apple trees
nearby the disease of the apple,
apple scab. sometimes prevents
fruiting even though there is
an abundance of bloom.
Lilacs can be brought to
bloom in three years, but that
would take lots Of watering and
fertilizing. The lilacs should
have a relatively sweet soil for
best growth.
The Chinese holly needs to
be sprayed with a fruiting hor-
none to produce berries, but
spraying will not be beneficial
until the plant is old enough
to flower.

The hollies should be sprayed
