as petunia seeds, can be sprink-

tamped lightly. If you have
difficulty spreading the fine
seeds. mi xthem with sand and
they will be easier to handle.
Out-of-door seed can be sown
in rows, or broadcast, depending

When sowing indoors, re-
member that seeds need
warmth to germinate but they
don't need light. Cover the seed
boxes with newspaper until
they germinate and then give
them full light by a warm win
dow. Keep the containers where
temperatures run from so to 10
degrees until the seeds sprout.

The book is well illustrated
with black and white drawings,

delightful and whether you ex-

about it. For example. Mr..
Chidamian goes into the why

meel-ya rather than ca-mell-
Ia as they use 1t in Louisiana
or more strictly as 1t was

The book covers the field very
thoroughly for the amateur.
Much emphasis is placed upon
good varieties, many Of which
the author names (and they
should be checked against the
recommendations of the Camel

Valley. The preparation OF
the planting hole is given great
emphasis as it should be be-
cause the camellia is an unde-
manding plant once properly
planted. For the advanced
amateur there is a good dis
cussion Of growing plants from
seed. the use of cuttings, and
grating. There is a chapter
on the control of insects and
diseases which will undoubtedly
be a factor some day in this
area. So far we have not
been troubled in this respect.

and commander-in-chief OF
the Virginia Colony, ordered a
frontier militia force organized
in the Staunton area.
The force, commanded by
Col. James Patton, consisting Of

West Virginia. 1t also included
part OF Pennsylvania.

Today companies B and D,
with headquarters in Staunton,

Muster Day is said to have
developed from the traditional
day for the annual roll call
and inspection of those colonial
units. That was the day when
every militiaman and his uni
form, what there was of it.
were shined to the nth degree
and he brought his family or
best girl for roll call and in
Spection.
Gov. Dinwiddie raised a Vir-
ginia regiment in 1883 to with
stand the French threat to the
British settlement west of the
Blue Ridge. The Augusta
County militia was a part of
this regiment, and George
Washington was a lieutenant
colonel, later its commander.
Another Of the officers in this
group was Archibald Alexander.

Of Staunton. present deputy
brigade commander OF the 29th
Division.

The Augusta County militia
also fought in the Battle of
Fort Necessity, and was among
the troops under Gen. Brad
dock when he was defeated on
his way to the Ohio Valley.
