the first one, unfolding its
splendor of leaf and blossom
into unrestricted space. This
second blossom stem is at
tached to the first with a bit
of wire, made invisible by the
foliage.
An easy device holds these
flowers to the back rim of the
container. A piece of strong
soldering wire is bent into a
U shape. The open ends are
firmly pressed over the rim OF
the glass, so that the loop is
inside the container and can
hold the stems. When every
thing is in place, a bit of scotch
tape will hold the ends of wire
firmly to the outside of the
glass.
The peonies in the shorter
container were arranged in the
same manner. The simple
gadget helps preserve the
translucent beauty of the glass
containers. No ugly holder or a
clutter Of stems are showing
TranSlucency is a precious
quality which enhances the

Ways to Keep Garden
Always in Flower

Continuous Towering beauty
can be achieved by home
owners by changing the plants
in their garden or patio living
area to supply steady bloom
most Of the year. BY having
several small gardens or a hall
dozen tubs in which plants are
changed often, the whole prop
erty can be made brighter and
ore cheerful for longer
periods.
According to the American
Association of Nurserymen, the
following changes of plants can
be made from spring to fall:
/. In the early spring, tulips,
daffodils, hyacinthS and other
Towering bulbs.
2. AS bulb flowers fade, they
can be changed to spring flow
ering shrubs, azaleas, rhodo-
dendronS or many other plants
that are available.
8. Next would come roses and
annual flowers; all ready to
bloom. With a little expert
mentation many beautiful COM
binations of plants can be
achieved. A few tree roses give
added beauty. Flowering and
shade trees complete the pic
ture.
4. When the summer flowers
are waning, chrysanthemums
and fall asters in bud can be
set out in combination with a
fall foliage shrub. Fall planting
Of roses prepares for the fol-
lowing spring.
5. For winter, evergreens can
be used, perhaps to be deco
rated with lights at Christmas
time, or camellias can be plant
ed if the tubs are carried in
doors on a cool but unheated

By WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN

Star Garden Editor
When plants and shrubs
drown in poorly drained soils
the gardener should not give UP
in disgust. This should be
looked upon as a challenge be-
cause there are many ways in
which to overcome such a con-
dition. The solution is, of
course, to carry away the ex-
cess moisture or, to put it
another way. to give the plants
a situation where air can get
to the roots.
Where there is a consider
able area to be improved, tile
drains may be the answer. This
can be accomplished by digging
the beds to a depth of l8 inches
or more and lay a tile drain in
the bottom which will carry
excess moisture away to some
outlet. This may be somewhat
of a problem in level areas
since the outlet must be lower
than the bottom Of the beds to
be effective.
For smaller areas, especially
around the foundation. raised
beds may be the most feasible
answer.
For shallow rooted plants the
beds need not be more than four
inches above the level of the
ground, but for deeper rooted
plants the bed will need to be
higher.
The four-inch depth will per-
NIT the growing of iris, Madon-
ma lilies and similar plants
which cannot tolerate wet feet.

enclosed porch, or even tropical
foliage plants if carried inside
the house.
There are innumerable COM
binations of plants to afford
new flower scenes. Pots or
tubs of plants changed often
keep the whole property fresh
er and more colorful, without
entailing great expense be-
cause the plants are changed
only in small areas rather than
over the whole property. In
tubs, many plants that are ex-
extremely beautiful but diff
cult to grow because Of ad-
verse local soil conditions, can
easily be maintained.
For a few months of summer
in the north, one could even
have lovely tropical Towering
plants in his garden living
room if they are desired and
available. Consult with your
nurserymen for combinations
you can use in changing gar
den living areas fairly often
in order to keep your property
at peak beauty. Redwood or
other long-lasting tubs for
plants are obtainable prac-
tically everywhere. Many home
owners already change from
spring bulbs to ANIMALS in beds,
but there are numerous other
changes that can be adopted
with profit.

You Can Create
Beauty
With Flowers
Single Peonies Possess Charm
BY MRS. HERBERT n. GREGER.

Peony time in my garden
starts about the first week in
May and lasts well into June.
My Oriental peonies and the
lilacs are contemporaries, and
the later peonies of European
ancestry sun themselves when
the roses and mock orange are
in full bloom.
Above all I love the single
peony. The clear cut form,
with radiating siiken petals
surrounding a fllmy powderpuff
of pollen, has a shimmering
beauty. Single peonies hover
like luminous flying saucers
high above strong and beauti-
fully lobed leaves.
These perennials are cher
ished old friends Of the gard
ner. They bloom year after
year in continuous profusion
with little demand but for food
and plenty of water during dry
spells.
AS so often happens, during
the years the label was lost
and no specific name can be
attached to my pretty peonies
arranged in a pair of glass con-
tainers. Originally. they came
Holland, almost 20 years ago.
In the center of each bios
som sits a chatty group of
three or five or more little
deep red ''peony-hens".> - This
sassy company occupies the
most queenly Silken nest i'm
aginable. Of course. these
hens" are the fruiting bodies.
Ever since my childhood,
early summer and peonies are
of special significance. Turned
loose in the garden I was per-
mitted to pick flowers and
leaves and play with them as
I pleased. Poppies became bal
lerinas, I had a yard full Of
little red and green "hens," a
hat store where leaves became
bonnets with flower plumes and
I was busy making sand cakes
decorated with gaily colored
flower petals. There never was
a lull in activity.
Originally, the containers
used today were an identical
pair, but, as so often happens
with glass, one of them became
nicked and had to be reduced
in height. They are still a
beautiful pair, but of the Mutt
and-Jeff type, and much more
interesting.
Two square wooden plaques,
which repeat the pattern of the
containers, are used as a base.
The taller of the containers
stands to the rear. A strong
stemmed peony lightly touches
the bottom Of this container.
Air bubbles have settled on the
surfaces of leaves submerged.
A second peony rises tall above

Poorly Drained Soil?
Raise Flower Bed

Peonies. Oriental poppies and
similar deep roofing plants
however, should not be at
tempted in shallow beds.
Raised beds can be made at
tractive with brick, metal OF
even wooden edges (the wood
should be treated with a ROT
preventative) to hold the sol
in place. Some of course will
object to such edgings since
they add to the job of trim
ming the grass but this can be
easily overcome by laying a
row of bricks fiat and even with
the soil in such a way that the
grass will grow next to the up
right bricks or other materials
The lawnmower will then dc
the trimming.
Pieces of field stone are often
used for this purpose but it is
difficult to keep grass and weeds
from growing between them
unless they are set in concrete.
Also. unless small pieces of
rock are used they take up a
wider area than most gardeners
care to spare. 1t is often diff
cult to get stones of soft in
conspicuous colorS which are
needed if the beds are to be
attractive.
The soil in the raised beds
should be prepared as in ether
beds. deep digging with COM
post mixed into the soil to
keep it friable. Peatmoss usual
ly is considered too retentive OF
moisture to be desirable for the
lower portion of the bed. 1t is
best mixed into the surface soil

Negro Press
Continued from page s.

Both dailieS maintain Negro staff
members and print copiouS copy con-
cerning the race. Yet, one finds in
that city the Call and Post" one of
the most successful Negro weeklieS.
One of the great truths Of this
healthy dual existence of agencies
that seemingly conflict is the contin-
ual migration of southern Negroes,
who must look for orientation and
guidance from a paper that knows
best their problems and desires.
Since the North Star" was first
published by Frederick Douglass over
a century ago in the cause of aboli-
ton, the Negro paper has, with ac-
curate foresight, changed its course to
match the trends of the time.
For instance, the hue and cry of
the 1905 was Don't Buy Where
You Can't Work" The records
will show that here was the real
starting point of job equality, if only
in neighborhood stores. Today, with
integration progressing at reasonable
pace in some localities, the Negro
press, with careful scrutiny, has dedi-
Gated itself to searching the current
issues in their relation to the inter-
est of the race. What is good for the
city as a whole, is not necessarily
good for the Negro, and therefore
Negro papers must oppose it. The
same principle and practice is justi-
fiably pursued by other specialized
groups, wherein the humanized angle
appears less important than monetary
gain.
Editors and reporters (who soon
realize there must be some easier
way to make living) are, as rule,
incorruptible and courageous in their
convictions. If they seem, at times,
inept, this is human fault, not one
reflective of the entire craft. For
aside from his many-sided facets of
covering weddings, funerals, sports,
crime, cultural activities, often within
a few given hours, Negro editor
must write stories, headlines, make up
the pages, take photos, develop them,
sell advertisements, keep books and
often sell papers. Quite an order, even
for a dedicated individual. In the
operation of daily paper, each of
these duties is a distinct, good-paying
job
Whenever an all-enduring Negro
paper fails, it most certainly stems
from one or two causes: poor techni-
cal quality or failure to truly repre-
sent its segment of society. Indeed,
the most unlettered Negro seems to
possess a strange seventh sense that
ultimately detects a papers failing its
prime purpose.
Several years ago Los Angeles
paper experienced the futility of stray
ing from the straight and narrow of
racial rights. The founding editor of
the paper had fought successfully for
integrated businesses and supported
candidates, not parties, whose records
indicated friendship to the Negroes
When he became i'll for several years,
the paper was managed by another
individual, who inaugurated COM
plete switch in policy. "Great things"
were promised the interim editor
when the paper, during the senatorial
race, supported conservative candi-
date over liberal, proven friend of
the Negro. The conservative won, but
no signs of ''great things" were forth
coming for the paper. To make GER
tain the downtown political bosses
would not look askance upon the
paper and renege on its promises, the
new editor decreed that the Negro

No Age Limit For
Soc. Sec. Cards

Glenn Gardner, manager of the
Billings social security office. stat
ed today that one of the most fire.
quently asked questions i'm his Of
lice is: "How old do you have to
De to get a social security card?"
he stated that their answer to this
question is always the same = no
age limit; that the person can be
one year or a hundred year of age.
Gardner added that the only
time they think about age of the
applicant for a social security card
Is where the applicant is under 81
years of age and working for his
parent. The reason for this is that
a son or daughter under 81 work
ing for a parent is not covered by
social security. No security tax
deductions are to be made and
the parent is not to report the
wages paid. If a son or daughter
works only for his parent he
would not need a card until he is
II years of age.
Many people believe that social
security tax deductions are to stop
when they reach age IS, Gardner
said. He explained that this is not
true, as again there is no age limit
if a person lives to be 100 years
of age and has earnings covered
by social security, he is subject to
the tax the same as he was when
he was IS.
