THE solution of one Of Natures greatest
mysteries the miracle of sleep
comes closer to fulfillment today as doc
tors study the results of new tests and
new experiments.
This new research brings new hope to
millions of Americans who have trouble
getting to sleep nights. for it promises
you at last safe. medically-proved way
to gef to sleep and stay asleep without
taking habii-tomins dr"es'
As a result Of these new findings. SCI
entists today warn us that sleep is more
important to good health and mental
ability than we had ever realized.
Sleep is Natures own magical restora-
tive Without sleep. many of us would die
of exhaustion within seven days.
The dangers Of sleeplessness
Unless you get adequate sleep regularly.
the effects of sleep-starvation can lead TO
serious physical and mental difficulties.
SIeeplessness can affect our personali-
ties. cause irritability, tension. nervous
ness. Il drains our vital energies: leaves US
feeling exhausted. WORKOUT. II slows
down our bodily refexes, affects our job
performance by making it difficult to
function efficiently. II can even cause
mental difficulties mental lapses.
I. How much sleep do you really need?
Probably more than you think!
One authority estimates that out OF
10 Americans probably need al least 8
hours sleep night. Many who regularly
try to get along with less than hours are
gambling with their future health.
2. How many people have trouble sleep
ing?
Roughly over halt the people in the
United States repeatedly have trouble get
ting to sleep nights or staying asleep.

Already proved safe as aspirin. this new
sleeping discovery is now available with
out prescription in easy to take tablet
form under the trade name of Nytol.
4. Why Is NytOl better than old fash
toned sleeping pills?
Because it's so safe. Instead of "drugging
you to sleep like old-fashioned sleeping
pills, Nytol simply reiaxes you to sleep.
II relaxes your nerves.. .reIaxes tensions
so you get to sleep naturally! And when
you wake up in the morning, there's alb

S. Has science really proved all this?
Yes. Nytol offers a combination of proof

"Proof "A"-The results of actual tests
on volunteer subjects, conducted by one
of Americas best-known sleep special
lists, proved those who took Nytol CD got
to sleep faster; ~ got more uninterrupted
sleep; and ~ woke up more alert

Proof ga special hospital test
proved that even though it is NOT habit

is as effective as phenobarbital!

to these definite conclusions:

Undoubtedly the new hybrid
Rocket snapdragons head the
list Of new things for 1860.
Bred especially for long-day
midsummer blooming, they are
much more heat tolerant than
those we have grown in the
past. With hybrid vigor they
should make a material contri-
button to our gardens. There are
six variety colors of the Rock
cts: Red Rocket, Golden Rock
EFT, Rose Rocket, White Rock
ct, Orchid Rocket and Bronze
Rocket. The latter two are
lavender and tangerine in col
ors. These newcomers are base
branching and grow to 8 feet
with flowers proportionately
large.
Vanguard snapdragon is the
first double-fiowered snap to
merit all-America recognition.
Each bloom has extra petals
or petaloides that make it ap-
pear exceptionally large. Van
guard is q true hybrid, rose
pink enh need with lively
golden yellow lips. 1t may be
expected to reach 21a feet in
height, and to produce a num-
Der Of long spikes which should
appear ahead Of the Rockets.
The plant breeders always
complicate names to emphasize
the newneSs Of this or that
variety. Now we have Tetra-
ploid Glamour, a new and at
tractively colored phlox. Clam
our has large-sized florets and
flower heads on a 12-inch
plant. The color is described
as mid-salmon, shaded deeper
towards its creamy white eye.
New MarigOlds
Two new marigolds keep us
up-to-date with developments
in that field. Spun Gold has
huge three-inch flowers on a
12-inch mounded plant. They
are Of the chrysanthemum

deayored to create contrasts Of
massed and airy space. The

and around such areas giving
an esthetic satisfaction.
Fruit grouped without con-
sideration of space can look
completely overstuffed, especi-
ally when you are guilty of
filling every little hole" with
an almond or a hazlenut, rob-
bing the individual fruit of its
characteristic contour. More
terrible still is the result when
fruit is scattered into a bedding

Mechanical Coupling
Now there is a little trick
that you must use If you wish
to be the master Of your work.
Mechanically it is impossible to
rest an apple on top of a
banana without gravity play
ing its usual role. To thwart
gravity, you simply insert a
toothpick into the apple where
you want it to touch the banana
and the two should stay
fastened. Since one banana
refused to hold its position,
two toothpicks were mechani-
cal aides in my composition.
The grapes were grouped into
dense, luscious clusters that
resemble their natural pendant
posture. This can be done by
taking some Of the individual
grapes and filling the openings
that occur when the clusters
are laid down. Be sure that
you insert these grapes stem

Temperature Of Soil
Can Top lao Degrees

In a recent report of the New
Mexico Extension Service, II
was shown that the tempera-
ture Of a dark-colored, unpro-
tected soil can reach l40 de-
grees or higher, during a hot
sunny summer day.
Light soils absorb about 80
per cent of the suns radiation,
while dark soils can absorb 80
per cent or more.
These high temperatures are
found only in the top inch OF
soil. but they cause a great
deal Of damage to the soil bac-
terra, organic matter, and veg
citation and result in extensive
loss of moisture.
Shade provided by mulch or
vegetation can cool soil % to sc
degrees. according to this
report.
This is only one of the
several reasons for summer
mulches.
The roots Of roses and many
other plants cease to function
under such high temperatures.

Lilac Survived
Ice Age Trop'
Of High Alps

First European to take note
Of the lilac was q Flemish
scholar and traveller, deBus-
becq, who found it in gardens
in Constantinople, where he
was sent as Ambassador by the
Austrian Emperor, Ferdinand
I, in the middle 1500s. The
tulip was brought into garden
use by deBusbecq at the same
time.
1t had been supposed that
the lilac came to Turkey from
the Orient, but early in the
l800s it became known that
common lilac was q native Of
the Balkans. 1t is a part Of q
fora pushed southwark at the
time Of glaciation, which es-
capped the death trap of the
high Alps, where presumably
there was a great destruction
OF woody plants Europe Is
deficient in kinds of native
trees and shrubs in comparison
with our continent or Asia.
What did survive are tough
ened, hardy plants, such as
the horse chestnut, smokebush,
European barberry, wayfaring
tree and viburnum lantan.
Certainly this continental
origin with its hot summers
and cold winters has given us
a plant which the pioneers
could take with them into the
harsher climates Of our interior
country. There is a southern
limit, however, to effective lilac
culture. F. L. Mulford once
defined the border line in a
United States Department Of
Agriculture farmers bulletin as
the point where ice of sufficient
thickness to hold the weight Of
small boys forms on shallow
ponds. Many who have retired
to Florida regret they have no
success with lilacs.
