THE HOME GARMS .?7;,vw a Garden ? -1 Convcb. Yieloria. LatelrangKin,v;. Qu-iW. The development ol the aster has it nee.ls the same conditions of tti Poor Bojs Who Became Great By Frederick Houk Law her, work tirelessly, and he Ifi lends, but acquired little SCHI IIEKT, THE COOK'S SON, THK (iHKAT MI SICIAN, I'.liza'betn il'H;:, ex-cook, and her, work tirelessly, and he mud hudjnnd, Krunz, whoso father had been u peasant, wondered what was to become of their little son, Franz Ihchubert. The boy was ion f too strong, and nine other children hae died. At evenii.g, the father took his evolved two fairly distinct tyis the comet type and the late Drancniiig type. The comet is of European origin. It is the fluffy outcurved t'pc. The late branching type is incurved. Both have developed into wonderful giant sizes rivaling the chrysanthemums. The feathery more graceful comet typo is favorite with some growers and the sturdier and more durable late branching type, nn American de velopment, is the choice of other grow ers, lloth should be grown for suc cession. The comet type includes the giant astermums ,thc giant ctego, tho giant comet, the nukado and the ostrich plume t'pc. Tho late branching type include tho name class, the king class, the new American beauty class, latest of all and a most valuable addition to the aster family, and others Besides these two distinct types thero is the early Queen of the Mar- jVet class, earliest of all, and the older Victoria type, a flat and more formal flower, suggestive uf the chrysanthe mums or the pompom class in form. The Crown asters, having white cen ters belong in the Victoria class as do the Daybreak varieties. However, the comet and late branching kinds are displacing the older Victoria typo in popular favor. The single Marguerite asters, a sin gle form of the comet class, unusual ly graceful and decorative, are rapid ly gaining in favor. These daisylikc flowers do not suggest the aster nt flint sight. They are likely to become more popular as they are better known, a daisy-like flower always be ing valued for bouquets. ' The 'Asf'r Beetle. One of the chief griefs of a garden er is that with the development of any favorite plant, there usualiy develops along with it some insect or fungus pest to destroy his hopes just when 1 1 they seem about to be realized, and no plant has a greater handicap in some sections than the aster. This is a black beetle about un inch long that fiocks in by the hundred and literally cats the blossoms and opening buds off the plunt. O'tcn it will do tho damage before its presence is discovered, and even if the plants J arc aprayed with some arsenate of 1 1 lead solution, the beetles have to take J a few mouthfuls before the poison l and moisture, the best results ano tne largest roots are obtained if tht seedlings are transplanted ir.t i indi vidual pots before they are set ink the ground. In order to make tho root grow deeper and develop more su'jstun-e many gardeners rake the s-m! away from the top of the root as it devi-l '?. until nearly the entiro root is abovi the ground. This send the feeding roots down deeper and develops great er depth of root. Sweet Pea Secrets. Everybody wants sweet poll. No annual gives more beautiful flowers for cutting and this plant is particu larly useful fur cutting. It makes a WRONG WAY TO PLANT SWEET PEAS IN CLUMPS. i . SWEET PEA PlNT READY TO TRANS PLANT OUTDOORS. PCOPER" METHOD OF PLANTING SWEET PEAS IN CUJMPi. will not endure hot, dry weather and flourish. Consequently they must bo planted early. If tho ground is work able in 'March they should be pi. in, planting them deeply, say about two inches. It is much surer and safer to plant them in pots or boxes or in a cold frame for an early start. The pap-r flower pots of small size which can i'ie very cheaply purchased or the paper drinking cups which cm b'l Iw.J at a smut! outlay arc ideal for tail ing the' ftulh'idual plants, prickirg holes in the water cups for dr.iiiuq.o. They may lie started at any lime and it is a good plan to ha.e some light sticks seven or eight inches long if they must be kept indoors r.r t r.vr glass for some time upon which the liny plants may start to dim . Other wise they become hopelessly eu-angl',d and almost impossible to transplant to permanent quarters. Sweet pea growers nre with gie:t difficulty weaned from tho !,abit of thick planting of the seed, niti 'h the same as with the garden pea. The idea of spacing the individual plants six inchoR nl'art is hard to convoy 10 an old fashioned gardener yet one season's experiment with the plants so spaced the soil being thoroughly enriched and a good supply of moist ure supplied shows the advantage n thu greatly increased vigor of the vino, size of the stem and height to which it will climb, to say .nothing of larger and nioro numerous flowers lcr plant. These little pots may be placed in a cold frame for an early start, or beautiful display for a time but i s real value is to provide bouque rf for the house. - No one can have sweet pe:n with out giving them an extra start.

This! is a hard trouble to combat, but a dressing of lime on the soil is recom mended. It will do no harm in any event, but will be of benefit to the plants.
