T he
human bodt
is the most complicated mechanism ever
created. Not all of its processes are thoroughly under
stood even by those who devote their lives to a study of
them. It is not surprising, therefore, that persons without
medical training who attempt to diagnose and prescribe
for their own serious ills often do themselves irreparable
damage. Have respect for your body. You can never get
another. When illness comes, consult a physician. He is
a specialist in his line, just as we are in the business of
filling his prescriptions.

HYDRANGEAS ARE BIG
BUSINESS ON COAST
B ecause hydangeas are one of
o u r prineipa’ floral crops, because
they do so well a ’ong the coast,
and because so m any people w ant
to know w hat influences th e ir
color of blooms, possibly wv can
follow through from cu ttin g s to
blooms.
T h ere are two types of cu ttin g s
dorm ant and soft wood.
C om m ercially, dorm ant cu ttin g s
a re ta k ” n around th e first of the
year, rooted, and kept grow ing
on to bloom for the April and
May holidays
Soft o u tlin e s a re taken in early
sum m er, root »d and allowed to
grow into dorm ancy, then re p o t

lowing w in ter or spring.
• Both cu ttin g s should tx* about
tw o and a half or three inches
long and both are rooted in the

is still fresh, best dip it in some
rooting horm one, and stick into
the rooting m edium preferably
sh arp riv er sand w hich has been
m oistened or soil m ay lx1 chanced
or a m ix tu re of
say. half and
half The c u ttin g should be kept
dam p, not too w arm , and out of
tho sun. In about four or five
weeks, gently try to pull the
c u ttin g out of the medium. If it
is sort of stuck, roots are formed
and the cu ttin g s should soon be
potted intc^a th re e inch pot filled
w ith a good, rich, garden soil
m ixture. W hen they get potbound,
shift them e ith e r outside or into
a six or seven inch pot.

cause of the acidity of the soil.
W hile th ere are som e varieties,
notably the w hites, unaffected by
soil acidity, there are m any o thers

w ith florists because they can be

C laude Goldizen had a p re tty good

The good folks couldn't figure it
out for a long tim e until Claude
happened to rem em ber th at when
they had th e ir fireplace put in the

his m o r ta r boat rieht on the gWr*.
T hey wtvre tickled to have the

A tric k to grow ing hydrangeas
