PEIUGO & SON
THE MERE MAN'S
VIEWPOINT
THE FLOWER. GARDEN
By BYKON WILLIAMS
EVERY wuiuou should have a
llower Kiirden, not alone for
the bliisHoms It yields nor for
the udded beauty to the land
scape, but because working lu the soil,
iu the sunlight, lu Cod's out of doors,
Is tonic to the nerves and jieace to the
worried mind.
But every woman does not know
bow properly to prepare a flower gar
deu. It is true that one may grow
some flowers merely by tickling the
ground with a crooked stick, strewing
the seeds hroadeuHt and letting Nature
do her best. This is not satisfactory;
this is merely a makeshift for a posy
bed. fJrowlng flowers, like everything
else worth doing, is worth doing well
If you will follow a few simple In
structions you cun become a real flow
er enthusluHt, for the bed prepared
will give big results and afford ample
bouquets.
In the beginning remember that
most flower seeds are tiny particles.
Yon would not plant a bean tinder a
clod of dirt ns lurgo as your bead and
expect the liean to do much. Neither
should you plunt flower seeds In
coarse, cloddy ground for the same
reason.
To begin at the beginning, spade
Into your soil good fertilizer, being
careful to turn over the ground and
mix It well with the fertilizer. If yon
have some wood ashes strew them on
the surface before starting to spade.
Having spaded the bed, rake off all
the stones, pulverize all the clods,
pack down with a board and, then re-rake.
It Is plain to you that the richest
and finest soil should he on the sur
face, that the tiny seeds may find a
ready root bed. Having prepared the
bed, do not scatter your seeds broad
cast lest when the tiny shoots appear
you cannot tell them from weeds.
Lay a board on the bed, stand on
the board, make a very shallow drill,
any a half Inch deep, and drop your
seeds at regulnr distances. When the
drill Is filled move the board over it
and start unother drill. By standing
on the board you will press the dirt
over the needs Just placed. Every
time you move the board place two
sticks In the edges of the lied to mark
where the row is. It is a good plan
to slip the flower packnge over the top
of the stick to remind yon later what
each row rontnlns. If you are me
thodical keep a register of how many
rows ,re pansles, how mnny calen
dulias, etc.
When the lied is finished do not rake
lightly over the top of It. The weight
of your body on the board will cover
the seeds sufficiently. If you disagree
with this sprinkle a bit of loose dirt
over the rows, but remember that
ninny a flower seed bus failed to be a
flower liocause it has been buried un
der too much soil.
It will be necessary with some flow
ers to thin out the young plants. Here

is a mistake the amateur almost al
ways ninkcs. She thinks it a pity to
dlHturb the tiny phintlets and leaves
them to crowd and tight each other for
supremacy. It Is a great, crying fact
which every flower lover should know
that a few plants, well cared for and
given plenty of room and cultivation,
will entirely surpass a lot of crowded.
sparse slips trying to llnd room.
If you want tine flowers you must
cultivate the soil. Many a flower bed
has been ruined by too much water
and too little cultivation. iKin't be
afraid to scratch among your flowers.
One of the little hand scratchers Is
onvenleut, and how It does ien the
soil for the tonic Nature has readv for
her little friends, the flower roots!
Never water flowers during the heat
of the day. Watch for suckers and
slugs. The aphis may be killed with
almost any spray, even cold water be
ing effective, but tobacco liquid give!
the best results. You can buy the nico
tine mixtures at any dealer's.
Some sts must lie smothered: oth
ers must be strangled or poisoned.
Whale oil soap will answer In cases
where a coating over the Insect Is de
sired, but it Is bad smelling stuff, and
I have had much better success with
iKirde.'iux mixture or nicotine.
Keep your perennials nnd your annu
als In separate parts of the garden.
reretinlnls are olwnys satisfactory be
came they need so little attention aft
er they are once planted. Some of
these will not bloom the first year, but
will last a tng time nffnr once becom
ing firmly established.

Light From Sugar.
This phenomenon, the cause of
which has not yet been satisfactorily
explained, maj be observed when disks
of loaf sugar are mounted on a lathe
and rapidly rotated while a hammer
plays lightly against them. An almost
continuous radiation of light may be
thus produced from the sugar. It has
been shown that the light does not
arise from beating of the sugar, and It
is believed to be caused by some
change taking place in the sugar crys
tals. The act of crystallization is
known to be sometimes accompanied
by flashes of light. The practical bear
ing of these experiments Is on the
question of the possibility of obtaining
artificial light by methods as yet un
tried. Chicago Rpcnrd-IIerald.
