which was a tang! of underbrush,

that It bad been for years classed as
most undesirable, ilr. Crawford ap
praised Its value as a place for a
summer home and acquired the

from a serious illness and in tha
preliminary work lived on the place,
doing considerable of the work, and
In this outdoor life his health was

This lawn la bordered on all sides
with flowering annuals and peren
nials and direotly acroes from the
house on the far side of the lake is
an Iris gsrden, reselling bark Into
th woods. The herbaceous border
surrounding this extensive grass
plot would require a seed-house
catalog almost to describe Its con
Irnts. for it is so extensive that It
allows ample room for flower fancy
to play, but there were two or three
groupings which arrested my atten
tion and one of these was a curve
where the foreground, composed of
saxifraga grandlflora. whose broad,
shiny leaves makes at this time of
the year a well-defined outline, and
back of them were sweet Williams,
so cleverly planted that the flower
shoots looked as If they might be
part of the saxifraga itself. Back
of these were clusters of phlox. Just
now at its best. There was another
cluster In the herbaceous border that

pointed section Jutting out from a

Its first member an outline of lo

majority of the latter flowers were
those la variegated shades and of
tha pattern which I call "Paisley."

color combinations which comet

Water Gardes established.
Not only has Mr. Crawford given
attention to the ground garden, but
he has in the lake established
ater garden, in which several va
rieties of lilies are now flourishing.
He also has got a successful stsrt
with parrot feather, that aquatic
plant which, when well controlled.
Is bound to be a feature of any
water planting. The sides of the
lake are also marked with good
plantings of Iris and clumps of as
jtilbes. To complete his water gar-
!en Mr. Craw ford has stocked the
lake- with game fish, so that now
he can sit on his front porch and
calch his own fish from his own
pond. -
Before 1 leave Mr. Crawford's
special section of Ambleside, and It
is doubtful if I will get away from
It before all my space for this week
Is exhausted, for my mind Is so full
of the things I would like to tell,
there 1s one thin I do want 10
mention. Throughout this tract
there are great clumps of a peculiar
arborvttae. Without a doubt this
is the greatest feature of the entire
location and m saying this I do not
want to detract from the wonderful
beauty and wealth of alder, fir and
especially vine maple, for all of
these, together with other native
shrubs, give a wealth of materia"
seldom found in one locality. These
arborvitae I am unable to Identify,
or rather class, for It la the first
time I hsv ever encountered them
growing In a wild state. Mr. Craw
ford informs me that Mrs. John W.
Mlnto told him that she only knows
of one similar group and that It Is
near Mount Jefferson, but whether
or not they are common in other lo
calities Is of no moment, for we are
considering their beauty.

me than the usual pyramidal ar

that many of them have a height of
14 feet and yet are . probably not
more than six or eight feet In total

these trees on the place, ranging
from mere dwarfs to those which
vie for heights with adjact.nt alders
and firs.
I have already exhausted my
space for one place and yet I have
not touched and even barely men
tioned thet!aces and grounds sur
rounding the homes of Messrs. Rus
sell and Roirers. yet each of these is
as picturesque and as full of interest
as Mr. Crawford's, for each com

the others, one being up on a hill
slde. and reached through a rock
garden of Interest, while the other
is in a more level location, which
has permitted a slight formal treat
ment at one point, and this, by con
trast to the surrounding work of
nature strikes a note that is highly
effective.
. Blrrh Llae l.aae.
But before I leave Ambleside I
must say a few words about the en
trance, and what has been accom
plished by Ed Shelton, the super
intendent of the tract, and a most
expert gardener and plant propo
gator. The drive from the main
road leading to Ambleside is a lane
lined on either side with white birch
trees. At the end of this lane you
come upon a stretch of lawn,
worked on either side with deep
borders and rilled, with a continuity
of blooming perennials and annuals.
These borders end where the drive
way plunges into the forest and
croaaes the first bridge of the creek.
It would be impossible to describe
lo detail the contents of these
borders and other plantings, but
there are one or two features I will
mention. One of these is a wealth
of salplglossls. and the plants, due
to the fine soil and the care given
by Superintendent Shelton. are of
the highest grade. In a little green
house he raises all the plants. The
striking thing Is that they have all
come from his own grown seed. By
careful selection for the last three
years and by saving the largest
flowers In many of the patches and
letting them go to seed he has ac
quired a strain of salplglossie that
are noticeable, not only for their
sise. but also their richness of color
and fine marking. Another feature
of this planting Was a combination
of portulaca. that old favorite of
our grandmothers, andj browallia
t-lata. I have seen the latter grown
quite effectively In pansy beds to
give height and a positive color
note.' but it was the first time I
have ever seen it grown as a cen
ter for a portulaca planting. It is
something you cannot describe, but
I only wish my garden was large
enough to lea me have a similar
planting. Well, I really mint leave
Ambleside and tell you something
about other flowers and what is
doing elsewhere. But we will go
back some time again, for I must let
you know about ar summer vine, to
old-time favorite of mine, which,
when I saw it grown there, was
Juat Ilka meeting an old friend,

I have some good news for the
bulb growers. Despite the many
reports which have come from
abroad the prices of tulip bulbs are
not going to show much change this
fall and In some cases the prices
are going to be less. For this, we
amateurs have to thank our Ameri
can growers. I think this showing
demonstrates the fact that when the
American grower really gets started
and the industry is sufficiently
large to take care of the demand
that through improved methods this
country will be able to overcome the
cheap European labor. While tulip
bulbs will be available there will
be a shortage of daffodils and
narcissi, particularly the paper
whites. The latter are so scarce
and the price so high that a num
ber of florists will not attempt to
grow them.

The Royal Horticultural society
of England, which for a number of
years has had trial gardens for the
testing and developing of new
flowers and vegetables, is now going
to install a rose test garden. In
past years medals In England have
been awarded on roses grown by
professional grower under condi-,
tions far more favorable than to be
found In the garden of the average
, amateur. After such awards the
plants have been placed on the mar
ket and when grown by the amateur
. have often proved unsatisfactory,
! but now to protect the amateur and
show him Just how the rose irrows
1 outdoors the Royal Horticultural
society Is to establish a test section.
Portland Is the first city to -give
such a practical testing of new roses
and that the . work' done here Is
held in esteem Is evident from the
fact that the plan of the Interna
tional rose test eraj-den In Washing
ton park, with tho anerhod of scor
ing and copies of the score sheets,
have all been sent to England to
the royal society there as a guide
i for It to work out Its plan. It will
not be surprising to learn later
that England has adopted the Port
land system, for it has been pro
nounced by leading experts as the
most comprehensive plan for mark
ing roses which has ever been de
vised. v Howard W. Adams, the United
States trade commissioner at The
Hague, has reported to the United
States department pf commerce that
the flower growers of Holland have
Invaded the London flower market
by airplane. The flowers are cut
the night before in Holland and
packed after being allowed to har
den for several hours. The next
morning at daylight they are taken
by motor from the Boskoop district,
where most of the flowers are
raised, to the Waalhaven aerodrome
near Rotterdam and Immediately
dispatched to Ixmdon, reaching the
florists of that city shortly after
noon, so theycan be distributed to
the patrons of the floral shop for
the evening festivities. "
Ants are not usually regarded as
a menace to plant life. In fact many
may have noticed ants destroying
aphis. But sometimes under weather
conditions such as we are having
now. when there Is a long drought.
It has caused the common ant to
become vegetarian. I have friends
who have reported cases of the ants
attacking pantiles and stripping
them of their foliage. England is
also having a severe drought and
reports from there show that not
only are the ants attacking the
plants, but that the lady bird and
various lnsects. usually classed" as
carnivorous, ass acquiring vege
tarian tastes, -it Is to be hoped that
rain will come before the habits
become fixed, for there are enousrh
destructive Insects without Increas
ing the list.
For those who have been look
ing for something to replace the
geranium, although I doubt -If you
will find anything that will quite
do that, there is some cheering news
from Scotland that the new dahlia,
which for the last two years has
attracted much attention in Scot
land and England, will make a
good substitute for geranium from
a color standpoint. I have not. yet
heard of this dahlia, which Is
named Coltness Gem. flowering In
America, therefore do not know
If it will show the same results
here as it has exhibited In Great
Britain. In the .public parks of
Scotland It Is now belnjr used for
bedding purposes. It Is of a dwarf
habit, bearing multitudes of bril
liant scarlet flowers!
A letter from New Tork gives a
suggestion that may be of value to
brides of this fall, for the June
brides developed a new Idea for
greater convenience In holding the
bouquet. Many brides have had the
happiness of the all-important event
marred because the holding of the
bouquet hsd proved disastrous to
the bridal costume, and If the cos
tume was not damaged the holding
of the bouquet has caused more or
less trouble snd certainly worry. A
satin-covered pad has been designed
which fits over the arm. This pad
Is in the form of a small muff,
being about eight Inches long and
three Inches thick. The-bouquet is
fastened to this muff and the muff
slipped over the arm. It Is no
longer necessary for the bride t
hold anything In her left hand.
The freest movement of the hand
and arm are permitted and the
bouquet cannot fall off, a thing that
Is often regarded by the supersti
tious as an omen of 111 luck. .

If you are growing Michaelmas

and find any of the stalks vilting
on you. be sure that you do not
use any of the root which shows
the signs of wilting when dividing
your roots next spring. Investiga
tion by the efxperts of England
show that a fungus attacks the
roots and strangles the shoots. So
far nothing has been discovered
that will remedy the trouble, but
It is advised that no new plants be
propagated from the roots-of any
which show this disease. It is also
advised not to plant the asters in
the same noil from which the dis
eased plants have been taken, for
the spores of the disease are car
ried over In the soil and will renew
their attack if the plants are put
back in the same location. Use the
space for planting soma other crop
not subject to the disease.
I have heard of many persons
who failed In growing the blue, lace
flower from seed" and after discuss
ing the matter with a gardener
friend I think 'the trouble has .been
that the amateur uses too much
water. This garddrier says that he
has raised hundreds of blue lace
flowers from seed, using a heavy
sandy soil. His loss has been, about
1 per cent. He has experienced lit
tle trouble from them damping off
when- grown in well-drained .pots
or flats, but an overdose of "water
either before or after the seedlings
srs first transplanted will cause
great damage.
Problems of the Garde.
1 - have seen so many peopte helped
about their gardens by your department
In The Sunday Oregonian that 1 thought
maybe you would help me. As soon as
my dahlia buds get large enough to be
seen they turn brown by degrees and
finally drop oft. - The very few that
escape enough to bloom are all speckled
brown. 1 have found a number of bugs
Ilk three of the ones enclosed and also
the large bug. What are they and bow
ran I destroy them? Are they the cause
of the dahlia dropping off? Alio l
least bait of my aweet peaa blight,, but
cannot find any buga on them. How
can I atop that? S. B.. Boring, Or. -
Answer The' smaller bug you enr
closed is what- is known 'as- the
'tarnished bug" and Is one of the
most destructive pests In the gar
den. They are particularly notice
able In the rural districts, and seem
to come out of the woods. They are
a sucking bug. similar to the rose
aphis, and while florists' organisa
tions and the government has -spent
considerable money, they have yet
been unable to find anything that
will destroy this pest and the only
thing to do is to hand pick them.
They are particularly destructive
to asters and chrysanthemum and
have caused thousands of dollars of
loss to the growers. I have seen
whole houses of chrysanthemums
destroyed, as these Insects multiply
very rapidly. It requires great skill
and caution to capture them as they
are about as nimble as. one can
Imagine. If a plant has them on and
you touch that plant these little
bugs will move very rapidly and
hide under the leaves, so that it lu
practically Impossible to find them.
In Verge floral establishments men
with especially good eyesight are
employed to go quietly through the
green 'house and catch these bugs.
The time to catch them is early In
the morning, while the atmosphere
Is cold and the bugs axe slugrgisK.
They seem to thrive particularly In i
the country districts and especially,
love golden rod and pig weed. The j
larger bug you sent I have not been i
able to Identify for evidently It got
under the canceling stamps in the j
poetoffice and was badly crushed, i
but from Its general appearance and
character I do not think it is an in
jurious bug. Relative to the blight
on your swatt peas, this is evidently
due to baoterial trouble and insuf
ficiency of soil conditions.
Can you tell me the trouble with my
hydrangea? It buds but only the outer
fringe of petals open wide. The inner
ones either do not open at all or appear
dwarfed and fringe-like almost like a
different kind of flower. Can you teH
m why my holly never bears blooms her
berriea? should it be trimmed? I also
would like to know about trimrain cur
iam and gooseberry bushes.
- MRS. W. F. B.
Answef. Regarding your hydran
gea, you probably have one of
the hybrids of the bortensia type
as some of these bloom in the man
ner you describe. This habit Is re
garded by many persons as one of
the real beauties and features of
that type. If the flowers are no
of the type you desire would sug
gest that you obtain from a reliable
nursery bushes of the paniculata
grandlflora type. Holly is one o
the puzzles of horticulture. I have
known trees which were wlthou
berries for more than five years
but upon being transplanted they
started to have berries and have
continued to do so for the last ten
years, A few days ago I was talk
Ing to an amateur who informed
me that he had a holly that neve
had berries, but one fall he dug
deep all around it and pruned off
the roots and the next year it had
berries and has continued to do so
I have also known of trees which
did not respond to either transplant
Ing or pruning but which had" ber
ries after shoots from a berry-
bearing tree had been grafted in
I have even known this operation
to fall... Likewise I have known
holly trees which were covered with
berries, which when moved ceased
to set berries.
I give you theee facts so that you
can experiment yourself and pos
sibly may have success. Holly should
be pruned to make It bushy and
compact, but would advise you have
an expert do it. The heavy prun
ing should be done in the spring,
but it will not hurt the tree any
if you make liberal cuttings at
Christmas time. As this department
is for flowers" and not fruits . or
vegetables, I would suggest you
consult a nurseryman as to the
prunnine of your currant and
gooseberry bushes.
Iast year I planted several two-year-
old hydrangeas (Hortenala Blue), but
now find they are not blue, but white.
I have seen- them sometimes carrying
shades, through lavender topink. What
variety has this coloring? My plants
have made good growth this year one
nine clusters and .the other 14 smaller
cluH!rs of bloom. Should they be
nruned. when and how much? Should
fertiliser be given them and when this
fall or spring? How about using stable
manure, well rotted and also old rotted
cow manure, as well as lime used on the
farm fields? I might any the soil is
new. never having been cropped or fer
tilized, well drained, but a little clayish.
I have a grove of nine fir trees in the
baok yard. What shrubs or flowers win
grow under them, or rather between
them? It gets dry in summer and .
have to carry water, so would like some
thing that would not require much atten
tion alter tne xirst season, i irieo nas
turtiums this year, but In spite of water
ing them they never grew more than six
inches. , SliHRWUOU AUATtUK.
Answer. Judging from the de
scriptlon you give and not seeing
the plants I believe your. hydrangea
is the lille Moulllere variety. Ther
are a number of pink varieties o
hydrangeas which in the soil about
Portland come blue. Tou probably
may have what gardeners call
white soil and the hydrangeas will
not come blue. Hydrangeas require
little pruning. In my own garden
I usually top them, Just cutting
back one or two eyes, but never
prune them, as pruning is gener
ally unnecessary unless the bushes
get too large and it Is -desirable to
hold their growth In check. Well
rotted cow manure is the best to
use. although if you have horse
manure which has been impounded
It is desirable, on account of the
larger percentage of ammonia it
contains, but unless impounded as
Is done in Europe it has not the
same fertilizing value as cow man
ure. Lime is not necessary unless
your soil has a tendency to sour.
For planting among fir trees I
would recommend vinca minor as
the best ground cover, although In
Portland there are many successfu
plantings of hyerlcum moserianum
or St. Johns wort under fir trees.
Will you please tell me where to find
he rose garden In Washington park? I
found a plot of roses near the tennis
court, but did not think this could be 'the
teat garden. Also will you please give
me the address of the Garden Magazine,
also of any other practical flower mag-
astoe for the amateur?
MRS. M. M., Canby. Or.
Answer. The plot of roses you
saw near the tennis Court In Wash
ington park is the first unit of the
test gardens, that is, If you saw the
larger of the two units. The small
plot toward the north is the place
-where the roses are tested to ascer
tain their disease-resisting quali
ties. In the larger section further
south the roses are tested for their
blooming qualities and their advan
tages for general garden cultiva
tion. You also probably noticed the
work being done on the other units.
This fall the Royal Rosarlan gar
den will be planted and will contain
several thousand bushes and will
represent more than 200 different
named varieties. In front of it will
be the historical and botanical sec
tions and Just north of these will
be the Spanish garden, where there
will be a mass display of Caroline
Test out roses, and adolning this and
bordering each side of the wall
will be the Oregon section and the
gold medal sections. The address
of the Garden Magazine is Garden
City, N. Y. Another paper of value
to amateurs is the Flower Grower,
Calcium, X. Y., and In Oregon we
have the quarterly magazine issued
by the Portland Rose society, which
Is sent to all members. It can be
obtained by addressing the Portland
Rose society, 4Q7 Gasco building.
Will you please tell me what to do for
aster flies? A bug which I am told Is sn
enter fly la attacking my aster and
African daisies. They sting tb leaves of
the asters and the petals of the daisies,
causing the latter to fall out.

had him trim the "bob" so as to give
a smarter shape to her head.
One thing about bobbed' hair
which should be well implanted be
fore the locks are separated from
their lifelong companion is to know
hey mean not less care and atten
tion, but more. They have to - be
just rightly done as to line and
wave or the change is not for the
better.
Miss Ruth bad good eyes, hazel in
color, and mirroring a character
that could win her anything she set
neart upon I now believe. - When I
told her she had lovely eyes she
raid: "I never thought I had, be
cause everything else is so wrong
with me."
Miss Ruth's fingernails were put
through a course of growth and pol
ish that tickled the girl more than
you can Imagine - when 'we got
through. Her main trouble was a
general "what's-the-useiiess" about
Improvement, since : there was' so
much that was wrong, in her opin
ion. Foolish child. They started
out stubby and neglected they were
setting length enough to shape and
file into a semblance of "nice nails
you have seen." The main thing
there was inspiring pride in them.

others she was not doubling up her
f sts to hide the nails, but was find

prldefully. Her hands just naturally
fell into easier and more graceful
peses. -
Relaxation -Is Taught.
Early In her training with me I
taught her how to relax by tha very
flmple process of mentally com
manding herself to relax. She prac
ticed seating herself on the mental
command: "Relax. Relax every
THIRD AND FI1VAI. TREATMENT BY
muscle in the -, body. Relax the
mind!" After a couple of lessons
she could do it with an ironed-out
mind and hands falling Into an easy
position in her lap. So with her
walk. She had the ungainly habit
of walking with her toes at a dis
t'net outward angle. I -made her
practice toeing almost straight
ahead, which, as .well as being the
correct method of placing the feet,
rives a much more pleasing picture.
That learned, the relax order was
applied to the walk; arms and hands
relaxed, hanging easily at the sides,
body held up straight, but-t rigid;
uhoulders not forced back, but held
with an easy stralghtness, chest
out. She walked the length of the
room and back a few times each
day to acquire this free and easy
motion.

Ancient Bank of England
to Be Reconstructed.
Famous Building Has Outgrown
Usefulness to Government.
LONDON, Aug. 12. The long pro
jected rebuilding of the Bank
of England will start almost imme
diately, the Daily .Express under
stands. A meeting of the directors
is to be held soon to make the
necessary financial arrangements.
It is understood that the plana to
be adopted are those of Herbert
Baker, the architect who collaborat
ed with Sir Edwin Lutyens for the
new capitol at Delhi. Mr. Baker
was also the designer of the South
African government's administrative
buildings at Pretoria, and of the
cathedrals at Capetown, Pretoria
and Salisbury (Rhodesia), and the
Cecil Rhodes memorial on Table
mountain.
The staff ot the Bank of England
is now double what it was shortly
before the war, largely owing to the
vast growth of the national debt,
and the existing accommodations are
utterly inadequate. Sections of the
staff have been working for a long
time at various places in the vicinity
of the bank.
A special committee of the direc
tors, including Cecil Lubbock, has
been considering alternative schemes,
for the rebuilding. The idea of
razing the whole ,of the existing
one-story building to the ground
was. it is understood, abandoned,
partly on sentimental grounds and
partly because of the difficulties of
obtaining accommodation for the
staff during the reconstruction. The
present proposal is to retain the
outer wall, which abuts on Thread
needle street, St. Bartholomew's lane,
Lothbury and Princess etreet. This
wall, which entirely surrounds the
site of between three and four
acres, was erected from the designs'
of Sir John Seames about 130 years
ago. eh-ortlv aftei- the Oordon riots,

Ruth confided to me in the begin

cn dress, but she had the unhappy
faculty of always choosing fhe
wrong thing, apparently. The dull
Mack taffeta with most unbecom

supported her remark. She had pa d

Together we went on a shopping

Ruth volunteered that she had $100

In the first place we went there
aung a charming pink georgette
with rounded neck and low bloused
waistline with a large flower at the
waist (the dress pictured above),
made of tha same colored satin
petals, a sort of full skirt gathered
at the waistline. A model frock It
proved to be, marked down to J"fi.
For it we found for $6 a charming
bat with drooping brim of pink
georgette and- trimmed with a big
rose made of the goods. A pair of
white silk stockings we got for
i1.35 and patent leather sandal
pumps for $3.95, which were a size
longer than her former ones and A

difference they made in her feetl
In this outfit she looked perfectly
adorable.
We bought at a bargain counter
the best looking wide blue sailor
with drooping brim trimmed with a
neat grossgrain band and made of
fine, flexible straw for $1. It was
most becoming, youthful and quite
smart. This for everyday wear
with a two-piece navy suit, cape of
PoLret twill and the dress a com
bination of the tw'll skirt and em
broidered linen blouse, the blouse
detachable so that changes of
blouses might be made if desirable.
This dress had the round neck,
wide flowing sleeves and long
waist to allow for slight bloustng;
the cape a full and graceful thing.
This was a bargain model, too $2S.
Two pairs of black silk stockings
at $1 a pair were allowed for this
outfit, and as smart a looking young
miss as she appeared in it you

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism
Mr. James H. Allen of Rochester, N.
T., suffered for year with rheumatism.
Many times this terrible disease left htm
helpless and unable to work.
He finally decided, after years ot
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called crit acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joltirlw and
muscles and expellea from tn body.
With this idea in mind ho consulted
physicians, made experiments and finally
compounded a prescription that quickly
and completely banished eery sign and
symptom of rheumatism from his sys
tem. v
He freely gave his discovery, which he
called Allenrhu, to others who took it,
with what might be called marvelous
success. After years of urslng he de
cided to let sufferers everywhere know
about his discovery through the newspa
pers. He has therefore instructed drug
gists everywhere to dispense Allenrhu
with the understanding that if the ttrst
pint bottle does not show the way to
complete recovery he will gladly return
your money without comment. Adv
