A ' few ' additional ' pointers which Mr. Bauer added were: "Water lilies like a sunny; loca tion, although they will' bloom fairly well in semi-shade.1 Use only one root to a tub, or if you are lucky, enough to have a small pond. ' one root to each . three square : feet. - Unlike other lilies. water lilies should - be planted during the growing season, from April to September.' A new fish added to the pool keep It free from insects and greatly decrease your mosquito supply. In planting the water lily tu ber, set the crown of it Just even with the surface of the soil and eover It with an inch or two of the sand or fine gravel over it. Some growers advise keeping the water level but a few inches over the sand at planting time in order that the ?warm';, sun may better reach it. Then of course, . the water level must be raised until blooming season. 5 i There are a lot of varieties In. the water lily group and some are not at all. suited to the small tub or even the very small pool. The grower from whom you pur- enase your tuber should be able to prevent you making a serious mistake in this line. Among the smaller Tarieties which are list ed for "tub purposes are the red Ulorlosa, the Marllao Rose, which Is fragrant and good for cutting, the., changeable, Paul Harlot, changing from a clear yellow to an orangish-plnk (if you can imagine such a shade), the Yel low, Pygmy,- the August Koch, a deep blue, and -the Gracilis, . pure white.

HOWARD ZINSER t Next -to thorough preparation and' good seed, comes proper fer tilization as a. most, "important factor in' developing a good lawn. Most of the ills of lawn mainten ance are caused-by lack of plant food. There is a tery heavy, drain on soil supporting a lawn because a crop la being harvested every time the lawn Is . mowed, and without fertilisation, : the coil gradually becomes depleted which causes bunchy grass and .weeds and moss creep in to take possession,'.'- t ' 'v-' - Good rotted barnyard 'manure used to be the means t applying plant food. But this is question able" practice now even if it could be obtained because of the eter present weed seeds that get scat tered over the lawn through this method; It Is much safer and Sim? pier to use a good complete com mercial fertiliser, aheep r guano, or a home mixture of nitrate, su perphosphate and muriate of pot ash. Bone meal, blood meal and fish meal are alio good, "Food" la Needed , . Twice Ewh Yw .- s In order to secure a nicely kept lawn tome such plant food as mentioned -should be put on at least, twice a year. If a ' complete commercial fertiliser - la used, broadcast it on at the rate of .25 pounds to the , 1000 square feet of surface once in the fall' and once in the spring. Better still make an application of 10 pounds to the 1000 square feet at inter vals of . two months during - the growing season. ' Be -sure to ' Vet down the lawn Immediately after spreading this type of fertiliser. Soak it in well, otherwise some burn - may, appear. Unless .you used too; much this burned con dition will disappear again in a short " while." I "I .. v."'. c " Sheep guano: Is . a good source of plant food but it Is slower in action than the chemicals and in comparison with, the available ni trates is more expensive. It. does have the advantage "of adding some 'humus material, because it Is an organic fertilizer, . Lawns that are high In. humus react bet ter to the use of chemicals than do those deficient in humus. - Almost , never . put ' lime on a lawn, el they . ih preparation or later.' Lime burns up to some ex tent the humus, makes a soil alk aline which should be somewhat acid for : the; majority, of , good lawn- grasses. It promotes the growth of weeds and moss thrives on a lime sweetened soiL Land; plaster Is of no value except for the small amount of sulphur it will add to the soil. These conclu sions have been reached after much research and are practiced by 1 prominent 7 landscape archi tects and agronomists. -- Weeds Are Cone Of Many Lawns ' Weeds are the curse of a great many lawns. , There are ways of eliminating weeds other than by the time old method of back breaking digging.' Some, of the broad leaved weeds such as plan tain,' daisies,' chick weed and the like will be rendered helpless by an application of sulphate of am monia. A strong solution, even as much as 20 ounces to the gallon, is used in severe cases.: One pound to two and one half, gallons Is safer for most 'purposes. For the best results .this ' should be spray ed on with some force. A small pressure sprayer is a good means of application. This material ! a high nitrate fertiliser and will burn the grass under , these dilu tions but will not injure the crowns and .as soon as .new growth . appears the brown burn ed, grass will become green again. ' This same application Is also very effective against moss. Bake the moss areas well first, then ap ply the sulphate, of ammonia. If the sulphate is put on in the crys tal form it should be well soaked in with water. -After any sulphate of ammon- i . . .'tl.077.10.1a owned...-. w...
