-winter month and early-spring
when other blooming- plants are
apt to be scarce; are tbe Amaryl
lis, Ismene calathlna (Peruvian
daffodil and-the-Gloxlnia.-They
form a. delightful, sequel to hya
cinth, narcissi, "cyclamens ana
; other winter bloomers, and- are
'easily purchased from any large
: seed firm. All three -hare qual
ities rendering them desirable
for winter culture. They are of
easy, .rapid growth, they with
stand adverse household -' con
ditions, and they hold a high
place .- among decorative plants.
They also mar. be said to be
rare, or semi-rare for household
window gardens, at least.
- It requires very little effort to
grow them, the main require
ment being to pot them correctly
at the start.
The Amaryllis will grow In any
good soil, but If possible mix one
part leaf mold to two parts good
loan I for them, - adding enough
sand, to Insure good drainage. If
the soil requires fertiliser, do not
add too much. The method of pot-
..tlna Is a, Terr important one the
size ok the pots should be suited
to the slxret that. bulb. For In
stance; bulbs of about J hi Inches
In dUmeter may be flowered in
four-inch pots.
When potting, fill the pots to
about M inch from the rims, cor
erlng the bulbs for about one-half
their depth, leaving the "necirand
shoulders" bare. If the bulbs are
planted too deep in the pets, they
will . derelop . foliage, and the
flowering as a rule wilf be delay
ed. Tbey should be crown in an
atmosphere that is comfortably
warm. and after flowering should
be watered freely to develop fol
iage. When all danger of frost is
past, they may he taken from the
pots and planted out in the gar

foliage. Pig them up before cold
weather, and store until they are
? wanted again.
The Ismene Calathina (Peruv

same manner as; the Amaryllis, ex

XTnoruestionably. coniferous ev-;
ergreens hare their rightful place
in the ordinary garden or yard,
but we see
them misued sa
-much .thst it
would ; e m
sometimes that
they had better
be left out of
the ' plantings.
Two of the
greatest mis
takes made In
'using them are
plant tng the
wrong varieties
and pi Anting
them In the
the wrong' locations. .
Purpose should be your decid
ing factor in selecting conifers.
There are now conifers for every
purpose. Far too frequently the
wrong ones are used Jn planting;
Fond .a I ant ot them I do, not
enjoy seeing a small boust all hot
crowded off the lot by white pine.
Scotch, pine, Norway pine. Doug
las fir, Canada hemlock, Colorado
blue spruce and others of the tan
growing varieties what "were
such lovely little trees when we
planted them." One has a habit of
growing fond of the things that
bare been with them constantly
for a time and it is difficult to
make up one's mind to remove a
tree that on "planted when Tom
was a year old" even If that tree
is crowding everything out. For
this reason real care should be
used fn selection. The .ultimate
size must be considered.
I have tried to make a list of
evergreens and their "grown-up"
size. A nurseryman ehecked the
list for me so that It would be s
nearly correct as possible.
The columnar type of conifer
which grows from eight to fifteen
green Junlperus Chinese Column
aris. Blue Column - Lawson Cy-
feet tall Include the - blue and
press, America, Pyramidal arbor-
vitae, Hill Silver Juniper. The
'Bush" conifers reaching from
three to six feetat maturity in
clude Pfitser Juniper, Japanese
Table Pine (Pinus .Tanyosha Glo-
bosa).. Dwarf Japanese Yew (Thu
ya Bouglassl A urea) and the Si
berian Arber.Yltae (Thuysv Siber
ica).,In the ereeplnr vergr
class those reaching frera 1 to
2 feet taU and. wUh a spread atJ
maturity of from eight to fifteen
feet in diameter, we have the
creeping juniper; ( Juniperas Hor
iiontslis), Waukegan Juniper, Jn
niperas - Sabine . Tamahissifolla
(which is a lovely thing In spite
of its name), Jd Parsont Com
pacts Abor. yitas: (Thuya Com;
pacta). t r, -u;- . :.; ri
I The latter group 1- good ' for
rockeries and : ground covering.
The other two groups are partic
ularly good for foundation plant-
log where their slxe fa suitable. :
' , A nurseryman listed the follow
ing for Individual speciman plant
ing on la wi. which can ears- for
individual specimens: tajr vane
ties Koster and the Colorado
Blue Spruces, Blue Colum cypress,
Norway Spruce (Picen Excelsa),
Red Cedar . (Junlperus ' ylrglnl
ana). and most of the pines, flrn
and Hemlocks. Some nice ones
not quite as tall as these are the
Hinekl cypress, Arrowhead spruce
and Irish Juniper, Swiss Stone
Pine (Plnus Cembra), Silver Ce
dar (Junlperus Glauca) the Pyr
amidal Red cedar. For low grow
ing specimens there are the Mug-
ho Pro, Koster Red cedar, Jap
anese Tew (Texas Cuspfdata Bre-
viioua) and any amount ot otn
ers.
All the Junipers seem to like
light soil so that it you hare some
poor soli a a sultabl place for a
Juniper you have a fortunate com
bination. Practically all the Jun
ipers stana pruning well and, in
fact most of them are benefitted
by it, growing denser and more
snapely.
It Is well to study conifers well
before selecting them. Usuallr the
small, slow-growl a. g- varieties are
toe most expensive, but if your
space Is small It Is better to se
lect one of these or no conifer at
all. The best place to study the
conifer is In a large nursery. Ths
grower wn knows his varieties
can tell you whieh ones may be
uejwnaaa upon to stay small and
how to prune them to keep them

things In the Salem Garden club
series of meetings this " fall and
winter will be the illustrated
English garden lecture . which
will be given by Mias Edith
Schryvei1 Npvember , 23 at .the
Congregational church.
The pictures were taken by
Miss Elizabeth Lord and Miss
Schryver when they were tour-
Ink Europe visiting gardens and
studying. Miss Schryver did the
coloring ot those pictures which
are tinted.
The lecture was given - before
one session of the state garden
dab convention members and
proved so popular and interesting
that Vtss Schryver, .has been
prevailed upon to i give It again
for Garden club members and the
public ot Salem that car to
corns. A slight admission charge
will be. made for this lecture and
the proceeds will be used by the
Garden club for needed expense
money. .
The Interesting travel evening
that these pictures furnish for an
audience is an appeal to all those
Interested In far-away places
even though they lit la apart
ment houses and hare no place
to put a garden.
They also have a lath house to
grow shrubs In. and th mm
frames for evergreens, in ft
real nursery. Three grades of Jun

THIS Is a tale ot Salem, al
though It might well bare
been one of any city where

I have a favorite seat In that

On this particular occasion I
groped my way to my favorite

The chair seemed to havo been
reupholstered heavily, and tho
upholstery wiggled. Further
more, it made a sound which in
tho darkness was alarming. A
human sound.
It was, in short, the sound of
a female in distress. I presume
there is In aU the vast sange of
human sounds none so terrible as
that made by a female In dis
