H.S.O. wants to keep her Afri can violet blooming. The plant is tropical, and of the gloxinia fam ily. It Is often called saintpaulia after its discoverer, Baron Walter Von Saint Paul. When the plant comes from the florist, it should be placed in a saucer, and put In an eastern exposed window for 24 hours. Give it two hours of sun each day (if we have that many from now on) and then place It la a strong light for the rest of the day. .Never permit water to touch the leaves or crown. Water from the saucer. Feed the plant once a week with a balanced com mercial fertilizer, using a tea spoonful to a quart of water. Keep the ground moist but never soggy. A little fresh air, but no cold winds, is also good for them. The above was given me by a grower who has proved quite suc cessful. Daffodils Like Dark Mrs. O.D.L: Plant your daffo dils so that the nose 'just pro trudes from the soIL The pot snouia be lined with good garden soil to within a half-inch of the top. Leave the pot In a dark place for five or six weeks (some flor ists say 10 weeks) before bring ing it out to the light. Forcing may be starred then, and the. tem perature kept at about 50 degrees. Da not place in- a direct sunlight. xne warmth and light may be in creased gradually but do not place the pot in a warm room until the flowers are really out. . N.S.A. Some folk advise tak ing up the Ugridias for winter storing and others say they do very well it left in the ground all winter. Mrs. H. A. Beaucamp, of Stsyton, whose lovely garden speaks for her knowledge of grow ing things, tells me that she has left her tigridias in the ground oyer winter a number of times and that it has not seemed to harm them at alL Those who advocate taking them up each year also ad vocate treating them just as one wouia gladiolus. Lilies-of-the-valley may be re planted now, Mrs. T.S.. although it would hate been better had it been done earlier. But if the lily- of-the-valley bed is allowed to be come crowded the flowers become iewer ana smaller aa tne years speed on. Dig up the clumps and divide into smaller pieces, setting them three or four inches apart when replanting. Plant them about two inches below the sur face of the soil. Adding a few scilla bulbs to the bed will give you a pleasant surprise in spring. me scnias and lliy-or-the-valley enjoy each other's company and the gardener enjoys the company of the two together. They both nice a little sun each day, but longer periods of shade Morning sun suits tnem best. A good leaf mold mulch Is also appreciated. Miss E.S.S.-'-Yes, I .have been told than an herb "mix" .will form as efficient, a moth protection ' as moth balls, and certainly it would be much njcer to have : around. An old- recipe calls for. halt . a pound each - iot ' dried - -rosemary. mint,.tansy,and thyme.mixed with two taoiespoonfula- of ground doves and stored U tight boxes.

Attend Pie Social AtBIonmouth STIVER The Barents of 'the children- attendinr Monmonth training school from the Surer Mrs. A.D.T. wants to know know when wild flowers should be planted. She wishes to make an extensive planting. Natur ally, this would depend some what upon what kind of wild flower she would wish. Generally speaking, most wild, flowers move very well in autumn, and most of them move almost as well In spring. Care in planting them is essential. Nature should be closely as possible. Mrs. A.D.T. especially wants to know about springbeauties, wild bleeding hearts, Erythronlums, and the mission bells. These would really oe much better for next spring if they were plai3d now, but unless their locations were carefully marked last spring, they would be difficult to find now. They may be purchased, however, and this Is really the better way, particularly for the new beginner with the wild things. There are a couple of houses on the coast which make a specialty of grow ing native flowers, and the plants are not expensive. When It comes to planting these native plants, ara should -be tak en -Xn getting the right depth. It might be well, it one is ordering them from a . dealer, to ask him td specify on each package the best depth at which to plant. More ladyslippers are lost from deep planting than from any other cause unless it Is planting them in too hard a soil. The crown ot the true ladyslipper should not be more than an Inch below the sur face of the soIL The little lady slipper orchid which we. have here wants its roots in an inch of leaf mold. Iris Beds Lovely Most of the wild Iris should have their rhizomes even with the surface of the soil. I do not be lieve enough use is made of our native iris. I have seen a few solid beds of tnese which were, very lovely for quite a long period of time. We hare them In almost ev ery shade of blue, and in yellow as welL Wild Ginger also does well when transplanted ptoperly. In fact, the little cop-like flowers are much-larger if given the correct place to grow. A Jeafmold mulch and considerable shade are among the requirements. Trilliums also improve. These may ' be purchased and planted this fall for early bloom next spring. Given a shady place where they will receive a leaimold mulch and will remain undisturbed, each year will find them larger in in dividual size and in the size ot the clump. The -mission bell .does not re quire shade. In fact, it seems to hare, ltle. In the - line of require ments.' It will grow very nicely under oak trees or In. the open. i"WL.O7 Ybut garden, furniture should i1e jrot; awy ;during the winter,: Don't Jronhare . space in your garage or Jn your, basement! It is well to do the necessary re pairs to the furniture before stor lng ' It. Unbleached- cotton - strips are useful to swaththe furniture in so that they emerge fresh' and clean la the. spring. Leaving the furniture out over winter Is. apt to warp it and otherwise spoil it for next year's ose. ; Cut Back Perennials FX It is best to cut back your perennials .when they hare finished bloomings This applies to the perennial phlox, ahasta dai sies,- pyretnrama Gauaratas ana Gnemt which' you: mention. Del phiniums should 'also be cnt hack. As a rale It is best to pnt a collar of. sand or ashes-about the del phiniums and Foxgloves for the winter. This will -keep the water from settling In too heavily about the crown' and rotting it during the wet weather. Also ashes and sand tend to "keep kings from chewing oft the crown during the winter and early spring. . Mr. BMJcL has difficulty In keeping the -eat from scratching the bark of her trees. Wrapping them might help.. Frequently gar deners wrap their - trees 'during winter anyway to keep the rab bits from eating the bark. This Is done particularly with - young trees. The United States depart ment ot agriculture advises-gardeners to spray "the flowers, shrubs and young trees with a ni cotine sulphate.
