Back of each mvth there ia " usually some foundation of truth. It may be back quite a bit, or it jnay be covered up pretty well, but if you dig it out. there it is. 1 This grain of truth being pres ent is very much so in reference to garden legends. Grandmother wasn't lust superstitious or queer when she put nails or other iron material around her hydrangeas Ho keep the color bright Since G randmother - gardened. ; it nas become general knowledge that acidity will fmake the common hydrangea blooms blue and that ; the Dink ones come from sous that are more neutral or alkaline. Coffee grounds were supposed to make your roses bloom better". -If -the grounds are put on at a sufficient depth to form a good 'mulch, they - do improve your . roses during the heat of summer. If you put poison under your primrose foliage on Halloween you would keep the evil spirits .away, said early gardeners. Here in the WUlaxnette valley, the gar- den slugs are apt to be the evil spirts which roam in our garden on Halloween, or thereabouts. Most gardeners now do bait for slugs in the fall of the year. But in pioneer days. . the poison bait undoubtedly did away wiin .number of garden pests which harmed the primroses in autumn. ' Some lilacs may not bloom un til they are seven years old, but it is not because lilacs are nostalgic and cannot bear to be removed from their parent stock. The old ; time lilacs usually didn't bloom earlier in life.: Now we have- .number of new "hybrids " which come into bloom at a much earlier -Bie.

J When the squirrel put away a particularly heavy stock of nuts, that means a heavy and hard winter and you must mulcA your shrubs better. Next spring, the shrubs look unusually well and you know the little ground ani mals were right During the sum mer, because of the large number of nuts which have disappeared and because of the way the grain is following suit, the men folk de cide that the squirrels have be come too numerous again, .and poisoning la undertaken. Next fall the nuts do not disappear so ra pidly and you do not mulch so heavily. In a couple or three years tne process is repeated, it "really doesn't matter that the truth is if you followed the same plan of mulching, without paying atten tion to the squirrels, your shrubs would also look welL Hyacinths, tulips and daffodils planted on New Year's Day' do very well, legend tells us. Good gardening practices tell us these would really do much better if planted earlier, but that New Year's day ia definitely about the very last time one can plant them if they are to bloom the follow Ing spring. And certainly they do better if planted on New Year's day than if not planted at alL Questions And Answers S. T. asks if she can plant Ma donna lilies now. Ans.: These should be planted in' August or September. However, if you have some bulbs, get them into the sou without delay; L. W. asks if bare spots on the lawn should be sown to grass seed now. Ans.: No, it would be better to wait until later In thai spring. G. R. writes that she .has just come west and has noted that there are some pussy willows in bloom and wants to know if they usually bloom at this time. Ans.: Pussy willows are apt to bloom almost anytime from Octo ber to late March in the Willam ette valley. Their best time is usually in late January and Feb ruary, Mv R. L. 'ask if roses may be pruned now, Ans.: It would be better to wait until late February or early March. Some growers head 'back long shoots on the roses in au tumn. and this seems to be a good practice, but heavy pruning should be left until early spring. H HAPPY NEY YEAR!
