Seed are a little glow to germi nate, tometimei requiring lev eral weeks before the first green leaves show. Old clumps may be divided shortly after flowering season. In doing this, take the new plants from the outside of the clumps rather than from the center. If you pick the flowers just before they start going to seed, and pick the stems down rather close to the plant, you will find the plant continue to bloom for a much longer period. Some of the di.-eaes which af fect the primroses are chlorosis and rot. The former, in which the leaves become somewhat mottled and yellowish in appearance, is thought to be due to too intense acidity in the soil. Control is suggested by adding three appli cations, one week apart, of one ounce sulphate of iron, one ounce nitrate of soda mixed with 15 gallons of water In the other .disease the plants decay at the crown, becoming r-ovei ed with a whitish-gray mold. This is cau.-ed by botrytis which affecU many of our plants and can be controlled with bor deaux spray or dusting with i opper-lime Garden Calendar One of the nicest year books I have seen this year I received today from the Stayton Garden club.

Says that a garden without Irag i ance Is no garden to her and she is at home Just duiing the evening. Aib : Heliotrope is one of my favot r.es for this. Be sure that all frost is over before setting out the plants. Most florists carry these in late April or May. How ever, to make sure, would sug gest you tell your florist you want some at that time so that he will have them on hand. They like a sunny location. Nicotiana is another good one. Try either the small white flowered Orange Blossom or the taller Nicotiana -ylvestris. Tuberoses are very good, as are aL-o stocks. It is just too bad that lilacs don't bloom tne year around. L. E. asks how late conifers mjy be transplanted in the piing. An : This depends upon a number of things. However, for the average transplanter the last of March or very early April should see most transplanting of evergreens completed until fall. And these must usually be water ed a few times during their first summer. Those planted in the fall so that they get the winter pFi ' - - - t bis - v - - a m.

Artz). rains frequently see the summer through without any additional water. If one buys balled ever greens and has plenty of water they can be planted at any time of the year that the nurseryman will sell them. M. R. asks how to prune hy drangeas and when. Ans.: That would depend upon which type. H. hortensis and a number of other vaiieties bloom at the tips of the previous year's grovth and should be pruned following flowering, while the paruculata bloom on the new ahoots and are pruned back se verely in March to produce young growth.
