CEDAR CHEST
Benefiting from modern design In hardwood veneer, the
old-fashioned cedar chest has had Its face lifted. In fact,
the outside of It isn't even made of cedar. Beautiful
enough to be used in any room, the chest shown above
is faced with limed oak wood veneer with a polished
finish. Adjacent sheets of the wood veneer have been
matched to create continuous overall harmony of the
delicate wood grain figure. In addition to the cedar storage
compartment, three large drawers at one tide provide
eparate space for storing smaller articles.
Questions
BY MARK
Q. Is it too late to plant
lilies? B.U.
ANS. No, but do not de
lay any longer.
Q. Can Michaelmas daisies
(hardy asters) still be divided
and planted successfully?
Mrs. R.E.
ANS. Yes, pry clumps
apart and plant at once.
Q. What perennial plants
may I plant now for fall
bloom? I need to add more
color to my fall garden Mrs
H.T.
ANS. Chrysanthemums,
delphinium, Michaelmas dal
sies, foxglove and perennial
sunflower.
Q. Is It possible to grow
Hibiscus in this climate?
Mrs. S.E.T.
ANS. Yes, certain species
do quite well. Hibiscus Rosa
Sinensis is a good shrub with
gorgeous blooms. However, it
needs winter protection. Hi
biscus Syriacus, however, is a
shrub known as Rose of Sha
ron, with smaller blooms, that
does very well in this locality.
Q. What is the best form
' for nitrogen feeding of a lawn?
H.A.
ANS. Use in liquid form
for easier handling and quick
er results. Use sulfate of am

M. TAILOR
Q. I have heard that when
taking cuttings they should be
taken so that the cut is at an
angle, Is this necessary and if
so why? Mrs. C.E.S.
ANS. Yes, the cut should
be made at 45 degree angle be
low the node. This angle gives
greater cut surface on which to
form a heel and, subsequently,
roots.
Q. How often must most
perennials be divided? K.O.
ANS. Perennials should be
divided whenever they become
crowded or the roots too en
twined or at least every
five years.
Q Have had beautiful blue
hydrangeas that have been
large and always attracted so
much comment because of their
deep blue color. Last year they
did not seem to be so blue as
formerly. What can I do to
correct this condition this year?
Mrs. G. H.
ANS. Fertilize your hy
drangea with aluminum sul
fate, two ounces per square
yard. To enhance pink ones add
agricultural lime.
Q Our geraniums have not
done so well lately, flowers are
few and foliage appears light
in color. What care should be
given to them now? Mrs. R. A.
ANS. Probably need a rest.
Trim back to six Inches and
re-pot if the roots appear
crowded. Root the trimmings in
moist sand for new plants.
Q Have had trouble with
young seedlings damping off?
How can this be prevented?
M. M.
ANS. Use only sterile ma
terial. To sterilize soil use for
maldehyde dust at six ounces
per bushel of soil. Cover for 24
hours and then stir soil well.
Soil sterilizers are on the mar
ket at your seed store. Do not
overwater seedlings to prevent
damping off.
Q Which method will pro
duce the best chrysanthemums,
a divided clump or new start
ed cuttings? R. B.
ANS. Most growers prefer
cuttings to get the huge ex
hibition type blooms. Divided
clumps will give you a quantity
of smaller flowers for cutting.
Q I want to try raising be
gonias from seed. When should
they be sown Mrs. I. E. T.
ANS. Sow begonia seeds
j this month preferably In green
I house or hotbed.
, Q What fall blooming plants
1 can be started now? Mrs. I. Y.
ANS. Chrysanthemums and
buddlela from cuttings, asters
or zinnias from seed, Mlchael

from bulbs. May Is the best sow

Lilacs Fit Well Into Plan
Of Most Garden Plantings
Lilacs are a much prized
garden subject in many gar
dens and fit well into a land
scape plan. They are, however
too often neglected and omitt
ed from garden plantings in
favor of some newer or more
highly advertized shrub.
Generally, lilacs, of the
famil- Syringa, are fragrant
flowered shrubs. Some are
native to this country, many
have been imported. Most all
are vigorous and may be
grown with a single trunk or
let run rampant as a many
trunked ahrub. Unfortunately,
they have no Autum color or
fruit to ler.d Interest, but their
fragrant colorful charm is not
found In many shrubs.
Most lilacs troubles may be
avoided by preventing the
bush from becoming over

TAKES THE WORK
OUT OF WEEDING
Fifty years ago the man with
the hoe was a symbol of good
gardening.
The necessity of Weed Con
trol was realized and the hard
worker received the rewards of
his labor. Today the gardener
weeds his lawn with ease, and
without endless hours on his
knees at back-breaking labor.
This is made possible by the
wonder working chemicals
2,4-D and 2,4,5-T contained in
the lawn weed killer, Improved
LAWN HOllMOTOX.
LAWN HORMOTOX is an
advancement in weed killer
chemicals, because jf the new
2,4-D and 2,4,5-T safer-to-use
materials. Thus the dangerous
vapor drifts Involved in the
earlier formulations of 2,4-D
are eliminated.
Moreover LAWN HORMO
TOX contains both 2,4-D and
2.4.5-T which enables the user
to kill a wider variety of lawn
weeds than was possible by old
er formulations.
