Eva Hamlett Garden Club lone Garden Club's March meeting was hosted by Mrs. Kenneth Palmer at her ranch home near Lexington, Club member Mrs. Charles Bucha nan presented a study of lily horticulture. Mrs. Buchanan states that lilies are easy to grjjw when a few rules are followed, bear ing in mind the fact that unlike most bulbous flowering plants, lilies have no dormant period. She advised a program of deep and thorough soil preparation in a full sun location followed by regular fertilizing; spring, summer and fall mulches, deep water ing, but not on foliage, with no dry periods. Following these guidelines the gardener may enjoy any of the many exotic new hybrids as long as the old favorite tiger lily is kept away from them, for new introduc tions seem susceptible to a virus carried by the tiger lily.

Sixty drops a minute waste seven gallons of hot water in 24 hours. That's money down the drain. Most often water drips because the seat washer or its mating metal seat is worn.
