Look Onr Reed List, And Plan Garden Early.
Garden Dreams by
the Fireside
If you see someone these days with
m look of elation on bis face (or hers)
odds are that he Is a garden fan.
All who share this enthusiasm stand
on the threshold of their seaura of
delight. The seed catalogs have ar
rived, real heralds of spring!
Those who think of garden fanii
as queer persons, curiously Interest
ed In seeds, rakes, sprays and fertil
isers and strangely willing to waste
afternoons of rino golfing wcathel
digging In the ground, have a dis
torted Tlew of the matter.
There Is a sporting side of garden
ing. Both physical and mental exer
cise are abundantly provided by tins
work of planting and cultivating and
by the study of cultural methods
through which one may grow earlier
and larger crops than bis neighbor.
Garden design la one of the fine
arts in which amateurs who havu
a talent for it msy find opportu
nity for satisfying self-expression.
They may create pictures which live
and In which they may live.
But In addition to these rewards
there ts an emotional side to gsrdon
Ing. It affords lta devotees a plentl
tude of thrills, kliii, whatever you
may term those pleasurable reactions
In which excitement of the senses Is
combined with an uplift of the spirit.
Do you happen to know a dahlia
fan? Engage him In conversation
about hla favorite flower; It Is not
hard to do. Then observe the rapt
expression which comes Into his eyps
as he describes the beauties of goldou
Lord of Autumn or scarlet Satan.
His words may not express the
enchantments that possess him at
the mere thought of their study, but
his eyes will. It may seem strange
to you that flowers which perhaps
you remember as Just dahlias should
be treasured In the memory as In'
dividual,. You are like a man from
Mara to whom all earth-people look
alike.
Observe more closely the flowers
this summer. Expose yourself to the
Infection. Learn the names of the
different varieties, their color and
character. If the power la In you to
admire beauty for Its own sake you
will not be long In acquiring an ap
preciation which will give each gar.
den month a new meaning for the
rest of your life.
To experience a thrill from the
beauty of flowers It la not essential
that you grow them. But If you grow
them, then the pleasure of their
beauty la multiplied. A plant from
the florist's In the winter living room
will lift your spirit with an echo
of the summer garden's ecstasy, but
in the flowers which you grow you
discover beauties which you never
knew existed. And the garden whlcl
you have helped create la not merely
a thing you admire, but something
you possess, which becomes part of
your life, oftentimes the pleasantest
part.
Bo do not wonder at the enthusi
asm of gardeners and If you wlsn
to share an Interest which can do
so much to make life pleasant, son
a pocket of seed this spring even a
It Is only In a window box.
A Scarcity of Double Stocks
Amateur gardeners are wont to in
quire for a solution to the problem
of producing higher percentages of
double stocks. It Is an Interesting
fact that the double stocks are ate.
He. and therefore do not produce
seed for the reproduction of the
species. The sturdy, unwanted, slngli
stocks are the seed parents. Tho
percentage of doublcness produced
from seed of single plants Is only a
tendency which hss definite limita
tions, for. If anyone:wera so fortun
ate as to produce a strain of stock
seed which would prove to be 100
per cent double, their Joy would oe
short-lived In the knowledge that uu
need would be available with which
to carry on.
It Is said that the most vigorous
seedling plants are usually the sin
gles, and that by eliminating these
from the seed box, the percentage
of doubles will be greater. Othets
claim they can Identify the doubles
by the different form of leaf from
that of the single.
However, those who are not so cer
tain of being able to separate the
singles from the doubles In the seed
ling stage, .resort to the expedient of
planting stocks rather close togethei
In the garden bed, thus, when the
singles make their appearance, they
may be discarded without affecting
the mass.
Successive light applications ol
aluminum sulphate to the soil sur
rounding hydrangeas will cause the
blooms to assume a bluish csat. Ap
plications of lime will Intensify the
pink shades. The hydrangea Is there
fore a splendid soil Indicator.

GOOD
GARDENING
fl. ftpnile Work.
Don't let your wnl for turning
the good earth lead you to put
ting a spade Into the garden too
early, or be litre the lnl of the
winter rains have dried out well.
It's hard to say Just how much
moisture is right, but here's
good tent. Squeere a handful ot
soil and drop It; If the soil re
main stuck together It's too wet
to work. Don't spare your back
tn spading, and rake right along
behind the spading, breaking up
the lumps and clods while they're
still m.Mftt. In sll esse manure
or the beid available substitute
should be turned under. The
whole garden should be hoed over
o a depth of four to five Inches
to prepare It for planting after
It has been spaded as deep as
the good sou goes.

There's a double advantage in having
a V- 8 engine in your car. It helps to
give you fine-car roominess, as well as
fine-car performance.
The Ford V-8 engine takes up less
space under the hood because of its
compact design. And it is positioned
forward in the chassis, in accordance
with the most modern construction.
More of the car's length can thus
be used for passengers extra inches
of leg room are provided in both the
front and rear compartments.
Wide seats are another reason for
the big-car roominess of the Ford. All
seats in all body types (except the indi
vidual bucket-type front seats of the
Tudor Sedans) hold three persons in
comfort. The 1936 Fordor Sedans
have 7Yi inches more elbow room in
the rear seat because the rear-quarter
trim is recessed above the arm rests.
We'd like to have you ride in the
Ford V-8 for 1936. Actual measure
ments will confirm your own impres
sion of big-car roominess and comfort.
