Clarkias and Godetias
Thrive in Poor Soil
:wm
TWO ANMUALS JlJW
THAT SHOULD ffl IATy)
BE BETTER, f 'Zs&S -AtS
Two brilliant annuals not so often
grown but deserving of wide popular
ity In the garden are the clarkias and
godetias. They are both members of
the evening primrose family and hav
the satiny texture to their bloom
that Is so characteristic of the many
plants of this tribe.
Unlike most other growing plants,
they do their best on a poor soil, and
If planted In rich loam, or a bed
which has been recently fertilized.
they become lazy and fall to give
their best bloom. If you have a patch
of ground which other plants find
too meager, plant one or both of
these brilliant annuals.
The clarkias have been taken up
by the greenhouse men and are now
popular for winter cut flowers, but
they are Just as handsome In the
garden and very easily grown there.
The double varieties are best for cut
ting. They range In color from white
through light and deep pink to
orange scarlet.
The godetias have large blooms of
more brilliant coloring, and often
have Bplashes of color on light back
grounds to make them more striking
in apeparance. The gladiolus-flowered
forms make the best cutting
material.
Sow seeds thinly In the situation
they are to grow; then, thin the
plants to stand about eight Inches
apart.
The gladiolus-flowered forms, which
come from England) are Improve
ments on an old double form named
Malmalson, a favorite for cutting be
cause of Its fine spikes of double
blush flowers with scarlet centers.
They grow to a height of two feet
and are one of the best.
There are dwarf forms of both
flowers that make very attractive
little bushes, and the godetias come
In both double and single forms.
Other annual flowers which will
grow well in polr soli are verbenlas,
rudbecklas, portulacas and euph robins.

THE NEW AND IMPROVED STRAIN
OF THICK LEAVED SPINACH HAS
BECOME A FAVORITE WITH THE
HOME GARDENER.
At Free Methodist
One of the first spring operations
in the vegetable garden Is sowing the
seed of Bplnach. This fast-growing.
hardy edible can be put into the
ground as soon as the soil drains
enough so that It can be worked, and
will be ready for the table with the
earliest radishes and the leaf let
tuce.
But a "crop of spinach doesn't
pay." say a few housewives. Let them
grow a crop of the new spinach and
find out for themselves, for the new
thick-leaved varieties are so far su
perior to the ordinary run of the
garden types which are found on the
market, that they are almost entirely
new vegetables.
Like many other vegetables, spin
ach must be given the attenttlon
which only the amateur with a small
garden can give It. The old-time
method of broadcasting seed as If
sowing a lawn and letting the plants
shift for themselves never gave the
best results and Is even worse for
the heavier leaved types than It was
for the old-time skimpy types.
For best results plant In rows, thlu
to 6 Inches apart, and each spinach
plant will produce a huge rosette of
leaves. By this method the plant
can be made to do triple duty by
cutting the leaves and letting them
grow mare, Instead of PlllnB UP
bodily, as Is usually the custom, thus
limiting each plant to a single crop.
Make the soil as mellow and rich
as possible for spinach. It Is a short
season crop and all short season
crops must mp.ke speedy growth to
produce best results. Warm sandy
soli which has been well supplied
with plant food Is Ideal for a good
stand. Cultivation speeds the growth.
Spinach seed can be sown Just as
soon as the soil Is in condition, re
gardless of late frosts. It can even
be sown In the fall and allowed to
come up In the spring as soon as
germinating weather arrives. Oet the
heed in early, thin the plants care
fully, cultivate, and rertllize with 4
pounds of plant food for every 100
square feet of area, and you will
have a surprising yield of real greens.
Make sure you buy one of the new
types. Some have more heat resist
ance than others. If you have a
light warm soil or a southern elope
to your garden where It gets the full
force of the sun the better heat-resisting
types will be best for you.
WITH HIS CHILD
PALO ALTO, Cal., April 4. (UP)
David Lamson, victorious In a three
year fight against charges of wife
murder, gave his first full day of
freedom today to bis 5 -year -old
Genevieve Allene, whose hair and
oyea are the color of the hair and
eyes of her dead mother, Allene
Thorpe Lamson.
Still uncertain what his future
course will be, still reluctant to peer
very far ahead, Lamson set out first
to make up for the things the little
girl had lost in three parentless
years, during which she was told
that daddy and mamma were away
on a long trip.
Daddy returned yesterday, and there
was a joyous reunion between the
tall dark-haired father and the grey
eyed little girl. It took place at the
home of relatives less than an hour
after Santa Clara county dropped
the charge of murder against the for
mer Stanford university campus
leader.

The follow, ng fishing and sports
review was issued today by Karl U
Jenouch, supervisor of Rogue river
national forest:
"Pishing conditions are none too
favorable for the first of the season. !
April 6. The storm which oocurred
March 30-31 haa raised the water in
all streams. This applies to all tribu
taries of the Rogue river above Pros
pect and both branches of Butte
creek. The main Rogue river below
Prospect, though high, Is believed to
be flr fishing for steelheads. They,
are spawning In Elk creek and con
siderable number of trout have been
seen on those spawning grounds.
"High muddy water from the melt
ing snow prevails In all streanis In the
Butte Falls area.
"All lakes except Squaw lake are
frozen over. There are no boats avail
able aa yet at Squaw lake with the
exception of one at Little Squaw lake.
This may be rented for 35c per hour.
Fishing should be fair In both lakes.
"Unless the weather warms up con
siderably by the Oth, fly fishing Is not
expected to yield any results. Night
crawlers or eggs will probably be nec
essary In all streams. Spinners and
plugs were taken last year at Squaw
lake In the early season.
"The lower roads In the Applegate
territory are In fair condition. The
Squaw lake road Is Impassable for
the i&ft, 2 miles. All roads above
Butte Falls are In poor condition.

to travel. The road to Dead Indian
