M a jar today The twice-a-week stint of gardening Wednesday proved again what we've known for a long time. Some of the best gardening tools are to be found in the kitchen. Old tea and tablespoons are wonderful for working with tiny seedlings and we have an old curved blade kitchen knife that makes an excellent tool for cutting off weeds at close quarters. Last week we discovered a new one. Hunting around for something to dig dandelions and other weeds out of the lawn, we tried out a spoon-shaped gadget with a sharp point and edge originally meant to remove cores from pears. It worked fine. We dug scores of little plants nut of the grass in short order, saving some of the tender dandelion leaves to put in the tossed green salad for dinner. Of course, Pappy says the weeds will grow back. He advocates weed killer, but right now, with the dandelions starting to bloom, Potpourri advocates digging. Maybe be tween the two of us, our weed control efforts will bring better results than they did last year. And do we ever regret the day we plantPd violets near the lawn. Especially the little white ones. Now the lawn is filled with hundreds of tiny violet plants. They pull up easily, of course, having an inch or so of stem. But in spite of our best efforts, there's more of them every year. We better urge Pappy to try and find a spray that will kill violet plants as well as dandelions. We spent a part of the afternoon walking stealthily around j the yard and peering up into tree lops trying to get the field glasses on a bird. We haven't a notion what the bird looks like, but he gives a plaintive three-note song on a de scending scale, quite musical, with the last note sounding as if it was a half-tone down instead of a whole tone. We heard this call for the first time last year, and we've been hearing it for the past two or three weeks. Betty Minger, our mushroom-hunting friend down in the advertising department, says she hears the same song in her garden and is also trying to discover what bird it is. Betty can even imitate it with fair success, but whistling isn't one of our accomplishments. We're still feeling discouraged over the ravages of winter in the garden. We feel saddest over the loss of our Cecile Brunner rose it is apparently completely dead. It was an enormous bush and for the past several years produced literally hundreds of beautiful little pink blossoms. The Dainty Bess also is in very poor shape, and Pink favorite has only a few leaf buds showing. The Italian laurel is beginning to show a few green leaves, but the red-berried pyracantha is a sorry1 sight. How ever, the dependable Japanese quince is a mass of pink blossoms and shows no damage, the little flowering plum, which was dug out of a ditch bank near the Paul Smith's home on Spring street several years ago Hnd transplanted when It was onlv six inches high, seems to have survived the winter, and we re thankful that the tulip flowering magnolia is also covered with flowers. The big weeping willow is a foaming fountain of yellow-green, and the , delicate leaves of the graceful silver birch are already half grown. Already the Roman hyacimns, violets, and aaiioaus are fading, but other blossoms will tnke their place the tulips, the iris, the columbine, the modest wood and grape hyacinths. The lesson of life is to be learned in the garden. -O.S. THEY'RE HERE!
