“N-R-G” WIZARDS ARE COMING TO CLEAN UP DECATUR

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1919

FLOWER GARDENS For All the Year—Ally, Di, Sonny, Johnny and William Are Names OF FLOWER FAMILY Ellen Shaw Tells How to Cultivate Flowers for the Kiddies. 4 Ally, Di, Sonny, Johnny, and William. It is lovely to have a big family, isn’t it? The summer flower family is a great big family oh, so much larger than just the few children of the other seasons. I think any boy or girl can see why it is eas- 1 ier to have a big family in summer. It is because then you can keep them all outdoors, and in other seasons of the year you have to have the children in the house. You know how it it. — Now, who are these children called Ally, Di, Sonny, Johnny and William? I will tell you all about them. Ally lis the nicest litte girl you ever saw and never causes any trouble. Mother buys you a small package of dwarf sweet alyssum seeds, as sweet alyssum is our little Ally, and you place the seeds one by one about an inch apart, and one-half an inch deep in your garden bed. In five or six weeks Ally will have a white blossom just like a little white head. When it gets toward the middle of the summer give Ally a hair cut. Cut little Ally down within two inches of the ground and what do you suppose will happen? She will come up a.gain aind will have her same little white head all through the fall. Who is Di? Di is also a girl, but she is larger than Ally. Her long name is dianthus, and sometimes we call her pink. Di is an old-fashioned child. You plant the seeds of dianthus just as you did those of sweat alyssum, but dianthus grows much PUBLIC SALE I will offer for sale at my residence, 1015 W.

[ taller and has a pink blossom, or a , : while one, ami smells as sweet as can be. Sonny, sometimes called Sunflower, has great big seeds. You pick one up very carefully and you plant it an inch* deep in the ground, and you plant another one a foot away. By and by up grows this big, strong boy, and later on in the summer Sonny has a yellow head—a huge yellow l head with a Dutch hair cut. Now just you watch and see. Johnny is a different kind of boy from Sonny. He is a quick little chap, sometimes called little "Johnny-Jump-Up,” and by some people called Pansy. Ask mother to buy you some pansy plants and as they blossom, pick the blossoms as fast as you can because then you will have more and more. We have one child left in our summer flower-family. William. Sweet William is a slow boy. He is so slow that he generally refuses to have any blossoms at all until the second summer, and so you have to wait a. whole year before you see his face. Plant Sweet William seeds just as you did the sweet alyssum, and the plants ' will come up in the spring, but very slowly. Before Jack Frost arrives, gather lots of dry leaves and cover your Sweet William and pansy plants all over, laying a few sticks on top. Next spring up will come Pansy and Sweet William and’ io and behold. Sweet ■ William will have a blossom, sweet in odor, and as soft ’as a velvet cush1 ion. 1 If you are a little city boy or girl 1 and have no outdoor garden, you may : plant all of these summer children 1 except Sweet William and Sunflower in a box. Sunflower is too tall and Sweet William too slow, but Ally Di, and Johnny will blossom just as well ■ in a window box as in a garden. PLANTS PROTECT INSECTS > _____ Some garden plants actually prot tect the plant lice, or aphids, which ; are sucking the life sap out of them, > say stoday’s bulletin from the Nationl al War Garden Commission of Wash- ■ ington. This is how it comes about. The aphids gather on the under side i of the leaves and stick in their bills , to suck out the sap. This puncturing of the leaf below causes it to crumple up and roll its edges together below , so the aphids are comfortably housed ■ and protected. To hit them with the ■ spray you must shoot it up from the under side. Since these insects do , not chew and swallow their food you . cannot poison them. You must hit , them with a spray that will smother I or partially dissolve them. They may • often be washed off by a strong stream of water from a hose. The best remedy for sucking inl sects is nicotine sulphate, a tobacco preparation often called Black Leaf ‘ 40. Use half an ounce with an ounce 1 or two of soap in three gallons of water. Soft soap wil do. Strong soap suds will kill part of the plant lice and if used often enough will hold . them in check. Other remedies, like kerosene emulsion, will kill sucking insects, but are rather difficult to prepare. Nicotine sulphate is by far the best remedy and it may be added in Bordeaux mixture with or without poison, and this you spray for disease and insects at one time. $ $ $ S—WANT ADS EARN—S $ $ $ NOTICE OF PRIVATE SALE.
