MORE GARDEN FOR LESS
foliage’ behind them.
(Eighth of a Series) - By DONALD GRAY
Landscape Consultant
T costs the amateur gardener money to plant shrubs, trees, and perennial and annual flowers that fail to grow. The way to economize and get the most for your money is to plant the right varieties of plants in their proper locations. The soil condition must be such that there is drainage in the subsoil and there must be available plant food in the soil near the roots. The next important requirement of plants is whether they need lots of sun or whether they will grow in partial shade or dense shade.
Avoid Shade for Annuals
There is no use wasting money and energy in trying to grow annual flowers in shade. Some varieties will grow in places that get only a few hours of sun a day, but most of them demand at least half a day of full sunshine. Plant under trees ‘in woodslike conditions the kinds of plants that naturally grow under such conditions. Witch hazel, bush honeysuckle, and privet are shrubs that will grow in shade, hemlocks, but never pines. All sorts of spring bulbs will give spring color because they bloom before the leaves of the trees come out. Rhododendrons and laurel will gro under branches of trees if the so is not of limestone formation. These plants demand an acid condition.
Ferns Need No Sun In the summer the only low growing plants that will grow in dense shade are ferns, trilliums, partridge berry, foam flower, and other native plants that grow naturally in the woods in your vicinity. If you want to plant evergreens on the north side of your house plant hemlocks and yews. If there is plenty of sun then any variety of aborvitae of pine will be healthy and grow. The best vines to grow in a shaded area are honeysuckles and woodbine. Never try to grow roses or clematis where there is no morning sun. : Perennial flowers such as delphinium, phlox, peonies, shasia daisies, and day lilies like morning sun, . Pick Spot Plants Like
If they are planted on the west of a high hedge they will not grow as well as if planted on the east side of a high hedge. : It is not always possible to get such, a location on the small lot, but the gardener is storing up grief and worries for himself and at the same time spending useless money to try to grow plants in a place
like, A plant in its: wrong location is subject to many more garden pests than one that is in its natural environment. Before planting any shrubs or plants study the conditions in your garden. If you have full sun you can grow many varieties, If there is partial shade then learn the names of plants that grow naturally under such conditions.

‘Child Training’ Really Is Mere Empty Phrase
Each Youngster Requires Different Treatment In Guidance.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Recently some guests at my
t | house were asking about problems
an ideality,
in child training. I knew them to be excellent parents, with broad understanding and a natural instinct for values. So I suddenly said, “Child training. I don’t like the term.” We have made of child training an idealism or an ideology, whichever you prefer. This means, in general, a preconceived standard of perfection, ‘“existing in idea only.” Long words. Sifted, they mean that in training a child we often fix a standard in our minds and move heaven and earth to make
:| the child live up to it. And may-

be down to it. How can we tell? It implies, often, making a silk purse out of something intended for a wallet, or a wallet from a cocoon intended for gentler wear.
Impractical Ideals .
The parent may get an ideal into his or her head, and make life miserable for everybody by frying the impossible. Ideals are not always practical. Naturally there are certain standards that must be learned. There are cleanliness, courtesy, kindness and truth. But such things do not necessarily take into consideration the child’s own makeup, his natural leanings, his special characteristics or his emotional pattern. I much prefer the word “guidance.” In a good, sensible family, I do not think any term at all need be used. The parent who realizes that each child is different, and does the best she can to raise him in the way he should go without softening him too much, but at the same time giving him enough leeway to grow in stature—this is my idea of handling the child. It has happened, and continues to happen, that the parent will pick up a line here and there from text or heresay, and try to apply it to a boy or girl for whom it was not intended.
Avoid Rigid Standards
Like the tale of cruel old Procrustes, who kept a “measuringbed” for his guests. The too-tall man was beheaded to fit this mythical couch, and the too-short man was stretched on g rack. By reading and learning more about children and their ways, I am sure parents learn much. They see why a. child acts as he does. Besides, they pick up helpful ideas here and there to aid them in doing a better job. But I should cease thinking about my family as something technical. Evén the big-wigs in the psychological field change their opinions frequently. A sense of fairness, a feeling of having to share work and responsibility and lots of fun in the home will do wonders with almost any child. He needs problems of his own to overcome. 10
