Here Are Tips On Perennial Bed

Starting a new perennial bed this year? Do choose mostly easy-to-raise dependable varieties especially if you're a new gardener. Don't go all-out for exotic, uncertain flower varieties how-

_ ever delightful they sound in

IT'S TIME NOW: . « « to dry sage. « « « to stake tall chrysanthe-

NICEST GARDEN story of this week was told us by Cpl. Ray Zielinski at the State Fair. : Cpl. Zielinski- was on dut® at the Camp Atterbury

Hospital garden display and w one minute before we learned he is there because he’s trained in horticulture. To go back to the story’s beginning—Bob Wolf of FrankJin, who (says Cpl Z.) “keeps things - running down there,” had an idea last spring. The idea, like any good seed, grew until it became a garden for hospitalized veterans. Occupational therapy, if you please, that has kept around 20 patients a day occupied in a 30 acre plot. “What with the boys coming and going from the hospital I suppose about 500 have worked in the garden,” explained the husky corporal.

= ” n THERE'S still another story in the making at Camp Atterbury’s hospital and Cpl. Zeilinski will aimost surely have a

. hand ip that (we hope to ‘tell

you about’ it later when it's all more definite). a His experience convinced mie that though Uncle Sam is usu-

e'd only talked to him about talion, somehow was wisely taken out. In April he: said good-bye to the big’ guns and put his BS degree in horticulture to work on Atterbury Garden supervision problems. He's from Oregon State College and we had fun comparing notes on the wonderfully fertile country in his nome state.

" Fd 2 ONE OF THE saddest sights at the Fair was in the African violet coliection. Not the flowers but the stumps of leaves that had been literally pinched off ‘plants brought for display. 1 do hope all those leaves rot away quickly for the pinchers. But considering the sad state of the world’s morals today maybe it’s more of a happy commentary on State Fair visitors that any leaves were left at all-on the violet plants. o 2 2 ” : THE VIOLETS (in case you didn’t get to the Fair) included such double lovelies as Tinted Girl, white with a lavender

Everybody wants to know what the pretty rose pink blosscms are. To which question Mrs. C. has always said she didn’t know.

PHLOX FORMULA — Divide phlox every three years. Old plants get woody and lazy. Schedule the replanting for either this fall or next spring. When gay colored phlox eventually "turns" into magenta, blame seedlings. These sturdy lavenders will ‘crowd out the more highly developed brightcolored sorts. Always clip seed heads to prevent this reversion.

Wax Profects Window Silis

Window sills, which take a beating from rain, soot, dust and sun, can be protected against such exposure by a coating of

‘wax. When sills have been waxed,

dirt «and ‘dust wipe off with a whisk of a dust cloth. Paste or liquid wax should be applied to the sill in a thin layer, then polished until there is

a smooth protective film.

Dignity Grows With Use; Here's a Mayor to Prove It .

By RUTH MILLETT

EVER hear of a mayor who gets up early to clean the

streets of his town?

They have one in Hardy, Ark., who does just that. I read all about him in Eldon Roark’s Strolling column in

the Memphis Press Scimitar. It seems the town of Hardy can’t afford ‘ : a.street sweeper, SO the mayor, who wants a ‘clean town, has added that job to his other duties. He told columnist Roark: “We have too much Einger-~-bread aristocracy, sham and false dignity in this country . +. .Who am I ‘to think myself too good to clean the fifth and rubbish away from my door, and from the streets that run
