CINDERELLA'S CLOAK—Ward Horn, 21 months, p

Q—1-have a hardy amaryllis (amaryilis balli or lycoris squamigera) that I purchased and planted a year ago. This spring it came up with two bunches of attractive green foilage. The plant then died down (as it should) but the bloom stalk has never come © up although the bulbs are still alive What could pos- _ 8ibly be the reason? What “should 1 do? E. Tabor St. A—1 suspect your difficulty is just due to lack of time. Hardy amaryllis is a plant that doesn't like to be disturbed. It may take a year or more to bloom after transplanting. You might sprinkle some bone meal around the spot where the leaves appeared. Or in the spring use some high phosphate chemical

fertilizer just to be sure this

important flower stimulating element is present. Otherwise, if the bulb is planted in full sun or light shade it's just a case of wait for the flowers.

How to Fudge On Dessert

Reasons Eor Fall Planting

Why fall planting of so many

garden subjects — evergreens, shade trees and perennial flowers?

f One professional explains it this way. The ground is ‘still warm in the fall while the air is getting cool. That means the plant's roots are more stimulated to grow than its top is. The only precaution you need to take in September planting is to water transplants plenti- , fully. For if a few warm days | come along plants may suffer | since the ground is likely to be | dry as well as Warm in late | summer.

zn s 8 YOU CAN EXTEND the fail planting season by beginning in September. That's an ideal time | to move evergreens and peren- | nials. { Most landscapers feel that | shade trees do better if they're | not planted before October or { November. | If you haven't too many {| plants to move wait for what | experienced green thumbers call | “a good planting rain.” Then the ground is workable and at the same time not too dry for

plant roots.

TREASURED LEDGER—Miss Mae Kile looks over the Kile oak's |

guest book.

. THIS 1S THE story of an old-time native Hoosier. It’s the story of a tree that ha

a guest book, a tree that has entertained any number of distinguished visitors. Visitors, too, from all over the world. It’s the enormous burr oak in Miss Mae Kile’'s yard at 5939

Beechwood Ave. That's just off Arlington Ave. (to the west) if you want to drive by and pay a call yourself.

State Forester Ralph Wilcox has called it “the finest oak in any Indiana city.” Its age has been estimated variously from 300 to 500 years. It may have been a young Hoosier sapling when Columbus was hunting for America.

Certainly, most tree experts who have seen it agree, it was growing right here in Indiana when the Pilgrims were stepping onto Plymouth Rock. 2 5 5

ITS AGE WILL be definitely known, of course, when its huge trunk (over 13 feet around at shoulder height) eventually yields to age. But that's going to be a long time yet if Miss Kile can manage it.

For her oak may reach its fingers out over her rose beds so she has to move them out into sun year after year—it may rub its elbows on the roof of her house until it threatens to wear the roof through, but still little Miss Kile guards the giant from harm. Excerpts from a letter she wrote me after I saw the tree tell better than I can how much she loves the oak. M 2 8

“MY FATHER,” she writes, “came here from Ohio and decided on this lot because of the lovely oak tree. He had the house built. No one has lived in it simce but our family. The oak was a large tree then and we have watched it grow until the limbs reached over the house. -

Experts Say Oak Here ls 300 to 500 Years Old

“When I was at the State’

House, first in Public Instruction, then in the Attorney General’s office, I met Col. Richard Lieber, Ralph Wilcox and

to Hilton U. Brown.

“A member of the Park Board had it planted by Mr. Brown's son’s memorial stone at the corner of E. Washington St. and Emerson Ave. Mr. Brown's son was killed in World War I. “Then one year 75 pupils from the science class of School 57 came to see it and I gave them a lovely. scion to plant on the school lawn. I've also given acorns to the Park Board and to Mr. Calvert who later told me he got 100 trees from his planting and as far as I know they are still growing at the plant grounds. ’ " n s “THE ‘FARTHEREST’ place from which anyone came and signed the guest book is hard to say. It has one name from China, one from India, another from ‘Hawai, two from Scotland and one from Ireland. “I have stayed here several years alone guarding the old tree. And I push away the thought of having to part with it to strangers which I should have done long ago.” That concludes Miss Kile's letter, With so many trees so tragically dead and dying we need to keep those specimens sturdy enough to “take it.”
