Caladium Bulb Hints Offered

HIS is definitely a topsy-turvy world as anybody can plainly see. But for caladium bulbs it should be, so a professional grower reports, “Years ago,” she told me, “a Dutch bulb salesman told me to start caladium roots upside

down, Bome of them have a : kind of hard shell that may’

rot if you keep them st enough to get started right side up.

“But turned on their faces, they make several 8 of roots ke a potato. THen you can

cut them up and get a number of plants out of each bulb.”

MOST Marlori County soil tests show enough nitrate but too little phosphate and potash. If you're in doubt about { your soll, get a free soll test | at the county agent's office. One way to supply them to your garden, sprinkle on the soil before you spade, three pounds of complete chemical fertilizer to each hundred square feet. Be sure to add organic matter with his mtapaciaTY it you live mains,

Hints on Sowing

Seeds for Beets -Early-beets, like the Egyptian, get poor in quality in summer, Hence it is better to provide the succession by sowing

Staking Is Vital For Tall Plants

Staking 1s important for many tall, growing flowers such as delphinilum and for vegetables such as tomatoes, Place the stakes before the plant starts to break in the wind. Do not tie stems too lightly to the stakes or they will be injured when they enlarge with new growth. It is much better to make the initial tie upon the stake and then tie the plant to it. This prevents slipping of the plant and also allows one to more gracefully arrange the shoot.

Rhea Garden Club To Meet Wednesday

Good Idea to Bury Home Plant Pots

Home plants will be much better off for the summer if the pots are buried in the ground so the surface of the soil is even with the top of the pot. They should be placed on the north side of the house beneath a tree.

How to Raise

Flowers Easily

Want easy-to-raise flowers? Here are some oldfashioned favorites never surpassed for the flower garden. For fragrance, or for a gar-

dener to enjoy on a summer's

moonlit evening, raise nicotiana. It's also known as sweet nicotine or flowering tobacco. Beeds “are fine but grow so

"readily. Its perfume is unsur-

passed by newer colored hybrids.

For gay color, raise calliopsis, the hardy annual sister of perennial golden coreopsis. Its colors range from gold to red, orange and brown. It selfsows In most gardens, For golden mounds of flowers all summer long raise the Mexican marigold, one of the oldest forms of this native American flower. It's good for cutting or for edging beds of taller flowers, Love blue flowers? ever surpassed the long-time favorite bachelor button? You can have its true blue in dwarf sorts or raise it in a variety of colors from pink to deep purple, if you prefer.

Train Dahlias To Single Stem

Dahlias, either from cuttings or tubers may be planted as soon as all danger of frost is past. They prefer a fairly loose, well cultivated soil. Be sure to train them to a single stem.
