a little about tulips. "Yea," they
Say, "we grant you that they are

two,"
Now this is not true, Even if it
were true, the tulip would still be
Wore than worth it, But in point
of. fact, when the 'weather is reaa,
()liable (as It sometimes is), It is
an. easy 'feat to choose your species
in such a way that you can have
tulips in bloom in your garden for
as much As ten weeks, And with
hardly any cheating at all,
The secret of the whole thing is 4b very early tulips,. These are so
different from the ordinary Dar-
wina and Breeders and .so. forth
that dealers go to ridiculous lengths
to' try to find a name for them. • •
It doesiet matter what you call
them. Most bulb dealers carry
few kinds of them, and all really
good bulb dealers have a very wide
range, usually under the name

They lodk a little different, too.
Most of, them open out flat, like a

If your evergreens have -made
extra heavy growth since their
spring pruning, prUne them
again. Trim and shape them just
befOre they "throw" their sec-
ond growth late in September.
The worst treatment for ever-
greens is to neglect their prun-
ing until they are all 'out of
Shape, and then try to bring
'them back to size and form by
heavy shearing or pruning. This
too often results in harsh, irregtii-
lar forms, stab, ends, discolored
foliage and soinetinies in pet-
maneat injury. '
As happens not inftecniently,
spruce or pine trees will de-
velop two leaders; as shown in
the accompanying Gardeo-Graph.
Since two leaders spoil any orna-
Mental tree, trial Oat the upstart
leader, as Marked in the Garden-
Ora pie
When checking over pines and
tpraces, look for telltale signs of
weevil damage. If there Is evi-
dean that weevils are working
in your trees, spray them im-
mediately with DIM Oirect the.
spray at the terminal twigs. This
will discourage the female wee-
vils from laying their eggs there.
if ehe top shoots have already
been badly damaged by the wee-
vils, as shown in the Garden-
Graph, cut them out and bure
them. This twill also destroy any
grubs that may be developing
under. the bark and will lessen
the extent of tree injury next
year.
When pruning. the "Christmas-
Tree'l grOup-fits and SprUces
remember that their beauty is
best shown , by a perfect cone
formed of soft masses of needles

branches projecting beyond the

PROPER PACKAGING
IMPORTANT fOR
HOME FREEZING
Although we may not credit the
squirrel with having many :brains,
he isn't so dumb! His practice of
Storing food while it is plentiful is
really quite sound, In fa'et, many
housewives are busy now doing the
very same thing.
With the convenience of borne
freezers it is possible to have fresh
vegetables and fruit all year long
and now is .the time to store up,
But don't make the mistake of
thinking that as long as the food
is in the freezer it will he all right.
Proper packaging can make the
difference between that garden
fresh flavor and a slightly off-fla-
vor or even possibly spoiled food.
The most important factor la
successful home freezing' is an air-
tight and moisture-tight,. container.
Flexible polythene plastie has both
these qualities and in addition is
not affected by low temperatures.
Polythene bags are now avail-
able in special freezer sizes and
are best for freezing bulky items
like roasts, abicken, cake or corn..
The bags have ties to fasten the
top and food stays just as fresh as
when it went into the freezer.
Freezer jars of the same material
have a snap-over lid that seals
them tightly keeping air out and at
the same time making the contain-
er spill-proof. They are round in
shape which makes them 'easy to
clean and are easily, stacked for
space saving fn the freezer,
Freezer paper is now coming in a
combination of extra strong white
kraft paper and a protective film
of polythene. Packages can be
wrapped in this paper without fear
of food sticking to it. A special
feature is that the paper can be
used over and over again.
Take a lesson from our friend.

the long, cold winter ahead, The

short.
