Dahlias, although inoluded in our tender snub department, really grow from tubers, When you dig them up you wil Ifind that these have in- creased and multiplied so that next year there'will, be anywhere from four to a dozen stems sprouting front one clump. Even seed dahlias grow a clump of tuber's during a season. Some people feel that seed dahlias are not worth bothering aboat a sec- ond year, but oftentimes triose e,rr- Isrise us and yieid very beautiful and some choice blossoms, At ally rale it is little trouble to 'store them Yon have room, All they need is a large box where they can be laid up side down in a not -too -dry,- fres'. proof i'ooln at a temperature of 45 t„ 50 degrees, A cellar furnace room is usually too dry and warm; a story closet Is better, or even a laundry.

LISTOWEL dahlia plants -as it will among the frst'viaits-cut the stalks to wi:hil 5 or 6 inches of the base and allnw the plant to stay in the ground for .a week.- Then, taking a spading fork, loosen the earth around the tubers. being careful not to pierce them or break them off. Let some of thr.- earth fall away,. before gently lifting the clump. Shake off some of the surplus soil, and allow tubers to doy In the sun for an hour or two be- fore storing. Do not separate tubers until the following spring. Care Required • Gladiolus, which vie with dahlias among garden favorites, should be lifted when the foliage dies down af- ter blooming, or when frost kills It back. Whereas dahlias grow from tubers, the storage root of the glad- iolus is known as a corn. When you dig it up you will notice that a num- ber of tiny new corns have formed at the base. Be careful of these for they are your future gladiolus, and can either be planted separately in coming seasons (not to blossom the first year or two' or can be planter- with the old corms, eventually to be- come large enotrgh to produce blooms themselves. , Do not cut the foliage off y'rur gladiolus unless it has fully ripened (that is, unless it has thoroughly died down after blooming'. If frost struck it store the foliage and corms in, an airy but frost -proof room for several weeks. Then remove the sur- plus earth, the dried foliage, and the mother corm, which was originally. planted in tke spring and which has now withered and drfee. Store In a shallow pan in a .temperature of 43 to 50, degrees fn a well -ventilated and not too dry cellar. An ounce or na3bthalene Rakes sprinkled among ' 100 .corms will help overcome thrips Tuberoses may be dug and stored in a like manner, although tbese bulbs are hard to keep in flowering condition from year to year. Galton - la (summer hyacinth) which ' is hardy in the South, Is also a bulb which falls to bloom sometimes in a second season, and !herefore the stock should be replenished rather than be depended upon for future bloom. Can Be Stored On the other baud, tigridlas cibi be as satisfactorily stored as gladi- olus. The atmosphere ' must be a little dryer, but just as cool and airy as mice are extremely fond of these tender bulbs they can be stored In fine wire mesh baskets or hung up in bunches with the foliage tied to. gather out of reach of rodents. 13ut where gladiolus and dahlias can and should have some moisture in the air, tigridias must have a dry atmo- sphere; moisture tends to rot them, Cannes may be stored in shallow boxes with layer of sand over them though many people advise storing them in soil, lifting the whole plant right up and placing it In a large old pat. Do this before freezing, water- ing them well and allowing them in get settled In a protected out-of-the- way place, but do not leave then. out in a killing frost. Whenthe com- ing of permanent cold weather, take them into a cool Cellar that is not too dry. You can have fun with calla lillie; After digging them up from the gar- den in the fall and storing them •n cool, airy darkness, bring them out after a couple of months and place therm in a pot of well -drained gar- den loam and you will get a second bloom. Likewise winter -blooming callas may be given a rest period• then planted in the garden for late summer bloom: Blackbird Symphony Shiny little blackbirds Wrote a symphony Out upon my back fence my an elm tree. For there each wire was a line, Each gay note was a bird- And such a lovely musicale You have never heard; But they were never satisfied, And changes made' all day. They'd have a perfect score and then - A. note would fly away. Busy little blackbirds Wrltjug music notes, As joyous, lilting symphony our from welling throats. -Nell June McCall, in Christian Science Monitor,
