FLOWERS HAVE LIKES, DISLIKES; TAILOR THEM TO FIT YOUR NEEDS The minister discovered shortly before the garden party that he had failed to invite an old lady who was a member of his congregation. Hastily he phoned her an invitation. "Oh, gracious, it's too late," she moaned. "I just prayed for rain." GINGHAM DANCE Flowers, like people, have special likes and dislikes, spe- cial uses as well as special col- ors, widths and heights. Take location—some flowers such as alyssum, portulaca, nasturtiums, forget-me-not and others revel in hot, bright sun and do not seem to mind a little droughts. Others like the begonias and most lilies prefer shade and moisture and do best when. they are not in the direct sun for more than a few hours a day There is another group such as the stocks, sweet wil- liam, sweet peas and so on, that are not especially noted for their foliage, but are grown mainly for their beautiful per- fume Some flowers, like the cos- mos are extra hardy, some like the zinnia won't stand any real cold weather. Some are very dwarf like alyssum, forget-me- not, lobelia, pansy, dianthus, viola and ageratum and suitable for planting in the front of the bed, while some are very tall, such as the amaranthus, chrys- anthemums, cosmos, delphin- ium, hollyhock and so on, and make excellent backgrounds. All these points are noted in the seed catalogue and are of vital use to the gardener in planning "and planting. C.O.F.

The hardy annuals are grown from seed sown out of doors. Half-hardy annuals are sown indoors in early spring and are trans- planted outdoors when danger of frost is past. Some, such as Marigolds and Zinnias are frost tender, while other such , as petunia and vergenas must be started indoors to give them the required length of growing season for bloom production. Horticulturists with the On- tario Department of Agriculture offer the following suggestions when sowing seed of half-hardy annuals indoors. Mr. and Mrs. Ross MacGre- gor, Mary and Margaret visited with Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of London, on Sunday. Mrs. Watson, Bonnie and Mary, of Stratford, spent Sun- day with Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Whyte. Miss Jeanie returned home with them. Mr. and Mrs. Ken Preszcator and family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Allan Pfaff and family and Mr. and Mrs. Emery Pfaff, all of Crediton.

Shrubs that will reach five to eight feet at maturity need at least 10 to 12 feet between if they are to develop in normal and beauti- ful fashion. As for trees in the small city lot and with a one - storey house especially, big ones have no place at all. Far ^better to select small sorts like the Mountain Ash, Japanese Maple or some of the many blossoming ornamentals and leave the big fellows to the parks. And most fair sized an- nual flowers and vegetables want room too, at least half as far apart in the row or garden as they will ,be tall at matur- ity. should neither be saturated nor allowed to dry out, but kept in an evenly moist condition. Wa- ter early in the day so that foliage is dry before nightfall. Annuals should not be plant- ed out until the danger of frost is past. It is a good idea to set the flats of seedlings out- side a week or more before planting out to acclimatize them gradually to outdoor conditions. The majority of half-hardy annals may be sown from now onwards except the fast grow- ers such as zinnias and cos- mos, which should be sown in late April or even early May. Sow different kinds in separate containers to make transplant- ing easy and efficient. Contain- ers may be 6" seed pans or 5" pots. The soil mixture should con- tain seven parts loam, three parts peat and two parts sand, add about 2 ounces of super- phosphate, or a complete fer- tilizer, such, as 5-10-5 to each bushel of mixture. If possible sift the mixture through a 1/4 - inch sieve, particularly for fine seeds. . Sow the seed and clover light- ly with the soil mixture. Water with a fine spray to avoid un- covering the seeds. They may also be watered by placing the pot two-thirds of its depth in water until the soil surface darkens, then remove to allow to drain. To prevent evapora- tion, cover the container with glass or plastic and shade from the sun, However, to provide enough light for good seedling growth remove the shading and covers when the first seedlings appear. Transplant the seedlings in- to flats when they have formed their first true leaves. Use the same soil mixture as mentioned above and space the transplants about two inches apart. Plenty of light is needed to keep seed- lings short and sturdy. The soil Turn It Back Into Soil Where the garden is of fair size it is an excellent plan to have some secluded corner, screened off by vines, shrub- bery, lattice work, or a rustic fence or wall, where one can establish a compost ,pile. This with a little care and planning does .not have to be messy, in' fact it can be kept almost as neat and attractive as any other corner. How Big When Grown When 'planting trees, shrubs, or even what will eventually be good sized annual flowers and vegetables, many people seem to forget that those things will grow tall or wide or both. They crowd them far too closely to- gether and far too near side- walks; walls and fences. Then when the shrubs or trees really start to develop they have to slash them back and make them look unsightly, or else they have not the heart to do so and pretty soon they are living in a sort of jungle. Also if shrubs or trees are planted on - Lineman:' "Why were the two ink spots crying?" Operator: "Because their mother was in the pen and they didn't know how long her sen- tence was going to be." CGIT and S.S. Meet • The CGIT and Sunday School of Constance United Church jointly held a social evening in the church basement on Tues- day evening. Mr. Donald Buch- anan acted as chairman for a short program, consisting of a sing -song,. led by Joyce Brown and Mrs. Reg Lawon; piano solo by Margie Whyte; reading by Mrs. Donald Buchanan; solo by Joan Preszcator; melodies solo "by Elaine Brown; "Take Your Choice," with Janice Jew- itt . as moderator. Crokinole was played, after which a bounteous lunch was enjoyed. Winners at crokinole were as follows: high, men: David Preszcator; ladies, Mrs. Wm. Jewitt; children, Ian Hul- ley; consolation, men:' Ronald Parkes; ladies, Mrs. Don Buch- anan; children, Joanne Hutt; most twenties: men, Donald Jewitt; ladies, Joan Preszcator; children, Brian Jewitt. For the compost heap itself, all that we need will be a few rough boards stained brown or green, or better still, concrete building blocks or bricks suffici- ent to make a box -like affair four feet by four and two feet deep or larger. If we are .go- ing to compost garbage refuse it is also advisable to provide the box with a screened and hinged top to keep out flies, dogs, and 'so on. Into the com- post heap goes anything that will rot; grass clippings, leaves, weeds, clean garbage like cof- fee grounds, orange rinds, ban- ana skins, egg shells, etc. Over two or three inch layers of re- fuse packed down, it' is advis- able to spread a layer of good soil to which we can add a lit- tle lime and chemical fertiliz- ers to hasten composting. Ev- ery few weeks it is also advis- able to soak thoroughly. The top of the heap should be kept roughly level so it will absorb rain and not dry rot. MYSTERIOUS MADSTONE It is said that when the mad - stone is applied to any wound inflicted by a mad dog, hydro- phobia is prevented. A choco- late -colored madstone in the U.S.A. was brought over from Scotland in 1776. It is reported to have been employed against the venom of a mad dog 130 times—all successfully—during its American career. Belief in the madstone's strange power goes back many centuries in the Orient. BROWNIE'S DRIVE -•IN Clinton THURSDAY and FRIDAY April 25-26 .
