Notes
PLANT THEM NOW
August embraces many argdeu
operations which usually are assoc-
iated with tile fall, This is particu-
laa'HY true of the planting of centails
bulbs, Madonna liliies usually do
the best if planted in August. The
reason for this is easily e>pllained
by the fact that it is the nature of
the bulbs to develop some broad
foliage before the arrival of winter.
Oriental .Poppies
August does not seem to be a fa-
vorable month for planting peron-
nials, yet It is at this, time that the
Oriental pops (Papaver orientate)
is' most successfully pleated. ilu-
lige most perennials, the plants die
down gradually after Weir flower-
ing in Muy and June, unit1 by Aug-
ust they have become entirely dor-
mant.

transplanting of the long tap -rooted
plants is accomplished with the
greatest success. Ie the early fall
the plants resume both _ .top and
root growth. and recently moved
plants establish themselves for tre

To grow really fine •Orental 1pop-

is ideal, Fresh manure should never
be used, as 'there is danger of its
rotting the fleshy roots. If well rot-
ted manure, or (00180st, cannot be
obtained, Oiled sheep manure and
some c•omulerclal form of dramas
may be substituted. These should
be tllirougllly mixed with the soil
before planting,

The following .bit of homeiey p11JI
osolahy rept'inted from the Canadian

by a lobe] merchant:
Over the hill trailed a man be-
hind a I(nule drawing a plow Saki

"Bill, you are a .mule, the son of
a jackass, and 1 am a man, made in
the image of God. Yet, here we
