THERE ARE THOUSANDS I
OF GARDEN FLOWERS
American home gardeners may j
choose flowers for their home p-ardens;
this year from a list of more than'
3.000 varieties, for which reed is pro-j
duced in this country. !
This is a greater variety of floral j
beauty than has ever teen produced i
in one country before. Of
countries famous for their
whether in temperate or
all the i
flowers.
tronical !
zones, r.one has surpassed the pres
ent day North America in the wealth
of floral beauty available to adorn
home grounds.
If this material were widely used, i
it would transform the appearance i
of the country. There are flowers in
the list which would thrive in every
section, and every kind of soil and
climate. Flowers for damp and drv
j places, for the run and shade, for
j every set of conditions known, are at
! hand.
To select from this great abundance
the few hundred varieties for which
an average jrarden can find room is
a task which requires some study. We
should be.irin early, and not wait un
til planting1 time, when seed stocks
run low and hurried decisions mieht
cause us to make mistakes.
If you intend to plant seed directly
in the ground, you will want tc be
sure that the annuals you select arc
hardy, quick growers, which will
furnish profusion of blossoms, such
as the zinnias, petunias, nasturtiums
and marigolds. If you start the seed
indoors a simple job, which provides
earlier flowers and allows you tc
have the more tender varieties a
larger selection is available. Use the
cultural instructions in the catalog
as your guide.
Annuals are the most prolific bloom
ers This is a fortunate thing, lecause
it allows us to have flowers frcm June
until killing frost in the fall. Some
of them, however, are earlier thar I
nthfr;. r:nd somr biter; some blooir !
all season, others are best in July 01
August or September. For this rea
son we should choose them accordim
to thei season, so that every weel
of the flowering season will have r
few of them at their best.
Here is a list of the most popu
lar annuals if yours are rot includ
ed, add tliem : snapdragons, mari
golds, poppies, larkspurr, nasturt
iums, seabic.ras, ziara-ias, petunias,
alysum, ageratum, lobelia and mign
or.ette. A garden wl k-h includes a!'
of them will be colorful from early
June through September. Add a feu
rew types or varieties to test foi
next year, and you will have an in
teresting garden.
OLD WILL VERIFIED
Pierce. Neb. The widow of the
late Allen M. Jasmer, had to wait un
til the signatures of two witnesses
to his 50 year old will could be veri
fied. Jasmer was a railroad station
agent here in the SO's and 90's. He
died at Chillicothe. Mo. The will
was written with pen and ink on
foolscap paper and witnessed by
Henry S. Beck and Lawrence E.
Niles. It was filed for probate in
Chillicothe. A. Brande of Pierce was
requested to search for two persons,
faniliar with the handwriting of
Beck and Niles. so the signatures
could be certified, since both the wit
nesses are dead. Brande found two
persons to make the affidavits, one
being County Judge J. B. McPonald,
and returned the will to Chillicothe.

letter from Down South
The Journal field man is in re
ceipt of a letter from J. A. Kiser,
who for more than sixty years was
a resident northwest of Murray, be
ing engaged in farming, but who is
now residing at 119 N street in
Lake Worth, Florida, which he says
is the "Wonder City of the South."
The town has a population of be
tween six and seven thousand and
is located on two highways, over
which by actual count more than
110 cars pass every hour of the day.
Robert L. Propst, former Cass coun
ty man, is also a resident of Lake
Worth, and Mr. Kiser advises that
he is now in a hospital receiving
treatment for his health.
Mr. Kiser, because of his long
jears engaged in farming pursuits
iu Nebraska, is much interested in
the drouth and other present day
handicaps that have come to the
farmers of the middle west. In his
letter, he reviews some of the dis
couraging elements that entered in
to farming in the earlier days in
cluding the hoards of grasshoppers
that swarmed the country.
In a portion of his letter, he
says: "In 1S7C, when I was a lad
of 13, my parents moved from Dav
enport, Iowa, in covered wagons. In
the course of that journey, I manipu
lated the lines on one team all of
the more than three weeks requir
ed to travel this several hundred
miles now a one day's journey by
automobile or truck. We landed at
riattsmouth on October 16.
"That was the last year of the
little Black Mountain grasshopper.
Pasture ground, plowed shallow,
looked like fool's gold, with eggs
thick all over the bottom of the fur
rows. After hatching in the spring,

Their goat proved of assistance in more way3 than one to this paar

they were piled up deep and on
chilly days ore could scoop up a
scoopful of them like shelled corn.
Il certainly did not look much like
raising a crop that year. But there.
came to the rescue of the discour
aged early day settlers swarms of
small red mites that ate holes under
the wings of the grasshoppers and
in a short time they were all dead
or had disappeared. This type of
grasshopper has never returned to
plajrue Nebraska farmers since.
'Speaking of dust storms. I think
it was in the spring of '7S or '79
on the old Henry Boeck place. 8
r:iles southwest of Plattsmouth. the
dust piled up along a b.ede fence
four to live feet deep and covered
the land everywhere to a depth of
several inches. As a result grow
ing crops were smothered and died.
However, the next year, there was
rr. ised en ten acres of this land
more than 1.100 bushels of corn, so
the dust accumulation-did not seem
to hurt it then.
"Houses in those days were not
tight like our present day structures
and the dirt from this great dust
storm sifted in until it stood one to j
three inches deep. The sky was so j
clouded one could scarcely see ten
feet ahead of them.
"I have gone through some try
ing times in Cass county in the sixty
years I lived there, but somehow we
always managed to come out on top.
and I believe the present day farm
ers will find it the same, if they
have the perseverance and ambition
to keep planting and cultivating
for surely continued years of drouth
will not beset them.
"With best regards to all my old
friends back in Cass county, I am.
very respectfully.
