HOW TO CULTURE FLOWERS
i Like Everything Else They Respond
to Proper Care.
ALL HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS
'Some Require Lots or Sunshine nml
Certain Kind of Soil, Othern
Should Have Dlrcutlr Up
poalte Treatment.
n- OH. A. WAIT STIUM.1J.
Some people have Brent difficulty In
Browing flower from seeds, and many
have thrown their hands up In despair.
Some havo attributed their falluro to
some fiubttn Influence, such ns itn as
sumed lack of affinity between them and
thei vegetable world. Others havo held
the seedsman responsible for tholr til
luck.
My aim In this artlulo Is to set forth
principles that should be practiced to
Insure success In starting1 seed.
Though beginners In flower culture
must expect to sustain somo losses in
the Bcrmlnatlon of their seeds, a little
, experience and a study of the habits of
, tho various rfeeds will soon develop n
natural deftness In tho science of flower
' culture.
I In preparing your seed bed spado somo
will rotted manure Into your firound,
and If available add pulverized she ftp ma
nure and a sprinkle of bone dust and
lime. Tho soil should bo light and porous
and well pulverized. If It has a tendoncy
to be heavy or clayey add somo sand
and mix well.
Do Not rlnnt Too Deep.
Do not plant tho seeds too dcop or you
will smother them before tho tiny leaflets
can get air and Bunllght.
Really the slzo of the seed determines
the depth to plant. Flno seed should only
bo barely covered.
In our dry climate the ground whero
tho Becd Is sown should be sprinkled
lightly every day until they or well up.
If you always depend on a, rainfall you
may invariably expect to bo 'disappointed
with your planting. When thcro Is a
lack of moisture seeds dry out before
they have an opportunity ' to' germinate.
Do not plant your .seeds too early or too
late.
Most of the largo seed's, like 'sweet
wllllam, sweet peas, etc., may he planted
In the open ground any time' In tho early
spring. Whllo seeds like tho canna, orna
mental gourd, etc, should not bo sown
until the late spring. Tho ground Is then
warm and will nurso the tender plants.
This rulo may be applied to any seed
maturlhg a plant, that requires the gen
eral attention and culture,- sucK as would
bo given to squash or corn.
I Plants Are Different.
To Insure a- successful germination of
seed you must acquire a knowledge of
,tno nature of each individual plant.
1 Somo seed, like pansy, require a cpol
and moist soil; .some, .like sweat peas,
are Indifferent to soil conditions, whllo
seed like canna require a great Amount
of heat and moisture.
, There Is an Individuality In plants, so
If you would bo successful In flower cul
ture acqutro a knowledge of the char
acteristics of tho plants that Interest
jou. For example, seed like ostrich plume
do best in a warm, sunny location; oth
ers similar to candytuft can be sown
anywhere, whIe fern and begonia seed
should be sown n shady places wheie
tho soil Is constantly moist
Seed like smllax, morning glory, etc.,
may bo soared In warm water previous
to sowing, this will havo a tendency n
hasten germination.
A knowledge- of flower culture cannot
be acquired by merely reading printed
matter.
You must plant, study and practice.

Campanini's Time
Keeps People Waiting
Cleofonte Campanlnt, tho general di
rector ot the Chicago Grand Opera com
pany, kept an audience watting In
Wichita for nearly ah hour Thursday
night. He arrived at the theater at 7:30,
by his watch, and found the audience
already seated. As lie walked onto the
stage a few moments later he was met
by the excited stage manager and was
rushed to the conductor's stand. He di
rected the first act and then found that
Wichita Is an hour faster than Denver.
Mr. Campanini's watch was still running
Per.ver time. The WIehlta Forum was
packed for the performance and the audi
ence delighted with Mary Oardnn, with
"Thais" and with the orchtstra, even
after their tiresome wait for the director.

Lessons on Growth
of Mignonettes and
Other Flowers Here
Kindly ndvise me the best way of
raising mignonette, verbenas and hello
tropes. In the country I have always
used thp joung plants, but for some rea
son they have not flourished. Is It
largely u question of soil?
W. OMAHA.
Treatment rather thun soil Is probably
the difficulty. All threo plants thrive
In any fertile soil. Whether sandy loam
or clay loam, the soil should Iks well en
riched and worked deeply, particularly
for mignonette.
Mignonette does not transplant welt
and should be sown where It Is to re
main. Mako the seed bed firm after It
has been spayed; In fact, the soli should
be troddenjiard. Thin the soedllngs early
und allow plenty of room for the plants
to spread. A rich friable soil Is best. For
pot culture ptant In deep pots to allow
for npiplo root growth, sowing the seeds
In tho pots In which the plants are to
flower, and thin out sufficiently to allow
plenty of room for the plants to develop
and give plenty of light.
Verbenas may fee started this month In
n hotbed or In n box In the house. Tin;
verbena delights in a light soil and If the
soil Is heavy clay, Bharp Band mixed
with it will he beneficial. When tho
weather Is warm the plants can be set
out and will require little attention.
As these plants become large enough,
pegging down the stums with a bent
twig or wooden toothpick will cause them
to root at tho Joints, and with additional
strength gained from' the many sets of
roots tho plnnts will flower profusely;
The verbena mlist have full sunlight and
being natives of a dry country nre likely
to suffer If watered too freely. Verbenas
can also be sown In a seed bed In tho
garden and transplanted whn largo
enough. Pick tho flowers as soon as they
begin to fudc, otherwise they go to seed
nnd weaken tho plants. Verbenas are
very satisfactory as house plants when
grown In potB.
Heliotropes nro usually raised from
cuttings, which strike root freely from
young growth. Cuttings made now will
tnako good bedding plants. Seeds may
be planted under glass. Tho heliotrope
requires the same culture as the ver
bona, but will thrive best In a very rich
soil and tho summer sun Is never too hot
for It providing the soli In which It Is
growing Is kept from drying out.
Specrtlnpr Tin.
More than 1,000,000 motor cars are at
present in oporntlon In the United States.
The population of tho United States,
speaking In round numbers. Is 100.000,000
That Is to say. thure Is one car for every
100 people. When It Is remembere-d that
SO0 has been, until this year, tho m.J
lrmtm price of an automobile, nnd that In
"population" men, women and children
are Included, It Is evident that In no other
field of Industry has the American genius
for distribution and merchandising been
more signally displayed than In that of

Carrots are In general an nll-senson
crop that should not be transplanted for
fear of producing crooked, forked roots.
For the larger, later sorts a loose, deeply
prepared soil Is bsentlal. Some of tho
small, globular, earlier varieties may be
grown to cdlblo slse In tho hotbed and
matured a whole month or moro ahead
of the outdoor crop. The latter Include
Golden Ball and Early Scarlet Horn, The

Celery takes a real gardener and all
the tricks of .his trado If succoss Is to
bo achieved. The Ideal soil Is a rich,
black, fibrous loam or muck, but most
strong, well fertilized soils, tending to
ward the heavy type, If rightly managed,
should produce a crop. Tho management
Involves abundant water at all times,
stimulation by the use of quick-acting
fertilizers and careful handling qf tho
tender, tiny seedlings. Two transplant
lngs are necessary, special caro being
taken that the roots do not dry out at
these times. Even the so-called self
blanching types require some sort of
banking In order to ylold .crisp, white
stalks. The common methods of blanch
ing will be taken up In due season.
Oolden Self-Blanching, White Plume,
Winter Queen and Gnt Pascal are the
most widely grown varieties.
Chard, an undeservedly unfamiliar rel
ative of the beet, calls for the same gen

for most families. There It but one real

Perennial Gardens
Are on the Increase
Perennial gardens are Increasing, but It
Is pretty safe to ray that tho majority of
amateurs still stick to the annual, or, as
many of the type nre called, "bedding"
plantV These fall Into two groups viz.,
thoso that arc so tender that they must
be started under glaes and tator trans
planted and thoso of which the seed may
bo sown broadcast In the bed that the
plants are to occupy throughout the sea
son. Some sorts In this last group call for
a thinning process when the plants are
about six Inches high, while others may
be permitted to make as dense a growth
as they can. In general, however, you
can go on the theory that If you want
mass effects and plenty of somewhat
smaller blooms you should not practice
thinning; whereas, If you are seeking cut
flowers and high quality In the Individual
blossomo and sprays you should give each
plant plenty of room and treat and care
fpr it os a distinct Individual, Then there
Is the very desirable group Including the
plants, which, If a few are left uncut all
season, will scatter their own seed.
