WALT BURGISS ON
HOW TO GARDEN
Proper Preparation and Care Nets
Biff Returns In Growing
Beautiful Flowers
By Walter F. Burgiss
With Easter and Tulip time
come the thrill of seeing the fin
est blooms of the whole year. I
think that the Tulips this year
were the finest I have seen.
Now that they have started to
shed their blooms, it is time to
think about fine Tulips for next
year. As soon as the blooms drop
off, cut the seed pods off, so that
the growth will go into making
a larger and more healthly bulb.
When the leaves begin to die
down, cut the stem down to one
inch above the ground, and plant
annual flowers in the bed, the
annuals will soon grow up and
hide the barreness of the bed,
and the shade they provide will
help to protect the bulbs.
Better still, allow the leaves to
die and dry up then dig up the
bulbs and store until late( fall
and replant. Tulips will run out
in a few years if they are not
dug up and replanted every year.

gardener is an asset and an ad

Talking of hobbies, that is a
'subject worth thising and that-
ing about. A good hobby is very
often the difference between hap
piness and misery. Probably noth
ing pays more dividends as worth
while reading, especially for men.
As for women I always did have
a soft spot in my heart for girls
who made a hobby of cooking,
though judging by my waist line,
I never met enough of them.

will soon be over. There is no
certain time to plant Dahlias.
They should be planted after
there is no danger of frost, or
cold spells.
If your Dahlia root clusters
were dug up and stored last fall
it will be necessary for you to
wait until the eyes begin to ap
pear, then divide the roots by
mutting them apart with a sharp
knife leaving an eye attached to
each root that you aim to plant.
Plant the root with the eye turn
ed up .Plant so that the eye will
be about six inches deep, cover
with about three inches of soil,
and then fill up the hole as the
plant grows. You can set your
stakes at planting time or wait
until later. Dahlias need good
loose garden soil and plenty of
fertilizer. I mix about two table-

think it would be a fine idea to
have Carl Poindexter call a con
