KOTOS MOUNTAIN HZRALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. 6 DomeToion THelpsT GARDENS IN LARGE CITIES No RMion Why Ctrtaln Difficulties Shrould Not Easily Bo Overcome, j With proper Thought. There are a few things that must be provided If Omaha Is to become famous for Us gardens, aid It Is to be hoped, that the agricultural expert who Is coming here will attend "tTT thera, hays the Omaha World-Herald: Then woeld be many more gardens If there were some central agency established where men too busy to at tend to all the work could call by telephone and get a reliable man when one la needed. The charity organiza tions bare been relied upon, but the men who seek work through them are often Inefficient and unreliable. Oae business man said: "I have quite a large bit of ground In my back yard that I would like to put In a garden, bat I cannot take a day Oft to spade h up and prepare the ground for the seed. I would be glad to plant the seed and care for the ground after ward. Last year I tried getting a man and after much worry got one. He was unreliable and the work that he did was hardly worth tho time look ing after him, so this year I hare con cluded to seed It down and avoid that sort of worry." The plan for children Is good and should e boosted by every one, but a large number of gardens would be planted where there are no children If there were a place where the light kind of help could be secured. Lawns would be kept In better condition If a man could be called by . telephone when a mower was out of order or needed sharpening and when bulbs and shrubbery were to be planted. Omaha gardens and beautiful lawns would add very much to the city In the satisfaction of citizens ud visitors and to the value of property. It might be a good policy for some of the civic organlzatlona to undertake to supply this want by establishing auch a cen tral agency. There Is no doubt that It would be a paying enterprise. FLOWERS IN CONCRETE WALLS Monotony of Driveway Relieved by Device of Designer Who Gave Thought to Subject. In designing a residence driveway shich was to be cut through a ter race, builder avoided the monotony of having two long concrete retain ing walls flanking either aide by breaking them at intervals with semi circular niches In which plants could be placed. These spaces were made so that they broke what otherwise would have been the straight line of the two copings. Each was made bout t feet In depth and 2 feet wide and given the same finish as the ex terior walls. Concrete Jardinieres were made tor the plants which were get In the spaces. Popular Mechanics. Making the Town Worth Living lit. The following, from the pen of Judge Nelson Case of Oswego, applies to any Kansas town; "Taxes paid for good roads, for libraries and schools, for any Improvement which adds to the comfort, the enlightenment, the happiness of a people, are among the most valuable investments a person can make, even though he cannot see that he has any direct interest In them. The most prosperous cities are those whose Inhabitants have the most advantages for education, religious culture, recreation and such amuse ments and diversions as are elevating In their tendencies, and are free from demoralizing Influences. Kansas City Is a fine example of this spirit and policy. It is what her citizens have done to make the city beautiful and a desirable place in which to live, fully as much as her direct efforts to secure trade, that has given her the prestlgf she enjoys." Kansas City Star. ,. Manuring ths 8oll, In garden making the first essential Is a heavy layer of barnyard manure placed on the surface and then turned (aider as deeply as it la possible to get It. If a, lot has to he filled three or four feet In depth, it should first be covered with two feet of barnyard manure, on top of which should be placed two feet of good soil. . When an has been settled by the rains of one winter we will have a garden "as Is a garden." This Illustration is used merely to show where manure should be placed If It be possible to get It there. A. garden so filled In would grow roses and other flowering shrubs that would prove little short of mar velous. , i :. s ' : . - Cut the Weeds and Grass. . Whether yon are a renter or an own er. you should not permit grass and weeds to "take" the sidewalk. - Flies and mosquitoes bred In the tangled 1 of a home owner are Just as an- aoylng and poisonous as those that are brsught to life on the rented premises, And the blow to clvlo beauty la as se vere In the one Instance as in the oth er. Don't be a drawback to comfort, hetlth and clvlo beauty, which Is to say, don't let weeds and grass encunt ner the sidewalk of ths piace that you ' r.na Bud. rs aivd 'are and CuKivatiorv. Panslea. COLORS IN ANNUALS By L. M. BENNINGTON. For summer flowering, annuals are very satisfactory, blooming profusely through the entire season, while the cost of a seed packet 1b but a trifle. Good taste dictates the system of planting large bunches of single spe cies together rather than the old way of mixing a dozen varieties In as many square feet. It Is the same plan that places a dozen carnations or roses In a vase rather than the heterogenous collec tion In the old-fashioned bouquet Mass your flowers if you would secure the best effect The old calllopsls, "lady's breastpin" they used to call It, la a handsome plant, Its long slender stems render jig It extremely useful for cutting, and the shades of gold and brown tiarmonlslng nicely. A mass of It next to the shrubbery In the background gives a most pleaa- ng effect. Some handsome forms of single dahlia may be secured by planting a packet of the seeds In pots early -In be spring and transplanting the Water the WORK-A-DAY NOTES By L M, BENNINGTON. If the season Is a dry one some of the plants In the garden will have to be watered If you want flowers from them. - Especially Is this true of gloxinia. .' : ' - ' Use enough water to penetrate au the soil in which their roots grow, and aee that It is kept moist Watering today and neglecting for a week to come isn't the proper thing. , Save the suds from wash day for this! purpose. The snap in toe water wui benefit the plants..' - Be sore to supply substantial sup ports for your dahlias. If this Is i!ot done - 70a will . likely find tvem broken some morning after a sudden wind or a hard rainstorm. The sttikes should' be at least four feet Jull allow an extra Joot and a half or in sertion In the ground and tfley shoult be at least an Inch througlf and of prood sound wood. Paint tb n a dull . x x -' jr 5hrub' young seedlings to the garden as soon as danger from frost is over. The colors of some are very fine and' to one liking the single flowers the plan Is a good one of getting a variety at a small price; but unless started very early these seedlings rarely mature tubers that will keep through the winter, though they com mence flowering almost as soon as the plants are started from the tubers. The chrysanthemum-flowered asters are much more pleasing, both grown In masses and for cutting,' than the quilled bouquet sorts. If but two kinds are chosen, let them be lavender and white with rose as a third choice. When ordering seeds there is a strong temptation to order mixed packets, yet if the very finest speci mens are expected, the surer way Is to single out one or two of the choicest colors. These are made up from the best Individuals, while the mixed packets are what the name Implies, though In many instances highly satisfactory. With pansles for spring, sweet peas for summer, and asters for autumn, one may be sure of having an abun dance of the most beautiful cut-flowers tor all occasions. '.'"'' Gloxinia. ly obtrusive.
