Friday, April 25, 1958 Buds AND Blossoms By MAMIE MILLER “Tl'.erc is nothing grateful but the earth; you cannot do too much for i‘: it will continue to repay teni'oid the pain and labor bestow ed upon it.” So says Lord Ravens- vvorth.

SANITONE DRY CLEANING ASKEW'S CLEANERS & LAUNDRY ME 7-4312 Bill Flowers, over at Central School, brought a cute story with him when he returned from the national gathering of elementary principals in Philadelphia. One of the teachers who spoke there told of a disconcerting rainy day. When school turned out, everybody got bundled up and headed for home except a sole lingering lad. Remaining in the classroom with the little boy was a little pair of boots. Naturally the teacher thought they were supposed to go together, like ham and eggs or ice cream and cake. Putting the boots on the young man was a momentous undertak ing, but the teacher finally made it after struggling for a quarter of an hour or more, “These ain’t my boots,” the little boy said when the job was done. Hiding her overwhelming exaspera tion, the teacher struggled just as hai’d to get the boots off as she had to get them on. As the chore was ultimately ac complished, the little boy added a postscript. “They’re my sister’s,” he said.

Valiant is a good early maturing variety while Rutgers and Marglobe are good main crop sorts. “Big Boy,” a large fntitted hybrid, has done well for us. It is not too late to plant “Glads” in the lower Piedmont and eastern Carolina. The Gladiolus is one of the most satisfactory of the tender summer blooming bulbs (corms). Planting should be made in full sun and out of the range of com petition with tree roots for plant nutrients and moisture. Good drainage is essential. Planting may begin as soon as the soil warms and is dry enough. Use large corms and plant them about five inches deep in the lighter soils and four inches in the heavier soils.
