Astor Perry, Nickels for Know How peanut specialist, says the two new varieties, Lee and Jack son, have many of the character istics long sought by soybean pro ducers in this area. Lee in particular has been out standing in yield, shatter-resist ance and resistance to most of the common soybean diseases. Jack son has combined the qualities of the Volstate and Palmetto var ieties, giving a tall plant high in yield. The Lee variety is well adapted to the Ogden area and the Jack son variety to the Roanoke area. Perry believes that Lee will event ually replace Ogden and that Jack son will partially replace the Ro anoke variety.

C. v /? & * V *v GARDEN TIME By ROBERT SCHMIDT N. C. State College During thei past month several gardeners have asked me for in formation about peonies. Should they be divided? When should they be moved? When should new plantings be made? The time for making new plant ings or for moving or dividing old plants would be October and No vember in eastern North Carolina and September and October for the western or mountain section of the state. But don’t move them unless there is some good reason to do so. Peonies .do not like to be disturbed. If you have a large clump that is doing very well and producing good blooms, don’t disturb it. Any loss of roots will have a harm ful effect. It is not necessary to divide and move peonies every two or three years as we do iris and daffodils. If a plant is not bloom ing satisfactorily, then it may be advisable to move it to a better location, or perhaps it has been planted too deep and should be taken up and replanted shallow— the buds should not be more than one to two inches below the sur face of the soil. Have you seen the newspaper ads of the “Miracle Plant” which will bloom for you without soil or water? It will really do that. The plant is the colchicum which re sembles a large crocus and will send out blooms without leaves during August or early Septem ber, no' matter if you put it in soil, water, or on the kitchen shelf. You can buy these bulbs at any of the large seed stores. Plant them in the yard about two to three inches deep. Leaves are produced in the spring which die down in summer and flowers come out dur ing August or September. Or you may. plant them in a bowl in the house very much like paper white narcissus bulbs.
