Nﬂl'CI£fl and Scilla. It is also the "time of ‘he pinging of birds," but if Solo- mon had ever heard the spring chorus in our orchards he would not have emphasized this point. One cannot have everything in tms world. Palestine is better off than this country over the arrival or spring and riot of color. "For to, the wuiter is past. the rain is ;)\'E‘T and gone; the flowers appear on the earth and the time of the singing of birds is at hand." . - .

Flowers in the home are now more beautiful with bloom than at anly time of the year, or so it seenis alter the dark days of win- ter. More moisture will be needed e\er_\' day and every corner is l.l‘0WCI.€d with plants being made ready for outdoor planting. Have you ever tried bringing dahlia roofs to the light and planting in good rich earth so growth will make them ready lor early bloom- ing? If you have any prized va.i‘- l(‘.Lle5 and wish to multiply them, this seems a good thing to do. They can be divided and carefully planted outside when danger from imst is past. Early flowers will icsult and anything to prolong their season is all to the good.

More folk ask for information on shady i;arcle.ns than any other gar- den. and the gardener with pro- o.i-ms of shade need not be frus- trated. There are plant catididatw aplenty to lit successfully into a iariety of shade pictures. To be sure. shade has its many varia- tions, and to measure them with any precision is practically im- possible.

The g.irdener studies his shaded areas during the summer and in the spring to determine the depth of shade he has to reckon with. He examines the soil, perhaps it iieeds to be enriched. He notes \\IlFLI‘lL’.|‘ the offending tree bran- ches may be judiciously pruned to let in more light. The trees may create a high choerful shade, or they may overhang in a gloomy way. Is there destructive drip from house roof? Are tree and shrub roots matting the soil?

Perhaps the most sensible ap. proach to the problem is in the choice of the plant material after the wrongs have been righiod in- solar as is possible. Of course the shade remains; but it is pleasant to note that there are It least 500 plants that tolerate or even thrive in varying degrees of shade. In this account we are not consider- ing woodland planting schemes. but inc-as lor a cultivated and land- scaped property.

Sometimes the house facade faces north or is blocked by both vvergreen and deciduous trees; or the house may be so angled that the foundation planting must lie in perpetual shade. Lovely native ferns and Astilbe in several colors will do well here and l-losta or plain tain-lilies make pleasant late- summer bloom Fuschlu hIve been beautiful on the north side of the house here in the garden and with colorful tuberous begonias are lovely for the summer season. Fox- gioves in variety give I spirttlike flowecr that does especially well in shade and with violets and early bulbs prolongs the flowering por-

Becauu bloom is often less pro- lific in the shade than in sun- Ihino, the gardener considers not only flowers, but the plant struc- ture and texture, Iutumn foliage. and interesting seed pods. There is thiealsotobesaidon the flowers in shady pliwes: plants in the shade. though less lloriferous, remain in bloom and are lam like- ): to fade in color: Ind of course the soil dries out 15 rapidly. Then are many flowers not men- tioned which do very well in shade. A little experimenting will show up the flowers suitable for Ihady places in your garden.

No greater test of the designer's Ikilll can be found than the selec- tion and arrangement of plant ma- terial immediately adjacent to the house. It may be a dooryard gar- den enclosed by I smell wall or fence, or it may be occasional handsome specimens of plants in strategic positions near the house wall. A living terrace outside the Il\(LII3'I‘00l'l'l or dining room of the house may be one of the most im- portant areas on the entire pro- Derty.

Whatever the over-all design. the plants selected must have certain characteristics. They should be presentable at all times of the year; thcvy should be hardy and free from disease so they can be depended ml to grow continually handaonior as the years go on; they should have interesting fruit, foliage, or flowers, and (if pos- sible» two or more seasons of particularlly tine effect. some woody plants are handsonie at.

OLD MAID 0|" PAST ,

'"3\""Rf You are setting the cause of womanhood back two .-..s aguniing the role of “old maid" as it was lived in the dim past. Fiction (and fact» of the early years of the century was replete with sketches of the unmarried female relative who had I passion for orderliness, an acimoixious tongue and a closed mind. The opening of so many new iielos in industry and the pro- fessions to women. and also in- cidental hobbies. supposedly did :- way with this type; but. apparent- ly, such spinstei-I are heard of now Ind then. with your realization that the "old maid“ charact/erlstios are creeping up on you, you certainly should be able to do something I- bout it. You are mixing with the wrong kind of people and you are not enjoying any of the fun that should be available. You need friends, some interesting activities to provide the mental, emotional and physical stimulation that will rescue you from the little world in which you feel you should reign.

The prescription sounds easy; fortunately, it's equally easy to fill You live i.ri I large city with every available source of entertainment and education. Though you say nothing about the type job you hold, my guem would be that it‘: more or less routine work offer- ing iio intellectual challenge. A change of work offering better per- sonal contacts and more stimulat- ing activity would be beneficial for you. It wouldn't hurt to inter- view I few employment agencies to ascertain what positions might be available. Then sign up for a night course or two in subjects you have always found interesting. One immediate advantage will be that you'll come home at night too tired to worry about whether the sofa was moved or not. The ultimate good will be the substitu- tion of active thinking for the nicanlngless round of trivia that now occupies your mind. You are much too young and intelhgent to become prey to pettiness. Just do something to break away from the present monotonous grind and SW9 yourself I chance to become I really worth-while person.
