About the only not- nble event was that on Dec. 2B. the Sun and Saturn were in op- position and the Moon was ncarlv . That means that Saturn nnd the Moon were on one side of the earth and the Sun on the other pulling at the earth which was in the middle.

Fall Planting Best for Perennial Vegetables,

Perennial vegetables such as as- paragus, rhubarb and hardy onions are better planted this fall than next spring. Asparagus and rhu- barb will be ready to harvest a full year sooner while the onions will produce a harvest next spring.

For the asparagus bed. roots should be obtained and placed in n location which need not be dil- turbed during the life of the garden, since a good asparagus bed will last several decades. Deep, rich soil i: required and the plants should be given ample room, with three feet each way between hills. Dig a hole a foot deep, spread the roots out and set the crown of the plant six inches below the surface. Rhubarb is another long-lived plant. Six plants will suffice for the average family and they should be placed where they will not be dis- turbed, perhaps near the asparagus in a garden screen or border.

The hardlest winter onion is the red perennial, sometimes called the Egyptian. This is one of the

onions which instead at ‘
