GORDON MACMILLAN A COUNTRY GARDEN I There is always in Febninry some one day, at least. when one smells the yet distant. but surely coming, summer. G Jekyll. It is in the longer evenings that we notice the change in the winter season. also where the sun has warmed the earth on the south bank of the evergreen hedge. In the garden room the plants are all in bloom since the sun has been bright for a longer period of the day and so they require more wat- ering. Another Amaryllis bulb has been potted up making four in the collection. The other week a man told me of his seven varieties of these lovely flowers with the huge blooms. He had recently added I white amaryllis to his other colors and was looking forward to the flowering. Another lady gardener greeted me the other day by ask- ing if 1 had my seeds ordered, this makes for ”Guod conversttion." A tree rosc was brought up to the light in the garden from the cellar where it was reaching for the light. Last year there were many fragrant blossoms on this tree rose with the same culture, as the house plants grow larger, the garden room becomes more crowded and every hanging basket and shelf is filled to capacity. In a few weeks it will be possible to move some of them to larger quarters and so relieve the con- gestion. There is no standing still in this growing business. THE SEE DORDER Making out the seed order has been an enjoyable task these eve- nings. Some new varieties, and more of the hardy and reliable seeds are ordered for the spring sowing.- I have received lovely colored pictures of the California seed farms where many of the seeds are grown for our gardens. About five thousand acres of Cal- ifornia's most fertile soil is being cultivated at the present time to produce flower seeds.for a good part of the world, it is estimated that California grows nearly nin- ety per cent of all the flower seed used in the world today. Probably no other business in existence com- bines such an outstanding com- mercial record and such a trem- endous amount of beauty. Tourists come from all parts of the world, in June particularly to see the flow- er farms in bloom. Since the farms are in mountain valleys, breath- taking vistas of the vast acreages can be obtained from the hills over- looking the fields below. LOMPOC VALLEY About fifty three miles north of Santa Barbara. there -is such an overlook at about a thousand foot elevation. At this point, there is an unrestricted view of the intensely cultivated Lompoc Valley in which several seed firms have their large acreages. The over-all effect is that of a huge topographical map col- ored with chalk crayons. The real thrill. however, comes in the sud- den realization that this wide ex- panse of color is composed of mil- lions upon millions of cultivated flowers growing under these con- ditions by special favor of Provid- ence-that there are few compar ibegonias are grown here in beallli ful varieties also new strains of daffodils. The cost, and the painstaking care involved in producing a flow- er seed novelty or new shade and the time and vigilance necessary to keep I line true, once a new flower is ready for sale is nothing short of amazing. Sometinics hun- dreds of line selections are made in order to introduce a shade dif- ferent from others grown and at least five years must pass before the new shade can be ottcrcll l0 the trade. We wonder how it is lllliollllc that a packet of flowcr sot-its cost so little when we think of the skil- led labor required to izrmv lhls seed.

Not a branch will there be for seventy-five or one liuiidred feet above the ground: yet no saw has cut thein--man has not intervened. Nature has done the job by sha- ding the lowcr limbs, which ultim- ately die and fall to the ground. The wounds heal and the giant trunks tower upward as single maj estic columns. But this self-pruning technique is successful only where there is a dense stand of trees. in the home garden there is no substitute for skillful pruning on the part of the gardener. Pruning should be started when trees are young; and if this practise is kept up faithfully you will have beauti- fully grown shrubs and trees. The time to prune when wounds form callus and heal faster is found to be from February fifteenth to May fifteenth so that we can begin right away on sunny days when it is a joy to be out and doing something for the garden. The proper training of hedges starts the day they are planted. for the correct kind of trimming at this time will insure the right type of growth later.

Ea Hawol-I'll Girl Parents Grape With Conscience Over A Decision DEAR MARY.HAWORTH: We vlant your advice on I difficult de cision. To be able to live with our conscience in years to come. what is the right thing to do? Our minor-age, unmarried daugh- ter is pregnant. She no longer lloves the boy responsible, mm to lorce her into a loveless marriage would be cruel. We have a grown son It home. from whom the secret cnnnot be -concealed much longer. I The possibility of placing our idaugliter in a maternity home "3. ;ul afterwards, and later giving the Jllhlld for adoption, is one solution, it realize. But how do you go an liiing with the thought that your min grandchild is lost to you for. Her? ' Our daughter is a sweet beauti- ful girl on the threshold of me, Need she be a social outcast for- .oi cr. with no hope for future happi- iioss? What is the answer? Would mu please recommend various soc- lill agencies that consider aituat ,ion.s like this? DEAR C.B: It seems to me that extensive experience of living teaches us the waste of trying to run away from mistakes--or trying to bury or disclaim them. Far bet- ter I think. to take them in stride; lll lcrms of accepting responsibil- ity for trying to pick up the pieces. and repair the damage insofar Is possible. i I don't see how you can. in con- Lst-ieiice. treat the tanticipatedl lcrandchildts welfare as being less 'important, overall. than your daughter's happiness. And I won der what might be the long-term cost to her character and mental health and peace of soul, If she were to give the child for adoption lhastily and furtivelyl--in hopes of drawing a curtain on this part of her life forever. You say Dot (let's call her) no longer loves the boy responsible, and to force her into I loveless marriage would be cruel. One might ask: was she ever in love, if she can recoil so quickly. when confronted with a frightening bill for mutual folly. She probably doesn't know what her basic or enduring sentiments are at this time. because she's overwhelmed with immediate paiiic--and shame and resentment and guilt feelings. Her suddcn revulsion to the boy is chiefly indicative of irrespons- ible immature character. I think. She simply blindly wants out of the problem they've precipitated; and by implication blames him for her share of foolhardiness. To some advisers, this unstrung atti- tude of hers might seem to justify a cover-up plan of action. designed to give her a second try at girl- hood. Bui I am not sure this would be the greatest kindness to her in the long run. MIGHT BE HELPFUL if the boy is an aceptable sort-- lhat is, of a decent family known to you, from a social background comparable to yours. with a good reputation generally--the construct- ivc next move might be for the youngsters to marry. in a legal ceremony. to give their child I legitimate start in life. And to es tablish the babels kinship to the natural grandparents. As the prin- cipals are minor-age (and if your religion permits), a quiet divorce for annulment) might follow later. But consult your family lawyer or spiritual director on these points. As for social agencies that care for this type of problem--there are two outstanding associations. each of which has local establishments, and local advisory services. in var- ious parts of the nation. One organization is the Florence Crittento Home Association. head quartered at 608 South Dearborn Street. Chicago. llinnis. (Address inquiries to Miss Virgil Payne. dir- ectorl.

KEEP IN TRIM Low Fat Diet Pallern By Ida Jean Kain ”What foods should members of the Coronary Club avoid?" readers are asking your dietitian. Specific advice in cases of this kind should come from your own doctor. If you are overweight. the doctor will advise that you bring your weight down to the-lean side of normal for your build, since it is known that excess weight increases the work of the heart. As to the dietary rules. the key is moderation. For those who have had a heart attack. the doctor will no doubt suggest a diet low in fat and cholesterol rich foods. Choles terol is a fatty substance that Is suspect it heart disease. Foods richest in cholesterol arc: egg yolk: meat organs such as brains, kidney. liver. sweetbreads and heart muscle; oysters; fat meats; butter, lard. cheese (except cottage cheese), and cream. In vzneral. a low cholesterol dl-' ', unc in which animal fats are reduced to a mini mum and glandular organs are omitted. llowever. studies have revealed that restriction of cholesterol foods is not the solution alone be- cause the body itself can manufac lure cholesterol from the food fat in the diet. By cutting down on dietary fat, both intake and mono facture of cholesterol is lcssened. Since fats are highest in calories, limiting food fat automatically cuts calories. which leads to less weight. Here is a dietary pattern for a low cholesterol diet as outlined by Dorothea Turner in "The Hand book of Diet Therapy" compiled for the American Dietetic Assocl ation.
