The evergreen hedges are I re- fuge for these little songbirds and the hedges are almost filled with their nests. it is possible for them to save their young in the hedge from some of their enemies. This 15 one very good reason for planting evergreen hedges and now is the time to begin. it is I beautiful hedge for every sea- son of the year.

It is always interesting to visit g .buy good soil showing and pink begonias with s ma l 1' rosettes like roses. At this season of the year in country homes it is not unusual to see the women folk out gather- ing up good soil for these seeds and house plants. LET'S GET DOWN TO EARTH Soil. the basic stuff of life. con- sists of the upper layer of earth in which plants grow and obtain their food. It is formed by phy- sical and chemical weathering due to interaction between wind, water. heat. cold ice. plant growth and animals. Country gardeners can get good soil quite easily II there are many kinds of soil available for the gathering. It in a different story for those who live in cities. and gardeners must before they can grow a garden. At this season of the year in the country it is wise before the busy farm work begin to bring good soil and manure near the borders where you can use it without too much heavy carrying. it is impossible to have I flour- ishing garden without suitable soil which contains everything the plants need. There is I heavy clay soil here Ind and and ashes as wall In humus in the form of manure: of various kinds Ire added each season. Today I sowed seeds of fragrant Stocks and Snapdragon in many colors to I hotbed. The snapdra- gons sown several weeks ago have been transplanted Ind this year I hope to hIve more of these reliable summer blooming flowers. Sweet Peas have also been sown and this year at I later data than last season.
