3 kts > - : ie =e Lo THE DRYDEN OBSERVER T To Start a Flower is After the necessary grading is done decide on and mark out the main walks These may be grass or gravel at the discretion of the grower. If they are to be of gravel, remove six inches of the surface grass on soil (mre if you care to) and replace with gravel. The space assigned to the lawn should be dug over and may be seeded to grass in May. Assuming there is grass already present and in fair con- dition, cut it short as possible and spread over a thin layer of rotten manure and fine soil. If swept about at weekly intervals, this will work in the uneven parts and level the ground. A goed beginnng. Whether it is intended to Yow flowers; fruits or vegetables, ground should: be spaded to a depth of 18-in. at least. Or better still trenched to a depth of 1% to 2 feet, _and rough strawymanure worked into the bottom soil. With the surface eighteen inches well rotten manure and bone meal should be incorporated. A good be- ginning makes all the difference in the ultimate success or failure of a garden. The next procedure will be to decide where the hedges--if space warrants as ways an attraction with perhaps a creeper-covered arbor 'at one end. The path beneath the pergola may be paved with stones of varying sizes. Failing a pergola, introduce arches and pillars (rough poles eight, to ten or twelve feet high) for rambling roses. As the ground will he newly trenched, it will be better to defer planting the roses until it settles. . What plants to choose. What to plant to secure a per manent easily cared for home garden is the question of questions. It is a long process to find out for one's self what plants can be relied upon for vigor and permanence. Naturally, locality is one determining factor.! There will be few mistakes if varieties locally accepted as hardy and in every way worth while are selected for the foun- dation of the garden. Kinds which attract because of personal interest or rarity can be experimented with at leisure once we have secured the gar- den feeling with the tr usty, generous, long-serving kinds. Familiarity and commonness are in no sense to be av- oided. The plants which have longest served mankind are richest in legend and folk-names, and so are most sug- gestive i nthe home garden.

It depends how much is to be spent in stocking a garden whether quantities of peren- | ial roots should be purchased or most {of them raised from seed. It is not a difficult matter to grow most of the perennials from seed, which if sown' | in the late spring or early summer will | produce plants that will flower the flioming year.

A selection may include asters, stocks, sweet peas, zinnias, clarkias, godetias, larkspurs, calendula, offici- nalis, cornflowers, poppies, candytuft, corcopsis, nemesia, and mignonette. To these add bulbs of gladiolus, and the grower will be rewarded by an ample display of bloom the first sum- mer of his gardening operations. Ottawa, M fay. 8, 1923. Recip rocity Complaints from Wage Earners Corsumers in United States New' York Times says both Countries need each other-- Farmers' View New York, May 15--The Times, in an editorial on the reciprocity propo- sal made by Hon, W. S. Fielding, Can- adian Minister of Finance, endorses reeciprocity between Cznada and the United States says: "There is no geographical barrier between the United States and Can- ada, and the facility of inter-commun- ication is such that the free and un- interrupted interchange of products between these two nations is to the advantage of both. Need Each Other-- "America needs Canada and Canada " During the year 1922 nearly forty percent of Can- ; adian exports went to the States and more than sixty- five per- 2 and cent of the imports came from this ent absorb | country. Chnada can well more American goods, and the United ! States can offer Canada a much great- | er market for certain of her products. & 'Ferguson and the Temperance Act FE ok x No Repeal Without a Vete--Enforce- ment Without Fanatacism Huntsville, Ont. May 15--A brief statement of his attitude towards the Ontario Temperance Act was made here tonight y Hon. G. Howard Fer- guson, Conservative leader. He was asked, "If you are returned to office, will you make any change in the O. T.A. without the question being sub- mitted to the people?" "I will answer that frankly," re- plied Mr Ferguson, "when the i Temperance Act is changed, it must be in a way in which it' was enacted." Replying to the second question as to whether he would enforce the Act fearlessly the Conservative leader de- clared that most of the respect for the Act and a great deal of ts usefulness had been largely destroyed by the manner in which the Act had been administered by the Drury Govern- ment. ; ; "If 1 become Prime Minister," he continued, "I will follow the course laid down by the late Sir James Whit- ney, and that will be to attempt to i was create a sentiment which will dictate the manner in which the liquor legis- lation is to be enforced and it will not be to attempt to penalize people or compel them to take any particular United | 1p of thought." Asked further as to his manner of orcement, Mr Ferguson replied he would enforce the Act to the letter, { "but. in the spirit in which the Act passed, and not in a spirit of fanaticism." a 4 i | JECT OIL We have a. good stock be Gasoline, Rutoadn, Auto, Tractor ard Steam Cylinder Oil; and cup Auto Tires We are made by the Dunlop Tire and Ru as well as those made by, the Greg Castor Machine Oil, Cream Sep parator (Jil, Spots J arid Tubes also putting in a stock of Automobile Tires and Tubes, bber Goods Company Limited ory Tire and Rubber Company.
