The mechanical condi- tion or "drillability" of fertilizer matérials and fertilizer mixtures is an important property towards their uniform distribution. rn PIP Meee HERBACEOUS PERENNIALS The joy of this class of plants is their longevity, sturdiness and re- linbility, although perhaps not pos- 'sessing 'the spectacular colour that mark the annuals, The freedom, con- stancy and their "ability to thrive un- der adverse conditions win our ap- proval. They remind us of human characters--the stay at homes. We know almost fo a day when they will make their yearly appearance, when they will bloom and when they depart. For regularity and dependability they surely must be a first choice of those who 'are unable to give much time to their garden. The following sogaentions may be helpful in starting a perennial border in the right way. First--Location. A position away from trees. The roots of large trees absorb too much moisture and plant food from the soil for their own use and foliage deprives the plants be- neath them from certain chemical re- actions by the sun. Thus the plants planted in such a position become tall and drawn in their struggle to reach "a place in the sun." Now what about soil is, the next enquiry. Well," whenever possible select a light loam soil, enriched by well rotted manure or leaf mould. While it has been said that peren- nials will thrive even under adverse conditions, they will most assuredly repay you for such extra luxuries as position, good soil, and thorough cultivation. Having location and soil, we next urn our attention to planting, In the majority of plants a good rule to follow is to plant them just deep enough so that the crown or stems which eminate from the root system will not be more than one inch below the surface of the soil. If it is a plant with a large root system be sure that the earth has been thoroughly dug previously. In the case of long tap-rooted perennials such as Gyp- sophila, Anchusa or Oriental Poppy make the hole deep enough to permit planting without bending the root. Make. the hole to suit each plant, not | vice versa. As soon as the plants become established in their new position com- mence cultivation _and always have the soil loose and friable. Tall growing varieties such as Delphinium, and J| Helenium should be staked up as protection against possible damage by wind. It should be mentioned here A per mile in each direction. | tenderer very example. Often | may be kept in bloom throughout the summer by simply picking the flowers as soon as they wither. If left, seed pods form and the plant having ac- complished its purpose simply dies a natural death. Perennials may be planted successfully until quite late in Spring--but certainly better re- sults are obtained by early planting; |" especially early flowering varieties such as Trollius, Bleeding Hearts, Ice- land Poppy, ete.

REDUCTION IN RAILWAY FARES A remarkable reduction in railway passenger fares between Eastern and Western Canada and vice-versa, with Port Arthur as the dividing line, which will benefit enormously the home visitor-and others desiring to travel during the early summer was announced today at the offices of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Na- tional Railways. The announcement stresses the fact that commencing May 31st, and continuing to June 15th, inclusive, ticket offices of the two railways will sell special bargain rail coach trips to points west of Port Arthur and as far as Vancouver and Victoria, B.C., for a rate of one cent The in- clusive selling dates from Western Canada to the east will be from May 24 to June 8. The limit of each ticket will'be thirty days from date of sale. Tickets are good only in coaches and colonist cars, but they will be honored | in tourist sleeping cars subject to a slight extra charge in addition to the ordinary tourist sleeping charge. "Thus the return fare to Winnipeg will be in the vicinity of $25.00. This is approximately one-third of the ordinary return fare and.is almost thirty per. cent less than the fare eharged in the old days of the farm labourers excursions. Stop-overs are permitted at all points en route west of Port Arthur or east, as the case may be. Tickets are only good in Canada via the same line in both directions. They are not good on the Great Lakes. Dining cars will be carried on all trains from Toronto with meals served at a la carte prices. Full information can be obtained from any Canadian National or Canadian Pacific agent. PUT IT IN PRINT and let the people know what you have to sell.
