In strawberries make cerâ€" tain that one of the varieties produces both male and female flower parts, otherwise disappointment will follow. Parson‘s Beauty, a perfect variety, and Portia, an imperfect, make two good sorts, the latter being especially fine for canning purposes. In raspberries the Herbert and Newâ€" man No. 28 are two of the best. For home use, unless a cenning berry is desired, probably the Herbert is the best selection. In currants, for a red iry Red Cross, Perfection or Fay‘s Prolific, while in Every home gardan should grow some small fruits to keep the table supplied with a fresh product. Strawâ€" berrics, _ raspberries, curranis and gooseberries are easily grown and the quantity to be planted can be judged from the yields they generally give. For instance; a thirtyâ€"foot row of strawberries will produce from twentyâ€" five to forty quarts of fruit if well cared for, raspberries about half that amount, while two or three bushes. of currants will yield enough for an averâ€" age family of five and the same numâ€" ber of gooseberries will supply the gooseberry jam for the season. ‘ All fruits may be planted in early spring, and all except strawherries may be also planted in the fall. If the plants are in good condition when set out the transplanting will not, if done early enough, cause any set back. TORONTO It Looked Like a Case of "Please Omit F lofié;é;'; Pointers on Small Fruits in the Home Garden VERTICAL By M. B. Davis, B.S.A Sheffield plate sllver and copper The lily of fleurâ€"deâ€"lis is the national flower of France. The cost of transmitting a picture from London to New York by radio is between $30 and $40. The computaâ€" tion is based on the number of words that could be sent at toll dates during the thirty minutes required for he transmission of the picure. "What is it, Margaret, dear?" asked her mother ,anxiously. "I don‘t want to sit next to Mary," wailed Margaret, "But why not, dear?" "Well," said Margaret, "sho‘s got freckles, an‘ I might catch them." Two children were at a teaâ€"party. It was evident from the tears of one of them that something was wrong. The idea of keeping cut flowers has,’ by the way, been taken much fux‘ther.t A friend of mine dipped the blooms off her favorite flower in a solution of gum; arabiv. They were then hung down to. dry, and, after three such coatings I am told that the blooms kept fresh for months. ‘The gum does not spoil their beauty in the least, and, owing to beâ€" ing transparent, is hardly noticeable. Silver vases, it will be found, are apt to make roses fade very quickly, and it is a good idea to use a little mortar in the water. A much more satisfactory method, however, is to use wet sand in place of water. Where vases or bow!s, other than glass ones, are used, it not only keeps the flowers fresh longer than water, but has an additional advantage in keeping the container stable and less easy to knock over. Flowers cut early in the morning will last much longer than if cut later in the day, while those taken before they are in full blossom will outlive either. On the other hand, a little powâ€" dered charcoal placed in the bottom of the vase will successfully revive the faded ones. The water should, of course, be changed each day, and it will add much to their lives if the stems of the flowers are wiped before replacing. (me of the greatest present difficulâ€" ties in successful raspberry culture is the control of a disease called mosaic. This is quite readily recognized by the mottled appearance of the leaves and, as the plant gets older, by the yellowâ€" ing of the foliage and the stunted, unâ€" thrifty appearance. The only control is to remove all affected plants and destroy. If this is not done the whole patch is liable to succumb to the trouâ€" ble. Don‘t neglect to protect the strawâ€" berry bed in fall by an application of straw. There are many disappointed people this spring who neglected that recaution last autumn. In growing fruits plenty of manure is an essential, and in the first year of the strawberry bed a little nitrate of soda applied about a month after setâ€" ting the plants, hastens early runner formation, which means a bigger crop the follo#wing year. In gocseberries one must confine oneself to the American sorts like Downing or Pearl. Silvia and Charles, two new introductions, will soon be available and are much better in size and quality. the blacks the Saunders bybrids have proved the best. These are Climax, Kerry, Saunders, Magnus.

Canada‘s attractions to tourists have to speak largely through her smaller communities, This year there will be many more visitors than usual. Why not do what we can to put on the best front possible,"so that our visitors can carry away, a good imâ€" pression. Surely a leader can be found in each community who is ambiriious enough to start a cleanâ€"up and dressâ€" up movement. A $150,000 Tabl» It used to be that railway stations had an unkempt appearanceo, but toâ€" day stationmasters vie with each other to see which can make his station the more attractive, and this rivalry and enterprise is appreciated so much by the railway that prizes are provided. _ It is a regrettable fact, however, 'flllt in far too many Canadian muniâ€" cipalities a spirit of "dor‘t care" perâ€" vades the residents, and this is eviâ€" denced in the appearance of the vilâ€" lage. The roadways are in good conâ€" dition, but the sidewa‘ks are dilapiâ€" dated, the fences are out of repair, and tidiness and the planting of flowers is unthought of It is with a sigh of relief that probâ€" ably the next place through which the driver passes has some leader among the residents who has inspired them with a feeling of pride in their home village, and what a difference it makes. You can feel it as soon as you enter the place. You would like to stop, because it is inviting and apâ€" pealing, and there is a spirit of welâ€" come at every turn. Is it any wonâ€" der that such places go ahead? Time was when anything would do, but that day is past, and, it is hoped, will never return.
