NEW HYBRID CARNATIONS
By L. M. BENNINGTON.
Thanks to the skill of the hybridist
we now have races of lovely, fragrant,
ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and
bushy in growth, that show buds and
f wers in four or five months after
the seeds are sown.
The flowers, too, are not only borne
in abundance, but are of all the lead
ing shades of color, from white
through shades of pink to dark crim
son, and from cream to bright yellow,
as well as striped and blotched.
These new carnations are as easily
grown as Japan pinks. The seeds may
be sown in a box in the window dur
ing March or April, and the plants set
out where they are to bloom when the
weather becomes warm and settled.
* Give them a sunny bed, and if you
wish a fine show of flowers from each
plant, pinch off the first stem that
pushes up to bloom. This will cause
the plant to stool out, and develop sev
eral stalks, each of which will bear
a cluster of buds and flowers.
A rich, rather tenacious soil suits
the plants, and they should stand eight
Inches apart In the row or bed.
For winter blooming sow the seeds
in May or June and grow in pots, shift

The seedlings are rarely troubled
with rust, which is the bane of the
florist’s plants, grown from cuttings.
The seeds mostly germinate in from
five to seven days
MULCH YOUR PLANTS
If the season is warm, and the soil
seems likely to dry out rapidly, water
your plants well, and mulch about
them with road dust. This will pre
vent the rapid evaporation of mois
lure from about^ the roots of the
plants. Larger plants can be mulched
with grass clippings from the lawn
FLOWER LIST FOR AMATEUR

cutting. If care is taken not to allow
it to develop seed, it will blossom
during the entire season.
Plant at least three inches deep and
as early as possible. Be sure and
give a support of brush or of wire
netting. The brush is preferable.
Among the old standbys is the
petunia, which begins to bloom in
June and keeps on blooming until
frost. The flowers are showy and
easily grown.
Phlox drummondi and the verbena
are both profuse bloomers with a
wide range of color and no garden
should be without them.
Nasturtium, calllopsis, the poppy
and marigold are old tried and true
favorites and should not be over
looked.
The most fragrant of flowers, the
mignonette, the pansy, the ten week
stock, the aster and the snapdragon
should all find a place in the garden,
however small it may be. A corner ot
bachelor’s button, the ragged robin,
requires little care and makes a glori
ous splotch of color.
These are all old favorites, all are
good, easily grown, and all are kinds
that the beginner in gardening will
soon get on friendly terms with.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 24.—A Local
League in Action.—A report from the
Local Business League of St. Joseph,
Mo., says in part:
“The Local League here has in
creased its membership threefold and
is endeavoring to fill the place in the
community for which it is ordained.
The outlook to that end is very en
couraging. The basic plan of action
as adopted is ‘one thing at the time.’
For the present the task before us
is that of getting our institution of
charity, a hospital and orphanage for
Northwestern Missouri, organized and
endowed. Of course there are many
niner activities engaging our atten
tion from time to time as our leagu6
s becoming the clearing horse for
all ideas, projects and efforts of a
3ocial and economic nature.”
CHRISTIANITY.
Christianity is the one religion
which proffers to save a man without
eliminating, mutilating or starving
some part of his essential nature.
Christianity saves men wholly. Bud
dha called upon men to realize their
nothingness; Jesus helped men to be
come all that it was possible for them
‘o become. Buddha said that life was
evil and promised men a heaven of
unending sleep. Jesus said that life
was good and promised men a heaven
of unending growth. Epictetus bid
men suppress their emotions and urg
ed them to deny gratification to their
feelings. Jesus aided men to deepen
and to strengthen and to direct their
tmotions. Christianity is not a re
pressive religion; it enables men to
express themselves fully and finely.
Christianity does not impoverish life;
it enriches it. Christianity does not
narrow life; it expands and enlarges
it. Men become not less but more
their real selves as they become di
sciples of Jesus. A petty starved na
ture is not that of a Christian. An
emasculated anoemic life is not a
Christian life. Christ imparts both
vitality and virility. He awakens un
dreamed of depths of vitality in our
beings. He makes our personalities
deep and rich. He imparts to us life
and life evermore abundantly. A thor
ough-going Christian should have a
healthier body, a stronger reason, a
kinder heart, a firmer will, and a rich
er imagination than his fellows. Be
ing a Christian means being increas
ingly broad-minded anl large-hearted
and deep-spirited. It means being an
exuberant son of God. Christianity is
not self-denial; it is self-realization.
It is not primarily a creed or a chore
or a ceremony; it is life becoming
full, free and fine, and rich, radiant
and rejoicing. It is life journeying
toward wholesomeness.—W. T. McEl
even, in “The Advance.”
The managing editor wheeled his
chair around and pushed a button in
the wall. The person wanted entered.
"Here,” said the editor, “are a num
ber of directions from outsiders as to
the best way to run a newspaper. See
that they are all carried out”—and
the office boy, gathering them all into
a large waste basket, did so.—Wash
