a THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE White Hedge Lovers, as a Rule, Prefer the Evergreens as Hedge Material, Calla Lilles Are Used to Advantage in Some Places. SPEAKING OF HEDGES By LIMA R. ROSE, More and more the hedge is coming oto its cwn, For miles and miles along the New Jersey coast, reaching from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt, ls the most continuous stretch of country homes in America. Million- aires, near-millionaires, people with money and people who are merely com- fortable have made this region a show plu of never-ending interest. There are more millionaires among the home owners of this ene spot than the en- tire realm of England holds. They have discarded the fence al- most entirely and mile after mile of privet comes into view as one motors along the smooth, beautifully kept roads, There are also, in the Pacific region, hedges of geraniums five feet high, hedges of calla lilies and of roses, but the substantial, serviceable evergreen hedge is the last word for elegance and utility, and the New Jersey coast of- fers the best possible field for its study. Here is how the landscape garden- ers of this section handle the plants: Before the plants are brought to the ground a quantity of top soil is pro cured for the purpose of filling in about the roots. They need lots of moisture to keep them healthy and to maintain the rich green color. Then the transplanting is done in the spring and the plants are handled with care to prevent the roots ¢rom being dried out by the wind. The evergreens that run from 12 to 24 inches are set from 8 to 12 inches apart. The larger plants can be placed with 18-inch intervals. In order that the evergreens may be bushy, they are pruned when of the hedge easy. The spring time is taken for the pruning, because the plants are then resuming their growth and the process finds its best results, | Starting at the beginning, the first thing to do is to dig a trench wide enough not to cramp the roots, so that they can spread flat and not touch the sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stable manure is worked in the trench with the soil. fter the planting a coating of manure is placed on the sur! of the soil, covering all of the earth that has been disturbed. his mulch fs left n place for a year, and is then usual-| ly worked into the soil. Where double-row hedges are re quired the plants are set in rows six to nine inches apart and the plants | from 6 to 16 inches apart in the rows. The whole eastern coast is begin- ning to show the effect of hedge cul- ture, “Newport, the queen of summer resorts, Long Island and all of the oth- er show regions are literally marked with the natural substitute for the fences, DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. Flowers, like genius, belong in the family of democracy. The one is just 48 pat to pick out a log cabin as a palace for its home. President Wil- son, Speaking at the log cabin in which e “ ~ Abraham Lincoln was born, called at- tention to this feature of genius. When he said that genius picked its society as it willed, without regard to the status of the persons, he also called attention to one of the distinctive, at- tributes of flowers, I am reminded of this idea by one of the most recent social events among the millionaires of the East. Down on Long island, where there are scores of palaces more costly than anything that any king ever dreams of building, a number of rich women came together for an entertainment. They had three elegant prizes to be awurdec. For what, you ask. Bridge? No. These women of the aristocracy of money came together, each bearing a little basket, to compete for the prizes that were given for the best arranged basket of flowers that had been grown by the woman who arranged the hand basket. $ All of the money commanded by peo- ple who consider one with a mere mil- lion poor, could not provide these wom- en with a pleasure that the poorest child of the log cabin cannot enjoy. What child is there in the land who cannot pick and arrange a bunch of posies with as much freedom as the wealthiest of these grand dames? I think it a good idea. Why not have little contests at which the taste and good judgment of the members of each little circle of a community will be tested by the arrangement of flow- ers? Oné need not award cut glass and silver prises. There can be just as much rivalry and competition where the prize is but a ribbon. And when the award is made the committee that | Judges the prizes ought to be made to ated, |. @& ond this makes the subsequent shaping tell exactly why one bouquet or basket is better arranged than another. The members should say in what respect one set of flowers is better grown than | another. Thus will be established an inter- change of ideas as to the growing of plants and flowers and the artistic sen- sibilities of each contestant will be de- veloped while the stock of general in- forn ion will be improved. Flowers are the true democrats. They ure as sweet for the p: for the prince. There is ab bar to a study of their beauties would like to know that in a million homes the example of this rich coterie on Long island is being followed to the profit of other people and to the bet- ter production of the pretty things of life, JAPANESE MAPLES One can go a long way and do worse than to pick the Japanese maple for ornamental effect. The elegance of the tree, its rich coloring and its decorative value cannot be overestimated. One should always take «are to give the maple a sunny position to fully de- velop its rich coloring. In the spring and summer it should be liberally wa- tered. It is important to keep the soil loose about the base of the trees and under no circumstances should the pruning knife be applied.

In a home where every penny must be carefully spent, the wise little mother washes the ap ples to be fed to her growing children, pares and cores them and puts the peelings and cores in a glass jar well sealed un- til she has enough to boil up and make a glass or two of jelly. Where one is able to buy apples by the barrel they should be carefully watched and a few cans of them put up occasion- ally so that there need be no wast The peelings and cores w Strained and put into the vinegar making a fine clean vinegar which you know Is wholes Apples should be Sauce, in puddings of various kinds, relish for roast pork, as salads, fried with onions as a vegetable; In fact, there are numberless ways of saving every apple; nothing, not even the skin, need be wasted. Surgeons’ plaster to mend rubbers is not new, but is a most effective remedy. It also makes a fine marker for the rubbers, as the name may be written on it in ink, and If a small spring clothespin is furnished to the child she will be able to keep the rub- bers together. Use raffia for tying gifts; it can be bought in colors or you can color a bunch easily. It is strong, cheap and adds a festive touch to the package which Its lacking in string.
