not move beardless or bulbous kind.
Set out fall crocus as soon as
available. Start lily 6eeds In flats.
Soak Texas bluebonnet seed and
native mountain laurel seed in

mination easier.
Wpter plants during the day to
have leaves dry at night, or you
will have mlldrew trouble.
Sow cosmos, celoslas and zinnias
now In vacant spots in your flower
border. They will reach flowering
size quickly.
Remove seed heads from spring
blooming perennials. Spray cape
Jasmine and crepe myrtle with nic-
otine sulfate solution when aphids
are present. From your evergreens
handpick and burn bagworms.
Mulch roses now. Remove some
of the oldest stems on climbing
roses to encourage new flowering
growth. Dust roses every seven days
to prevent black spot.
Dig and divide violets now. Cut
off all old leaves, and place on your
compost heap.
Pinch back chrysanthemums to
keep them compact.
Sink house plants such as gera-
niums and coleus Into your flower

Telephone woke me out of a sound
sleep last Friday about eleven-
thirty. “This is Whitey Fisher out
on River Road,” says s voice. "I
just wanted to tail you how much
I like this week’s Cltfrfon."
"Thanks, Whitey," I told him.
"But why in blazes call to tell mo
St thia time of night?" "Simple,"
ho says, “your paper boy juat de-
livered it a short while ago. Been
waiting for it all evening."
Next day, Buzzy Wilson tells mo
ho delivered Whitey’z paper lata
because he stayed for the school
dance and thought it would bo OK
to drop it off on his way homo.
From where 1 sit. I can’t hlam#
Whitey for his Joke. He waa jaal
reminding me we owe other people
the same respect w# expert trmm
them. Since I’m alwaya talking
about respecting the other fellow^
rights—including his right to enjop
a glass of beer If he chooses. It waa
only fair that Whitey ahould “wabe
me up" to hit right to get hla coff
of the Clarion on time. Thanks
again, Whitey!
