It is a sure supply and independent of the wind, 
and as representing the most perfect type of auto- | 
matic pump has been installed in the palaces of 
King Edward VII, the Khedive of Egypt and in 
the homes of very many of the most prominent citi- 
zens of the United States. A Hot-Air Pump is a 
permanent investment which will outlast a genera- 
tion; one can now be bought as low as $108.

Plant Peonies in September 
F YOU are intending to plant peonies, 
September is the very best time in 
the year to do it, for then plants have suffi- 
cient time to form new roots before the cold 
weather sets in. Peonies start to grow so early 
in the spring that it is impossible to suc- 
cessfully move them at that season. 
Dig out the soil to a depth of 23 or 3 ft., 
and replace it by rich soil from the compost 
heap. Do this at least one or two weeks 
before planting, so that the soil may settle. 
When planting, be sure to get the crown two 
inches below the surface of the soil. 
Although most peonies may remain in- 
definitely without dividing, yet it is better 
to divide the plants once in seven or eight 
years, for in some varieties the centre dies, 
leaving an irregular ring. Now is the time 
to do it. 
One peony specialist says that the roots 
may be divided and moved just as soon after 
August 15th as the buds are ripe, and not 
later than October 1st. Lift the old root, 
remove the old leaf and flower stalks, and 
divide it into as many pieces as are wanted, 
taking care to see that each piece has a bud. 
Should there be some pieces which do not 
have buds, plant them by themselves. They 
will grow, but not until the second year will 
leaves show above the ground. 
As soon as planted, water thoroughly, 
and see to it that the soil about the roots 
always has an abundance of moisture. 
When the ground freezes give the roots a 
mulch of strawy manure.

The Californian’s Reminder 
HIS is the transplanting month; have 
beds well manured and worked over 
in which to plant out pansies and stocks, and 
sow more seed of each as well as of cosmos, 
gypsophila, and sweet peas. This is the 
first month for planting Dutch bulbs for 
earliest blooming. Native and Australian 
tree and shrub seeds may be planted during 
September. 
A few more sorts of vegetables may be 
planted in September than was advisable 
during August. The hottest weather is 
now past, and we must begin to look forward 
to winter crops. The following may be 
planted: Beets, beans, cabbage (seeds or 
plants of early sorts), carrot, cauliflower 
(seeds or plants), kale, kohlrabi, lettuce, 
onion (seeds or sets), parsnip, peas, radish, 
spinach, turnip. You. should now have 
cabbage and cauliflower to transplant.

IN THE 
ADIRONDACKS | 
No finer place can be found than 
the Adirondacks in September. 
The air is cool and bracing, the 
scenery beautiful and the sense of 
perfect rest that comes with the night 
is delightful. 
This wonderful region is reached 
from all directions by the 
“America’s Greatest Railroad.”
