Dairy Tubular Cream Separators 

 are entirely different from all others 

 — are simple, sanitary, satisfactory. 



Mr. St. John Backus, of Sloan, Iowa, 

 writes:— "I bought a Tubular "A" 

 No. 6. Before buying this separator 

 I tried seven makes. None was 

 satisfactory, so decided to try your 

 Tubular. I found it more 

 than satisfactory, and 

 could 1 not have returned 

 the other makes, 

 as I did, I would 

 have consigned 

 them to the 

 scrap pile." 



Made in the world's 

 greatest separator fac- 

 tory. Branchfactories

 many. Sales exceed 

 most, if not all,others 

 combined. Write for catalogue No. 215.

A Solution of the Perennial 

 Poppy Problem 



THE fallen stick of a burned out skyrocket is 

 no more hopelessly useless than an oriental 

 poppy after it has shed its fiery bloom. But Fourth 

 of July is not complete without its skyrockets and 

 neither is early June in the hardy border without its 

 oriental poppies. 



Given a garden of limited proportions and even 

 more limited time for its cultivation, the perennial 

 poppy section is a gardening problem that is a 

 puzzler. A blaze of scarlet for two weeks and in 

 two weeks more a patch of weeds is the history of an 

 unrestrained perennial poppy bed. 



Having struggled with the poppy problem for 

 several seasons with indifferent success or absolute 

 failure, I chanced upon an altogether adequate and 

 satisfactory solution of covering the declining glory 

 of the oriental visitor. 



Salvias were the first experiment. They took too 

 long to grow large enough to form a mass of foliage 

 and bloom. I had tried marigolds, but made the 

 mistake of using the African variety; it is too tall and 

 leggy and potting only magnifies these defects. 

 The French marigold seems to be the ideal annual 

 but it is a nuisance to sow and transplant annuals 

 into pots and look after them for two months when 

 you have to be your own gardener with not any 

 too much time. 



Then I bought some new varieties of poppies and 

 noted that in growing them in pots the tap roots 

 were cut and a new root system formed. I dug the 

 poppies as soon as they were done blooming, clipped 

 the long tap roots and potted them up, sowing the 

 vacant space to annual poppies. This scheme 

 worked out well except that there was a considerable 

 period while the annuals were germinating and 

 growing to blooming size. 



The potted oriental poppies made a fine root 

 growth, sent up their fall leaf growth in the pots and 

 did not suffer from being moved as they bloomed 

 freely the following spring. When raising seed- 

 ling poppies, I now run a long bladed knife 

 under the rows of plants after they are two or three 

 months old, make them form a fibrous root system 

 and then find it an easy matter to transplant them. 

 But digging poppies is too laborious a task to be 

 undertaken every year; there is other work in the 

 garden demanding attention. 



Stray seedlings of- the perennial aster Mrs. F. W. 

 Raynor came up among the poppies two years ago. 

 The foliage of the poppies suppressed those too close 

 but the asters just outside the circumference of the 

 rosette of poppy foliage flourished and by the time 

 the poppies had disappeared, the bed was a fine 

 mass of luxuriant asters, and in late August and 

 September the perennial poppy bed gave another 

 fine display of bloom. 



A well grown poppy has a diameter of a little over 

 two feet. It is an easy matter in planting new beds 

 in the fall to place the asters and poppies so that 

 they do not interfere with each other and the poppy 

 bed gives two fine crops of bloom a season and is 

 never bare.
