Keep the children at home by making them 
proud of it. The most effective and eco-

lawn. Careful arrangement and good plants 
are essential. Our Landscape Department 
has specialized in this work, is familiar with 
Wisconsin conditions, and has probably the 
largest assortment of choice nursery stock in 
the state to select from.

A Brief Communication from 
Rusk County 
“We had a very fine crop of 
strawberries this year, two hun- 
dred 16 qt. crates from one-half 
acre, Warfield and Dunlap.” 
“Lost two fine N. W. Green- 
ings, tops froze all dead this 
spring; they were out three years. 
Dig them up.

Gannas and Kindred Plants 
Plants such as cannas, dahlias, 
gladiolas, and Caladiums should 
have their roots dug lip and 
stored in a cellar where 'the tem- 
perature will not rise above 60° 
nor fall below 50° Fahrenheit. 
The root clumps of cannas and 
dahlias should not be shaken 
free of soil. These plants with 
the soil naturally adhering to 
them should be placed on racks 
or in slat boxes so that air may 
circulate among them. It is 
important that the roots do not 
become too warm or dry and 
that no frost shall reach them. 
The bulbs of gladiolas, Calad- 
iums and tuberoses, on the other I ho 
hand, should be carefully cleaned 
of soil and dried in the open air 
for a day or two. They may 
then be stored in the cellar. 
There is still plenty of time 
to plant hyacinths, daffodils, 
etc., for forcing in the living- 
room this winter.
