If moved with their roots in a ball of earth, heavily budded chrysan- t‘ .nums can be shifted without much shock. You may buy plants now or move some of your own to brighten up a spot in your border. Reset them at once at their former level. no deeper. Water often ..nd generously so that every small bud is encour- aged to swell to full size. Taller V‘rieties wlll look better if stoked. Next spring grow a number of plants in clay pots. pinching them back several times during the seqson to keep them low and bushy. At Thanksgiving time when the plants are in full bloom Their rich, clear colors make a revel of 'yellow, red, rose and bronze for a long season as they often survive the early frosts. 7 Now is the time to'look about yuu and to select the varieties you would like to grow next year. Chrysanthemums are the glory of the fall gardener. coming along when the perennials are long over and the annuals are getting a 71i_ttle _seedy. _ By R. Hill Horticultural_ Socjety Butter churning was one of the pioneer activities demonstrated at the Second Annual Pioneer Festival of the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Auth- ority held Saturday. Sepember 27h at the Dalziel Conser- vation Area. Mrs. Robert Burton, right, is churning but- ter in an authentic mid-nineteenth century churn. Mrs. Edwin Roden works the butter in a woodenbowl while Mrs. Andrew énider, centre, is “printing” the butter into pounds. ‘ ’our garden an If the plants become frozen in December and remhin so until March there is little loss. How- ever in our district they are of- ten subjected to alternate thaw- ing 1nd freezing. Their shallow roots may be heaved and broken. So a good winter mulch is indi- cated. Use one which will not pack such as straw or hay. Watch your plants carefully in the spring and remove the mulch gradually as growth appears. Another thing to be done this month is to set out new peony roots or to divide your own plants. Peonies thrive for many years in their original setting but if you wish to divide a clump lift it carefuly, wash it free of earth with the hose and cut into sections, each having three or four good buds. There are not many new peony varieties.‘ The old favorites are hard to beat, , One which we ad- mired very much last season was Pico, a large pure white, single with white stigmas. It was as cool and refreshing as a water lily and most effective in ar- rangements. You may have a long season of peony blooms. and they are so satisfactory for cutting if you choose‘ your varieties. '- In years past the ability of Chrysanthemums to winter over was rather. doubtful. More hardy varieties have been developed which often survive if left to shift for themselves but they are well worth a‘little extra care. they provide home decoration and attractive gifts. A very versatile plant indeed! r r Peonies like a fairly heavy soil, well drained. They will not bloom if set too deeply. The root buds should be kept within an inch or two of the surface. For early blooms plant Philippe Revoir (red and fragrant), M. Jules Eke (light pink) -and the always popular Festiva Maxima (white with crimson flecks). Mid- season bloomers are; Felix Crouse (red), Sarah Bernhardt (rose), Therese (light pink) and Kelway's Glorious (white). Bring your peony cavalcade to a close with Martha Bulloch (dark pink), Myrtle Gentry (light pink) and Elsa Sass (white). If you have a gardening prob. lem it may be addressed to the Richmond Hill Horticultural So- ciety, c/o 308 Richmond Street. Questions are also welcomed at the monthly meeting of the so- ciety.

Mr. Dennis traced the history of a typical book from its inception ‘as an idea jotted down on the back of an en- velope, through the various stages of manuscript, galley proof, rough sketches, illustrat- ions, and final printing. Problems in connection with the writing of texts were ill- ustrated by Mr. Dennis by spec- ific reference to books he had worked on, and by Mr. Kunz with clever chalk sketches on the blackboard. A text-book. said Mr. Dennis. is a tool: and. to be an effective tool. it must have three c‘harect- eristics: it must be‘ authentic; it must be appealing and ‘easy'to read; and yet it must be hard enough to offer a challenge.~1h- to the making of a book which At the close of the meeting the executive committee met for an hour in the teachers' room at Henderson, to make further arrangements for the Fun Fair which the Association is hold- ing at the school on Saturday afternoon, October 25.
