The spring bulbs have about finished blossoming, the lilacs are nearly though, roses are full of leaves, chrysanthemums are spreading, annuals are up pretty high and vegetables give promise of success ere long. This is the time to get bedding plants into the garden. Baskets of well-started plants are on sale at all florists' shops, and the gardejier who didn't start his own from seed may set these plants out now. Vegetable plants also are on sale in the past few days we have seen cabbage, tomato and pepper plants in the stores. Ttmas Union Photo An investment of less than $100 plus ingenuity and patience on the part of Mr.

and Mrs. Gustave Schwab resulted in this charming rock garden in the yard of their home, 1697 East 93rd Sea View Terrace, Canarsie. The predominant feature is the concrete pool in the center which abounds with tropical fish. A minature birchwood bridge is shown in the foreground. Surrounding the pool are clusters of mountain pinks, azeleas, snowdrops and blue grape hyacinths.

The garden is enclosed on four sides with white lattice work. Mrs. Schwab is shown at the left. W. B.

A. Notes BOTANIC PROJECT HALF COMPLETE Over Radio a Happy Timers: (UK ualn. before I announce Wis winners, thank you and your uear parents for jour many, many kind letters, cards, telegrams and remembrances to me. I am more than grateful to you. The Joy that your thought-fulness brought i ELKIE-JEAV never can be Kpreased adequately.

I also wish to thank the many 4ult readers of this column who spreued such lovely sentiments; I am glad to know that you, too, njoy our column and though you do not contribute, the fact that you read It daily surely does make Hie very happy. I hope that as long as you, who arc all grown up, enjoy the column (0 much, you will ask the children Ot your friends to join our merry group and become Happy Timers. Now, again my sincere thanks to you all, and I assure you that you contributed much to the happiness ef a very happy birthday. I And now I wish to tell my adult readers, and also my high school boys and girls that on Friday, May Si, at 2 I am to read a group of my published poems over station WEAF, and I would like my readers to listen in and let me know how they enjoyed the poema I shall aoDreciate this very much. I think the Merrie Little Elf's Idea is simply great, and I am nap-y to say that those of you who SVve shared the 1 prizes agree.

irriR IJttle Elf and I have "decided that when your work is of equal merit that it is only fair 10 let you share the prizes, and this week again we found so much good work that six of our Happy Timers arc each winning a prize of Jl. I repeat once again for the benefit of our many new members, that if you are faithful you may win Main and again. Happy Timers who win prizes and then stop joining contests are not members in good standing, and must work hard before you can get the Merrie Little Elf to rub the black marks off that appear next to their names. I am very glad that my children have expressed delight with the Merrie Little Elf's new plan of awarding I prizes when work is of almost the same standard. I hate to scold children, but yon know that I am your foster mother and therefore I do want all of you to develop fine characters.

Ingratitude is one of the things that does not make for fine character. To my mind, any member who wins a prize, be It a book, a cash prize or any other sort of recognition, and then fails to write regularly, has something In his or her makeup that is not nice; I want all of mv children to be nice, and the time to develop a fine character is now. not when you are grown. Enough lecturing tor one Sunday, and now I shall let you read a poem. ODE TO THE NIGHT The moon shine far above, And the start are ttcinkling bright, My loi-e ha but to come, To bring a blissful night.

She addressed me, put a stamp on me and mailed me. The next morning, she was terribly excited, waiting for the mail man to come. It is Mother's Day. The postman is handing me to the little girl's sweet mother. The mother takes the card excitedly.

Her eye fill with tears; she knows her littl? girl bought me with the money she had for candy. She knows her little girl had to run errands to earn those few pennies. Years have passed. Every' Mother's Day. they take me out of their old trunk and hang me on the wall for the whole day.

FXSIE JEAN. Odd Fellows By Ah COHEX A more fitting name for Solon Lodge, would be "Samaritan" Lodge, because of its readiness to do deeds of fraternallsm. At its last meeting It staged the first degree for candidates of Louis Kossuth Lodge, last Friday its team put on the first degree for War-schauer Lodge, and tomorrow night the degree workers will portray the same degree for Chaim Solomon Lodge. Never does this lodge lend a deaf ear to those who apply for aid. It asks no questions.

It is surprising to witness the many visitors who attend its meetings, because an atmosphere of fellow ship permeates regularly. Its motto is: If we would have friends, we must be friendly." TP Any Odd Fellow living in the vi cinity of the Putnam Ave. Temple, is cordially invited to participate in the celebration of "Arthur Cohen Night" in Lyceum Lodge. He is deserving of the honors to be be stowed upon him tomorrow. Vice Grand Cutler has arranged a pleasant program for all those who can attend.

At last Tuesday's meeting of Ma-pelton Lodge a class of ten creditable candidates received the third degree, conferred by the degree team of Boro Park Lodge, headed by Deputy Meyer Smolowe. This team Is the most efficient in this particular degree. Mapelton Lodge, through P. G. Edward A.

The eighth anniversary banquet of Boro Park Lodge on May 27 will be celebrated with a banquet floor show and dance. The rendezvous will again be the Benson Manor, Benson ave.

Rotate Crops In Garden If the chrtsanthemums are begin ning to spread among the bulb plants, why not shift them now, and have the space available for some of these bedding plants as soon as the tulips, daffodils and narcissi stems turn yellow It is advisable to plant different types of plants In certain places at intervals ot three years. The same principle applies to flowers as to vegetables.

Crop rotation Is good for the garden. Before long the first of the an nuals will be coining into bloom. In this connection an interesting booklet comes to our attention. It Is issued by the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association, and Is from the pen of Bert Schiller McDonald, Internationally known flower styl ist The booklet, entitled "How to Enjoy Flowers," contains a num ber of practical suggestions for the care and display of flowers. Discussing the necessity of cutting stems cleanly to provide an ample "drinking surface," the book illustrates the need of using a long diagonal stroke and then Immediately plunging the stem into cold water.

Two rules are given two rules that are of extreme importance. So essential are they that we reprint them: Two Imixrtant Rules "Rule Number 1 applies If you want to keep cut flowers the maximum length of time and are willing to sacrifice some of their artistic effect for this result. The rule Is: Have as much of the flower's stem under water as aboe It. "Rule Number 2 should be observed If you are seeking tho most artistic erfect without so much regard for the length of life of the flower. The rule: The total lilght of the container ami flower tijgetlier should be two and one-half times the height of the container alone." Other rules contained In this booklet, summarized, are: Use roomy containers, which permit arrangement and life-giving air.

Be certain that there Is a plentiful supply of water. Keep adding to the water to allow for evaporation. If the flowers show signs of wilting, cut the stems with a long diagonal stroke of a sharp knife. Then plunge into deep, cold water almost up to the blooms but not wetting the flowers. Leave them in a cool, draughtless room for a few hours.

Keep flowers In a room the temperature of which is nearly constant Keep foliage plants In light, airy rooms. Keep flowering plants in the sunshine. Water plants thoroughly when dry. Spray Xo Before the roso bushes produce flowers the gardener should use his sprays so that the plants may be kept free from insects and diseases. Nicotine solution or Bordeaux mixture are good general sprays, but to prevent fungous diseases a sulphur spray is best.

For an all-around spray, taking care of disease and anhldM combine the sulphur and nicotine by using eight parts of flowers ot sulphur, one part tobacco dust and one part pulverized arsenate of lead. Dust the plants with this mixture while the dew still Is on them. The powder will adhere to the plants. Don't water rosea In the evening. The best time la In the morning.

When the buds begin to appear, cut the roses. Don't wait until they are in full bloom. Take the buds Indoors and lot them open away from the direct sunshine. PLAYGROUND PLAN BALKED Sharkty Told Markets Dtpt. N.dt Williamiburgh Sit.

Sharkey to have the Park Department establish a permanent baseball field and playground at the location bounded by Clinton Flushing ave. and Apple st, near the Wallabout Market has met with a setback from the Department of Markets.

Beginning of work on the final, large, undeveloped area of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the three and a half acre north addition between the Brooklyn Museum and the Mt Prospect Reservoir which is more than half completed at the present time, Is recorded by Dr. C. Stuart Gager, director ot the garden, as the major project of the year, in his 23d annual report to the governing committee, which will be Issued this week. Announcing that this area, assigned to the Botanic Garden by tho city in 1911, is under construction. Dr.

Gager recalls the events which delayed the project since the city voted funds for Its completion three years ago. After the city appropriated the funds it canceled them. The officials of the garden then made an appeal to the Federal Civil Works Administration in December, 1933, Dr. Gager reports. In a footnote to the report he adds that the north addition project subsequently was approved and funds provided by the CWA.

The Botanic Garden, Dr. Gager stated, has received assurances that the project will be continued until completed. With a frontage of some 250 feet on Eastern parkway, the addition is intended to serve aa one of the main approaches to the garden. When funds become available, there will be an imposing entrance gate on Eastern parkway. Dr.

Gager also records the completion of the following Important projects in 1938: the local flora or native wild flower garden, comparable to a special exhibit room of a museum, which contains many rare species of the local flora, the Laboratory Plaza, with its circular compajw 18 feet In diameter with a bronze armlllary sphere at the centre which is proving of unusual interest to visitors; the Overlook, 20 feet high commanding a view of the entire Botanic Garden, which also is proving to be one of the most popular spots In the garden. Reporting an increase In attendance at the Botanic Garden again this year, Mr. Gager comments: "While music and art, literature and sclonce, cannot appease hunger, they do minister to fundamental human needs, and their mlnls-trations become increasingly urgent In adversity. It Is especially Important therefore, in periods of unemployment and depressslon that Institutions which meet these needs should not be forced to retrench their activities too greatly. Nearly 110,000, on an average, have come to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden every month during 1 933." Attendance in 1938 increased to 1,815,847.

as compared with 1.307,-964 in 1932 and 1,107.039 in 1931. The 1983 figure is to date the all-time record of attendance at the Botanic Garden. On several Sundays more than 85,000 persons visited the Botanic Garden, Dr. Gager reports, and more than 660,000 persons viewed 21 exhibits prepared by the Botanic Garden in 1933. The program of the garden was carried on in 1933 In the face of a third sharp decrease in Income, Dr.

Gager reports. The decrease in income from the city appropriations and from private funds budget last year totaled 822,782.89, making a total decrease in the last three years of 63,644.04. In accordance with the Botanlo Garden's agreement with the city to furnish plants or botanical material for use in teaching botany In the public schools of the city, 93 potted plants and 4.868 petrl dishes were provided for school use. A total of 718.713 Individual students were reached In tho garden's educational program through conferences with teachers, loan lectures (lantern slides, study mnterial, living plants in class rooms, distribution of plants raised by children and seed packets for home and school gardens. Dr.

Gager points out that the strongest Justification for science In a program of public education is Its ability to teach not only Information about nature, but a "way of thought" which must become a habit of thought if civilization is to advance. He states that the program of public education of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden is or- ganlsed with the aim ot making some contribution to mis result. i'uiaJutW'".
