Local sports and entertainment playedâ€"a prominent role in the early day activities of the Porcupine.

One of the most interesting of the floating plants is the water hyacmth shown in the accompanyâ€" ing gardengraph. ; This plant has shining dark leaves and orchid blue flowers resembling a hyacinth. bence its name. It also has interesting feathery roots which hang â€"down in the water, as illusâ€" trated. 11 should be used, however, only in a pool which has a sunny location. Anothcer â€" interesting plant is WATER HYACINTH Rover centre Right Wing Cover Point Left Wing W. H. Pritchard Eddy McCoy T. Blackmaxa sy DEAN HALLIDAY Released by Central Press Canadian P. A. Robbins Vicâ€" Emory known as water leltuce. It is a floating plant, as illustrated, which can be used in a shallow pool. It thrives best in a shaded location. The water poppy is still another attractive floating plant which will thrive in a sunny. shallow pool. 1t has long, yellow poppyâ€"like flowers. If you have water lilies in a pool and have been disappointed in the amount of blooms they produce. try giving them extra feedings of dried blood or cow manure. This can be done by preparing a "dinner bag" for each lily plant. Fill a small cheesecloth bag with dried blood or cow manure. Then place it in a Iwole scooped out in the soil in which the lily is rooted. Do this before the bouxes containing the lilies are placed in the pool for the season. : Comrade George Hext gave one o‘ his old favourites and P. J.
