CHICAGO PRODUCE FUTURES Chicago, March 81.--Strength yesterday on eggs was eomewhaat unexpected, in view of Monday's close, which was vigibly easy. No doubt some encouragement result- ed from comparative shrinkage of receipts at New York. Available trading stock also showed a ten- dency to lessen and movement into storage fell considerably below that of last year, All of which contributed to a fairly good up- turn on futures, With March butter future out of the way, tension was relaxed today and both cash and deferred deliveries sold lower, Some un- certainty still prevails in certain quarters on spot.

We can sow the tirst of | these just as soon as the ground is rdady, and we can continue sowing them at intervals of a week for about a month. This will give us a much longer season and a succes. sion of very necessary vitamines at a time 'when we are just getting over the effects of a long diet of starchy, stored foods or ingipid, im. ported southern stuff. In all of these the new varities listed in the seed catalogue represent a vast im- nrovement over the old. We can wocure a Spinach now that will be ready for the table weeks ahead of the old kinds, and we can also plant late varieties which will keep our table supplied with greens right up into July before going to seed. With the first of these early leafy vege- tables should go in the first sowing ot peas. We are only beginning to tind out in this country that the hest and largest erops of peas come from the ently planted seed, This vegetable will stand considerable frost and a snowfall after planting should not be viewed with alarm hut as a good omen. The early var. ioties will begin to bear in 45 days £0 that we can plan our first meal of this delicious vegetable right down to the minute. At this time too we should put in the first sows Ing of radish. A week or two later set in the eocond sowing of the leafy vegetables and the radish, the matin sowing of peas, which should in- clude at least one late, one mednm and one early variety. so that we prolong the season to its maximum, the first of the Deets and Carrots and halt of the early Potatoes. It Is good business at this period to risk a row or two of corn and beans, If a lato frost catches them it is a small loss any way. In the third planting group will come cabbages, cauliflower and potatoes which should not go ort until danger from frost is past, and a little later when the soll really warms up we can plant melon#, cucumber and eelery, Outside of the really early things such as peas, spinach and lettuce, which make thelr growth during cool weather, there is little object In rushing the season and particu- larly in regard to those hot weather crops such es tomatoes, melong, cu. cumbers and the main plant of corn. Even if these do escape a light, late frost they will not start to grow un- til the soll and weather really warms up. A REMOVABLE GARDEN If wo are one of those fortunate The Garden Beautiful persons who have a long holiday at some summer cottdge in prospect there is no reason why we canno. prepare our garden now and take it with us. This plan might also be adopted by the plutoerat with a string of summer cottages or road- side cabins to rent, Most people, even the tenant of a week or 24 hours, will appreciate surroundings all the more if they include flowers and possibly a few onions and let. tuce so that fresh salads are pos- sible, Practically all our annual flowers and vegetables can be start ed in flats indoors, later hardened by transplanting into 'cold frames or shallow boxes, after which they Arrangements can usually be made with some permanent resident in the locality of the summer cottage to prepare the garden and pos sibly plant some of the bulky and late vegetables such as potatoes and corn. The first nice week-end or holiday in the Spring we can motor up, and superintend the work our. selves, planting those early vege tables like spinach, lettuce and rad- ish. Those that we transplant, take ing them up to the cottage garden in June or even July will include tomatoes, melons, cabbage, celery, egg plants and such things, among the vegetables, and zinnias, comas, marigolds, petuniag, w»esturtiums, calendulas and other flowers. If we ~an get these to our summer garden in June we should plant the seed tn shallow hoxes at home about the lant of April, but it we are not going up until July it will be necessary to delay planting a few weoks longer 10 that the stuff will not be too big to move. ROCK GARDEN Rock gardening offers the solu- tion for hundling any steeply rising niece of ground and in addition to beautifying sneh a spot forms one of the most fascinating bits of work a person may tackle. In this sort of gardening the underlying prin. ciple is to create an environment for Alpire plants, We turn our ac- tual or nn artificial one, into a minfeture goetion of the Alps or the Rocky Mountains, We have out nenks, our upper gravelly valleys and our lower Alpine meadows. It ie ndvirable to use irregular stones, arranging these carefully so as te get the mountain effect but also so that they are securely anchored in the soll with the earth between eon- ndcted up with the core of the slope 10 that the roots can penetrate to fairly permanent moisture. Where an elaborate garden is planned, one should provide himself with special literature as in creating a difficult lane, replica of this kind thero is great danger in overdoing the thing. It is usually necessary to bury the stones about two-thirds their depth in the soil and the site must be well drain. ed. In a later article lists of sult able plants for the rock garden will be given, PLANTS ELIXIR IN FORM OF GINSENG BUT GETS LOBWORT Montreal Man Wants To Know If His Act Is Criminal Montreal, April 1.--Thaw and hopeful weather had the unusua) effect of dashing the hopes of a man who went into the stenogra- phers' department of the criminal courts a short time ago, to find out if, on the dismal failure of his five-year gardening plan, he was not actually a criminal, An Outremont resident, the visi- tor, who gave his name as Kenny, sald he had spent five years ralsing a crop of 'ginseng, only to find out with the thaw that revealed strong young shoots that the cinquefoliate plant he had heen cossetting was something very different in genus and species from the valuable plant that Orientals buy at fabu- lous prices because of its supposed semi"miraculous powers as an elixir, To the stenographers, who oblig- ingly ransacked their fund of ref- orence books, encyclopedias and statute volumes for his informa- tion, Kenny confided that five years ago about this time of the vear he had found in a package of lichee nuts a curious slip of a. plant that he immediately jdenti- fled as ginseng. He planted it un- der a bell jar and watched with dafly pride as the dessicated leaves filled out and new ones budded. "This morning," Kenny told the sympathetic group, "I found the snow in the garden nearly all melt. ed, and the ginseng where 1 had set it was sprouting forth in great style. It seemed to have spread all over the place like a straw- berry plant. "I pulled a plant up, and the root. was bifurcate. Then I took it. to an herbalist on Ontario stroet to get an estimate of its value, 1 have read that the wild ginseng of THE ARCADE An Abundance of New Things For Easter Girls' Smart Hats Variety of shapes and Styles, the colors are most pleas- ing.

"Well?" someone asked, "He sald," came the measured reply, "that it was not ginseng but lobwort or catbane."" In a plaintive voice, Kenny said that according to the herbalist the plant was an insiduous poison and subject to very strict prohibitory laws throughout the North Ameri« can continent. One state, Le thought it was Kansas, had suffer- ed so much logs when herds of cat- tle at the exotic weed and 1iled, that they had placed a heavy pen- alty on Its importation or even pos- session, except under a special ox perimental permit, "That's why I am here," Kenny said, "Am I a eriminal or not?"
