For Rock Garden Wisteria, Trumpet Vine, Clematis, Moon Flower Fine for Arbor Use Please tell me of five varieties of annuals which are suitable for rock garden use. My garden is in the sun, so I feel safe in adding some annuals. Also tell me when to plant the seed. MARIE W. F.

The following annuals will keep your garden quite gay until the hardy perennials are in bloom. If you are unfamiliar with these plants. look them up in the catalogues. Candytuft (iberis umbellata), esch-scholtzia (California poppy), gypso-phila muralis, lobelia various, mes-embryanthemum tricolor and chei-ranthus llnifolium. Can you tell me of two or three vines which you think would be desirable for a very strong arbor? MRS.

HEfTRY S. By all means plant a wisteria. It may not bloom for ten years, but It is worth waiting for. I would also, on a strong arbor, Induce some ola-fashioned trumpet vine to ramble over the posts and poles. Then I would plant a bitter sweet and a clematis paniculata and for immediate effect I would plant a moon vine.

The latter is an annual and can be omitted in later years when the other vines are established. Mrs. Paul E. F. Sow the seed of the following ennuals in May.

Sow in the places where you want the flowers. Thes? plants should all bloom In midsummer: Marigolds, gaillardias, zinnias and anthir-rhinums. If I cut up a leaf of my snake plant and plant the pieces in sand, may I expect these pieces to develop into young plants. ALICE P. K.

Yes, this is one method of propagating sansevieria, or snake plant. I am anxious keep an Easter lily which was given to me a few days tgo. Th? plant is just beginning to open its buds. MISS EMILY H. L.

When your Easter lily has finished flowering, continue to give it water until all the leaves are dry and yellow. Then remove the dead top and set the pot aside and give it no more water. About June 1 remove the bulb from the soil and plant it in soms sunny place in your garden. It should bloom in August. Last Fall I followed your instruction and spaded up a plot of ground 20 feet by 30 feet for dahlias which I shall plant when the weather permits.

Now I want to know about fertilizer. Please tell me the best kind of manure to use and suggest a substitute in case I cannot obtain the manure. MRS. THOMAS F. E.

In early April or even in late March apply liberal coating of well-rotted cow manure. Spread this evenly over the ground and then in a few days spade it under. If you cannot get well-rotted manure, the best substitute is pure bonemeaL which may be broadcast in the ratio of one pound to every ten square feet. I have some hardy water lilies which have been planted for four years. They have done very well in the past, but I know that this year they will want some food.

What should I give them and when? MRS. CORNELIA S. K. Give your lilies one-fourth of an inch of bonemeal covered with one-half inch of sand. This must be given to them when they start into growth.

If your lilies are planted in a natural pond, broadcast the bonemeal on the surface of the water at the rate of one-half pound to every ten square feet of surface. Please tell me when to prune a forsythla bush. MRS. NANCY F. Prune a forsythia as soon as possible after it has finished blooming.

I am one of your readers who has had absolutely no garden experience. Now I am the owner of a new garden. I cannot afford anything expensive this season, so I am planning to plant a few seeds and wait until later for a permanent planting. Please tell of a half dozen varieties of perennials which I can plant from seeds, also of two varieties of annuals which I can plant for immediate effect. MRS.

SIDNEY W. D. I know of no better annuals than shell-pink petunias, zinnias, scabiosa and bachelor's buttons. Among the perennials which can be easily established from seeds I would suggest platycodon Japanese balloon flower), phlox drummondl, Iceland popples (pa paver nudicaule), pyre-thrum and Sweet William (dianthus barbatus). Please tell me whether verbenas can be grown from seed started In the house and whether the plants will bloom before August.

ELSIE F. L. They should begin to Moom In July and continue tA Woor until cut down by frost. Is snow-in-summer suitable tor rock-garden use? HENRY H. H.

Yes, snow-in-summer (cerastlum) is desirable for a rock garden. It is a low-growing plant with silvery foliage and white flowers. Miss Klft will answer queries through this column concerning care of gardens. Indoor and outdoor. For personal reply, stamped, self-addressed envelope MUST be Inclosed.

Well Fed Corn Able To Resist Cold Bloomington, 111. (W) Well-fed corn, like we'J-fed men, Is better able to withstand the rigors of Winter. Government plant breeders, producing artificial frost with a portable refrigerator, found that Immature corn in untreated soil was killed in a few minutes at a temperature of 33 to 34 degrees Fahrenheit The same strains given plant food showed no ill effects from four hours' exposure to 30 degrees tern- I peratura, location, it must be in the sun, as they will not tolerate shade of any sort. Sweet peas love to plunge their roots deep in the cool, moist earth. They grow in any soil provided it is fairly open so that their roots can' easily penetrate It.

They demand moisture and therefore always do well in a soil that retains moisture. They are usually grown in rows. When sowing the seed make the trenches 12 or 18 Inches deep, the deeper the better, and about 12 Inches wide. In the bottom of the trench spread some well-rotted manure and on top of this some rich soil which has been previously pulverized. Sweet peas are best sown in double rows, with supports between the rows.

Draw parallel lines three Inches from either edge of the rows, so that a space of six inches is left for the supports. Brush, when available, makes an excellent support, but you may use a sweet pea trellis made of wire which is attached to wooden posts. One ounce of seed is all you need to sow a row ten feet Ion. Seeds should not be covered more than an inch in depth. When the plants are fairly well above the ground you must begin to thin them.

To do this uproot the surplus plants, leaving the remaining ones two inches apart. When spaced in this manner they will cover the supports evenly and will produce more and better flowers than when grown closer together. When the plants are about three inches high, hill the soil up about their roots. Continue this hilling process until six Inches of stem is under the soil. If the soil used in hilling is taken from the row, a furrow will be formed on either side of the plants which may be used to good advantage in watering.

Sweet peas love moisture and where drainage is perfect there is no danger, of overwatering. When watering allow the water from the garden hose or the watering can be run into the furrow. Smallest City Yard May Have Garden Pool During the last two years there has been a great Increase in the number of garden pools which have been made in even the smallest city yards. People are learning that water lilies are easier to grow than most other plants in their gardens and that they are far less trouble some. They bear flowers in direct proportion to the amount of room you give them and the kind of soil you prepare for their use.

Aquatic plants, as a rule, do best in a rather rich clay loam. One commercial grower suggests that the best soil is that from a pasture. This must be well mixed with one- third well-rotted cow manure. Bonemeal or dried blood are also excellent about one pound to one and one-half cuble feet of soil. Another authority suggests good garden loam mixed with liberal quan tities of well-decomposed manure and bonemeal, and further explains that when the available garden soil is really poor 50 percent of leaf-mold should be used, and If after adding the leafmold the soil still seems poor that 25 percent of bone- meal should be added.

Water lilies are gross feeders and the more plant food you supply the more lilies you wUl have. The soil may be placed In wooden boxes or it may be spread over the bottom of the pool. Where wooden boxes are used It Is best to make them of cypress, as this wood does not decay in water. It is always easier to care for the plants and to keep the pool clean if they are planted in boxes. If, however, you want to grow the lilies without boxes spread the soil over the bottom of the pool to the depth of 12 inches.

In planting it is safe to allow four to six square feet of pool for each lily. This will also allow plenty of room for other equatic plants, which lend Interest the pool. Water lilies should be planted with the top root or bulb about even with the surface of the soil. It is well to cover them with sand or gravel to keep the fish from dis turbing the soil Twelve inches of water above the crowns ot the plants are all that is necessary. As a rule the plants are started in ehallow water and the depth increased as they grow larger and stronger.

A pool, to be successful and at all times have a miximum of blooms, must be in the sun. Hardy water lilies do best when planted after the middle of April, as at that time they start growing In their natural state. Tender lilies are not planted until after the 10th of May. When to Start Annual Seeds Indoors Some home gardeners have expressed special interest concerning the time when they should plant seeds of annuals Indoors. It Is muck better to sow the seed nearer the time of their natural germination One month in advance of the time you want to transplant the seedlings to their natural quarters in the garden is the time to start your flats.

When sown too early the seedlings are likely to become, as a result of lack of space and fresh air or too much heat, long and lanky and woody. Such plants never do as well as short, stocky, well-rooted seedlings. Rosea That Bloom Throughout Summer One reader writes: I am starting a very small rose garden, and as I am away at certain times during the Summer I would like some ad- si ii who want' to hunt foxes In a startling mixture of English costumes, although they are maiden name, but you must establish your identity in some way. You do not state when you were married or whether your husband is an American citizen. Your citizenship may have been affected by your marriage, and also it may be easier for you to take out citizenship papers yourself than to prove that you derived citizenship from your father.

You might also apply for a derivative citizenship certificate, but that would be for you an expensive and arduous undertaking. Lost First Citizenship Papers Q. I am a constant reader of your paper and I should like information on the following: I took out first papers about May, 1925, at the Bronx Supreme Court, but I lost them. I should like to know where to apply for final papers, and do I have to get first papers again? N. F.

A. It is so near time for your first papers to expire (May, 1932), that it is doubtful whether you could receive a report on an application for final papers in time. If you apply for final papers now you would require a duplicate of the first paper that you lost, which costs $10. In case a report on your application for final papers is not received before May, 1932, your first paper would expire, and the $10 paid for the duplicate would 6e wasted. It would probably be safer and cheaper for you to obtain a new first paper, wait two years, and then file application for final papers.

You may send your application whether for first or final papers, to the District Director of Naturalization, 132 Nassau New York City. Wants Daughter From Mother-ln-Law Q. I am much interested in the useful information in The Eagle on Sundays. I wish to Inquire for a friend who cannot afford to have a lawyer. She was married in Scotland and the following year she had a baby.

The young man came to the United States, could not find work, would, not support his wife, and was finally deported. He got a job on a ship from Scotland and deserted it when it reached New York. The mother-in-law took charge of the baby, and after a time decided to take it to the United States. The girl appealed to the American consul, who prevented the child from coming here, as the court had given her custody of the child. The girl is now in the United States legally and wants to know whether she can make the mother-in-law tell where the child is and whether she can obtain the child.

Also, is the husband subject to deportation if found here again? EDINBURGH. A. It Is not probable that the girl will be able ta obtain possession of her child without the services of a lawyer, especially as it is in a foreign country. However, she may write to the American consul, who refused to permit the child to come to the United States and he will no doubt advise her the best and easiest wayo proceed. If the husband deserted his ship after July 1, 1924.

or has been outside the United States since that date he is subject to deportation for illegal entry. Merely nonsuoport Is not ground for deportation. Flower Show Display Will Feature Roses Many prominent private exhibitors are listed in connection with the 19th International Flower Show, which opens in the Grand Central Palace on Monday, March 14, and will close the following Saturday night.

Often in your paper I have read your answers to immigration questions, never expecting to ask your advice myself until now. We have a young friend, a German, who came to New York in April, 1929, on a regular quota immigration visa.

At the time of his arrival, he did not know whether he would stay here two weeks, two years or forever. Recently it developed that on account of business his folks, who run a successful hotel in Germany, wish him to return home, but after nearly three years uere, he likes the United States so much that he does not wish to go home if he must remain there permanently. If he should go back now, how long may he stay in Germany and come back to New York? What will he have to do, and where will he have to go to make arrangements? Besides his regular German passport, he has an immigration identification card issued by the Department of Labor through our Berlin embassy. J. M.

C. A. Your friend should have a reentry permit. It may be made for one year, and probably, if he wishes, he may have one or two extensions of, six months each. Application should be made on Form 631 (new form), which may be obtained usually at any steamship office, or if not, by writing to the Department of Labor, Washington.

As he has an identification card, the application may be mailed directly to the Department of Labor. About one month should be allowed. Application for an extension will be made in Germany about one month before the expiration of the permit. Your friend must realize that if he stays outside the United States as long as stated, his residence lor citizenship purposes will begin at the time he returns. Thirty Years an Alien Q.

I have been in this country 30 years, but never applied for citizenship papers. My husband, whom I married in October, 1925, is a citizen. I intend to visit Ireland this Summer. Is my husband's citizenship of any use to me? READER. A.

Since your husband is an American citizen you have the advantage of omitting first papers and applying for final papers, in case you wish to become an American citizen. You may not travel on an American passport unless you take out citizenship papers. It would probably be much easier for you to travel on an American passport, but you would hardly have time to become a citizen for a trip this Summer. If you are not a citizen when you leave the country you should have a re-entry permit, but unless there is a record of your entry a permit would not be issued to you. It Is quite probable that no record of your entry would be found, as records were not always kept as far back as 30 years.

In that case it would be necessary for you to obtain a certificate of registry, but this would entail a large amount of work and would take as long as it would to become a citizen. If you go without a re-entry permit it will be necessary for you to go to an American consul and obtain a visa. Came to This Country Years Ago Q. Please inform me what I have to do to be able to vote. I came to this country 33 years ago.

at the age of 15. I was brought here to my father and mother, who had come to this country when I was only 3 years old. My father was an American citizen. He is dead, and I cannot find his papers. I am also using a different name for business purposes.

Do I have to give my maiden name? M. A. M. A. If you know where your father lived when he was naturalized you may communicate with the natural-1 ization office of that locality for a record of your father's naturaliza- tion.

Garden Effects Help Sale of Small Houses Even Apartment Tenanl9 Rent Spare in Neighbor-hood to Grow Flowers Many apartment tenants In Queens who are ardent lovers of' nature and who by reason of their apartment life nave not the opportunity to plant their own gardens, are renting space in the neighborhood of their homes for use as floral gardens. During the war period the individual garden idea had a strong hold on thousands of city dwellers and every conceivable piece of vacant land was utilized. These gardens eventually had to make way for building operations so that now there is little suco space available. Wolosoff Brothers, builders of small homes In Queens, knowing of th love of the average family for garden space, have provided for this need In their various developments. In addition to the usual space al-loted for a lawn in the front of each house, they have so planned each of their housing projects so as to allow for the development of rear gardens.

They have so constructed the garage In the rear ot each plot as to leave the maximum space for garden purposes. Walosoff Brothers claim that this feature alone has been responsible for the sale of many homes that it has been the deciding influence in converting apartment house dwellers into individual home owners. "It is simply a matter of history repeating Itself," remarked Mr. Wolosoff. "The majority of th home seekers since their youth havn had recollections of the cultivated piece of ground that surrounded the home of their parents or grandparents.

They have looked forward to the day when they could supplant the concrete backyard wtth a touch of nature. It has been a boom to the health of the office worker in that it keeps him cut-of -doors for a few hours each day after his return from business.

T. Age Limit for Citizenship Q. How old must a man be before he may apply for first payers? What period of time must elapse between first and final papers? How long must a person be in the United States before he may apply for first papers? E.D. H. A.

A man or woman must be 18 years old to apply for first papers. Two years must elapse between first papers and the application for final papers, but application for final papers may not be made unless the applicant has lived five years in the United States and the six months preceding application in the county where application is made. An alien mav apply for first papers as soon as he arrives In the United States, provided he is 18 years old. Wants Ciliienshlp Determined Q. The information in your paper about naturalization and immigration is interesting, but I can find nothing there to fit my case.

I came here from Sweden 30 years ago when I was 17 years old. I entered by way of Boston, went directly to New York and have lived in Brooklyn practically all the time since. My father, now deceased, came here five years previously. I always understood that he was a citizen, but I cannot prove it. I have a United States card showing that I registered with my Local Draft Board for military service during the war, but, because I had a family to support, the authorities kept putting me back until the Armistice came.

I also have a card showing that I registered for service in the military forces of the State of New York. Have these cards any bearing on my citizenship? I understood that there was a law on the subject. I should like to have my status fixed. This is not easy, as I am told so many different things. W.

L. A. If your father was naturalized, the record of his naturalization should be in the office of the Dis trict Director of Naturalization, 132 Nassau New York City, or in the Naturalization Office in Brooklyn, according to his residence at the time. If he became a citizen before you reached the age of 21, you automatically became a citizen. You might also look up your father's voting record, if he were a voter.

If you are unable to establish your father's American citizenship, it will be necessary for you to obtain first and second papers in the usual way.
