Peories will grow in partial shade and the flowers will last longer there. Too much shade will result in fellure to bloom. If your peonlies had blight and the buds blested, then you should cut off the dried buds and burn them. Transplanting is not nec- essary. In early Fall, cut the tops back and burn them, and next spring be sure to spray the new growth with Bordesux mixture, captan or rineb. FREE: Want to know more about peony culture?

Once pol- linastion has been effected, fading of blooms is inevitable. High heat end low humidity will cause some blooms to lose their brightness. IH you're arranging flowers for a bouquet, add a few chunks of charcoal to help keep the arrargements longer. Here's a - homemade - cut flower preservative you might try an your bouquets; Add 3 heaping - teaspoons of sugar, 2 table- spoons of white distilled vineger to a quart of tap water, Florists \harden off*\ flowers before arranging them in vases. This simply means «conditioning\ them by setting the container of cut flowers in the dark for a few hours. Why a dark room? There's less loss of moisture due to evaporation. x % * GREEN THUMB CLINIC: A reader writes: \Is it o.k. to sprinkle our gerentums and other flowers in a front bed?\ Answer: Sprinkling is a poor practice on ornamentals. It causes the bicossoms to get mushy and diseased. Bestbet is to water with a soaker hose, giving enough to soak down 3 or 4 inches.

By Michael Kelley Hats aro an important fea- ture of. a horeeman's life. A change of headgear mammals a mood, a personslity, or a status. The ends of the bow sare turned up for children and down for staf members. It is Indeed somewhat of astatus symbol to walk around with your bow ends down. A hborseman's hat is first of all, aprotection for the con- tents of the head. The impor- tance of this is always debatable. So the hat must fit wall and not fall off essily under stress. In some cases, a family hunt cap is stuffed with long white tissue in order to fit the youngest member of the group. This can be bumfllating if junior becomes a cropper and surrounds him- self by the contents of his hat. *% % x Many different hats are worn durizg hunting. The male member of a hunt, invited to wear the hunt colors, sports a high topper. These are the most ewkward of all since they are forever getting in- voived in low brushes.

The derby that comes down low over the ears and ocasionaliy flops over the rider's yeye is a desd give» away for the traditionalist. This was probably his grand- fathers's hat. Polo helmets immediately indicate the rider's interests. The wearer can be found swinging a mallet or ridinghis motorcycle. Most horseman's headgear has an inside hard protective structure. The few exceptions to this is the gaited horse rider or the cow- boy. This would suggest that very little ground meets the head of either rider or else the terrain is soft. Or just maybe they have hard heads.
