THE EVEST VAN NEAVS IRIS I f you are an Iris lover, or are p] planning on having some in your garden next year, some thought ~~should now be given to suitalile locations in which to plant them, I as the next two months are con- ", sidered to be the most satisfac- tory time in which to divide your present stock or set out those which you may secure from your neighbors and friends, or if you are not so fortunate, those which may be purchased. They may also be planted in the Spring, but quite frequently they will not bloom that season, and if by chance they do, the bloom is likely to be small and ineffective. If planted in the early Fall when the plant is dormant they will make a good root growth, and be well established before the cold frosty nights appear. The Iris will grow almost any place, and if I remember correct- ly it was Pope in his Essay on ilTan, who said about the Iris: C& -"EVhere grows? EVhere grows it not? If vain our toil ,IVe ought to blame the culture, not the soil." The Iris is a lover of sunshine, and grows most luxuriantly and flowers most profusely in the lo- cations where it is exposed to 4 the sun the whole day through. ~ It will do fairly well in partial shade but will be practically flowerless in dense shade, al- though one Iris--Florentina-'ill do reasonably well in heavy shade. The Iris does not require a moist location, in fact its ability to withstand hea~ and dry peri- ods is one of its greatest attrib- utes. Good drainage is necessary, as too much moisture with no drain- age will cause decay. If the , drainage be poor in your garden ' would suggest that sloping beds be made. The elevation of the ., beds should be sufficient so that'he rhizome when planted will be higher than the surrounding .~& soil. The Iris will stand consid- erable moisture during the grow-'ng season but at other times . will be better if very little moist- ure is supplied. Iris will stand a little lime, and .i this may be added by working into the soil some powdered : slacked lime, old plaster or ground limestone. About a quart ', to a square yard is about right. 'pply after the growing season & is over. EVhen transplanting, cut back the foliage to three to six inches, l making the outer leaves the g shortest. By cutting back the ', leaves evaporation will be some-'hat checked and a better root . system will develop. Cut away .. all decayed or dried up roots, and shorten the balance to about ~ seven inches. Dig the ground to a depth of about the depth of a spade or deeper, and dig a hole sufficiently large to allow the roots to be spread out to their full length. Make a steep mound of earth in the centre of the hole. 'l Ji Spread the roots out over the mound and press the rhizome down until it will be about two inches below the level of the soil at the edges of the hole. Cove. the roots well, but do not start watering until growth starts so that there will be less likelihood of decay setting in.

The finest samples of real home cooking were brought from the mysteri- ous depths of baskets, tins, bags, etc., and laid out in tempting ar- ray, and here again the wonder- ful appetites of the juveniles were exhibited. On this occasion however, the grown-ups did full justice to the meal, their appe- tites having been put on edge by the afternoon's outing. Happily there were no unto- ward happenings during the day. Everyone reached their homes quite safely but oh, so tired. The board of trade appreciates the co-operation of the public at large in making the day the suc- cess it was, and also the spirit of good feeling with which that co- operation was given. Mr. R.

VANCOUVER REAL ESTATE ~IEN ENTERTAIitt ED AT GLENEAGLES (Continued from Page 1) would certainly keep their eye on this district. General Clark in a few well chosen remarks welcomed his guests and gave them the free- dom of the golf links and the use of the club house for the day. Reeve Vinson in his official capacity as head of the munici- pality gave a wonderful address in which he drew attention to the growth and development of the municipality. He pointed out the happy condition West Vancouver enjoyed in the financial markets of the world, and explained some of the plans for future develop- ment. Mr. Vinson's talk was a wonderfully inspiring one and was applauded to the full by the guests. It was one of the best real estate talks that could have been given. and, being addressed to a group of real estate men representative of that fraternit~ in Greater Vancouver, will un- questionably have much value in focussing their attention on this part of the world: Captain C. J. Archer, resident representative of R. P. Clark Er, Co., who has special charge oi the Gleneagles subdivision, was the only other speaker. Captain Archer gave a few facts and fig- ures relating to Gleneagles, stat- ing that it containes some 280 acres with over a mile and a quarter of sea front. He pointed out that the P. G. E., Pacific Stages, and North and AVest Van Stages all made frequent trips to the property, and that the auto- ist could make the trip direct either by the Second Narrows bridge or the North Van. Ferries. Gleneagles is supplied with pure water, and in the near future, electric light will be installed. Excellent anchorage facilities are available for boating, and it is claimed that the fishing grounds off the shores of Glen- eagles are as good as will be found anywhere on the Pacific Coast. Gleneagles property is subject to building restrictions, which will assure the property being developed on ithe right lines. The golf course comprises 60 acres. The first nine holes have been played over for more than a year, and it is the inten- tion of the company to layout an additional nine holes in the near future. The afternoon was spent by the visitors in golfing and bath- ing, and the Vancouver real es- tate men as well as the local real estate men who were pres- ent expressed themselves as de- lighted with the outing and charmed with the beautiful sur- roundings of Gleneagles. Van. making some very costly ones which all brought in runs, and the Elks being responsible for three. Ransom pitched good ball for the locals, but no team could expect to win with the kind of support given by the fielders. Tlie game on wednesday was of a different calibre, and a seven innings'truggle ended in a win for the Elks by 7-6. Larsen and Robinson did the pitching for the Elks, whilst Lindsay did the twirling for West Van. Jack Stratton in left field made no less than four spec- tacular catches, but both he and Faulkner, as well as Gavin, did some poor pegging, which gave the Elks several runs they were not entitled to. The rallies made by the IVest Van. team in the sixth and seventh frames, drew a big hand for them from the fans. West Vancouver is now eliminated from the play offs.
