I'OISON hIUSHROOhIS EASY TO RECOGNIZE BY REQUEST Mr. Editor: EVill you again kindly publish the piece about mushrooms which was in your paper of about three weeks or a month ago7 IVe have what we think is a lovely bed of real mushrooms in our garden in a nice cleanly spot, but though I know of several tests myself would like some other opinions. Perhaps some of your readers would put in your paper what proofs of mushrooms they know. You will greatly oblige your constant reader, MRS. BULKLEY.

GAS and OILS The following is the article asked for. It appeared in our is- sue of July 16th. By NINA G. HUTF, Landscape Architect R ECH h RG ED RE PAIRED RENTED AVhen you don't know for cer- tain whether a mushroom is ed- ible or not do not eat it. Of the two most common poisonous types that should be avoided we give the following descriptions.'The most important part of the deadly amanita is the sheath at the base of the stem known as the death cup. The ring on the stem is larger than that of the sommon mushroom, and the gills are white, both when young and old, those common mush- rooms being at first pink, then black. Nothing can be told from the color of the upper surface of the cap because it varies so much. 4Uhen one is gathering mushrooms, it is exceedigly im- portant to get all of the stem and not leave a portion of it in the ground, since the death-cup may thus be overlooked. "The fly amanita is as beauti- ful as it is dangerous. The cap is usually bright scarlet, yellow- ish or orange, sometimes fading to nearly white, and covered with conspicuous warts, which are portions of the death-cup car- ried up from below. The rest of the cup will usually be found in fragments in the soil about the swollen base of the stem. The gills are white and remain so, thus differing from those of the common mushroom. The warts on the cap also distinguish it." Craduate ln Lndscaplag U. of C., Amerfcan School of Lndscape Architecture and Gardening. Member National Landscape Servfce.

This variety may be trained a- gainst a fence or wall. Forsythia furtunei is upright in its growth and is suitable for planting in front of tall evergreens. Do not forget that they eventually at- tain a height of eight to ten feet and therefore should not be planted in front of low-growing shrubs or plants. Do the needful garden repair iiork on fences, trellises, etc. at this time. Next year when you see a mag- nificent display of Paeonies or a garden path bordered with Iris, you will probably wish that your garden boasted such beauties. Paeonies and Iris are planted in the fall and there is still time to do it this year. A healthy-looking lawn de- pends on good soil, good soil de- pends on fertilizer and a splen- did source for fertilizer is a com- post heap. Provide a space where the leaves, vegetable matter and other garden refuse can be plac- ed to rot. Instead of just piling this up and letting it rot undis- turbed, results will be obtained much quicker if the heap is turn- ed over every month or so witli a regular spading fork. This wJ1 make an excellent top dressing for the lawn. If you wish to increase your stock of hardy candytuft for next p.ear's garden, you may do so by means of cuttings. They should be planted in a box of sand and kept in a cool place. After the roots have formed, the small plants may be set out in pots. You may do the same with blue- bells and Canterbury bells. This time of year is suitable for the planting of many shrubs. They will be well rooted by the time spring arrives and will thus be off to a good start. AUhen dig- ging the holes, be sure to make them sufficiently large so that the roots may spread out. Leave a quantity of soft soil at the bot- tom of the hole. Take care to supply sufficient water. It is easy to be deceived into thinking the light showers prevalent at this time are supplying the need- ed moisture, but take a stick and dig into the soil and you will soon see that only the surface is even damp. There are a number of shrubs which present an attractive ap- pearance even after the leaves have fallen. These include the Japanese barberry with its scar- let berries, the Cotoneaster, with its orange red berries, the snow- berry, which bears large white berries. They all are pleasing and attractive in the summer months, and present an entirely different but none the less at- tractive one in the fall and wint- er. The fall is also the best time to spade up the garden. Leave the upturned soil as open as pos- sible so as to let the frost work down into it. This is important in this part of the country, where frosts as a rule, are light. By planting a Forsythia shrub now, that dark corner of the garden will be brightened con- siderably next spring. They look splendid against a dark back- ground.
