This is the dwarf honeysuqkle, Lonicera nitida. Hailing from China, this honey­ suckle grows well in all districts excepting very smoky areas. It grows to a height of five feet and makes a thick evergreen hedge. The leaves are a beauti­ ful shiny dark green and the flowers are very sweetly scented. In the course of time this plant should oust privet as a hedging plant. It requires very little trimming or pruning. Any nur­ seryman can obtain a stock and the price is quite reasonable. 'Ware Dud Carnations The "dud" carnation seller is once again on his annual round and gardeners who wish to grow good plants must be careful a- bout buying at the door. The majority of carnations raised from seed turn out to be single- flowered varieties and are use­ less for garden work. The seed­ lings are bought very cheaply from the growers, nicely labelled and done up in moss. The hawk­ ers go from door to door offering these plants at very cheap rates, but they are dear at any price. Easter in the Garden Easter is the time of the "big push" in the garden and it is a national disaster if the weather is unkind. This year Easter is earlier than usual and gardeners who have cold, clay soil to con­ tend with should bear this in mind. Work on cold land may always be left a little later than the dates fixed by the ordinary gardening calendar. " Experts" who write by the calendar were recommending the pruning of roses in the middle of March, but local readers will be well advised to wait until the middle of April. It will do no harm to prune roses even if growth has become active. The chief work of Easter will be the preparation of seed plots and the sowing of seeds of veget­ ables and flowers. I f the weath­ er is not frosty, potatoes may be planted, but here again delay is often the best plan on cold ground. In the flower garden seeds of annuals may be sown in patches in the borders. The best way on our heavy land is to scatter the seed broadcast over the surface of the soil, after the latter has been thoroughly broken up and raked. Sow the seed thinly and then cover with finely-sifted soil which has been prepared before­ hand. Wood ashes and sand may be mixed with this to help to lighten it. Cover the seeds with about half-an-inch of the mix­ ture. Plant out corms of gladi­ oli. Place a little sand in the holes upon which the corms may rest. It will be safe now to sow the seeds of most vegetables. Scar­ let runners and French beans must wait another few weeks, although the seed may be sown under glass and the plants put out next month to save time. This is really the better way with these crops. More broad beans may go in, also peas for late crops. I f possible, peas should be sown a row at a time. This brings the crfij) along in suc­ cession. Intervals of a fortnight should elapse between the sow­ ings. In a small garden the idea of succession is not so easy, but a little thought will help over, many difficulties. . Beets, car­ rots, spinach, onions, turnips, lettuce, radishes and salsafy will require sowing. No mention of seeds of cabbage crops or celery is made here because the owner of a small garden will find it easier and cheaper to buy the small quantities of plants requir­ ed. Get the celery trenches dug and put out lettuce plants on the ridges to avoid waste of space. Radishes may be sown in be­ tween.

This was the first meeting of the Commission since Municipal elections in January and sever­ al items were discussed and some recommendations made. It was decided that the time was not opportune to engage the Bartholomew interests, as no topographical survey isavailable and that survey is absolutely necessary. It is hoped to have the advice of the experts as soon as something has been done in the matter of completing the sur­ vey of the district. The commission decided to ask the Council to include a grant in the estimates to cover a por­ tion of a survey scheme within the municipality. This request was endorsed by his Worship the Reeve and it is probable that he will recommend it to the Coun­ cil. Miss Stevenson of " the Clach- an," who has been on an extend­ ed visit to California, is leaving Los Angeles on Sunday to return to West Vancouver. W e s t V a n .
