THE GARDEN HERBARIUM

Last wear I made collection of spe-
cimens of all the Towering plants In
our garden, which I carefully pressed,
arranged and mounted on uniformly
sized sheets of thick white mounting
board. Then I carefully labeled each
specimen with botanical and common
garden names in the lower left-hand
corner. In the upper left-hand corner l
mounted specimen seeds and in the
upper right hand corner I indicated by
a space one inch square the color of the
flowers as nearly as possible by a wash
of water color. Then, in the lower
right-hand corner I put memorandum
of the date of planting, the date of the
first appearance of the Seeding above
ground. the date of Towering and the
date of seed maturity. This was less
work by far than the telling of 1t
seems, and as my entire collection fits
nicely into library pamphlet case you
will see that had an invaluable record
of my flower garden, which we consult
at every stage of the gardening game

EFFECTIVE SQUIRREL REMEDY

Mr.. ]. C. Ostergard, q valued sub
scriber to the Rural Californian, fur
n:shes the following simple remedy
against squirrels, which he claims
"makes good"
I had for a number of years sus-
pected that the gas generated by gas
oline would kill squirrels, but never
made a test of 1t, as I had always
been able to rid my premises of them
without any trouble by using poisons
of various kinds. It was not until I
read in the columns of this paper
statement by Mr.. w. P Wyckliff that
he had succeeded in ridding his field
of squirrels by the use of distillate,
that I thought of making a practical
test of it, Having no distillate at
hand and knowing that gasoline was
the more volatile, went to work with
it. Where I found all the squirrels
holes ii was in no case necessary TO
repeat the dose, as they invariably
failed to open up for business the next
morning. Now, as distillate kills the
SQUIRRELS dead. it is not necessary to
kill them deader with gasoline, which
may or ma- not be the deadlier of the
two. but as in many localities gasoline
is at hand where distillate is not. I
write for the benefit of those so sit
uated. To Mr.. Wyckliff belongs the
great credit for making this method
known. The use of bisulphide of car
bon has not been successfully carried
out because it is too expensive, but
with distillate or gasoline a squirrel
hole can be treated at an expense of
less than half cent and this should
effectively settle the squirrels for all
time. A pint of gasoline is enough for
five holes. 7 pour it on a rag as large
as stocking, shove it well into the
hole and fill up.

KEEPING DOWN WEEDS

The most important factor in keep
ing weeds out of the garden is to see
that all weed seeds in the soil are
started and the young plants destroyed
before the garden is planted. After
planting the garden keeping the weeds
out is another and more difficult
problem.
1t is, though, at the outset a question
of which is first upon the battlefield,
the weeds or the garden crop. Given
an even start the weeds will win be-
cause growth is entirely voluntary,
while the garden crop is a pampered
horticultural product, not by any
means entirely suited to present con-
ditions and environment, and so ten
der in texture as to need little discour-
agement to give up the unequal con.
test. Clean cultivation is the price of
good vegetables, more so in our land
of never ending summer than back
east-Rural Californian.

EGGPLANT

The eggplant (Solanum melongena) Is
an extremely tender annual. Dwarf
varieties are to be recommended. A
we'll drained. loose sandy loan, very
rich and quick, and a sunny exposure
are required for satisfactory results.
Two or three fruits to each vine form
a good yield. Plant out when foot or
more in height. three feet apart in hills
into each of which compost and a fer
tilizer of per cent nitrogen, per cent
phosphoric acid and 10 per cent potash
have been forked. After setting, fertll-
ize further by the application of
liuuid manurial stimulant. The chlet
diseases to which the eggplant is sub
ject are leaf blight and blight fungus
It is difficult to meet this, but with the
former destroy any infection-carrying
insects and spray with Bordeaux mix
ture and with the latter disease de-
stroy affected plants before they spread
their contagion. Against aphis spray
with kerosene emulsion.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17
WATCH YOUR GARDEN

Learn to watch your garden and find
out from the plants and the way they
grow just what it is that they need in
the way of food. Do not, for instance,
give nitrogen when top growth is rank
and luXuriant but fruit of poor quality
and not abundant, for such a condition
means that trees are starving for pot
ash. OF course all the elements should
be present in order to get the best re-
suits, but frequently it is necessary to
supply only one in order to make the
proportions right. The trick is to find
out which one.
1t is largely a matter of common
sense, once you know what is what
and without knowing this no amount
of directions will be any real help. 1t
is necessary to realize what is going on
down in the ground where the roots are
doing their work-how they are gather
ing up one substance and another in
the tiniest and most minute particles
in order to realize that a very little too
much of one thing or very little de-
ficiency of the other will actually work
ill to a plant.
Finally, there is one thing about the
soil that I should like to mention,
partly for the reason that it is so gen.
orally overlooked in all that is said or
written about soil, good or bad; and
partly because it is interesting. 1t is
phase of soil fertility that does not
enter perhaps into the beginners gar
dening; but who can tell what mo-
ment the beginner inspired by success
and other things, is going to branch
out and become a real scientific agri-
culturist who wants to know every
thing? And then, besides, who can
know too much. even though he is but
a beginner?
It is only recently, comparatively,
that investigators have been led to be-
lieve that plants give off certain or
ganic substances during the processes
of growth which, accommodating in the
soil, are harmful to the successive
growth of plants of the same kind.
This may be the reason, or one of the
reasons, why the benefits of crop rota-
ton are so marked; the soil is freed
from the toxic matter in the three or
four years during which other crops
are grown upon it. Sometimes-not
often to be sure, but sometimes-poor
and sterile soil may be poor and sterile
because thus poisoned. But that is
big subject and such a condition will
hardly occur in even a very advanced
beginners garden-EXchange.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17
SOIL TEXTURE

Nearly all vegetables have fine, soft
roots that do not easily or quickly push
their way through hard soils. Unlike
the ornamental plants of the garden,
which are tough and hard in all parts,
vegetables are most valuable when
most tender.
1t can readily be understood by any
one that the roots will somewhat par
take of the texture of the top and are
therefore soft and succulent in the
case of vegetables. This being under
stood, it must likewise be very patent
that soil should be put in fine physical
condition before planting. Plant food
of all kinds is largely unavailable If
the medium through which it is fur
nished, the soil, is not sufficiently fri
able so that the soil moisture may
readily permeate it, for only through
soil moisture do the plants feed upon
either mineral or organic fertilizers.
The greatest benefit derived from
the application to land of stable
manure lies not in the amount of
quickly available plant food it con-
tains, but in the improved and i'm
proving texture of the soil We must
get humus at any cost, and the only
source of supply lies in the introduc-
tion of animal or vegetable matter and
the litter is of course the cheapest
and easiest to obtain. Though I do not
at present grow many vegetables,
specialize in plant breeding a great
deal and must have soil in good tilth.
Each year I work in stable manure
and also use it as a summer mulch,
but do not depend upon it for plant
food. In the case of bulbs commercial
fertilizers are sown on top of the
manure mulch and washed down by
setting lawn sprinklers on the beds. 1t
will work as well with vegetables

PEeeINe DOWN ROSES

If one observes a wild briar in bloom
in the hedgerow, some groWths will be
found bent over almost rainbow-fash-
ion and smothered with flowers. This
is exactly what the rosarian tries to
initiate when the cultivated rose is
pegged down. In place of a lot of tall
growths that never bloom, bend them
over, some horizontally, others in the
shape of a half moon; the sap being
checked as it flies to the buds, or
"eyes," as they are called, shoots then
start out and are usually crowned with
flower buds.
It follows that by such an arrange
ment as this economy Is practised, for
fewer plants are required in bed, and
one may be certain of an even growth
with an abundance of flowers. Suppose
one has a bush say of Gloire de DiJon.
Examine it and see the vigorous young
growths that have been made In the
season. Instead of pruning back such
growths, bend them over as horizontal
ly as possible, although the half-moon
shape will answer as well. This may
be accomplished by driving wooden
pegs into the soil, these pegs to have
notch in the end to which a piece of
tarred twine is secured. The shoot is
bent as described and the string tight
ened accordingly. Pliable growths are
necessary and they should be selected
as close to the base as possible.
Where old plants exist and they are
too rigid for pegging down, cut them
level with the ground and then peg
the new growths as they become long
enough. Roses may be partially pegged
that is, peg one long growth and let
the other develop in upright bush form.
AS soon as the towering is over the
pegged growths should be cut away, as
by this time the new shoots will be
springing from the center of the plant,
which will be pegged the following sea-
son. This pegging down may be used
as a means of propagation. If the
growth is of a sufficient length, layer 1t
as one would a carnation. Take the
growth in the left hand and cut slit
in one side one inch in length and fif-
teen inches from the end. Make
niche in the soil and bend the shoot into
it, with the cut portion placed at the
bottom of the niche and the end of the
growth sticking out two or three
inches. Press the soil firmly and leave
the shoot to form roots, which 1t will do
in about twelve months.
While thus bent, flowers will appear
Just the same as though not layered.
Place a little sharp sand in the niche
near the cut slit. Plant the roses about
six feet apart and peg the growths,
north south, east or west, whichever
seems best for the individual plants.

DELPHINIUM

The wild varieties of Delphinium are
now in bloom. The handsomest of the
family is the scarlet Delphinium, which
is a vivid flame color. 1t grows to
great size, sometimes as tall as twelve
feet though ordinarily from six to
eight.
It's favorite habitat is the hillside
above the dry washes. 1t grows well
under cultivation in any light, well
drained soil and needs very little wa
ter. 1t is a prolific bloomer and the
flowers are large, double and very
handsome and well worthy of more
attention in the home garden.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17
MULCHING

An old but nevertheless excellent
way of carrying plants in and out of
pots through an exceedingly dry sum-
mer is that of mulching. Even thin
scattering of some loose material. such
as dried weeds. the clippings of the
lawn. hay. moss or strawy manure.
prevents the rapid escape of moisture
from the SOL in noticeable degree.
A heavy layer. thicker than two
inches. especially If fresh manure is
made use of. should not be spread be-
tween plants set out in the field. Potted
plants, however, may be sunk to the
ribs of their pots in some loose, cool
material

GARDEN NOTES

Remember, it is not too late to plant
corn, cucumbers, watermelons and II
is a good time to plant the casaba
melon, which is one of the most val
liable additions which has been made
to our gardens in many years. They
are grown as easily as any of the
melons and are picked green and
packed away until they are wanted
for use. They are then placed in the
sunlight to ripen. They will keep all
winter and into the spring. There Is
still time to plant the late Towering
asters, etc.

It has been supposed that alfalfa can
only be grown in a semi-troplcal ch-
mate or in sections in the southern
part of the United States, where there
is comparatively little freezing of the
ground, not enough to reach the roots
of this deep-rooting plant. Tests made,
however. at the experiment stations OF
the Agricultural department have dem
onstrated that it can be grown with
very considerable success in New York
and the New England states. The
prospect is that alfalfa may supplant
the other and usual forage crops In
even the bleakest portions of the
country and that no section will en-
Joy monopoly of its production. If
the success predicted shall be realized
stock raising in the frost and snow
sections may be a considerable indus
try. The success in growing alfalfa
in New York. New England. North
Dakota and Montana, situated on the
northern limits of our continental do
main. is another evidence of the pos
sibiities of plant acclimatization.-
