How to Save HolIyhecks.

I don't seem to be able to grow
hollyhocks any more. The leaves get
covered with brown pimples under
meath and become tattered and ugly.
Is there anything I can do to succeed
with this dear old fashioned flower
Mrs. A. P. b.. Long Island.
This is q disease which is worst on
weak and falling plants To a certain
extent 1t may be prevented by plant
ing young plants in rich soil where
they will always have plenty of direct
sunlight and air. and destroying them
after they have done Towering; that
is, not attempting to save them for a
second season of bloom, but relying
upon new sets of young plants each
year. AS the hollyhock is very easily
grown from seed there's no trouble
about this, Avoid growing the plants
near fences and walls. Choose open
ground, where there Is free circula-
ton Of air If the plants are TO be left
for longer than one season Of bloom
Ing, and use only young plants near
anything that reduces air and sun
light. Don't be afraid to feed the
plants with bonemeal and unleached
wood ashes.
AS a remedy for the disease Bor-
deaux mixture used several times dur
ing the spring and early summer is a
good preventive. provided 1t is made
TO strike the under sides of the leaves
where the disease gains entrance to
the plants. c. II. jenkins in the
Hardy Flower Book" says that a cup
full Of salt dissolved in three gallons
OF water applied every two weeks in
spring with an abol syringe In a fine,
mistlike spray Is effective. He says.
however. that the salt must not reach
the roots OF the plants. If this is
really an effective remedy 1t certainly
should be preferred to the Bordeaux
mixture, because It is less expensive
and also It does not discolor the
| foliage.

JACK FROST MAY NIP
EARLY MELON PLANTS

Tomatoes, cucumbers and melons
should not be set in the garden until
all danger of frost is past and the gar
den soil has become warm. Cabbage
and lettuce plants, however. may
safely and successfully be transplanted
much earlier.
1t is best to transplant on a cool,
moist day. If the soil is dry. water
should be poured in the hole after the
plant Is set and the hole has been about
one-half filled with soil. Then the
hole is completely filled with fresh soil
to prevent the soil becoming hard and
packed, and to prevent the loss OF
moisture. The plants should be set
slightly deeper than they were in the
seed bed.
II it is impossible to transplant on
a cloudy day, the transplanting may
be done late in the afternoon; the
plants will then have the cool eve
ming and night to establish their roots.

To do the work best the seed must
be placed In a receptacle that can be

for small quantities. On top Of the seed
place a saucer or patty pan. Into this

Spraying Gooseberrics.

The way / keep my gooseberry and
currant bushes covered with leaves
until the autumn is by timely spray
ing. or all times the most important
Is shortly after the leaves appear and
before the blossom buds open. because
this Is when the worms are doing their
most destructive work, though 1t does
not show. They are then working in
the lower interior parts Of the bush.
Later, when they have stripped those
parts, they climb higher and seem al
most suddenly to strip the whole bush.
It's then too late to spray, because the
damage has been done. After the first
spraying second may be given. The
time for this will vary with the
weather. Ii rainy weather has fol-
lowed tho first spraying, the second
may be made Immediately after the
poisoning; II clear weather. then a
week or two will be soon enough.
Az the worms chew their food and
swallow it they are best destroyed by
poisoning. The most effective, best
sticking material is arsenate of lead
applied in amounts indicated on the
packages. These vary with tho differ
emit brands. Paris green is often used,
but 1t is not so permanent and it may

Native Plants Tell Soil Conditions, but
Some Are Not Always Reliable

Since water IS one OF the most i'm
portant factors In plant growth its
relative abundance, as we'll as the sea-
son in which the greatest precipitation
occurs, profoundly influences the char
ecter of the soil covering. Regions in
which the temperature is high and the
rainfall abundant and well distrib-
uted have a characteristic rain forest,
consisting almost entirely OF broad
leaved trees in the shelter of which
grow many epiphytes. lanas or woody
vines, ferns and other shade plants.
When the rainfall is scanty, or when
storms occur only at long intervals,
desert conditions prevail, but II the
rainfall be fairly abundant I'm the
growing season, though scant at other
times, grasslands occur. Finally there
are certain regions that would be
considered as 'physiologically dry"
Though supplied with abundant mois-
ture the plants find 1t necessary TO
rest for part Of each year because
Of a cold season that locks up the
available moisture in the form of ice.
These latter plants are often known
as "tropophytes" or turning plants
since they annually turn from desert
like forms to rain forest forms and
back again.
Plants, however, differ among them
selves as TO the amounts OF water they
require, and thus 1t happens that
within the larger areas OF desert,
grassland and forest. are lesser divi-
sions more or less sharply distin-
guished from one another by the plants
that grow in them. The plants which
can get along with the least water
are the "xerophytes"; those which re-
quire an abundance of water are the
"hydrophytes." The bulk of the
worlds vegetation lies midway be-
tween these extremes and forms a d.
vision KNOWN as "mesophytes." This
latter group is of the greatest interest
to the plant student because of the
fact that it affords many fine exam

FTRMING SOIL ABOUT
TREE ROOTS ADVISED

In planting young fruit trees It is
important to see that the soil is
firmed tightly about the roots. II
the surface soil Is placed about the
roots and tamped tightly they say
1t will reduce to a minimum the per-
centage Of trees which fail to start.
Another important consideration is
properly heading-back the tree at the
time OF planting. Four or fve main
branches should be left and these
should be headed-back about one-half
their length.
The drainage OF orchards Is also an
important consideration. Poor drain

more fruit trees than any other single
natural factor. Since this spring there
are an unusual number Of people con-
sidering the planting Of fruit trees and

enced fruit raiser should not waste
time, land and good trees by planting
In poorly drained locations.

recently at his home after q long and
interesting life extending over IS
years. He began his career as a boy
on his fathers farm, where at that
time bulbs were produced in but small
quantities, and was among the first OF
the enterprising pioneers who made
trips to England to market their stock.
the product heretofore being disposed
of to exporters in the vicinity of Hille-
gom. His first voyage was made when
he was 10 years Of age, but his kindly
disposition, industry and perseverance
gained for him a prominent place In
the industry. both In Europe and
America, which grew with advancing
years. From England he brought
many plants and bulbs, many Of which
he cultivated with considerable sue
cess, among others gladiolus brenchly-
ensis, Scilla sibirica and Spirea japon-
lea. He was also among the first
Dutch growers to experiment with

Mr.. Van Waveren was one OF the
first members of the Society for
Dutch Bulb Culture, was for many
years one of It's principal officers, and
in 1910 was knighted by the Queen
for his achievements In the interests
OF Dutch horticulture.

pies of plants that indicate specific
soil conditions.
In our part OF the world there are
few xerophytic trees, except the pines
and allied conifers or bearers.
and not all of these are inhabitants
of dry grounds. The cypress, arbor
vitae, tamarack, and, to some extent.
the hemlock, are hydrophytes. Among
broad leaved trees that are hydrophy-
tic In character are the willows. cot
tonwoods, swamp white oak, sour gum
and buttonwood.
Some trees, even in the same plant
family, may have widely different
moisture requirement. In the oaks,
for instance, there is a steady grada-
ton from the swamp white and pin
oaks OF undrained lands. through the
red and white oaks of mesophytic
areas to the black oak. which is de-
cidedy xerophytic. Some entire
plant families, also. serve to indicate
surplus of moisture in the soil. OF
this nature are the cat-tails, sedges,
rushes and cornels.
Still more interesting are those
plants which, regardless of the
cate the nature OF its chemical con-
stituents. The majority of our plants
grow IN neutral soils, behaving in re-
spect to acids and alkalies much as
the mesophytes behave toward an ex-
cess or lack of moisture. Though the
acid and alkali soils are not inhabited
by ordinary plants, they have fioras
of their own that are very character
istic. In another way. also, this three
fold division of plants into alkali neu-
trail and acid soil inhabiting species
corresponds to the divisions with re-
spect to water, for the alkali soils are
most frequently found in arid regions
and the acid soils in humid regions
Nearly all alkali plants are also xero-
phytic.
Among wild plants that are at least
tolerant OF alkali are the members of
the pigweed family, the salt grass,
the salt bush. and the grease wood.
The cultivated plants most tolerant Of
alkali, within our region, are sor-
ghum, alfalfa, timothy, cotton. po-
tato, asparagus and sugar beet
Acid soils may be found either in
boys or in uplands. In either case
acids accumulate in the soil as a result
Of the imperfect oxidation of plant re-
mains. The plants which inhabit such
regions are very different from those of
other wet areas, such as swamps
Among true bog plants are many
species of heaths, such as cranberry
and high bush huckleberry, the sun

many orchids. cotton grass, and above

SEEDS NOT GROWING.

The indications are that there will
be considerable seed lost this spring,
for which the seedsmen will be blamed.
The weather has been mild so that
the work Of spading the garden has
been done early and gardeners in
many cases have followed this with
early sowing Of the seeds.
The ground is still wet and cold, not
warm enough to cause hardy seed. such
as radishes. to terminate. More deli
cate seed put In early will be almost
certain to rot. as there has not been
heat sufficient to start termination.
The only remedy is to wait until
the ground warns up and plant a
second time and profit by tho ex-

flower. the gardener may pinch on the
upper parts OF the leaves when trans
planting. This will decrease the
amount Of evaporation and therefore
the amount Of moisture necessary to
establish the plant. In moving and
handling the plants It Is we'll to avoid
disturbing the soil around the roots.
Plants grown In individual containers
make the best crops. because the root
systems are undisturbed at trans
planting time.
Healthy plants that have been
hardened off win experience very little
check in growth when set in the gar
den. IL the operation is performed
carefully.
All this has been told before, but is

INVESTIGATE QUALITY OF SEED

Nearly II 900 samples of seed were received for
test last year at the edtestng laboratory Of the
United States department of agriculture in Wash
ington and II, 349 samples at the five branch labor
atories maintained in cooperation with state in
stitutions. All of these samples were examined to
determine the quality of the seed and the presence
Of adulterants. The enforcement of the seed
importation act has served to prevent many ship
ments of imported seed unfit for seeding purposes,
from being distributed in their original condition.
Among these shipments over 900 pounds Of red
clover seed were prohibited entry on account of
the presence of weed seeds and dead seed. Approx
imately one-haf of this was recleaned in bond
the weed seeds and other refuse removed being de-
stroyed, while the seed of good quality was al
lowed to go into the seed trade The other half
of the prohibited red clover shipments was rejected
because it contained so much dead seed as to be
of practically value for seeding purposes. Three
