Garden making has received a ire
mendous impetus in the last few years,
and hundreds of people who started in
to grow vegetables through patriotic
motives are now growing both vege-
tables and flowers because they have
| learned to love the work and take pc
cu1iar satisfaction in the things they
Iraise on their own plots. Oh course
there are bugs to fight and wedding to
| be done and other incidental features
which are not altogether pleasant, but
| they are minor points. 1t isn't hard to
keep the bugs and the weeds in sub
lection if they are dealt with in time.
And there is glory in a garden,
whether it be vegetable garden or a
flower garden. Moreover, there is ro-
nance and adventure there. Do you
realize that intrepid explorers or plant
scouts are searching the most distant
corners of the world in order to bring
new forms of plant life into your gar
den? Journey after journey has Chi
nese" Wilson, of the Arnold Arbore-
tum in Boston, made into remote
parts of Asia in search of trees and
shrubs. Once on the border line of
Tibet, in section of China never be-
fore trod by the foot of man. he found
valley all aglow with lovely, radiant
lilies. OF course, Mr.. Wilson coveted
these lilies for civilized lands, but just
then along came a landslide which
lswept down the mountainside and
broke one of his legs. For weeks he
lay in a native hut, but eventually he
went back and got quantities of the
| lily bulbs now officially named Bega1
| lily which today are growing Just ias
| 1uxuriantly in America as they ever
did in China.
One of the most common ways in
which the new plants are obtained is
! by the crossing of established forms.
| Burbank has won the name of "wiz-
ard" in this way, and Lemoine, the
| famous French hybridizer, has pro-
duced great numbers of remarkable
lilies and other shrubs in the same
| fashion. Scores of men-and women
too-of lesser fame are constantly at
work along the sa me line. Richard
| Diener, in California, has created new
petunias which are marvels. c. S.
Strout, of Biddeford, Me. has Won
derfu1 new carnation which he has fit
| tlll2ly ldllltu NldlllC OliSiIIlN' W .
! Cockerel, a Colorado woman, gave the
world the red sunhower, after various
male experts had failed.
1t is not to be supposed that the new
things which are given to us for our
gardens are produced easily or quickly.
The hybridizer must be a man of in
finite patience and not easily discour-
aged. 1t may be necessary for him to
throw away thousands of seedlings for
every one he saves. Experiments which
have cost him many hours of labor
may result in nothing at all. Often
times he must dexteriously transfer the
pollen from one flower to another by
hand, using a camels hair brush for
the work. and frequently the flowers
must be kept covered with bag so
that the bees and other insects will not
ruin the experiments by introducing
pollen from other blooms.
If you are a dyed-in- the-wool gar
dener you will not be satisfied unless
YOU trv out some of the new offerings

Worth While New Flowers and
Vegetables Developed Each Year
By Edward I. harrington.

each season. Some of them may prove
disappointment to be sure, but the
| possibility of growing something inner
| than you have ever seen before is what
adds zest to gardening.
Unique among the newer roses IS
Columbia, which won the American
Rose Society's medal last year. Newer
still, at least i'll this country, is Groot-
endorSt, a Holland rose which makes
big bush and is good for hedge,
| but which blooms the whole season
! through. The blossoms are small, but
are fringed like a carnation, producing
an odd effect. Not so new but yet, I'M
known to most gardeners is delight
! full climbing rose called WlchmosS,
and the only messed climber so far
produced.
While the petunia is an old-time
flower and found everywhere some OF
the newer forms are astonishing as to
size and color, especially those which
have come from California. Think OF
petunia seven inches across and cop
per and red in color the body color
veined and penciled with pink and
light red.

| today is as much finer than the aster
of yesterday as one can well imagine.
A new variety is called the American
| Beauty, and has the same color as the
| famous American Beauty rose. Single
asters as we'll as the more common
double kind are becoming popular,
| There are new snapdragonS, much
larger than any seen before, new
sweet peas, new dahlias and new
gladioli. Among the new "glads" are
the Primulinus hybrids, made by
crossing the common gladiolus with a
species discovered in the heart of AT
RIGA.
might also speak of the new peon-
les which are marvels as to size and
form, but so many years are needed
to develop new peonies from seed that
the prices are necessarily high. 1t is
not unusual for peony enthusiast
| to pay $50 or even 500 for a single
clump. There is money to be made in
creating peony novelties if one has the
knack and the patience. This is shown
by the experience of E. ]. Shaylor
of Massachusetts For years Mr.. Shay
lor was a travelling salesman, but af-
ter time he began to ride the peony
hobby, and now gives his whole time
to these flowers. He is one of the men
who sell roots at 500 each.
! And OF course there are vegetables
among the new things, the perpetual
summer spinach, for example, new
sweet corn, new muskmelons and a
new forcing lettuce All of them are
worth getting acquainted with.
Naturally the seeds of new things
are rather scarce and you will get a
| limited number for your money. Be a
little careful with them, therefore, and
follow directions faithfully. And re-
member that trying out new things is
one of the most interesting games the
gardener can play.

April II, 1921.
To Whom 1t May Concern
The River and Harbor Act APP
proved August 8, 1917, contained
provision for a preliminary ex-
animation of Bayou Chene, La"
The required examination has
been made by the District En-
gineer, and his report thereon is
favorable to the extent of recon-
emnding a survey and estimate of
cost of improving the bayou for
a distance of about nine miles.
! In accordance with law, the re-
port has been referred to the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
HarborS for consideration and
recommendation. From the infor-
nation presented, the Board is
not convinced of the ACCESSIBILITY
of the United States undertaking
any improvement at this locality
at the present time for the follow
ing reasons:
...- This bayou is so crooked that
it could be improved for practical
navigation only by extensive
STRENGTHENING at cOmparatively
large cost
Its waters are used for irriga-
ton purposes to an extent that is
detrimental to navigation.
The problem here is largely one
of drainage and irrigation that
should apparently be handled by
the community.
1t is believed that resulting
benefits to general commerce
would be incommOnsurate with
the cost of improvement for navi-
CATION purposes.
All parties interested in the pro-
posed improvement are invited to
submit, within a period of thirty
days from the date of this notice,
statements and Arguments bearing
upon the necessity for the inn
provement in the interests of COM
imerce for navigation. Such state
lment should be addressed to The
Board of Navigation for Rivers
and HarborS, Munitions Building,
Washington, D. C. Sould a hearing
be desired this can be arranged by
correspondence with the Board.
