GUARD AGAINST PLANT
ENEMIES THAT SPOIL BLOOM

One Of the meanest enemies is the
stalk borer that gets into the stems of
dahlias, burrows up and down the
stalk and kills the bloom shoots, these
whiting and finally dying, often before
the grower realizes that something is
at work that is causing his best spe-
cimens to die without blooming. In
this case slit the stem of the dahlia
lengthwise, remove and kill the borer,
while using great care not to destroy
the whole stalk. There is another en-
emy to the dahlia that produces the
same symptoms, the tarnished plant
bug; this fellow sucks the sap from
the stems and kills the bloom shoots
spray with nicotine solution.
These pests are ruinous and it al
most invariably happens that our very
best speciments are attacked.
The study Of plant diseases and in
sect enemies is, in addition to its ac-
tual value, highly interesting because
OF its simplicity and the comparative
ease with which both are controlled.

should be used as freely as possible
because of their great value in garden
layouts.
Bulbs succeed almost anywhere.
They will grow and produce on pure
sand or in the heaviest clay. Any
heavy soil can be improved for bulb
culture with sand or ashes and lime.
If pure sand is the chosen soil, add
leaves, grass or turn under weeds. In
either case be careful in the use of
manure. If manure is mixed with
any soil for bulb culture it must be
thoroughly rotted, very fine and we'll
mixed with the soil. The better plan
perhaps is to use manure water when
the buds appear above the ground.
One of the safest fertilizers is bone
meal, layer Of which can be applied
at planting time. Leaf mold (woods
earth) is a splendid addition to the
SOIL
Such bulbs as gladiola, Gamma,
tuberose, dahlias and begonia should
be planted only in the spring and dug
and stored in the fall. Most other
bulbs are planted in the autumn.
How deep to plant and when to
plant are important factors in sue
cessful culture.
Lilies go six inches under the sur
face, narcissus and hyacinth five,
tulips and jonquils four, scillas, snow
drops and crocuses three and anem-
ones two inches.
A layer Of sand two inches thick is
advisable with extra choice bulbs.
Most Americans insist upon plant
ing all bulbs in beds, forgetting the
beauties of naturalizing. From 25 to
100 bulbs of hardy anemonies, daffo-
dis, narcissi, snowdrops, crocus, late
Towering tulips and others will actu-
ally do as well, if not better, stuck in
clums in the sod than in a really fine
garden, only give them a supply of
manure water as they peep through
the lawn in the earliest spring.
All bulbs, in ordinary culture,
Newark post., 1922-08-16
Preparations for Fall
Planting Must Begin Now

Bulbs are not seeds or roots; they
are practically complete plants, with
sufficient plant force and material to
mature leaves, flowers and roots.
Their uses are varied; they bear at
tractive flowers and are all of them
generally easy of culture.
Many outdoor bulbs for spring and
summer Towering (all fall planted)
can be used in the house for mid
winter blooming, and every one of
these will repay the little care they
require. Some need earth in pots,
while others need only water in a
suitable glass.
Since the federal board of horticul-
ture at Washington few years since
prohibited the importation of many
valuable and beautiful bulbs, there
are but six that are permitted to
enter this country. The rest of those
obtainable are American grown. The
lily, lily of the valley, narcissus, hya-
cinth, tulip and crocus are those per-
mitted entrance to this country, and
while all of them are certainly the
greatest in demand, still some others
are also of rare value.
Since bulbs are not as plentiful as
formerly, still they are obtainable and

should be allowed to mature their
leaves, and these should not be re-
moved until they turn brown-afte,
the first light freeze, mulching with
leaves will prevent the damage due to
alternate freezing and thawing.
In addition to arrangement and
preparation for bulb planting, pur-
chases of bulbs should be made early
the stocks of imported bulbs will
begin arriving shortly, and Since the
demand is ever increasing it behooves
the intending planter to order early.

Henry Ridgely Out
For Senatorship
Well Known Dover Democrat Gives
Out Interview-Will
Not Fight

neHIy hldSely, dttoIHey dI lower,
who has announced himself as candi-
date for United States Senator on the
Democratic ticket, has given out the
following interview:
"What do you think are the chances
for Democratic success in Delaware
this year,"
"That depends entirely upon the
kind of campaign set up. To win,
there must be the appeal both to
reason and to conscience; and it must
be sincere. Conditions fully warrant
such an appeal. I say this not as a
party man but as a Delawarean.
"The economic issues are vital.
They touch every man and woman Of
every sort and condition. The pros
perity of this state is rooted in agri-
culture and industry. Hurt eitheS,
and you hurt Delaware. l know how
the farmers have been affected be-
cause I own farm and run it, not
lease it. I know how my business is
affected because my bank connections
and my profession have required me
to consider it's situation both from the
angle of the employer and the en-
ployee. The problems that confront
us are big with possibilities for good
or ill.
"There are moral issues that can't
be hid. One need not be a Sunday
School teacher to know the difference
between plain right and wrong.
'The call in 1917 and '1S was to the
best that was in US. There was no
doubt about the response then. Civic
life has other dangers than shot and
shell, and the call in 1922 and '23 is
just as emphatic. 1t is a call to op-
pose the forces of wrong, of selfish
ness and greed.
eve have entered on one of the
most momentous stages of our history.
The need for clear thinking, sober
judgment and high purpose was never
greater.
"There must be a fight to win; a
real fight, not a sham battle, a mere
gesture. 1t must be a fight for Della
ware and Delawareans, not for party
and partisans. Corruption must be
stayed or hunted down and punished,
no matter what the source. There
must be no pretense, no empty prom
ises. The truth must be told about
things as they are. The men who
make the campaign must be the type
the people trust. Their words must
ring with truth. Wherever such
campaign has been made in other
states, it has met with success. | do
not believe the conscience of Della
wareans is less sensitive, or their in
telligence less keen than the citizens
of those states"
"Would you take the nomination
for L. S SENATOR"
eff l thought it was the real wish
Of the people, l would. How could I
do otherwise unless | was afraid of a
fight or of maintaining my principles?
And l am not afraid of either. But l
will make no fight for the nomina-
ton"
"Will you please explain what you
mean when you say that you will
make no fight for the nomination."
81 mean that l will make no cam
paign for the nomination"
