CLUB NOTES.

The chief topic of discussion at the
regular monthly meeting Of the Ma
tional Capital Dahlia and Iris Society,
held October 20 at the Mayf1ower
Hotel, was the recent dahlia show, the
success of which exceeded the expec-
tations of the most ardent supporters.
The society needs and deserves a
larger membership among local gar
deners to make possible the holding
of annual shows.
An executive meeting of the Ma
tional Capital Garden Council was
activities for the coming year. This
council is composed Of delegates from
the various garden clubs, and is de-
signed to serve as medium for promot-
ing common interests and uniting the
strength Of the clubs in the support
Of worth while projects, such as de-
velopment of parks, arboretums. etc.

FALL BEARING
STRAWBERRIES.

strawberries appearing on the mar
kets at this season of the year have
not come from the far South, but
from beds of the Autumn bearing va
rteties growing in nearby market gar
dens. Autumn varieties might bet
ter be called all-season bearers, for
under favorable conditions flowers or
fruit may be found on them at any
time in the growing season. Just
what causes some varieties of straw
berries to behave in this way no one
can really explain. The first Ameri-
can variety of this type was found
as q single plant in a field of ordinary
June bearing kinds. Mr. g. NJ. Dar-
row, small fruit specialist Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, informs us
that certain varieties, such as Mar
shall, which bear but one crop in the
East, become all-season varieties in
California
Autumn bearers are more particu
lar in their requirements than the
usual kinds. In certain parts of the
United States the yield of autumn
fruit is sufficient in size and quality
to give them real value. In Wash
ington and vicinity Fall bearers are
more of a pleasing novelty or Curl
osity than a real asset. However,
with irrigation of some kind to sup
ply water at all times and with lib
eral fertilizing fair success may be
attained. Progressive and Superb
were for many years the leading Au-
tumn bearers, but are now yielding
precedence to Rockhill and Mastodon,
larger in size and of better flavor. In
planting and general care Fall bear
ing kinds differ but little from ordi-
nary June bearers.
Spring is the best time to start new
plantations. \ lot of pleasure may
be derived from the culture of these
new Strawberries, provided one does
not expect too much Of them. For
the main crop reliance must he still
placed on the June bearing standard
kinds. For some reason, psychology
cal or otherwise, as it may be, the
ordinary person is more interested in
strawberries in May and June than
late October.

of Spring-set bushes, provided the bed
is located on fairly we'll drained soil
where water does not stand after
rains Like most other kinds OF
plants, roses differ greatly among
themselves in regard to adaptablllty
to locality.
There is a multitude Of varieties,
some of which are absolutely worth
less to the amateur. There are GER
tain varieties which have been long
tested in our vicinity and found reli-
able. Among bush roses are Frau
Karl Druschki white, but unfortu-
nately blooming but once year; Ra-
dance, pink, very sturdy and bloom
ing at intervals from May to Novem
Der; Red Radiance, very vigorous and
fine; Francis Scott Key, fine large
dark-red blooms; Duchess Of Yelling
ton. yellow, and Ophelia, pink and
yellow blend in color.
Roses planted in the Fall should be
mounded about the base with soil for
protection. Pruning should be de-
ferred until Spring, when the full ex-
tent of Winter injury, if.any, may be
noted.
Evening star., 1926-10-23

provided with reserve food that even
in poor soil the flowers will be very
beautiful the first season.
Remember that the paper white mar
cissus is not adapted to outdoor
growth in this vicinity. 1t will try to
grow in late Fall only to be cut down
by Winter storms. But for forcing in
the house it is the easiest Of all the
bulbs, requiring only water with a
few pebbles for support.
Pansy plants set now will be in fine
condition for early Spring blooming,
especially if protected by a mulch of
rotted manure distributed between
the plants.
The frost-free Autumn has been
fine for late vegetables, such as spin
ach, turnips and cabbage, but the
nights have been a trifie cool for to-
matoes and lima beans.
Dahlias planted in late June had a
difficult season, but are now coming
through in fine shape. One really
should make an early and late plant
ing of this flower. Early plants yield
the best tubers and late plants usually
the best blooms but few tubers.
Winter rye, so regularly advocated
in this column as a Winter cover for
the garden, is useful on newly
graded banks or steep sloping lawns

|DAHLIAS AND CANNAS.

Very soon now it will be time to lift
perishable roots, such as Gamma and
dahlia, and remove them to the cellar
or other cool but non-freezing place.
Soon after dahlia tops are killed by
frost the stems should be cut back
to within a foot or so of the ground
and the roots carefully lifted with a
strong spade or fork. Usually there
are several tuberS attached to each
stalk. Unfortunately the buds for
next years plants are located on the
base of the old stem and not on the
tuberS, which really serve merely as
food reservoirs. Hence. care must be
taken not to break off the tubers, and
in our heavy clay soils it is quite a
difficult task to lift the clumps safely.
1t is not necessary to clean away all
the SOIL for this will serve to keep the
roots from too rapid drying during
the Winter.
After exposure for a few hours to
the open air and sun the clumps should
be removed to their Winter quarters.
taking care to store them upside down
so that the sappy stalks may drain
rather than decay. If the storage is
too warm and dry, roots may be placed
in barrels or boxes and covered with
sand or sawdust.
Certain dahlia growers cut the
clumps apart in the Autumn, but for
most of us it is better to wait until
Spring, when the breaking buds will
indicate the proper cuts. The dahlia
has about the same storage needs as
the white potato-cool and somewhat
moist but no freezing. Hot, dry eel
lars are nearly as great d menace as
freezing.
Cannas are handled in much the
same way as dahlias, but are easier to
dig and sotre, as the roots are in one
solid cluInp rather than as scattered
tubers. If some soil is left on the
clumps at time of digging, there is
considerably less danger of drying out
than in the case of the dahlia.

The Earl Of Balfour In the House

Great Britain had been wise in re-
storing relations with Russia. but he
declared 1t would be dangerous to

that the mass OF the British miners

this country would become the dupe
Of Russia.
Both Sir William Joynson-Hicks and
I ord BalfOur declined to recognize any
between the Soviet and
the different Russian bodies who were
said TO be contributing the

ferent bodies constituted with the
Soviet government are but an instru-

thority.
The home secretary said that apart
from the money for the general strike,
which the British government had In
