Gardening in Washington
AND ITS ENVIRONS


The materials used in seed disinfec-
ton include corrosive sublimate or
mercury bichloride, formaldehyde, hot
water and proprietary organic mer-
curry preparations, such as uspulun
apd semesan Each kind of seed has
its particular disease enemies, requir-
ing special treatment. Yet for a gen
eral safety measure, immersion for
five minutes in a one part to 1000 of
water solution of mercury bichloride
will free seed of those spores carried
on the exterior surface. One heSitateS
to recommend mercuric sublimate or
bichloride, since it is a very dangerous
internal poison and must be kept from
children or animals.
Because of the corroding nature of
the chemical, one must use an earth
enware, glass or wooden vessel. The
water should be less than so degrees
Fahrenheit in temperature. The seed
may be placed in a small cotton sack.
After treatment the seed must be
rinsed in two or three changes of
fresh water and spread out to dry.
Pruning Roses.
Roses. that is the ordinary bush
forms such as Radiance and Frau
Karl Druschki, should be pruned now
If one desires choice flowers. Prun-
ing also tends to keep the plants in
rea sonable bounds. Ungainly, over
sized rose plants are not ornamental
In the small garden. Since roses
flower upon new growth to be formed
this Spring and Summer, there is no
fear of cutting away the seasons
