FERTILIZERS FOR
LAWNS

Preliminary reports upon lawn fertil-
izing experiments in progress at the
Arlington Experimental Farm suggest
that we will have to revise somewhat
our ideas upon fertilizing lawns. Tests,
including all the well known materials,
such as bone meal, nitrate of soda.
ammonium sulphate and acid phos-
phate, showed quite conclusively that
certain rather unusual materials, such
as cotton seed meal and soy bean meal,
were by far the best. Very active nj
trogen fertilizer, such as nitrate of
soda, promoted good growth, but were
difficult to apply without killing some
Of the grass.
The cotton seed meal was applied at
the rate Of about IL pounds per 1000
square feet in early Spring and again
in theAutumn. In using these coneen.
trated materials one should not rely
upon guess work, but should actually
measure the area to be treated. Good
quality cotton seed meal contains in
each 100 pounds of substance approx
tmately seven pounds of nitrogen, three
pounds Of phosphoric acid and two
pounds Of potash. 1t is finely subdi-
vided and hence is comparatively easy
to apply evenly, and, in view of the
favorable results secured at Arlington
Farm, should be given q widespread
test by home owners.

QUALITY IN
VEGETABLES

Very often the argument is offered
that the home garden is money
losing proposition and that the home
gardener might more profitably pur-
chase his vegetables from the grocery
store. Admittedly there is much
truth in the assertion in the case of
small gardens. but there are two or
three considerations in favor of the
home garden which for most of us
more than offset the purely none
tary standard of value. Perhaps the
most important consideration is
quality, not perhaps in the sense of
size and external beauty, but in
respect to flavor on the table. AS
emphasized by DR.. Shoemaker in q
recent discussion before the Takoma
horticultural Club, three important
vegetables stand out in this consider
alton. These are asparagus, peas
and sweet corn. All three lose sweet
ness and delicacy of flavor very
rapidly after being harvested. The
average city consumer probably
never does know these vegetables at
their best.
Unfortunately. sweet corn takes up
a great amount Of garden space in
proportion to returns and is often
left out Of smaller gardens Just on ac-
count of this fact. Asparagus can
very well be included in all but the
very small gardens. Peas, If planted
early in April, generally yield good
returns, provided one selects early and
midseason varieties such as Alaska,
Thomas Laxton and Gradus, and is
willing to go to the trouble of putting
up chicken wire or other supports to
prevent the plants from lying on the
soil.

TOMATO GROWING


The tomato is one of the most
valuable of the vegetables Tor the
garden and in many ways one OF the
| most satisfactory to grow as the
nIants are productive over a long
neriod. The tomato is a native OF
| tropical America and is. in conse-
| uuence, a hot-weather plant, suscepti-
BILE to injury from light frosts. Hence
| tomatoes cannot be safely set out oil
| doors in this latitude until almost the
middle Of May unless one is prepared
10 cover them with boxes or plant pro-
tectors of some kind. If so prepared
tomatoes may be set out safely as
early as MAY /. Nothing Is gained by
earlier planting because the tomato
can not grow in cool weather, favora-
bic to lettuce, peas and radishes.
Most home gardeners purchase to.
mato plants rather than so TO the
pains of raising the few required Tor
a small garden. In many ways THIS
Is a satisfactory plan and in many
ways it is not. Store plants are often
grown under crowded and forced con-
iitlons which give q spindly plant
with small roots. Such plants require
a week or more to recover from trans
planting. Home grown plants grown
In a hot-bed and cold frame may be
given plenty of space and, If trans
planted to pots along about the last
of April. Will develop a strong root
system which will not suffer at al
from final transplanting to the field.
Tomato plants in the home garden
are best grown on stakes or a wire
trells. Supported plants take less
room in the garden, are easily cultl-
waited and sprayed, and have the
added advantage Of ripening the fruit
somewhat earlier than plants on the
ground. For most varieties the stakes
should be about five feet in length
allowing one foot in the soil. The
plants usually will grow much taller,
but should be pinched off at the top.
For fertilizer use high-grade brand
of commercial material. Phosphorlc
acid tends to promote early rlpening
and large yields. Hence, If animal
manures are used, these should De
supplemented with acid phosphate,
about two ounces per plant. None or
these fertilizers should come directly
in contact with the young roots, out
should be thoroughly worked into the
soil
Varieties are the most important
numbers, differing widely in color.
shape. size and what is much the
most. important, in resistance to
disease. OF the ordinary red vari-
cites Earlianna, John Baer, Benny
Best, Baltimore Stone and Ponderosa
are standard varieties. Ponderosa is
q home garden favorite on account
of almost solid meaty fruits. But
none of these is disease resistant.
Dr. Pritchard and Mr.. Porte of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture have developed. by selection
and crossing, some fine resistant
types, including Marvana and Mar
globe. These are offered already by
some seedsmen and will soon be
available to every one. Grown side
by side with ordinary plants in
wilt infected soil, these new kinds
remain green and thrifty, while the
others gradually weaken and die
without fruiting.

CHICAG0AN APPOINTED
TO REALTY LEGAL STAFF
Harry E. Smoot Named Assistant
Attorney General of National
Association.

Harry E. Smoot of Chicago has
been appointed to the legal staff of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards as its assistant general attor-
ney. Mr.. Smoot will give his full time
to the legal problems arising in CON
nection with the associations activi-
ties He will work under the direc.
ton of Gen. Nathan William Mac
Chesney, the associations general
counsel.
Member boards of the association,
at its request, are filing with that
body the names Of their legal ad.
visers and of their consulting &C.
oountants. The step is being taken
so that there may be a close cooper
alton between the national body and
its various local constituent boards in
important matters in which common
interests are involved.
The arrangement in effect organizes
a national cooperative legal depart
nent for real estate boards. II is ex-
pected to consolidate the association 3

membership term "realtor" in ad-
vancing license legislation for the pro
lection of investors in real estate and
in carefully studying all taxation

western University's school Of law and
was formerly secretary Of the Ameri-
can Institute of Criminal Law and

HOME PAINTINGS

Generally speaking, the simpler the
paintings about the home the more
beautiful is the effect. This is espe.
cially true in the case of the smaller
homes. Masses of shrubbery are dis
tinctly out of place on the small lawn
and specimen plants scattered here
and there without any apparent pur-
pose are not really ornamental.
Shrubs and evergreens should be
grouped about the base of the house,
serving thus not only to hide the
foundation but also to make the house
appear as a part of the grounds. Foun.
dalton paintings, as they are usually
called. do not demand a great outlay
of money unless one wishes to start
with large sized eVergreens, which are,
of course. rather costly.
Among deciduous shrubs--that is,
those which shed their leaves in late
Autumn-the small deutzias. lemoi-
nei and gracilis are very effective.
The much used bridal wreath, Spiraea
Van Houttei, is very beautiful, but is
so frequently planted that one may
naturally prefer something less COM
mon. For the shady side of the house
nothing can surpass the rhododen.
drons, which thrive very well in Wash
ington soils i'm lime is not applied.
Coniferous evergreens in a way sur
pass all other plants for foundation
paintings, especially if one selects the
dwarf growing types of arborvitae re-
tinospora, juniper and yew. Tall
growing evergreens such as Norway
spruce are frequently used, but al
ways lead to ultimate disappointment
as they become too large and at the
same time scraggly in appearance.
fhOGn To
may be well in the start to combine
shrubs and evergreens. In this way
one can use small evergreens, allow
ing the faster growing shrubs to flll
in the interim during which the ever.
greens are developing. Foundation
paintings may be frightened up by
Spring flower bulbs and brightly col
ored ANIMALS placed in the immediate
foreground.
