GREAT INVENTIONS

The Tightening rod was invented
by Benjamin Franklin, in 1852. Fol
a great many years practical minded
mem disputed the worth of the light
ening rod as a preventive measure
Agents used to swindle people by
the wholesale by putting up useless
tightening rods. However, there is
no longer any question raised
against tightening rods when they
are properly installed. Every big
building has Tightening conductors
which represents the old principle
of the tightening rod.
Thomas A. Edison is one of the
greatest inventors the world has
ever known. He brought out the
quadruplex telegraph in 1874; the
talking machine in 1877; the in
candescent lamp in 1873, and the
motion picture machine in 1898.
The sewing machine was invented
bw Howe in 1916. Before that time
all sewing was done by hand.
Trolley cars were first used in
Richmond, Virginia, about 1884.
Motor busses which are now be-
coming very common were practi-
cally unknown ten years ago.
The first American typewriter
was brought out by ShOles in 1873.
The moving machine, with the
differential gear, was invented by
Eickemeyer in 1876.
The gasoline motor that is used
in automobiles was invented by
Selden in 1879.
The linotype typesetting machine
was invented by Mergenthaller in
1885.
The telephone was the invention
of Bell in 1876. Practically all the
great electrical inventions have been
brought out within the past fifty
years. Funny world, wasn't it, be-
fore all these big things were in
vented?

WOODBRIDGE FLOWER
SHOW.

The Woodbridge Garden Club ex-
tends cordial invitation to all flower
lovers to attend it's Spring flower show
to be held Monday and Tuesday eve
nings, May 80 and 81, in the Sher-
wood Presbyterian Hall, Twenty-sec-
ond street and Rhode Island avenue
northeast. Over so classes and sub
classes have been arranged for, includ-
ing roses. peonies. iris, various ANIMALS
and biennials, fruits and vegetables.
Prizes aggregating $500 in value have
been secured through the active eff
forts of l.. M. Clark. chairman of
the show committee. The Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Club will award
a special medal y the sweepstakes
winner. The hall will be open from
Z to . am. and from 2 to SIS pm. to
receive entries. All residents of Wood.
ridge are urged to enter exhibits.
AS mentioned previously, the Wood
ridge Garden Club is one of the very
best. Starting less than year ago
as an expansion of the old garden
committee of the Rhode Island Ave
nue. Citizens Association. the new
club has made really phenom-
email growth. having at present over
1l5 members. DR.. r. J. Haskell, as
president. has had a conspicuous part
in placing the Woodbridge club on a
sound footing. A visit to the flower
show will convince any one that gard
ening has real interest to Woodbridge

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS

One Of the secrets of success in set
ting out tomato plants is to avoid dis.
turbing the root system. For this rea.
son, plants taken out of individual
pots or paper boxes take hold more
quickly than those lifted from a
crowded fiat. Plants set without much
root disturbance continue growth
without going through period Of diff
ficult establishment. which often
means dropping of the first blooms
and delay in early fruiting. Acid phos.
phate has been found to have a bene-
iicial effect in fastening early ma
turity in the tomato, even though the
plants were abundantly supplied with
manure.
Do not delay the removal of the old
Towering shoots of lilacs. spiraeas.
deutzias and the like. These old
shoots will never flower again and
naturally are a detriment to the new
shoots which are to be the Towering
shoots of next year.
In some gardens. tulips leaves are
beginning to turn yellow. which means
that the roots are ripening and may
be dug. Stored away in dry place.
they will ripen better than IN the soil.
Evening star., 1927-05-28
HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY SHOW.

The big event of the year in local
gardening circles is the comprehensive
exhibit to be held June 1 and in the
hall of nations. Hotel Washington, un-
der the auspices of the American Hor-
ticultural Society. There are a large
number of fine community shows and
the attractive iris and dahlia displays
of the National Capital Dahlia and
Iris Society. but none of these attempt
to cover an unlimited field. The Amer
lean Horticultural Society show offers
classes for every flower. fruit or vege-
table now in, season. whether grown
in the greenhouse or outdoors. Every
one, from the large commercial grower
to the humblest Of amateurs, will find
an opening arranged for his material.
Mr.. David Lumsden. exhibition chair
man. was for several years in charge
of floral exhibits at the New York
State Fair and thoroughly under.
stands his duties. Although roses,
peonies and iris may be expected to
predominant. there will be many other
attractive features.
Glasses for flower arrangement, in
various receptacles and on the dining
table should interest the lady of the
house. Particularly interesting to the
garden clubs will be the grand prize
to be awarded that club whose men,
bers win the greatest number of points.

serious losses. Unfortunately, the
finest fruits usually come from the
first blooms so that the percentage
of small berries will probably be un.
usually large. The young shoots Of
grapes in many outlying locations
were frozen back. This does not mean
full crop loss, for the grape generally
RECEIVERS to a considerable extent by
sending forth a second crop of shoots
from dormant buds near the base of
the frozen growth. In some varieties.
these secondary shoots may produce
nearly as good a crop as the original
growth. Experiments have shown that
nothing is to be gained by removing
injured shoots.
Although the cold weather was the
immediate cause of the injuries to
the plant, contributing cause was
without doubt the unusually warm
weather of March which forced vege-
tation into a condition subject to easy
injury. Weather of this kind is for
tunately relatively rare in this locality.
Orchard heaters in some instances
probably would have prevented the
injury, but their cost would hardly
justify the results except in rare in
stances of particularly valuable trees,
Heaters are quite impractical for the
home garden because of, the difficulty
in procuring equipment. fuel and labor
involved in operation.
