Gardening in Washington
AND ITS ENVIRONS


pedigreed trees obviously arose from
comparisons with animals, but 1t must
| be recoilected that each animal is a
distinct individual while the fruit tree
| or plant is bud or part of another
tree
II Is true that once in great while
there arises a bud bearing fruits of
altogether different color. In the ap-
pie. for example, there is the Red
Gravenstein from the original yellow
and red Gravenstein. Red Northern
Spy from the original striped Spy, etc.
These are distinct new varieties.
Certified fruit trees are, on the other
hand. a reliable product, the "certi-
fed" simply being a guarantee that
the tree is correctly named. Ger
tain scientific horticulturists, following
the leadership of DIR. J. X. Shaw of
Massachusetts, have actually trained
themselves to recognize young nurs
growth characters. Remarkable accu-
racy is attained so that in walking up
and down the nursery rows, misnamed
trees are detected and labeled.
One is justified in paying small
premium for a certified tree because
the assurance of getting the variety
that one wants is worth the price. But
another difficulty enters here. I'm
scrupulouS nurseries are advertising
certified stock which never has been
really checked by competent workers.
About the only safe plan for the home
gardener is to deal with large estab-
lished nurseries or with nearby nurs-
cries where he can actually see the
stock growing and have confidence in
the nurseryman.

RODENT PROTECTION

OF the various injuries, wind, ice
and freezing, that beSet fruit trees
in the Winter season, none quite
equals i'm evaporation to the owner
that incurred from the inroads of ro.
edents such as woodchuckS, mice and
rabbits. OF course, this type of injury
does not occur to any extent in the
city proper. but often is serious men
ace in the suburban fruit garden.
In this region of little snow, raoDlts
are not as serious enemies of fruit
trees as are mice and may be Kept
away by placing a cylinder of close
meshed wire fencing about each tree.
The wire also helps in the case or
mice, but is not altogether certain pro
lection as some species of mice do not
confine their activities to above ground
but feed also upon the root bark.
Clearing up rubbish, old limbs,
weeds and grass from about the trees
helps to discourage the mice. The
area immediately about the trunk
should be scraped free of weeds and
mounded slightly with freshly WORKED
soil or sifted ashes. For some un'
known reason the mice dislike to cross
the cleared areas.
Where mice are very numerous,
pojsoned grain may be used as q bait,
taking great care to place the bait in
hollow tiles or under boards in such
way that birds will not find it. Various
methods are recommended for repel-
ling mice by painting the trunks OF
trees with disagreeable mixtures. but
are usually only temporarily eftectlVe
and cannot be relied upon. Cleaning
M the orchard is the first and most
important step in protecting trees

ASPARAGUS FROM SEED

Results secured by the vegetable
specialists OF the California Agricul-
tural Experiment Station suggest that
it might well pay the home gardener
who has the time and inclination to
grow his own asparagus plants.
In the first place, asapargus is a
very satisfactory crop to handle; the
seeds are large, terminate strongly
and the young plants are vigorous
growers. Large one-year-old plants
are best for planting and If the gar
dener has raised quantity of seedlings
and needs only comparatively few
for his permanent beds. he has the
opportunity to select the very best
vantage of being in the very best pos.
sible condition for planting.
An even greater advantage of
growing asparagus plants in the home
garden would be the opportunity af-
forded for selecting the male plants
for the permanent beds. Male plants
in third season outyielded female
plants by over so per cent at the
California station. ands somewhat
comparable results have been secured
in the East in Ohio and Massachu-
setts.
In California asparagus seedlings
bloomed the first season, so that sepa
ration according to sexes was quickly
accomplished. In this locality flowers
cannot be expected until the second
season, so that it would be necessary
to leave the plants in the original
row for two years, or at the end of
the first year to dig the plants. sepa.
rating them on basis of size, and
replant in a second nursery bed to
await Towering. This latter practice
is followed out in Germany on a COM
mercial scale, faith in the superiority
of the male plants being strong enough
to stimulate the extra labor and ex-
pense.
Seed of Mary Washington and other
fine varieties of asparagus is offered
for sale in certain seed catalogues
If any trouble is found in locating
sources of seed. the Department of
Agriculture should be able to furnish
names of reliable growers.
Evening star., 1927-11-12

the preferred varieties may be propa-
gated and the other rejected. As
soon as the old stems have finished
blooming they should be cut off near
the ground and burned. 1t will be
noticed at this time that next years
plants are already showing.
Many beautiful varieties of hardy
outdoor chrysanthemums were eX-
hibited in the Department of Agri-
culture show. This would have been
an ideal place for selecting choice
varieties for ones garden, as choice
among living plants is much more
effective and satisfactory than from
catalogues. Undoubtedly many local
gardeners took advantage of the op-
portunity afforded. 1t is not to be
expected that one can equal out.of-
doors the wonderful results that Mr.
Byrnes and his corps of skilled gar
deners obtain in the greenhouse. The
display gave. however. fine chance
to judge the comparative merits OF
the many varieties.
Old canes should have been removed
from the raspberry and blackberry
rows long ago, but if not done should
be attended to promptly. The dead
canes harbor insects and fungi and
serve to carry over these pests to the
living canes. The living canes should
be tied to the trellis wires. SO that
they may not be broken down during
Winter.
Try out the method recommended In
recent article in this column of
treating old leaves with ammonium
sulphate. lime and leaf mold or little
manure as a source of future manur
ing material
The long frostfre Autumn gave
late tomatoes and lima beans an extra
long season. much to the benefit of
the gardener who had made late plant
ings of these vegetables. November
was, even for this vicinity. a very late
date for the killing frost. Only the
hardy and semi-hardy plants like cab
bage, chard, beets, carrots and pars-
nips remain. Celery, if not already
banked with earth or boards, should
be attended to as soon as possible.
Kale will continue to make growth for
some time yet, and if not making
progress will be helped by cultivation
and a small application of complete
fertilizer or nitrate of soda.

FALL SPRAYING

ANY time after the leaves drop In

plants comparatively easy.
Concentrated lime sulphur diluted
with seven parts of water is an effec-
tive spray for dormant plants. Various
proprietary oil emulsions are also ef-
fective, but as lime sulphur is more
readily available and better known to
the home gardener it is still to be
recommended as first choice.
Lime sulphur has an added advan-
tage in that it is also a destroyer of
fungus disease spores and on the
peach. for example. destroys not only
any scale insects but also the over.
wintering spores of leaf curl and other
diseases. Late Fall spraying is, in
case of heavy infestation of scales. a
necessity and in any case valuable
treatment as a general cleansing treat
ment for disease.
Another point in favor of spraying
at this season is that the gardener
usually has more time for such work.
Too often if put off until Spring, spray
ing is laid aside until too late in the
general rush of Spring work.
