THE GLADIOLUS

The gladiolus is deservedly. popular,
for no plant is more certain to give
satisfaction even in the face of rather
difficult conditions. BY planting at
different intervals from April to July
one can secure an almost unbroken
supply of bloom from June to October.
It. quite possible to vary consider
ably the time of bloom in a single
planting by using different depths of
soil cover or by using early ana late
maturing varieties.
Although good, strong bulbs will
bloom in almost any kind of soil, a
well fortified and prepared soil is es-
sential to the production of the best
blooms. The gladiolus is usually
grown for cutting and may for this
purpose be planted in rows in the back
garden. The depth of planting should
vary according to the nature of the
soil, in sandy loan four to six inches,
in clay three to four inches or even
less. The rows may be spaced about
two feet apart and the bulbs six inches
apart in the row. Bamboo stakes or
wire rods are often used for supports,
but drawing the soil up to the plants
will generally suffice.
Gladiolus may be used to advantage
in the flower border, planting in
clunnps much in the same way that
tulips are utilized. The bright, at
tractive colors will aid greatly in
livening up the borders during the
empty days of midsummer. The gladi-
olus has been greatly improved in re-
cent years by the introduction of new
types and varieties, including the
dainty and attractive primulinus hy-
birds. Those who have been accus-
toned to purchasing bulbs here and
there without much heel to varieties
should obtain catalogues from the
gladiolus specialists and select some
of the new, choice kinds.

FIRE BLIGHT

Fire blight, so named because OF
the pecuIiar resemblance of the dead
wood to that scorched by fire, is per-
haps the greatest menace TO pear,
apple and ounce growing. In sea
sons favorable to the disease 1t is not
unusual to see entire trees OF sus-
ceptible varieties die in a few days.
1t is an extremely difficult disease 10
combat, as the entire life of the or
ganism is passed beneath the outer
bark in the soft, new growing tissues.
Hence spraying is of no avail except
as it controls insects such SIS plant
lice, which are believed responsible
for carrying the bacteria from tree TO
tree.
Varieties differ greatly in their re-
sistance to fire blight. This is one
reason why poor varieties of pears
such as Kieffer and CARRIER have
gained such an ascendancy in this and
other fruit regions. 1t has been
simply a question Of the survival OF
the fittest, not the best. The better
varieties OF pears such as Bartlett,
sheldon and Anjou are rarely planted
in this vicinity, due largely to ire
blight. Fortunately apples are more
resistant as a group. though certain
kinds. such as Yellow Transparent,
JOld lIldli anu ! VI ~ a y S'N''-''
Jured.
Another thing that the gardener
-an do is to avoid high culture. Rapid,
soft growth of pear is especially
susceptible to rapid injury by fire
blight. Hence young trees should he
kept growing steadily but should not
be given large applications of manure
or fertilizer Pear trees in sod often
survive when those in tillage are
killed. Various treatments, such as
driving nails into trees and injections
of chemicals, have never been found
Of any use whatsoever.
Commercial growers in Michigan
and other fruit States have made
progress by attacking the disease at
its source, diseased spots on the trunks
of old trees. Cleaned back to healthy
tissue and thoroughly painted with
antseptics, these sources of infection
may be largely eradicated. This is
hardly work for the amateur fruit
grower, but if any one is interested he
may secure the necessary information
by addressing the Department of
Agriculture.

Now that the Spring flush of
flowers is drawing to a close, it be-

a supply Of cut flowers for the home.
Nasturtiums, coreopsis and gaillar-
dia are among the plants which can
effectively bridge the rather empty
period of early Summer.
1t is about time to stop cutting as
paragus. The bed should be spaded
shallowly and a liberal dressing of fer
