open lawn with shrubs planted
against the foundations of the home is
one of the most pleasing arrangements
for the small front lawn.
PERHAPS one of the reasons for so
much privet is the low cost of the
plants. Propagation is very simple
and rapid. Cuttings of young wood
taken at any season and planted
deeply will scarcely ever fail to root.
AS rule cuttings should be taken in
late Fall, buried during the Winter
and set out in rows in the early
Spring. Nicely rooted plants are thus
secured within a years time without
any special care save cultivation.
Care of the HOtbed.
Any one who is not familiar with
growing plants under glass will be
surprised how warm the air becomes
beneath sash-covered frames, even on
relatively cool days, when the sun
shines brightly. 1t is necessary to
raise the windows slightly on such
days and on real warm days to allow
much more ventilation if one does
not want long, spindly. weak plants.
In other words, nothing is gained by
forcing the plants in high tempera-
ture. There is an optimum tempera-
ture beyond which the plant will sur
vive for a while, but will not thrive.
Steady growth is desirable and may
be obtained by regulating the tenn
perature as carefully as is possible.
The low temperatures of night may
be partly offset by covering the glass
sash with straw mating. old carpeting
or some similar material. When one
considers that tender plants, such as
tomatoes, peppers, elephants and mel
ons, may not be safely set outdoors
in this vicinity much before May 15,
it is evident that there is still ample
time for these plants to develop in
the frames, even though the growth
is restrained by proper ventilation.
The hotbed is quite a problem for
the home gardener who is away
through the day and unless he has
some competent assistant at home who
is able to adjust the sash to the
weather conditions he is likely to be
disappointed in the outcome.
Early in April many Of the Seeding
plants grown indoors or in the hotbed
may be transplanted into a cold
frame, which differs from the hotbed
only in the absence of manure or other
source Of heat. The hotbed may then
be used for bedding sweet potatoes
or for growing more plants for later
use.
The warm days of the middle OF

GARDENING IN WASHINGTON

March brought some of the pansy
plants in the grounds of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture into flower.
These hardy veterans of the long
Winter season will soon be a mass of
bloom. The seed from which these
fine beds were developed was planted
last Summer, but it is quite possible
to grow excellent plants for this SUM
mer's blooming from seed sown out
of doors at this season. Good pansy
seed is quite expensive, but is worth
the difference in the size of the re-
sulting plants and color and quality Of
the blooms. The seed bay be sown
in rows, covering with only a little
soil about six times the depth of the
seed. Firm the soil with a fiat sur
face of a board or trowei. If kept
moist the seed will terminate in about
10 days. A covering of newspaper
laid over the seed bed will prevent
surface drying and hasten growth, but
must, of course. be removed as soon as
the plants appear.
The young plants. If growing in a
SOL enriched with old manure and
leaf mold. make rapid root growth
and should be thinned out or reset as
soon as they are large enough to
handle. The seeding beds should, Of
course. be kept free of weeds. AS
evidenced by the Agricultural Depart
ment beds, pansies thrive best in the
open sun. away from trees and other
competing plants.
Timely Suggestions.
This time of year is ideal for plant
ing trees, bush fruits, ornamental
shrubs, evergreens. vines and, in fact,
practically all plants. The only ex
ceptions at this time are shrubs and
trees which have leafed out to a con-
siderable extent. Even these will
suffer only temporary setback, and
will quickly recover Fortunately
much of the stock set in the Spring
comes out of storage cellars, the cool
air of which holds back the young
growth.
Raspberry supports and grape trel-
Uses should be examined and, if

Colored Stucco Approved.

Texture and color effects through
the use of stucco in residence con-
struction apparently are here to stay.
And such effects have received the
approval of the most noteworthy per
sons in the building profession, for
colors and textures mean an end to-
the commonplace and the drab in the
building of even the smallest homes.
They mean that every person has an
opportunity to express himself or
herself in the exterior as well as the
interior of the home.

SKIP SHOW FOR
PARK LARK

Those joyous. brilliantly lighted
and ever attractive roller coasters
merry-go.rounds, and what-nots, al
Glen Echo Amusement park. made
to thrill the hearts of little ad
venturers, become mere skeletons
looming white and OMNIBUS after
the lights have gone out and the
crowds have gone home.
These facts, accentrated by the
pangs of hunger, have made an
dolph w. Neal, IL years old, and
John A. Neal, jr., 9, his brother,
who left their home 921 Sixth ST.,
n. E., on Sunday to go to a NOV.
ing picture show but went TO the
amusement park instead.
The two little boys were given
$3.50 each and admonished to re-
turn home as soon as the show
was oyer. With such riches, how.
ever, they decided to traverse the
great distance to Glen Echo. Ar.
irving at the park they started
riding on everything there and very
soon found that they had no money
left.
They took the matter light-heart-
edly until everyone went home.
The amusements then looked
CHASTITY so they climbed side by
side into hammock and went to
sleep. But every time one awoxe
he saw those outlines that looked
like the skeletons of mammouth
by-gone animals and cold chills
chased themselves up and down
his spine.
All day yesterday they remained
at the park until a kind stranger
gave them car fare and they
started home.
In the meantime their frantic
mother, Mrs. J. A. Neal, had
started to look for them. She was
walking on E street. between Thirt.
zenith and Fourteenth SITS, N. W.,
when she saw two bedraggled,
hungry and penitent youngsters
who flew into her arms and prom.
Used to never again be so careless
with their money and to never,
never go to Glen Echo when they
said they were going to a movie.

ASK 10 MILLION
FOR PARKS

A five-year-program. involving
an expenditure of s1O,O0O,OOO, is
to be recommended for the pur.
chase Of parks and Fairgrounds in
Washington to Congress by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
An expenditure of 100000 an.
nually-just twice the maximum
that the present law provides for
is required to give the District
adequate public reserves, the COM
mission believes.
In the environs of Washington.
the commission lays stress upon
the fact that the Potomac gorge
surrounding Great Falls should be
acquired for park purposes at an
early date by joint action of the
Federal Government and the Vir-
ginia and Maryland State gov
ernments.
The complete program of the Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission calls for two major
improvements to be completed in
advance Of the George Washington
bicentennial in 1882: the Mt. Yer
non boulevard and the architectural
development of the grounds around
the Washington Monument, in &C.
cordance with the plan of 1902.
1t also calls for a new system
Of condemning land required for
park and public purposes, with
the probable abolition of the jury
system in condemnation; it sup
ports the Shipstead bill and other
measures designed to control pri.
vate and commercial construction
within the District.
