Narcissus bulbs survive from year
to year in the open ground and, eX-
cept for becoming too thick by nat

Teplanted. Most of the varieties lend
themselves TO naturalizing in the
woodlands or fields. There are many
such paintings in our outlying sub
urbs and in some cases are profitably
commercialized to the extent Of an an.
nual sale of flowers. Most of these
large paintings have been developed
by gradual expansion from modest be-
ginnings. One could not afford to

APHIDS

Commonly known under the rather
vulgar sounding name of plant lice,
this group of insects is really q
very serious pest in the garden. They
are already making their appearance
on the young growing shoots Of roses,
spiraeas and other plants. Like most
of the insects the aphids are wonder
fully equipped for continued existence.
Those forms appearing now on culti-
waited plants have spent the Winter
on certain wild plants. to which they
will return in due season. But the
gardener must be prepared TO com
bat them during their stay, for
despite their small size, the aphids are
capable of doing great injury. Num-
bers make up for size, the insects
literally covering the young shoots at
the height of the infestation.
The gardener is naturally primarily
interested in means Of control. For.
tunately certain tobacco extracts, one
of the best known Of which is Black
Leaf 40, are capable of quickly des-
troying the aphids in their feeding

ana the large seeded type. Both in
clude bush and pole or long.stemmed
varieties. AS pointed out by DR..
Shoemaker of the Department of
Agriculture, the sieva types are the
surest croppers in our locality and
south Of here. For some unestablished
reason the bush forms of the large
seeded group very often fail in this
locality to set pods. Frequently one
will find a few pods in early season
and complete failure thereafter, al
though the plant itself continues to
grow in a very vigorous and promis-
ing manner. Such behavior is naturally
disappointing. Henderson Bush, a
variety of the sieva or small seeded
group, does well. Pole limas. outside
of the trouble of providing supports
are more satisfactory. Whether of
the small or large seed types, the pole
limas are generally fruitful and have
a further advantage of being much
more productive.
Lima bean seeds are very susceptible
to injury in cold, wet soil. Hence,
Nav Is is about as early as this seed
may be profitably sown in this locality.
especially If one is planting the large
seeded kinds. Some home gardeners
plant their seeds in pots or boxes of
soil under the protection of the cold
frame. Little is gained by this prac-
tice except earliness, for the long
growing season of Washington pro-
vides sufficient time for normal ripen-
ing. Some home gardeners take the
trouble to plant each bean with the
eve downward. Whether this prac-
tice is worth the added effort is a
worthy question. In clay soils the
seeds sometimes have difficulty in
breaking through the crust formed
after rains. In this case. cultivating
the soil as closely as possible to the

stage. 1t is believed that the strong
nicotine gases given off from the
spray are the really active killing
agents. The main point is that these
tobacco sprays are pretty sure killers.
This material may be purchased in
small quantities adapted to the home
garden from most any seed, hardware
or drug store. Directions for diluting
are on tho bottle. A little plain soap
suds sufficient to give the diluted
spray a murky appearance will add
considerably to it's effectiveness.
Because of their feeding habits,
plant lice, or aphids, cannot be con
trolled by poisons of the type of Paris
green or arsenate of lead. They are
members of the sucking insect group,
drawing their food from the soft new
growth by simply thrusting tubular
mouth part directly into the plant
tissue. There are only two ways or
fighting the insect, by bringing a kilt
ing spray in actual contact with his
body or by suffocating him with
poisonous gas. The tobacco sprays
likely kill in both ways. Application
of roisons which kill through inges-
ton in the stomach would be as futile
as water or nothing, and simply repre-
sent lost energy and money for the
gardener. 1t is better to start spray
ing roses and other plants as soon as
the insects appear rather than wait
until evidence of injury Is shown.

time in the year when the ground is
not frozen, but best results are to be
expected from moving bulbs In that
period following the death of the
leaves in June up to about the middle
OF September, when the new roots
commence to put forth from the
bulbs. This is the resting period for
the narcissus. But there is no reason
why any one in moving his residence
cannot take these hardy bulbs with
him. irrespective of the season of the
year. Even bulbs which have been
used for forcing in the house will re-
cover after a few seasons in the open
ground.
OF varieties there are a myriad,
most of which are beautiful and worth
growing. The variety fancier may
delve to his hearts content in this
great group. But for the home gar
dener who is mainly interested in
having cut flowers for the home, there
are n few outstanding varieties the
bulbs of which are reasonable in
price and easily obtained. Among
these are Golden Spur. Emperor and
King Alfred in the golden trumpet
class, Gloria Mundi and Sir Watkin
in half-length trumpet class, Barri
Conspicuous with short trumpet and
Ornatus and Recurvus in the poet
class.
With a little care and added food
a small planting will in two or three
seasons increase into wealth of
plants and bloom.

Residents of Washington and vicin-
ity are fortunate in living in a region
so favorable to Spring flowers, both
wild and cultivated forms. Perhaps
sometimes it is difficult to appreciate
blessings which are so near at hand
and so easy of access. Take, for ex-
ample, the pansy beds on the Depart
ment of Agriculture lawn. These are
now attaining their best condition and
it is not believed a finer show could
be seen anywhere. The tulip beds

row or moistening with water will
often assist the young plant in break

In respect to supports, poles are
perhaps most satisfactory and as the
vines grow quite tall the poles or
other supports should reach at least
six feet above the ground. The lima
