Mexico Cooperates
Several months ago the United
States Postal Department informed
the Mexican government that they
would meet Mexico at the border
with aerial mail service. The border
point was never designated by the Of
ficials Of either country. Aviation
companies in Mexico insisted upon
the selection Of Matamoros and
Brownsville as the border points as
this Offered the best ard most feas-
ible route TO the border. Ii is under
stood that this route is also preferred
BY the companies which will handle
the American mail, as u IS a low alti-
tude route permitting the carrying Of
maximum loads.
The Mexican aviation companies
lave indicated that several planes
would be placed an the service as

Due TO the fact that q plane onerat-
ing on the Tampico- Brownsville leg

It is an interesting fact that most
of the varieties selected as choice by
the American Rose Society members
ar, already well known in this locality
and generally planted. Several of
them are natives of this vicinity and
have long since proved their adapta-
bility to our soils and climate.
Roses planted now, before real freez-
ing weather sets in, will be in posi-
ton to take advantage of early Spring
and will flower much better next sea-
son than those set in the Spring.
Practically all roses are dug from the
nurseries in late Fall and stored in
bundles in cellars, hence it stands to
reason that the roots will suffer less
if placed at once in the ground. Newly
set plants and, as a matter of fact, es-
tablished plants will benefit by being
banked up with soil about the base.
With this protection there will be no
danger. no matter what the weather,
of losing the entire plants.
Mr.. Simmons of the Takoma Horti
cultural Club calls attention to the
fact that roses make some new root
growth during Winter. This behavior
has also been observed in fruit trees,
in the roots below the freezing line,
and further bears out the advisablity
Vi autumn painting. AnOIneF punt
in favor of planting now is that one
may expect better plants than in the
Spring, when stocks are small follow
ing many sales. Rare and new varie-
ties are often sold out altogether in
the Spring.
The Fameuse Apples.
This important group of apple vari-
eties, including Mcintosh. Early Nc
Intosh, Cortland. Canada Baldwin,
Scarlet Pippin. st. Lawrence and
Shiawassee, characterized by red skin
co.or, very white flesh. high quality
and great Winter hardness, play an
important role in the fruit-growing of
Eastern Canada, New York and the
Nc England States.
The Mcintosh in particular deserves
our attention, not only because of ts
par excellent quality, but because it
seems bound to reach Washington
markets in much greater quantities
in the near future. More trees of this
variety have been planted in recent
years in the New England States than
of any other variety, fact which will
necessitate the rapid expansion of the
marketing area. Once this apple Is
well known there is no question but
that it will dominate the late Autumn

are, however, some very satisfactory
substitutes for fresh manures. Com.
mercial fertilizer of the better grades,
applied at the rate of one pound per
so square feet, will greatly stimulate
the lawn and may be applied now or
early in the Spring. Cottonseed meal
has lately been found to be an excel
lent fertilizing substance for the lawn
and may be used safely at almost
any time of the year. Sheep manure
and shredded cattle manure are also
good fertilizers, but rather expensive
where large areas are to be treated.
The commercial fertilizers will
probably be found the most reason
able source of fertility and. although
not quite equal to the old-fashioned
stable manure, have the advantage of
being free OF weed seed. By stimu-
lating vigorous growth, which upon
clipping is returned to the soil. the
chemicals also assist in supplying the
decayed vegetable substances known
as humus.
Some Of the finest lawns and
grassed areas are methodically fertil-
lied and reseeded each year and in
this way maintained in a perma-
nently attractive condition.
Timely Suggestions.
One of the curious results of the
protracted growing season has been
the abundant Autumn Towering of the
hybrid perpetual roses which are or.
dinarily considered Spring boomers in
this locality. The splendid pure white
Frau Karl Druschki has been in al.
most continuous bloom since Septem-
ber, behaving just like a monthly
blooming variety.

Another peculiarity of the group is
that they all seem to require the

Care of Grass.
Grass is really the finest decorative
plant of all, but is SO common that
its value is not generally appreciated
until some unfavorable condition has
destroyed it's beauty. The average
gardener fertiliZes his vegetable and
flower beds with due regularity, but
pays little heed to the grass save to
NOW it during the growing season.
Yet regular feeding of the lawn will
pay equal returns in satisfaction and
beauty to any other part of the
grounds. In the days of plentiful
stable manure it used to be a com
mon practice to place thin coating
of manure on the lawn just about the
advent Of Winter, a treatment which
gave excellent results, but necessarily
has gone out of vogue now. There
