are frozen. In taking the cutting one
should select young growth, making the
cut just below a node, the place Of
attachment of the leaves. The cutting
in the case of geranium should be four
or five inches long.
Before inserting the cutting in the
roofing bed. which may be simply a
fower pot or common box filled with
sand or sandy soil, trim off all except
two or three of the tip leaves. Leaves
would be helpful if it were not for the
loss of the water by evaporation. II

Rose propagation by cuttings is COM
mon practice in this locality, some gar
denerS attaining unusually good results
This season of the year appears to be a
favorable period for the task. Matured

usually selected and cut into pieces four
or five buds in length. The roofing

may, however, be placed where they are
desired to grow, but bed has several
advantages, important among which is
the fact it may be protected in an un-
usually cold period. After planting, each
rose cutting is covered with an inverted
glass jar, which serves the dual purpose
of increasing the temperature and of
preventing drying out Of the cutting.
AS weather becomes real cold, soil may
be brought up around the jars and, as
suggested. in extreme weather some COW
ering such as an old blanket may be
placed over the whole bed. The raising
of rose plants from cuttings is an inter-
esting task, and even if the resulting
plant is not as good as a grated plant,
which is debatable question, there is
a lot of satisfaction in having helped it
to grow.

Grafton. Pyrethrum soap sprays are
considered very promising, and are
especially adapted to the home garden,
where the success of the crop rather
than the immediate cost of the spray

DR.. Graf gave out a hopeful sugges-
ton when he declared that the bean
beetle has usually been most destruc-
tive in its first one or two years in a
given locality Cleaning up the old
vines at this sseason can be of no
material benefit, as the principal hiber-
mating quarters are in the woods and
hilly country. DR.. Graf emphasized
the point that any gardener expecting
to grow beans, especially the common
snap or string beans, had better be
prepared to fight this insect the coming

they are capable of destroying the bean

THE HARDY
GHRYSANTHEMUM. .

We have reached the season of the
year when the hardy chrySanthemum
reigns as queen of the outdoor garden,
Just as the beautiful indoor varieties
now reign supreme in the greenhouse.
The chrySanthemum was developed in
Japan, the source of the beautiful or
namental cherries, anemone and other
superb Towering plants. There Is
really but little difference between OUT
door. and indoor chrysanthemunls ex-
cept In hardness. Some of the out
door varieties are grown in green
houses and, conversely, some of the
indoor types are grown outdoors and
lifted for Winter protection.
Hardy chrysanthemums are plants
for the everyday garden. They have
but few pests, eny one can propagate
the plants with great ease, the flowers
come at a season when practically every
thing else has been killed by frost or
long since matured. It is by no means
rare to have a few of the very latest
chrysanthemum blooms still enduring
on Thanksgiving day.
The ease with which chrysanthemums
are increased has probably reacted
against the introduction of new and
better varieties. 1t is not unusual to
see garden after garden in the same
neighborhood growing the same vari-
etieS, quite evidently handed from
neighbor to neighbor. The introduc-
ton of new varieties would mean much
in raising the general estimation of
the chrySanthemum as hardy garden
flower Each Autumn the United
States Department of Agriculture shows
many of the pest hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS and promising seedlings at its
chrysanti1ernum show The following
list presented in one OF. the prominent
garden magazines by Connecticut
gardener contains some of the choicest
varieties: Barbara Cumming, Gypsy
Girl, yellow Normandie, Normandie
Ruth Cumming, Alice Howell, Skibo,
Glory of Seven Oaks, White Doty and
Lillian Doty.
AS mentioned, cultural needs of the
outdoor chrysanthemum are relatively
simple. The clump should be divided
and reset each Spring. The soil
should be naturally well drained be-
cause the hibernating plants cannot
survive long continued submergence or
even partial submergence.
Quite large flowers may be secured
even in the smaller f1owered types by
disbudding all except the crown bud
of each stem. Such practice is not
necessary or even desirable except
where one desires blooms for ex-
hibition purposes.
Light bamboo stakes or wire rods
are necessary as supports for most
varieties and add much to the attrac-
tiveneSS of the beds.

resistance of various species Of shade
trees to smoke injury resulted in the
following list,s arranged in order OF de-
scending resistance: White oak, pin
oak, red oak, Norway maple, Oriental
plane black locust, elm, tulip poplar,
liquidamber, gingko, silver maple, sugar
maple and ash-leafed maple. Conifers
were notably less resistant than decidu-
Gus trees, the most resistant species, the
Savin juniper, being about equal to the
silver maple. In descending order are
the Savin juniper Austrian pine, arbor-
vitae retinospora and red cedar. 1t Is
advised that better results may be ex-
pected from strong, vigorous nursery
grown stock than from tender seedlings.
The smoke problem is fortunately, not
as serious in this locality as in Pitts
burgh, but nevertheless it is an increas-
ing problem here, with the rapidly en-
larging building program and the in
creasing use of the lower grades Of fuel.

CHURCH ADJO|NS
MOUNT OF OLIVES
Catholics Constructing House
of Worship in Garden
of GethSemane.

JERUSALEM O9.-In the Garden OF
Gethsemane at the foot of the Mount
of Olives, a Catholic church is rising
dedicated to the Heart of Jesus.
The edifice is being built over the
very grotto into which the Lord sent
his disciples while he himself knelt
down on a stone a short way off to say
his last prayer before they came to
lead him away.
The cavern has now been made into
the crypt, and over against the stone
the altar rises. Only a few years ago
the stone was freed Of lot of broken
mosaic-now covered over by slabs of
Bethlehem stone-among which it had
been buried.
BasiTiea Destroyed by Persians.
As early as the fourth century, in the
days of King TheodoSiuS, q baSilica
stood at this spot until, tllre centuries
later. it was destroyed by the Persians
on their invasion of the Holy Land.
Later it was rebuilt by. the crusaders,
but the latter did not find the exact
site and erected an altar in front of a
rock which now sjuts into the right
side wall Of the church. Formerly the
Patriarchs of Jerusalem were wont each
year to leave their residences on Palm
Sunday and proceed to the cavern,
there to remain the whole of Passion
week Not until Easter Sunday did
they return to celebrate divine service.
The new church building was COM
menced Immediately after the war. In
1919 the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris
laid the corner stone. A committee
headed by the Bishop of Toulouse
began to collect funds for the building
operations from among the Catholics
throughout the world. The costs have
been estimated as $450,000. The work
is now well advanced and in another
three years is to be completed.
Former Style Retained.
In reconstruction the style of the
old basilica was retained. In the in
terror, parts of the old mosaic flooring
have in several places been built in
while the new mosaic work is an exact
reproduction of the old, both as to
pattern and coloring. Like the orig
inal, it depicts the instruments of tor
ture, the cross, the thornS and the
rope. And the same pattern is re-
peated in the window decoratiorf and
that Of the vaulted ceiling. The 10
dome arches were contributed by IL
different countries-Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Mexico, italy, France, Spain, the
United States, Germany, Canada and
Belgium.

surer croppers in this vicinity than the
large seeded varieties, and his deduc-
tions were certainly borne out this
season. DR.. Shoemaker also places t:.e
pole Lima as a more certain producer
than the bush Lima, but this year
neither type has amounted to much.
The Lima bean is not quite so sus>
ceptible to the Mexican bean beetle as
is the ordinary string bean, and since
the pods are not eaten there can be no
danger Of spray residues. There is
really no reason to fear that the Lima
bean will not continue to hold its own
in this locality as highly important
vegetable.

THE LIMA BEAN

Rarely have local gardeners seen such
poor year for Lima beans as that
which. has just passed. Prices have
been extraordinarily high and quality
equally low. Some are inclined to place
the blame on the Mexican bean beetle,
but the real cause was apparently the
unfavorable weather, chiefly the heavy
rains during the period of flower set
ting. Both the pole Lima beans and
the bush type seem to have been a
failure this year.
Perhaps in no community in the
whole country is the Lima bean more
popular than right here in this vicinity,
because as rule Lima beans thrive
wonderfully we'll here and produce over
a long season. People have come to
rely upon them as a staple garden crCp
