THE GARDEN CLUBS

At the exhibition of the American
Dahlia Society, held September IS and
81 in Madison Square Garden, New
York City, special attention was paid
to the fact that 1928 is the three hun
dred and f1ftieth anniversary of the dis
covery of the dahlia. This fine Autumn
flower was found in the highlands OF
Mexico, and was named in honor OF
Andreas Dahl, a Swedish pupil of the
celebrated botanist Linnaeus. Despite
its relative antiquity, it is only in the
last few decades that the dahlia has
really come into its own, due to the
remarkable development of new varie-
ties by hybridization.
The American Rose Society held its
regular annual meeting at Kehnett
Square, Pa, on September 81. This
society, with its thousands of members
scattered throughout the United States
and Canada, is a vital force in rose i'm
provement in America The society S
publication, The American Rose An
nual, is alone worth the price of men,
bership, on account of it's authoritative
articles on new varieties, breeding, con-
troll of pests, etc.
Miss Laura Ann Wadsworth, preSi-
dent of the Community Garden Club of
Rockville, Md, reporting on the activi-
ties of the club, states that a regular
meeting was held on September 30 at
the home of Miss Eunice Bagg. The

| for home forcing during the late Winter
at very moderate cost. There are a
| few cardinal principles that go with
bulb forcing which must be observed.
| The ported bulbs must be kept moist
but not soaking; they must be stored in
a cool dark place until roots have
/ formed Placed outdoors in the cold
| frame and covered with soil or ashes,
nature will do the watering and keep
the bulbs cool.
The bulb contains stored foods Suffi-
cient to produce good flowers, but the
blooms are improved by potting in good
soil or in bulb fiber prepared just for
| this service. This fiber may be pur-
chased in convenient packages from the
| larger seed stores. Flower pots are very
satisfactory, although florists use what
are known as bulb pans. which are
merely low flower pots. The top of the
bulb should be just at the soil surface,
which itself should be a half inch be-
low the edge of the pot to allow for
watering. Small pans holding a single
bulb may be used or, better yet, a larger
pan holding several bulbs.
Naturally it will not do to mix tulips
and hyacinths or any such combination.
1t is best to use bulbs of a single variety
in each pot. Bulbs differ decidedly in
| their time of coming into bloom. The
| late Darwin tulips cannot be expected
! to bloom as early as the cottage tulips
and hyacinths. Danger from attempts
at too early forcing are obviated by
bringing the rooted plants into a cool,
we'll lighted room and holding them in
such a place until the flower spikes are
we'll developed. After reaching this
stage the plants may be placed wher-
ever desired.
Paper-white narcissus, the so-called
Chinese sacred lily, which is really a
narciSSus, and the hyacinth may be
forced in water. Hyacinths must be
placed SO that only the base of the
bulb touches the water. TALL narrow
vases may be purchased just for this
purpose. The glasses should then be
set away in cool, dark closet or in
the basement until filed with roots,
when they may be brought into a cool,
light room and finally placed wherever
needed. Paper-white narcissus is usu-
ally forced in shallow bowls in which
pebbles are placed to hold the bulbs in
position Here again only the bottom
of the bulb should actually be in the
water. The paper-white narcissuS
should also be put away in a cool, dark
place to form roots. The Chinese sacred
lily should be handled like the mar
cisSus.
The paper-white narcissus does not
thrive out of doors here The leaves
and flowers develop in late Autumn,
and, of course, are cut down by freeZ-
ing weather. The plants soon weaken
under this punishment and die.

PEONY PLANTING !.

Autumn planting is essential to sue
cessful peony growing, since the growth
is resumed so early in the Spring that
moving at that time is bound to prove
injurious IN fact the peony does not
lend itself to moving at any time, so
that peony growers favor leaving the
plants in position for several years. The
peony enjoys full sunlight but does
fairly well in partial shade. Tree roots,
however, are injurious because of their
strenuous competition for food and
water. The peony cannot endure stand
ing in water, SO should be placed in a
we'll drained situation. 1t is well to re-
member that the peony is large,
strong grower and needs plenty of plant
food. Bone meal is an excellent ferti-
lizer. but should not be used in direct
contact with the roots.
In moving peonieS or planting new
roots, the hole should be dug out con-
siderably deeper and broader than
actually needed and rich, fertile soil
used to replace that removedA The eye
or bud of. the peony should not be
planted deeper than two inches, since
deep planting is a frequent cause of
woodworking or blindness. In replac-
ing the soil it should be worked in about
the roots with some care so that all
creviceS are filed
Quoting from Mrs Edward Harding's
''The Book Of the Peony:" 81. Use only
well rotted manure or compost. Q
Mix the manure or compost and the
soil with great thoroughness g. Do
not put manure in layers in any part of
the trench or hole Solid manure is
dangerous if in direct contact with the
roots, as it is apt to rot or burn them
- A ~ - -,
too great portion of manure with the
soil. One of the most successful grow
erS in the country has found in his
many years of experience that it is
possible to make the soil too rich to
obtain the best results with peonies.
s. DO not mulch peonies with manure
even though it is well rotted Mulching
with manure is not necessary and is a
distinct risk

PEONY VARIETIES

Some of our readers may be interested
In the following selections of peony
varieties suggested by DR.. Earle B.
White of .Kensington, Md. an ardent
peony fan and keen student of va
rieties: l. A dozen aristocfats-White:
Mrs. Edward Harding lie Cygne, Fran
ces Willard, Kelway's Glorious Pink
Walter FaXon, Martha Bullock, Sarah
Bernhard and Therese. Red: Phil
lippe Rivoire,. Richard Carvel, Karl
Rosefield and Longfellow. 2. A dozen
of medium price-White: Festiva Max
ina. Nine Emile Lemoine, Frances
Willard and Baroness Schroeder. Pink:
Monsieur Jules Ellie, Refine HortenSe,
Sarah Bernhard and Claire Dubois.
Red: Adolphe Rousseau. M. Martin Ca
houzac, Karl Rosefield and Felix
Grouse. 3. A dozen of standard values
White: Duchesse de Nemours, FeStiva
Maxima, Mime de. Verneville and Ava
lanche. Pink: Edulis Superba, Floral
Treasure, Mime. Ducal and Claire Du-
bois. Red: Midnight, Felix Grouse,
AuguStin de Hour and Delachei.
These lists represent excellent peonies
in all cases, but are arranged in this
way to accommodate desired expendi-
lures. The peony fan may be willing
to purchase the first selection, while
the everyday gardener, simply desiring
peonieS for the home, would naturally
prefer the second or third selections.
Autumn is the time to set out peony
roots because they are nearly dormant
at this season and because they are
about the first of the perennials to
start. growth in the Spring Peonies
need the late Autumn and Winter to
become established.
DR.. White, by the way, has proved
very popular speaker at several of
the garden clubs. Last Autumn he ad-
dressed the Takoma Horticultural and
this year has addressed at least two

RHINE EVACUATION FORECAST.
German Indemnities Would Figure in
Negotiations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, September Great impor-
tance is attached in France to the con-
versation at Geneva yesterday between
Aristide BRAND, foreign minister, and
Chancellor Mueller of Germany. The
conversation is looked upon as the start
of prolonged negotiations in which
Great Britain, Belgium and Italy must
take part as allies of France.
These negotiations are to settle two
vital questions, the evacuation of the
Rhineland and fixing of the final terms
of the war indemnities to be paid by
Germany.
The French official mind associates
these with the debt of this country to
the United States. The view is that
Washington and Paris agreed upon the
principle Of capacity to pay when they
entered upon the Mellon -Berenger
agreement under which the original
French debt was funded at $4,O25,-
100000 in principal and interest. 1t
is pointed out that Frances capacity
to pay is partly determined by the sums
which she Is to receive from Germany.
Germany in turn has indicated that
her capacity to pay indemnities is
partly dependent upon free hand in
the Rhineland.
The French Parliament has not ap-
proved the debt settlement with the
United States and in view of the rea-
soning in respect to the German pay
ments it is believed here that ratifica-
tion of the Mellon -Berenger agreement
will be largely dependent upon the out
come of the negotiations between Ger
many and the Allies.

GENEVA, September League of
Nations circles are confused and some
what alarmed at press reports from
Washington stating that Charles Evans
Hughes is preparing to lend active po-
litical support to Herbert Hoover.
Mr. Hughes is the popular favorite
in the election to fill the vacancy of
Judge of the International Court, which
will be held tomorrow, and Is under
stood to have signified he will accept
in case he is elected. However, the
League delegates mad thought that in
supporting Mr.. Hughes they were sup
porting man who had retired from
active politics.
Fears are expressed that II Mr..
Hughes just now begins to work for
Mr. Hoover. and at the same time the
League elects him judge of the World
Court. the League may be placed un-
Willingly in the position of seeming to
play a prejudiced role in American
party politics. Several delegates have
requested information on the subject
from the League secretariat. The cleo
ton of Mr.. Hughes seems, neverthe-
less, to be completely assured.
