form a cabinet in succession to that

his efforts to form a national union

THE DARWIN TULIPS.

The Darwins are but one group In the

and important group at that. because OF
the long stems, large flowers and long,

has been an unfavorable season for the
Darwins and other late tulips, Too
great heat all of sudden forced them
into bloom and greatly shortened the
period of Towering.
For brilliancy of display the Darwin
tulips as a group are hard to surpass,
especially in the dazzling RED ana scarlet
shades. yellow color is not founo IN
this group. and whites are very rare.
For yellow varieties the gardener Is

NITROGEN FOR
TOMATOES.

The actual fertilizer value of the
many new brands of nitrogen fertilizer
which have quite recently put in their
appearance on American markets Is not
yet wen established. There are. OF
course the rather extravagant claims of
the manufacturers. but Just what role
these new fertilizers are to play in
everyday gardening is still somewhat
problemaQcal.
An interesting side light on the situa-
ton is given in recently reported ex-
perimentS with tomatoes at the New
York Agricultural Experiment Station
in which the well known nitrate of soda
and ammonium Sulphate were compared
with calcium nitrate and urea as sup
Elemental treatments for tomatoes.

proximately two tons per acre. while
the two new fertilizers barely paid for
the material. Apparently it Is going to
nav the gardener to wait until the sta
tions have had time TO thoroughly test
the new materials before accepting them
as staple commodities.

Particular attention Is directed to the
large fiowered forms. Clematis jack
manii bears large, handsome flowers In
shades of blue and purple which, In IA
yorable situations, are produced over an
extended period This variety Is quite
frequently seen In local paintings
Clematis Henryi Is similar In plant and
form of blooms but bears flowers OF
pure white Nine. Edouard Andre has
dark red velvety flowers. Montana,
Wilsoni and Rubeils are still others OF
the large flowered forms.
The clematis may be propagated by
layering In the same manner as grapes
and other vines. A side branch Is taken
down from the trellis and buried with
the tip out of the soil. Roofing Is aided
by cutting part way through at one OF
the buried joints. New roots will be
found by the following Spring at
which time the young plant may be cut
away from the old and be transplanted
The old reliable Paniculata Clematis
is still a favorite, although much less
snowy than the large fiowered forms.
This Is a fine vine for covering fences
and arbors but has the fault of seeding
too freely, the young plants coming up
almost like weeds in the borders and

many varieties will bloom within SIX
weeks following planting. Cultural
needs are, according to Mrs. Fowler. rel
ativcly simple after the proper environ
n1ent has once been provided. In ce.
mcnt pools the roots should be planted
in boxes or tubs. while In natural pools
the roots may be simply planted In the
bottom soil, using stones to keep the
plant In place until rooted. The pool
should be exposed to direct sunlight for
a part of the day at least, as water lilies
will not bloom In the shade. Mosqui-
