Gardening in Washington

AND ITS ENVIRONS

we're completely unknown to the Euro
| peanS prior TO the settlement OF Amer
| lea. For moment consider the pres
ent day vegetable garden without the
white potato. the snap bean, the tomato,
| the squash. the sweet corn and the
sweet potato. There really wouldn't be
much left except cabbage, turnips, peas,
beets and other root crops
The debt that we owe the native In
dams for these plants and knowledge
of their culture is really immense. II
is really mystery as TO how the Indian.
without any knowledge of plant breeding,
as We commonly know 1t, was able to ac-
conplish such wonderful progress. but
it was probably the result of years OF
unconscious selection of the better
plants Many of these plants are now
so far removed from the wild that it Is
impossible to trace their origin. This
fact indicates that their culture has eX-
tended over long periods. Just how
great a part these native vegetables
have PLAYED in the development of our
country is question. but 1t Is certain
that they are now a tremendous factor
in our food supply.
Garden Items.
Tulips that are to be lifted and stored
should be handled now before the leaves
separate from the bulbs. 1t is often diff
ficult to locate the bulbs after the
leaves have dried up.
After lifting the bulbs should be al
lowed to dry and then stored in shallow
boxes in a dry. cool place, such as the
cellar. There Is no use in trying to
separate the clusters. since after few
weeks of drying they will break apart
without any trouble.
Cutting in the asparagus bed should
have ceased some time ago. It must be
borne in mind that the food of the
asparagus is. as in other plants. obtained
largely from the leaves. The yield and
life of the asparagus bed may be greatly
increased by liberal feeding at this time.
Manure is probably best of all. but any
good brand of complete fertilizer will
give good results. Big stalks and good
Yields in asparagus are dependent on
liberal feeding and preventing insects
from eating the foliage. Usually
spraying with arSenate of lead or with
paris green will remove the slugs which
often appear at this season.
The enormous growth that the COM
mon garden geranium will make IN re-
gions of no Winter is simply astounding.
Geraniums standing six and eight feet
tall and seeding so freely as to literally
become weeds is a marvellous sight to
one who has had to carefully nurse this
plant to secure worthwhile growth
Banks covered with masses Of geraniums
in fun bloom present striking, II not
beautiful sight.

to Miss Lancaster any suggestions they
may have for Fall activities.
The first Fall meeting of the feder-
alton is scheduled for September IA.
It will be held at the home Of Mrs,

The local chapter of the National
Fruit and Flower Guild has asked
garden club members for contributions
Of flowers which it can distribute to
hospitals and shut-ins.

special prices. Tulip. hyacinth and
crocus bulbs are being imported from
Holland and narcissus bulbs will be
obtained directly from the growers in

be effected In this way by dealing di-
rectly with the grower or exporter am

The Battery Park Garden Club held
It's Spring show on June IS in lieu OF
the monthly meeting. The display
was especially noteworthy for the artis-
tically arranged bouquets, which have
been such a desirable feature OF many
of the flower shows this year. Prof.

points to be observed in Judging flowers.
This Fall the Battery Park club will
hold flower show at which specimens
from childrens gardens will be shown.
Prizes will be awarded to encourage

The i lies betweeh>slattery and
Lomski. Jimmy. Of course, Is far the
better boxer. But Leo may get TO him
with the million punches he keeps
throwing every minute. Slattery has a
lot Of dynamite In his right hand. BIZ,
he doesn't hit rs hard as the Aberdeen
Tiger. I'll youch for that.
Sekyra a Conner.
A return bout between either Jimmy
or Leo. and myself should arouse lot
Of interest The previous fights were
thrilling enough TO warrant another as
soon as these boys have settled between
| them the question Of superiority.

He has fought twice In Madison Square
Garden. ou.flghting the l95-pound
southpaW. mnly Byrnc and giving
Yale Okun tasty trimming
He has done lot of fighting for a
voungster, and If seems u be pretty
ring-wise sort OF chap We NAV have
to watch out for him before very long
