GARDEN ITEMS

Low temperatures on October 10 and
IL caught many of the tender plants
in the lower elevations about the city
and suburbs, bringing to an end such
crops as the dahlia, saliva, nasturtium,
tomato, peppers and SQUASH It Is inter-
eSting to consider how few feet diff
ference in elevation, bringing with it
better air movement, will often save
plants from early frosts. This delayed
freezing is a partial compensation for
the poorer quality soil generally found
on sloping areas.
Tomato fruits, If untouched with
frost, may be ripened very nicely by
wrapping with paper and laying away
in a protected situation, but not in a
heated cellar or room. Generally only
those tomatoes that have reached a
whitish green or partly colored state
ripen with good flavor. A considerable
portion of the late offerings OF toma-
toes on our local markets is ripened off
the vines in the manner suggested.
Bean, tomato, squash and other
plants killed by frost should be gath
cred and burned as soon as dry in order
to destroy all possible insect and disease
life. The loss in organic matter may be

BULBS IN VARIETY

Too often in thinking of Autumn
bulbs the mind dwells on tulips, hya-
cinths. narcisSus and crocuses to the
exclusion of numerous other species
which deserve consideration. Snow
drops, Winter aconite, squills, glory of
the snow, grape hyacinths, Spring
snowflake and various wild forms OF
tulips, narcissus and crocus are among
the attractive bulbs that are not
generally used but have many good
qualities. SnowdropS are small and in
conspicuous but are nevertheless much
cherished by many as the first har-
binger of Spring. These do not flourish
in tranSplanting, but once established
endure almost perpetually even in sod.
Snowdrops look most attractive when
planted in group rather than singly.
Spring snowflake, Leucojum vernun,
appearing much like an enlarged snow
drop and Towering about month later,
Is worthy of a place in the flower
garden. Grape hyacinths or muscari,
In particular the variety known as
heavenly blue, make a wonderfully
beautiful show in early Spring, the blue
color being scarcely equaled in any
other flower The miniature species OF
tulip and narcissus find particular use
in the rock garden, but may be used
along the borders, between the shrubs
or wherever it suits the gardeners fancy
to have a show of color.
For many years DR.. Grif1ths OF the
Department of Agriculture has advo-
Gated the planting of these so-termed
lesser bulbs. That he practices what
he breaches may be easily verified by
passing his home in T'akoma Park in
early Spring. The lawns and borders
are simply a mass of color, maintained
for several weeks by wise selection OF
species.

ducing all the narcissus bulbs the coun-
try gets, and in the Pacific Northwest
the most difficult varieties, such as
fully grown. The quality of these bulbs
says DR.. Grifiths, is fully as good as
that of any bulbs ever imported.
"NarcisSus bulb growers are finding
that it is necessary to specialize on "a
few varieties which are adapted to the
particular locality. Thus many va
rieties of the Dutch group are no
longer attempted in the warmer Sec
lions because of the difficulty of sAe-
age. They make excellent growth and
are successfully handled in the cooler
Pacific Coast region.
''Proportionately greater progress is
being made with lilies than with any
other group, it is said. Their culture
is a more recent venture than the DAFT
fodil. Already we have some lilies that
are Enthusiastically American, and
foreign dealers are beginning to look to
Puget Sound for Nankeen stocks.
American growers will put on the mar
ket this year about 200 cases of Easter
lily bulbs. Three or four other lilies
are now produced in SUFFICIENT quantity
to supply the demand.
Tulips are grown in considerable
acreage with very good success. With
tulips and hyacinths, however, the
competition is so keen that growers arc
largely deferred from entering the BUSH
ness, although stocks of tulips especially
can be worked up faster than either
daffodils or lilies"

POTTING BULBS FOR
WINTER BLOOM

When planting the bulbs for next

very we'll lay aside few varieties for
pottinR for Winter bloom in the house.
Bulbs can make splendid showing in
the house, but are highly disappointing
unless properly grown. Not all garden
ers realize that the critical stage in
growing bulbs for forcing is the root
ing stage before the leaves and flower
buds appear. Bulbs should be potted
now in a soil containing leaf mold, sand
and rotted manure to make it fertile
and loose Shallow flower pots, called
bulb pans, are used by the florists, but
any type of receptacle may be utilized
that has holes in the bottom to give
drainage. One should not mix tulips.
hyacinths and crocus in the same pot
because Of unattractive appearance and
also because no two kinds will bloom
at the same time. The top of the bulbs
should be level with the top of the soil.
After potting and watering the pots
should be set away in a cool spot and
covered with sand or soil to keep them
moist A cold frame is an ideal environ
ment. Here the pots should be covered
with soil and leaves. Freezing is not
disastrous but is not necessary, but low
temperatures. 40 to SO degrees. are nee
essary to secure good roofing DR.. Crit
fiths in bulletin No. 797 of the Depart
ment of Agriculture states that bulbs
should have not less than eight weeks
for roofing and then be brought into
a cool cellar and warmed gradually.
The heated home is trying place at
the best for bulb plants, so 1t is advised
to place the flowers as far as possible
from radiators or other sources of heat.
Growing bulbs in water is a distinct
phase of bulb culture that will be dis
cussed separately.

covering of soil. One end OF the barrel
has a removable cover which Is further
protected with a protection of straw.
Such a storage chamber may be placed
in a we'll drained spot and be wholly
above ground. In such chamber as
this. carrots, parsnips, cabbages, kohl
rabbi and beets may be kept successfully
and at the same time be readily ac-
cessible when needed.
Parsnips are a peculiar crop in that
they do not become sweet and attrac-
tive until subjected to low temperature.
It used to be thought that freezing was
needed, but some work at the Maryland
Station by DR.. v. r. Bos-
we'll has shown that temperatures
slightly above 80 degrees are quite as
effective.
It may be seen that one storage
chamber is not suitable for all vege-
table crops. For example, while sugar
may be desirable in the parsnip and
carrot, it Is not in the white potato.

w HEREAS in the south, at the
w University of Illinois and on
the Pacific coast, spring practice is
about over, it is just getting under
way in most of our other institu-
tons. We had about 800 trot out
in uniforms at Notre Dame and one
of our faculty men said: Huh, it
looks to me like over emphasis"
Twenty years ago when our foot
ball squad numbered about twenty
five the criticism from the same
source was, Just a Roman holiday
only eleven men being trained"
Now, when we have 300 men out
for spring football and about three
times that number out for other
sports, the same criticism comes
from the same source, the criticism
Of over-emphaSiS. This chap says
spring football should be abolished.
And yet there are 10 students
watching, no hysteria about WIN
ming. no pep meetings, no long trips,
no publicity. no missing of classes,
no interference with 'udieS-juSt
300 boys. in their hours Of recrea-
ton in the afternoon, spending two
hours on the football field for their
play.
There is too much in this mod
ern game of football to be taught
in its entirety in the football sea-
son. 1t takes about six weeks of
spring practice to build founda-
ton. 1t interferes with no one eX-
cept the envious. Men who are out
for crew. baseball, track and ten
mis- are not allowed out for spring
football. But then, we always hear
the cry of over-emphasis about any
thing that is successful.
