the species name should be grandiflora

cause the flowers are small and con-

very attractive. being glossy and of a

STATIONARY SPRAY
PLANTS

1t may seem rather out of place in a
column devoted to home gardening to
discuss the use of such apparently elab-
crate equipment as stationary spray
plants. Of course, these will have no
interest to the small home owner with
one or two trees, but in the large subur-
ban garden, with its dozen or more fruit
trees. 1t is not so certain that this type
of spray plant may not have some ap-
peal. These plants are taking strong
hold among commercial growers be-
cause, once established, they save
money time and labor and greatly in
crease the chances for attractive, clean
fruit. These same points will appeal to
the suburban gardener who has strug-
gled manfully with hand pump, per-
haps only to see his work fail because
he could not get the spray on in time.
Commercial growers often use old
automobile engines as source of power.
Using such, the cost of a small plant
would not need to be excessive. The
convenience of having the spray where
it is needed and when it is needed, just
for the turn of valve, would be fine.
Insects and plant disease troubles would
be given a death blow with the use OF

GARDEN ITEMS

Beans of all kinds are sadly harassed
at this time by the Mexican bean beetle,
or rather beetles, because of the vast
numbers which concentrate In the bean
patch. The adult beetles look like large
yellow lady bugs or beetles and are
their wings. The young insects are Of
the same yellow color but of a different
shape, having been described by one
entomologist as miniature dragons.
Magnesium arsenate applied as pow
der or as liquid spray is the most sue
cessful material for combating this pest

come serious pest If allowed to go I'M
checked. With the aid of a web the
insect draws the surfaces of the leaves
together SO as to provide safe feeding
place for himself. Spraying with arse
nate Of lead or Paris green will readily
check the leaf roller, especially If APP
piled early, before many leaves are af-
fected.
Another pest showing up at this
time of year is the stalk borer, attack
ing such plants as the golden glow and
dahlias, which have large pithy stems.
Little can be done to check this insect,
because most often the injury is done
before noticed. If dahlia plant sud-

found that borer has eaten the in
terror of the stalk. In some cases the
insects may be found and killed, but
more often they have completed feed
ing and left the plant. If discovered
in time the insect may be killed by
drawing the blade of a penknife up
one side of the stalk.
The white cantaloupes now in market
under the name of Honey Dew and
Honey Ball are of the Southern Europe
type and are not adapted to grow
ing in this vicinity simply because the
period of hot weather is not long
enough to carry them through to per-
feet maturity. The name Honey Dew
was created by some enterprising
American scotsman who simply re-
named an old French variety, White
Antilles, with this more appealing title.

DAHLIAS FOR THE
HOME

Under the above caption, Farmers
Bulletin No. 1870, prepared by b. Y.
Morrison, the well known authority on
ornamental plants, discusses the cul-
ture. propagation, training and over
wintering of the dahlia. Just at this
season, the phases of dahlja growing
that are of interest are supplementary
fertilizing. pruning and disbuddlng.
Mr.. Morrison suggests that happy
medium be reached in fertlllzlng, TOO
much food leading to excessive growth
and few blooms end too little food TO
dWarfing. An application of straWy
manure in mid-August is recommended
as sufficient food for plants set in
fairly fertile garden soil. Up to the
time of applying the manure the soil
should be kept under good tillage. re-
living on this treatment rather than
watering to keep the plant growing
vigorously. Where bushy plants are
desired the top of the shoots should
be pinched out at an carly stage OF
growth to induce branching. II fewer
and larger flowers on long stems are
desired no pinching of the main stalk IS
done. In the latter case. plants should
be supported with stakes. using SOFT
Irvine or strips of cloth for tying. The
large exhibit blooms are produced on
non-pinched stalks from which the
first three or four pairs OF mower puds
below the terminal bud have been re.
moved. Disturbing is not essential
except where the grower desires extra
large individual blooms. Disbudding,
according to Mr.. Morrison, does not
reduce the ultimate number of blooms.
as it causes lower buds to develop that
normally would not do so. The ter
minal flower is the first to open ana
under ordinary conditions is the largest
and most perfect bloom on the stalk
and that is why fanciers encourage its
development by disbudding. The gar
dener who is simply looking for at
tractive plants with normal sized flow
ers does not have to practice disbud-
ding. but will have to feed his plants
and maintain good growing conditions
as suggested. Copies of Bulletin No.

THE HOME GARDENER
BLACK. SPOT OF
THE ROSE

No other trouble of the rose presents
such a trial to the home gardener and
the commercial gardener as the black
spot disease pictured in today's Illus
tration. 1t may be said in the begin
ming that no remedy is ever 100 per
cent successful, even il the hands OF
skilled rosarians, but it cannot ce de-
nie6 that certain remedies are generally
helpful. Miss Alma NJ Waterman.
author of Farmers Bulletin No. l547,
Rose Diseases and Their Control"
cites four measures, notably improve
ment of growing conditions. sanitation,
treatment with fungicides and the
growing Of resistant varieties, that are
helpful in controlling black spot.
AS unfavorable growing conditions.
Miss Waterman mentions too close
planting and growth under shade where
moisture is slow to evaporate from the
leaves One might very well add lack
of cultivation and fertilizing, conditions
which favor weak growth. b. SANTA
ton Miss Waterman refers to the COL
lection of diseased leaves and prunings
and their burning. Treatment with
fungicides includes the use of such ma
terials as Massey's dust mine parts CT
powdered sulphur and one part OF
arsenate of lead POWDER, bordeaux
mixture and ammoniacal copper car
Donate. Massey's dust has become a
favorite material for the small home
garden because it is easy to apply, US
ing a simple buster such as may be OBJ
tain at any seed store. The inclusion
of arsenate of lead in the Massey dust
checks various minor leaf and bud eat
ing insects.
Treatment for black spot is no task
for the sluggard, because, to be effec-
tive, it must begin with the appearance
of the young leaves in early Spring and
be repeated at intervals of 10 days to
two weeks until late Autumn. Even
with this constant attention, there is
no positive assurance of complete con-
troll, especially on the more susceptible
varieties.
The last of Miss Waterman's sug--
eested precautionary measures, that OF
the use of resistant varieties. is perhaps
the most important of all Certain
sturdy varieties, such as the two Ra-
dances, can flourish under black spot
conditions that will kill off weaker va
rieties. Some rose nurserymen have at
tempted to classify their roses i'll regard
to their comparative resistance to black
SPOT. but such a classification is not
always satisfactory because conditions
differ so widely in various sections OF
the country. Varieties resistant in one
locality need not necessarily be resistant
somewhere else. The Department OF
Agriculture maintains a fine rose test
garden at Arlington Farm. Va, Just
across the river, and is prepared to give
helpful suggestions on resistant va
rieties.
