regard to the type of material that
proves of greatest interest and service
in their various gardening enterprises
would be very welcome and useful in
carrying forward this policy of greater

The garden clubs deserve particular
consideration because of the unself1sh,
public spirited work that they are try

column has been of direct service to
several of the clubs in helping them to

, apparent that some of the clubs have
recognized the value of this service. 1t
Is our desire to make this feature more

possible only through assistance from
the clubs. At this time we would ap-
preciate receiving lists of officers for
the current year, notices of coming
meetings and items concerning proposed
activities AS programs are developed
we would appreciate receiving this in

WINTER DORMANCY

The physiology of sleep is not yet
well understood in human beings.
neither is it in plants. Practically all
plants in the temperate and cold zones
enter a period of rest or domancy with
the onset of Winter. This is the rea-
son why stems taken from a shrub in
late Fall md brought into a warm room
or greenhouse will not bloom. but will
remain inert Just what changes take
place in the plant during the Winter
that cause this rest period to be broken
are not understood, possibly complex
chemical changes involved with low
temperature or temperature changes.
A Canadian investigator working with
the lilac found that cuttings would
not bud out in early Winter, but in
late Winter would do so. He divided
the rest period for the lilac into two
divisions: Cd the natural rest period
and CD the forced rest period. In the
second case the plants were forced to
remain quiet by low temperature.
Many of our trees and shrubs now are
in that condition. only waiting for a
burst Of continued warmth to force
them into bloom and leaf. Obviously it

THE GARDEN CLUBS

The National Capital Federation of
Garden Clubs at the January meeting
held at the residence of Mrs. John
1hlder. 2811 P street. Georgetown, re-
elected the full slate of officers for the
current calendar year. These include
Miss Margaret c. Lancaster. 6615 Har-

Washington Grove. Md. secretary; Mrs.
Clara Mace. 1905 Thirty-seventh street

This action is highly commendable in
view OF the effective work performed by
the organization during the past year.
From humble beginning the fedora
ton has succeeded in gaining the
respect and support of a majority of the
local garden clubs. The federation has
big task on hand for this year, that OF
ton of garden clubs to be held in
Washington this Spring.
The Woodbridge Garden Club opened
the Spring garden season on Washing
tons Birthday, despite the thick blanket
of snow which impeded progress and
cut down attendance. A combined
pruning and spraying demonstration
was held at the home of Mrs. Charles
H. Otis, 1905 Lawrence street northeast.
Prof. w. r. Beattie of the Department
Of Agriculture demonstrated at first

spraying fruit trees, and Prof. F. l..

THE SOIL

The basis of success in gardening,
whether 1t Is only plant In pot or
plot of 100 acres or more, Is the nature
and condition of the soil. One cannot
expect successful culture of ordinary
garden plants in wet locations where
rain water stands for long while. 1t
is true that certain plants would thrive
in such spot. for the boys and swamps
are full of rank vegetation. But fruit
trees, vegetables and flowers require
we'll drained soil. On the farm wet
acres are often improved by laying tile
underground. carefully graded so that
water will drain. Such practice not
often is feasible in the city or suburbs,
where one is surrounded by neighbors.
In such locations about the only way
to improve drainage is to fill in de-
pressions with soil. using top soil If
available. In such a way water may
be made to run off promptly following
storms
Fertility of the soil is no less i'm
portant than drainage. Maintenance of
fertility in the garden is a serious prob
lem. In the woods the leaves and
stalks fall to the ground and decay.
adding a little more fertility. except
when fires burn through the forest and
destroy the all-important humus. In
stantly is gathering vegetables or flow
ers and burning the stalks and waste
materials. In constantly turning the
soil the gardener greatly stimulates the
nitrifying processes and the action of
bacteria that feed upon the organic
material Manure long was used to
offset this loss, and even in poor soil,
when applied in sufficient quantities,
increased the organic content sufficient
to maintain high grade of fertility.
Loss Of Organic Matter Cited.
With the practical passing of stable
manure from the garden program, the
gardener has been driven to the ut
most to find ways and means of MAIN
tanning fertility. Commercial fertilizers
help for a while. but unless organic
material such as manure is used, there
is continued loss of organic matter,
humus, leaving nothing but a tough,
unrelenting clay or barren sand that
cannot support vigorous plant growth.
The growing of clovers. cow peas,
vetches, rye and oats aids greatly In
overcoming the loss of manure from
the garden program. Even under such
a plan, the gardener cannot expect to
maintain the high production possible
with manure because part of the crop
year must be devoted to the soil i'm
provement crop. Spring crops may be
followed by COW peas, Summer crops
by crimson clover of vetch and late
crops by Winter rye.
Maintenance of fertility in the home
garden is a problem, the failure In
which has forced many home garden
er to become discouraged and give up
q favored pastime. With definite
program of fertilizer and soil crops or
green manures, as they commonly are
called, continued success is possible.

THE GARDEN
CATALOGUES

Readers who are thinking of planting
gardens this Spring now should be
studying the garden catalogues and
making up lists of desired plants. Prac-
tically all reliable seed houses rely on
the catalogue to bring in orders for seed
and plants. That competition is keen
is manifested in the alluring pamphlets
that now take the place of the printed
seed and plant lists of years ago. Just
how much the fancy illustrations in
crease sales is problematical. Surely
the veteran gardener pays little heed
to color or extravagant claims, well
knowing that the old, reliable varieties
generally need no such sales promotion
help. There is genuine pleasure for the
garden devotee in perusing this enter
tanning type of literature.
