THE NARCISSUS

From the viewpoint of the ordinary
every day home gardener, the narcissus
is hard to equal as an early Spring
flower. Unlike the tulip. it does not
require lifting every year, but will
flourish for four or five years or even
more until overcrowded. Niece do not
eat the bulbs as they do lilies and
tulips. Culture is a benefit to the
narcisSus, but it is not at all necessary
with many varieties such as Emperor
and Barri Conspicuous, which are able
to live in sod without any care.
The range of Towering season is ordi-
narily five or six weeks in length from
golden spur to the old fashioned
pheasant eye poeticus. There is a
world of new and better varieties that
should come to the home gardeners
attention as soon as possible. Untor-
tunately, many of these are rather
costly, due in part to the quarantine
against European grown bulbs. Ameri-
can growers and European growers
operating in America are working hard
to fill the gap and 1t won't be many
years before these new varieties will be
within the reach of all. Croesus, ber-
nadine, bonfire, with its deep red cup,
beersheba, the pure white trumpet
and the poetaz hybrids, such as
laurenS koSter and elVira, with their
several blooms on one stem, all de-
serve places in the Spring flower gar
den and with their compeers are GER
tain to replace in time the more
common forms of today. 1t is doubtful
If size alone will bring permanent popu-
larity 1t is not possible to believe
that Van Waverens giant and olympia
can hold public favor when the new
varieties such as croesus and become
available and better known.

GARDEN ITEMS

Phlox subulata, now In bloom, is a
wonderfully attractive low growing
edging plant or for growing in the
rockery. This desirable plant, COM
monty known as Ground Pink or
Moss Pink, occurs In many colors from
pure white to blue and Is very use
full wherever one wsihes to cover the
soil with mat of bloom and attrac-
tive foliage.
The hot weather of a past week or
two was not at all desirable from the
gardeners standpoint. When flowers
like narcissus, for example, which are
supposed to last for several weeks. all
come out in one burst of bloom, Is is
real disappointing. Furthermore, the
individual blooms soon wither under the
unusual heat and at their best are not
equal in color or size to those produced
in normal years.
What appears to be Winter injury In
the red raspberry plantation may very
well be the results of weakening by
the MOSAIC disease. When the red
raspberry becomes badly infected, about
the only real remedy Is to dig out and
burn the plants and start again next
year with fresh stock bought from
some reliable dealer. A card to the
Department of Agriculture or TO the
State Experiment Station will bring
the information desired,
How many of the home gardeners
realize that there is pink lowered
dogwood, differing only in color from
the native form? This is very at
tractive plant, deserving consideration
on the large home place.
Aphids are now present on the roses,
the last pest to leave in Autumn and
the first to return in the Spring. A
little nicotine sulphate in a weak So
luton of soapsuds will clear the foil
age Of aphidS.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

The committee Of the American Hor-
ticultural Society in charge of the
Forthcoming national peony show has
certainly considered the welfare OF the
amateur gardener. Instead OF forcing
him TO compete with commercial grow
ers and specialists the committee has
provided for three general groups-O
The professional, for commercial and
professional gardeners; (2) the advanced
amateur, for the peony fan with several
hundred plants, and go the amateur,
for the everyday home gardener. This
arrangement eases the way for the gar
dener with one or more plants. and
since liberal cash prizes are to be
awarded in all three groups, there Is
plenty of encouragement to enter. The
National Horticultural Magazine for
April. published by the American Horti-
cultural Society. contains a timely ar
ticle on the growing and care of peony
flowers for exhibition purposes. The
