the Union cause with the result that he held
over the cabinet Portfolio for a brief period

became Judge Advocate General of the Army

With the converting of the court to try the
Lincoln conspirators, Gen. Holt sat as pre-

Surratt and the others Holt became the center
of a particularly bitter fight. President john
son charged that when Holt laid before him for
approval the judgment of the military COM
mission condemnng the conspirators he with
held petition for clemency for Mrs Surratt,
signed by five members of the tribunal. Holt
stanchly denied this and was supported in the
denial by Secretary of State Seward and Sec
rotary of War Stanton. Holt rode out the
storm, and then in 1875 resigned.

THE HOME GARDENER
THE HARDY CHRYS-
ANTHEMUM.

The hardy chrysanthemum is gen.
eral favorite in the late Autumn garden,
earning its place by its ability to with
stand frosts and because of the great
diversity and beauty of its numerous
varieties. Too often 1t seems, however.
that the home gardener is missing
much of the possibilities in chrysanthe-
NUNS by sticking too close to the older
types and neglecting the newer and i'm
proved varieties. Great strides have
been made in the improvement of this
plant in recent years. AS with the
dahua, progress has been so rapid that
1t is quite impossible to keep up to the
moment in varieties, but it is possible
to keep nearer than docs the average
gardener.
Farmers Bulletin No. 1911. entitled
"Chrysanthemums for the Home" was
prepared by B. Y Morrison and fully
answers questions that may arise in the
gardeners mind as to methods of cul-
ture. propagation, spraying. etc. Mr.
Morrison points out the differences be-
tween the large Powered greenhouse
varieties and those adapted to outdoor
culture. It is surprising, however.
what fine blooms may be grown out Of
doors is disbudding is praticed and
plants are fortified and sprayed.
DR.. Bailey in his Cyclopedia OF Horti-
culture shows how one gardener grew
a bed of large-fowered chrySanthe-
NUNS adjacent to his house with the
aid of a canvaS-cCYered frame to pro-
tect the plants from storms. Such
painstaking procedure is not at all neces-
essary. The average grower enjoys the
profusion of smaller blooms quite as
we'll as the large single flowers. and
these may be obtained with ordinary
care right in the open garden.

DAHLIA STORAGE.

A new method of storing dahlia
roots, at least new to the writer, was
suggested in a recent conversation with
President L. M. Clarke of the Wood
ridge Garden Club. Noting some soft
rot in his dahlia clumps in early Win
ter, Mr.. Clarke carefully separated the
clumps into single tuber divisions with
a portion of the old stem attached, and
after cutting out all diseased tissue
labeled the varieties carefully and
placed the tubers in slightly dampened
peat moss. The roots kept in first
class shape until planting season.
The procedure was so successful that
Mr. Clarke has handled all of his
dahlias In this manner this Autumn
The buds, according to Mr.. Clarke, are
more easily seen at this time than after
the tubers dry out somewhat-that is,
until they begin to grow again in the
Spring. This method of Autumn cut
ting greatly reduced the total bulk Of
roots and was altogether so satisfac
tory that it would warrant trial by
other gardeners. Too much moisture
in the peat moss would probable lead
to trouble, either causing rotting or too
early growth in Spring.

lowing the business session there was
the usual exchange OF seeds and plants,
followed in turn by delightful social
hour held amid a setting OF beautiful
Autumn foliage and Halloween decora-
lions. The next meeting of the club
will be held at the Montgomery County

This will be a special meeting open to

Spring Blooming Bulbs, Their Fall
Planting and Care" was the subject
discussed by Edwin c. Powell Of the
United States Department OF Agricul-.
ture at the meeting of the Montgomery
Suburban Garden Club held last eve
ming at the Somerset School. Mr..
Powell is an enthusiastic and we'll in
formed grower of bulbs, large qlIsilti-
ties of which may be seen in bloom
about his home, in Silver Spring, Md, in
early Spring. Following the lecture.
consideration was given to the proposed
amendment to the clubs constitution to
include the community OF Kenwood
within the territory of active member
ship participation. President Aubrey
B. Carter points out that the club. al
though organized only last May, is sec
ond largest among the 20-odd garden
clubs of the Washington area and bids
fair to assume leadership in this re-
spect. The club is actively participant
ing In various civic Improvements In its
area and promises to become potent
factor in furthering the development
of this beautiful section.
President l.. NJ Clarke. of the Wood
ridge Garden Club, announces that the
election of officers for the ensuing year
will take place at the meeting OF the
club to be held Monday evening at the
Sherwood Presbyterian Church Hall. No
invited speaker will be present, the
meeting being given over to social
hour. with refreshments following the
transaction of regular business.

Motor terminals built into office
structures offer a solution of the traffic
problem in the business districts OF
cities, DR.. Miller McClintock, director
of the Erskine bureau for street traf1c
research of Harvard University, de-
clares in a report to the American In
stitute of Architects. This tendency. he
asserts, is so logical as to be inevitable.
"Vehicrllar traffic is increasing in i'm
portance," says DR.. McClintock. THE
Is 900 900 registration point OF automo-
bilists has Just been passed in the
United States. The next Is or 80 years
should show something like doubling
of automobiles in use in the United
States. Assuredly If our present condi-
ton of prosperity continues this is not
an unreasonable expectation.
I'm typical cities motor cars carry
into central districts from IS to rs per
cent of the entire number of people
who come into the downtown area.
The ability, therefore, of the ONCE
building structure to provide an attrac-
ton and an accessibility for the use of
those who demand that their transpor-
tstion be by motor cars is an important
one.
Parking facilities are quite as i'm
portant as are thoroughfares. The CEN
trail district garage offers a solution.
There appears to be a definite antipa-
thy on the part of coming officials, on
the part of many builders. and on the
part of many merchants who own prop
critics in central districts against the
garage. In other words, many of them
think Of the garage as the converted
livery stable. which was, of course, an
undesirable neighbor.
"A modern garage can be constructed
in such way that it is not only a very
presentable neighbor from the stand
point of artistic appearance but like
wise very desirable neighbor from the
standpoint Of the operations which are
carried on within it.
THE tendency to incorporate within

GARDEN ITEMS.

Does it pay to try to keep over such
plants as geraniums, heliotropes and
vincas when one has limited storage
facilities? Especially in view Of the
fact that there are usually plenty of
nicely grown. we'll rooted plants to be
had in the Spring for moderate prices
The answer to the question probably
rests with each individual, Those who
like to handle plants and enjoy seeing
them grow will probably continue to
keep stock through the Winter even
under difficulties and in face Of the
realization that new plants may be cas-
lily obtained in the Spring.
The abundance of rains since the
