THE HOMI GARDENER
PLANTS AT REST

The seed, the dormant plant and the
resting tuber have little attraction to
the average person as compared with
the active growing plants, but are, how
ever, no less important and truly even
more marvellous. without these benef1-
cent provisions of nature to carry plants
through the Winter. gardening in the
temperate zones would be an impoSsi-
bility. Each seed contains a rudimen-
fary plant and. in most cases, sufficient
food to supply the necessary substance
needed for early growth. What IS even
more wonderful is the fact that most
species of seeds are so constructed that
they cannot resume growth at once,
but must actually pass through a rest
period which prevents them from start
ing into growth in late Autumn or in
warm days of Winter. Many cultivated
plants have lost this resting quality,
but all native plants which propagate
themselves by seed possess it strongly.
In many trees. the resting period of the
buds passes in Midwinter or thereabout,
depending thereafter on actual cold to
hold the trees in check.
The underlying principles controlling
rest in seeds bulbs and plants are not
yet understood nor may they ever be
fully understood. Chemists have traced
certain changes of StarcheS to sugars
and observed increased enZymatic activ-
ity with the breaking OF the rest period
but have not been able to fathom the
underlying causes governing these
changes.
Fortunately for the home gardener
seed growing and tuber and root stor-
age has developed into a major indus
try. We can allow our-plants to die in
the Autumn with full confidence that
fresh new supplies may be easily OBJ
tanned in the Spring. In the old days,
each gardener had to carefully gather
seeds and cuttings and treasure them
through the Winter season.

SCALE INSECTS

Scale insects aro simply sucking in
Hects which very wisely provide them
iSelves with wax covering as q protec-
Jtion from weather and predacious in
Eects. Unfortunately for man, this
waxy scale protects the insect from
dormant period of Winter and early
Spring rs the only vulnerable season.
AT this time sprays Of suflcient corro-
'Sive or softening properties may be
safely applied to loosen the scale and
destroy the underlying insect or eggs,
las it may be.
There are literally hundreds of kinds
OF scale insects, but only few are

CLEANING UP

The time has come when most home
gardeners are preparing to lay away
their tools and call the gardening year
/ complete. There Is really little more
that can be done except to clear
up old plant rubbish. such as Towering
stems and weeds. Such material may
easily harbor insects and disease spores
and does not look we'll at the best.
Probably the best way to handle waste
plant material is to burn it, although
burying deeply in the soil will serve
the same purpose. There is much to
be said for clean up program, which
calls for the composing of leaves or
even their burning, where composing
is out of the question. Leaves do not
add fertility to the garden until they
are rotted and, in the meanwhile, are
even detrimental by making free use of
their decomposition. A clean garden can
be almost attractive even in Winter,
but a garden full of cornStalkS, bean
poles, dahlia stalks and the like is
Misunderstanding at its best. And when
the possibility of harboring pests over
Winter b considered, cleaning up is
both a sanitary and an eSthetic meas
ure.
Garden tools also deserve some at
tention. II cleaned Of soil and wiped
with an oiled cloth on metal surfaces,
tools will not rust even though stored
in q shed or other similar location. A
practical feature is that If put away
carefully, they will be on hand for
Spring USE The large purchase OF gar
den tools in the Spring may be traced,
in part at least, to O failure to care
for the old supply.

The doctor, professor in the

years of experimentation, on the
causes of neuroSis and insomnia and
sums it all up in a book published
today on Progressive Relaxation.
The trouble with most people, he
explains, is their desire to become
too comfortable and their worry
over whether the pillow is in the
right position of whether there is a
wrinkle in the sheet, keeps them
from relaxation and-sleep.
The doctors theory abandons the

hind the bed covers and let the legs
and arms fall where they may.
He explained that a muscle in the
eyebrow. for instance. drawn tense
through frowning, causes "jumpy

awake and sleep away.
That muscle must be smoothed
out through progressive relaxation
