VARIABLE TOMATO

Although the general impression that
the word tomato conveys to the average
persons mind is that of large red
gIobular fruit, this is by no means the
complete story. Beginning with cur
rant tomato, whose fruits average less
than one-half inch in diameter and are
borne on stems like currants, the di-
verse tomato family contains cherry,
pear, plum and peach like forms in
red and yellow variations of the COM
mon garden form. So different are
these several tomatoes that botanists
finding them for the first time might
very easily describe them AS distinct
species. Some of these tomatoes are
very ornamental and were in fact used
by the early colonistS in the flower gar
den as decorative plants long before
they were eaten. The tomato was orig
inally believed to be harmful, but is now
accepted universally as one OF our most
important vegetables
This year has been decidedly unfa-
vorable to the tomato as the succulent
foliage and fruits demand large guam
titles of water. AS a result many to-
matoes are ripening with black bios
som ends, which condition renders
them worthless. This blackening Is not
a disease, in the sense of being caused
by any fungus or bacterium. but is as
ISOLATED with an unbalanced nutritive
condition within the plant. 1t is not
restricted to dry periods, but may ap-
pear to some extent under apparently
favorable conditions. Hot weather in
itself would prove no handicap to the
tomato, since this vegetable is essen
TALLY a hot-weather plant and would
thrive under present temperature were
there an abundance of water in the soil

The gladiolus has become exceedingly
popular in recent years and very right
fully SO because 1t Is truly one OF the
best, if not the one best, flower for the
Summer garden. Culture Is 30 simple
that any one can succeed under
ordinary conditions; the flowers are
wonderfully beautiful and attractive ana
occur in so many colors and forms tnaI
the most fastidious may suit his fancy.
BY timing paintings judiciously flowers
may be had from July to frost, altnougn
Midsummer Is really gladiolus time.
The gladiolus family is rich in species.
Bailey, in his cyclopedia Of horticulture.
states that there are $50 or more, OF
which about 100 are in South Africa.
The South African species have sup
piled most OF the cultivated varieties,
although gardeners through the art OF
breeding have greatly modified ana I'M
proved the original wild material.
America, that Is Canada and the United
states, has led the world in the i'm
provement of the gladioluS. Literally
hundreds of new varieties are produced
each year, for the most part to fall by
the wayside, but occasionally q really
superior variety is forthcoming.
Perhaps the best way to grow the
flower Is in garden style, as shown In
todays picture. The gladiolus looks
best and thrives best in row
paintings. The plants tend to sup
port one another and more or less to
Shade the soil when thus planted and
if supports are needed these may be
more easily provided.
The gladiolus is easily stored during
Winter. being much easier to handle
than the dahlia in this respect. With
favorable weather the natural increase
of bulbs or corms is quite rapid. so
that one can quickly build up good
sized stock from a small start. If the
gardener saves the little bulblets that
form about the base of the larger corms,
increase may be greatly speeded up.

rieties produced finer melons In poor
year than did inferior varieties In
good year. This must be poor year
generally. the combined heat and
drought probably forcing an early IN
satisfactory maturity.
Common salt is not often considered
a fertilizer, yet has given gooti results
In New Jersey with asparagus wnen USED
in moderate amounts. The asparagus
is presumably a native of European sea
shores and probably in its long period
of existence built up a capacity for an
unusually high utilization of salt. Some
suggestion has been made that salt
renders some other elements more avail
able to the plant. Obviously this Is no
time for experimenting with salt on any
plant.
The gardener has fine opportunity
this season to observe the drought re-
sisting qualities of the various plants
grown in his garden. In general the
more tropical the nature of the plant
the better 1t has withstood the I'M
favorable environment. In the yege-
table garden the sweet potato Is good
example of a resistant plant. Fortu-
nately conditions such as now exist may
never occur again in present lifetimes.
If drought was a regular occurrence
water supplies adequate to provide irri-
cation would be logical development.
If one were to PROFOUND the. question
concerning the most important sub
stance in plant growing, every suburban
gardener might be expected to answer
water, and quite rightfully so. Most
living plants, especially ANIMALS, are
normally composed largely of water.
Water serves as medium for conduct
ing the soil nutrients to the plant and
for cooling the plant by evaporation
from the leaves. The whole process of
growth is practically stopped In the
absence of adequate moisture.
The trumpet vine or tumpet creeper,
with its snowy orange-red blooms, may
now be seen along the fence rows and
in neglected fields of nearby Maryland
and Virginia. This plant is often
brought into cultivation and Is highly
effective because of its strong climbing
habits for covering stone walls. Ac-
cording to Bailey's Cyclopedia, there
are scarlet and yellow Powered varia-
tons of this species, but the plants OBJ
served in the wild appear to be uni
forrnly of the orange-red type. For a
long period the plant was designated by
the botanical name of Bignonia radi-
cans, but is designated by Bailey under
the less distinctive name Campsis radi-
cans.

A CLOCK GARDEN

One of the garden trade papers con-
tains brief account OF a unique gar
den, designated as clock garden, laid
out In the form of a clock face, with
the IL hours represented by IL different
species, the flowers of which open
rather consistently at the several hours
of the day. Beginning at in the

with no suggestion given for pm. The
bed has a border of small bedding
plants. Needless to say, such a plant
ing should rrove very attractive, even
though its actual value as timepiece
might be expected to be rather limited
The difficulty in establishing such a
garden would be In obtaining seed OF
the correct species and in growing the
young plants. This should prove, how
ever, no impossible task for the patient
home gardener.

who grew it? The stock in any whole
sale seed house Is likely to represent an
assembly of items from many parts OF
the United States and from foreign
countries as well, says the United states
Department of Agriculture.
Temperature, humidity, soil and
water supply naturally have an i'm
portant effect on the development OF
the seed crop. Some plants require
specialized skill and experience in the
management of the seeding plants In
other cases plentiful supply of cheap
labor determines the production area.
Transportation expense, particularly II
it Is high, may favor seed production
In a certain area. Plant pests and crop
diseases may play an important part
in ending seed production in one area
and stimulating it In another.
"Of the common garden seeds, the
different varieties of peas form the most
important single item. Since 1860 pro-
duction has moved Westward from New
York to Idaho, Montana and California
Irrigation Is an aid to pea-seed growers
but the shift has come principally be-
cause growing peas for canning and
trucking is usually more profitable than
growing for seed. and this has led the
pea-growing sections to depend for seed
on areas where the canning and truck
ing business Is unimportant.
"Similar factors have Influenced the
Westward march of bean-seed growing.
Nebraska is a principal producer of
sweet corn seed. Rocky Ford, Colo, is
the most important production area for
muskmelon and cucumber seed. Colo
RADIO also produces watermelon seed, as
do Florida and Texas. A large part OF
the SQUASH and pumpkin seed Somes
from the plains of Kansas and
Nebraska.
Seed of the commonest kitchen gar
den vegetables, radish and lettuce,
comes almost entirely from California,
as does the bulk of the American pro-
duction of onion and turnip seed. Some
turnip seed comes from abroad when
prices are right, and most of the Ber-
muda onion seed comes from the Can
airy Islands.
Denmark supplies most of our cauli-
flower seed and considerable cabbage
seed, and foreign supplies Of beet, spin
ach Summer radish, celery and carrot
are In sharp and often successful COM
petition with the American supply"

SMALL FOREST FIRES
MENACING TIMBER
Dangerous Situation Seen Unless
Rain Relieves Drought in Wis
consin Woodlands.

MILWAUKEE. Wis, August (41.-
The red glow of forest fires fiared on
the horizon today to add new menace
to the Midwestern drought.
In scattered sections of the Great
Lakes area, small sections of woodland
were ablaze. In themselves, they rep
resented no great danger, but Federal
and State forestry officials foresaw a
grave danger unless rain comes soon.
Extremely dangerous" was how S.
e. Schoonover, acting regional forester
here, characterized conditions. While
there have been light showers, the rain
fall has not been sufficiently heavy to
make much Roadway in extinguishing
fires or giving relief"
Unless the public co-operates fully,
he indicated, It might be necessary to
close National forests to travel, except
by individual permit. The present heat
is making the forests as dry as finder.
Scores of small fires have been re-
ported in Northern Wisconsin and in
the upper peninsula of Michigan.
