PERENNIALS' SEED

Most every gardener has an intense
admiration for perennial flowers, such
as the Oriental peoples, gaIlardias, py-
rethrumS and larkspurs, but often fails
to include them in SUFFICIENT quantity
in his flower paintings because Of the
difficulty of obtaining vigorous, strong
plants for setting. There is more or
less of a tendency to turn to annual
flowers because of the quicker results,
vet the well balanced garden should
have both perennialS and ANIMALS. The
perennials follow the Dubious plants in
time of blooming and the ANIMALS COM
plete the picture by supplying bloom in
Midsummer and Autumn.
This Is the time of year that peren-
malls are maturing and dropping their
seed naturally, and 1t Is quite obviously
the desirable time for sowing seed. The
cold frame with its enriched soil Is an
ideal spot for sowing perennial seed,
since 1t Is easy to protect and care for
the seedlings in the restricted area Of
the frame, and there is no washing out
Of tiny plants in severe rains. If plant
ed in rows, wedding is not severe task,
as one can lay q board across the frame
and work to much greater advantage
than in the open ground. Perennials
grown from seed planted at this season
will in most cases be of sufi1cient size
to bloom next Spring, and may, with
the aid Of q little Winter covering, be
set in their permanent position in late
Autumn. A small investment in seed
will supply an abundance of plants at a
surprising saving as compared with the
purchase of nursery-grown plants.
Concerning seeding habits, certain

SWEET CHERRIES

Mention was made some weeks ago of
the dif1culty in establishing young
sweet cherry trees in the home garden,
with the recommendation that garden
ers try 1-year-old trees and Fall plant
ing. Part Of the trouble, apparently,
lies in the fact that sweet cherries push
forth their leaves before the roots have
q chance to become established, and as
q result the leaves are killed. With
Fall planting and 1-year trees, which
retain a larger percentage of roots in
ratio to top than do 2-yeaf trees, this
trouble should be averted. Recently
there was conducted an interesting test
at one Of the experiment stations, in
which sweet cherry trees were obtained
from several nursery firms and planted
out side by side. In certain lots all the
trees died, others were decidedly weak,
while q few lots grew vigorously. The
differences were ascribed to conditions
existing In the storage cellar where the
trees had passed the Winter. Obvi-
ously. II one had purchased the stock
in the Autumn and planted it out Of
doors, the storage factor would have
been removed from the problem.
Local gardeners should insist on late
Autumn delivery of cherry trees. There
Is no better fruit than the sweet cherry.
and 1t Is really unfortunate that there
are so many obstacles to successful Gull
ture Of this delicious fruit.

THE HOME GARDENER
THE REGAL LILY

OF the many lovely species Of flowers
that grace local gardens, none can sur
pasS the regal lily now In full bloom.
The long, trumpetlike blooms of white,
tinted on the outside with pink and on
the inside Of the throat with clear
lemon yellow, are truly magnificent
and 1t is little wonder that this spe-
cies has grown so popular in q very
short time. The regal lily was found
in a remote region Of China by Or.
e. H. Wilson, present director Of the
Arnold Arboretum, Boston, Mass.
Quickly accepted as a very desirable
acquisition, regal lilies are now to be
found in thousands OF American gar
dens where their beauty, hardness and
permanency insure them q continued
place in the good will Of the owners.
Regal lilies are readily propagated
from seed as well as division so that in
a comparatively short time vast stocks
have been developed by growers. with
the result that prices are now within
the reach Of any gardener.
Lily breeders have crossed the regal
presently we will have a lot of new lily
creations equal to the regal lily in some
respects and surprising it in others.
For instance the regal lily has the
habit Of emerging from the soil in very
early Spring before danger of frosts is
past. Some of the new types Of regal
like lilies will undoubtedly lose this
early sprouting habit. Were 1t not for
this one fault, the regal lily would
equal the sturdy tiger species in grow
ing qualities. No one could deny that
the regal Is much the more attractive
Of the two species.

SUMNER PRUNING

Plants that may just as well be
pruned in Winter should be conscien-
tiously left alone in the Summer. There
was q time when pruning of fruit trees
and grapeyines in Midsummer was ad-
vised, but now 1t Is realized that the
greater leaf surface left undisturbed,
the more food the plant can manufac-
ture with which to nourish iself and
its CROP A year or~two ago the New
York Experiment Station checked care
fully the effect of Summer pruning OF
grapes and found that not only was the
crop reduced by the treatment but that
the sugar content of the juice was also
less. 1t was thought at one time that
it was necessary to allow the sunlight to
play directly on the ripening grapes, but
obviously this Is not so. The sugars
are made in the leaves and II part Of
the leaves are cut away, sugar content
must be less. On the other hand,
pruning in the dormant season Is less
harmful and necessary in the care OF
mature plants. Generally speaking,
heavy pruning is not desirable at any
time. except to remove old, devitalized
wood or harmfully competing branches.

TWO NEW BOOKS

DR.. David Fairchild, we'll known to
many local gardeners because of his
long tenure as chief of the Office Of
foreign plant introduction, Department
Of Agriculture, and for his frequent lee
lures before the various garden clubs,
is author Of a very interesting and en-
PERTAINING book, Exploring for Plants, :"
which is an account of his varied adj
ventures in searching for new plants in
remote and civilized regions Of the Old
World. The book is profusely illus
trated, and contains many anecdotes
which make it interesting to the casual
reader as well Is the gardener and
plant lover.
Rock Garden and Alpine Plants" is
the title of a book fresh from the pen
Of Henry Correvon, authority on Alpine
plants. Discussing rather briefly the
use and culture of Alpine plants in gen.
eral and some associated species, such
as ferns, orchids and cacti, the author
presents in alphabetical arrangement
descriptive and cultural notes on q
great number of species and varieties
used in rock garden paintings, and
points out the desirable and undesirable
characteristics Of each.

EXTRA FERTILIZER
FOR THE GARDEN

The following item from the press
service of the Department OF Agricul-
ture presents interesting suggestions on
how to speed up growth in the garden:
IF the garden is not doing well, some
extra fertilization this Summer may
encourage the plants. A top dressing
with a complete mixed fertilizer, at
the rate Of two pounds per 100 square
feet, may be applied. A mixture con-
tanning per cent nitrogen. 10 per cent
phosphoric acid and per cent potash
Is suitable. Bone meal can be used at
the same rate, but Is slower in its action.
If the plants have o poor color they
may need nitrogen. This can be sup
piled by nitrate of soda or ammonium
sulphate at the rate of 0ne-fourth
pound to 100 square feet. To distrib-
ute this amount evenly 1t Is well to mix
the fertilizer with sand, ground phos-
phate rock or bone meal"
One might add that when the soil Is
very dry as it has been in many local
gardens, no fertilizer treatment will be
effective, since the fertilizers must be
dissolved in water before being taken
up by the plant. Lack of water in it
self may easily stunt the plants and
cause them to become yellow and
unthrifty.

THE GARDEN CLUBS

The enterprising Montgomery Subur.
ban Garden Club continued its ACTIVE
ties with visit by several of its MEM
bers on June 10 to the famous rose
nursery section near West Grove, Pa,
where literally hundreds of varieties of
bush and climbing roses were seen
growing at their best. The tour was
mace In 1928 and 1929 and proved
so delightful and valuable that a much
larger group undertook the trip this
year. The club now has 230 active
members. an increase OF 40 since May,
and putting the club in a fair way to
attain its goal of 800 members. which
would make 1t the largest garden club
IN this region. A regal lily bulb is
given to every member who brings in q
new candidate during June. The pur-
chasing committee, under the leader
ship Of H r. Watkins, has been very
active in stimulating sales of Holland
bulbs for Fall planting and in OBJ
tanning discounts from local garden
supply stores. Members taking advan-
tage OF these savings have easily off,
set the cost of their membership. A
course in identifying the home grounds
is being offered members provided SUM-
cient subscriptions to a we'll known
garden magazine are obtained to Sc
cure the privilege. The next meeting of
the club will be held July IL, 8 pm, at
the Somerset School.
The Hyattsville Horticultural Society
met Thursday evening, June rs, at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Mostyn,
628 Jackson avenue, Riverdale. Fol-
lowing an inspection of the hosts gar
den, there was held the customary
business meeting and discussion. Mem

Massey dust, nine parts very fine sui
phur and one part powdered arsenate Of
lead, is beneficial in combating holly
hook rust as well as rose black spot, for
which 1t was originally developed.
Much Of the so-called sweet corn now
making its appearance in the market Is
really nothing more than immature field
corn. Hence 1t is no wonder that the
quality Is very poor, especially when IL
Is considered that the ears were har-
vested several days before they reached
tn consumer and that In corn sugars
change to starch very rapidly Toma-
toes, on the other hand, have been UNI
usually good Of late, perhaps largely
because they are coming from fields
nearer TO the market and are gathered
at q more nearly mature stage than Is
true OF the Winter crop. Tomatoes do
not lose quality at the rapid rate typ
lcal OF sweet corn. There are over 100
varieties OF yellow sweet corn now Of
Tered for sale, as compared with none
some two decades ago. Golden Bantam
was one OF the first of the yellow corns
and became so exceedingly popular be-
cause OF its supreme quality that breed
erS set about at once to develop larger
cared varieties of yellow corn. Their
success speaks for itself. COMPARISONS
between some Of the finest yellow sweet
corns and the miserable material now
Delng offered for sale make one wonder
now the latter finds a sale.

GARDEN ITEMS

A rather simple but highly success
full device for distributing fertilizer
about newly set tomato plants Is that
Of an inverted metal cone with q han
die. The cone is placed over the plant
and the fertilizer thrown directing on
the cone, the slanting side of which
spread the fertilizer very evenly about
the plant and at the same time abso-
lutely prevent any direct contact be-
tween fertilizer and plant. Just what
use such an implement might find In
the home garden is not known, but 1t
Is true that literally hundreds Of acres
OF commercial tomatoes are fertilized
In this manner, one man placing the
cone and one distributing the fertilizer.
The perennial sweet pea has some of
the attributes Of the garden sweet pea,
namely, color and form of the flowers
but lacks in fragrance. The plants of
the perennial pea are, however, much
more vigorous, thriving In the heat of
Washington Summers under conditions
in which the garden varieties would
should find q ready use as Summer
cover for unsightly banks and fences,
producing q profusion Of blooms over a
long period Of Midsummer The roots
are perennial, but the tops die back
each Autumn, which in itself Is not
such bad fault, as it gives the gar
dener q chance to clean up the fence
row and regulate the spread Of the
plant.
For an attractive lily, the star lily,
Lilium concolor, is very pleasing COM
bining rather small size Of plant with
a brilliant crimson-scarlet flower. DR..
Bailey in his Encyclopedia Of Horti-
culture describes this species of as easy
culture, and certainly, because of It's
striking color, 1t deserves q trial In the
garden.
The break In the long period of
drought was certainly welcome to the
home gardener rs well as the CONNER
cial grower. Under the law of aver
have q fair supply of rainfall The
great inadequacy of hose and sprinklers
is manifested by the way plants respond
to real rainfall.
The reason why clay flower pots are
usually superior to paper pots Is ex-
planned in q recent bulletin from the
Pennsylvania Experiment Station. The
soil organisms which undertake to
break down the structure Of the paper
use nitrogen rs q food, and hence rob
the young plants in the pot Of their sus-
tenance. The harmful effect was easily
offset by simply watering the soil with
q weak solution of nitrate of soda.
1t Is not too late to establish vege-
table garden nor to set out annual
flowers such as salvias, petunias and
marigolds with every hope Of success.
A note In the June number of Wis
consin Horticulture suggests the posi-
biiity that rust-resistant hollyhock va
rieties may be possibility In the fu-
ture. This would be blessing to home
gardeners, among whom the hollyhock
Is popular because Of It's brilliant col
cred blooms, borne on sturdy, erect
stems. The hollyhock makes an ideal
background for annual NOWegs. Tlha

BIRTHS EXPENSIVE
Foreign-Born Spend More on Death
Than at Beginning of Life.

NEW YORK (N.A.N.A.). - Death
among certain Of the foreign born is
more expensive than among many old
line Americans. When baby dies It
is the custom. in some quarters, to
spend for a lavish funeral the money
that might have kept the child alive Il
spent in time. When a person of con-
sequence in the small community Is
taken to his last rest he goes with a
brass band and cars full of flowers.
With birth 1t is otherwise. Generally
speaking, the immigrant dwellers here
do not care to spend much, although
they look upon children as an invest
ment. But the bills for births run to
startling extremes among weaI.bP
Americans.
There is q hospital to which the
physicians Of the rich send their ma
ternity cases. The hospital costs are
$500 q week. It Is customary for 4.
woman to 60 there early and remain for
several weeks. Add doctors own bills
and special care and a baby can cost
up in the thousands. The cuisine in
this hospital is suEarb and there Is q
beauty parlor.
