of Agriculture, may interest gardeners
who would like to grow lilies
Most lilies seed abundantly and may
be reproduced from seed if the grower
has the knowledge of their habits after
the seed is planted. The most impor-
tant matter, says DR.. David Grifflths,
bulb specialist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is to know
how long it takes the seed to come up.
BY this is meant. not the actual num-
Der of days required for termination to
take place, for that will vary with the
temperature. The question is much
deeper than this. The seed of some
lilies has the habit, under some cir
cumStances at least, of waiting until
the second year before top growth takes
place Often termination takes place
with no growth above the surface
THUS the gardener would need pa
thence to wait until the second year
before giving up his seed bed as a
failure. There is reason to expect a
crop finally If the seed is sown under
favorable conditions, for DR. Griffiths
has found that with few exceptions the
lily seeds are fertile and grow readily.
Considerable differences appear in
the time elapsing between the planting
or propagation of the lilies and the sea-
son of Towering. Some varieties flower
the second year under favorable condl-
lions Some go three or four years
without towering Usually the plants
do not reach maturity and their max
imum floral display until from four
to six years of age.
For the private gardener the natural
division of the bulb at maturity is the
easiest method of reproduction, DR..
Grifiths says. In areas. where a lily
variety is hardy they may be left in the
ground and lifted and divided at inter-
walls of four or five years"

GARDEN ITEMS

The ideal time to prune the ram
pant climbing roses, such as Thousand
Beauties, Dorothy Perkins and Ex-
celsa, is after blooming has ceased.
At this stage vigorous young canes
push up from the roots and will quick
ly replace the old branches. How
ever, most of the ramblers are we'll
fortified with thorns and one does
well to have a heavy pair of old gloves
and well protected arms when under
taking the task. Varieties such as
Paul's Scarlet Climber, which is really
a Semi-climber and rather slow
grower, will need little more during the
first few years of its life than a thin
ming out of some of the older flower
ing shoots Any one. interested in the
pruning of the rose would do we'll to
send to the Department of Agriculture
for copy of Farmer Bulletin No. $50,
Roses for the Home" written by the
well known gardener, F. L. milford.
Setting out little annual and peren-
NAL plants in dry soil is quite unwise,
provided one is not prepared to water
the soil thoroughly afterward All in
all, this has not been an easy Spring
for the gardener Drought and I'M
SeaSonable temperatures have been I'M
usually conspicuous. Yet old-estab-
liShed plants have as yet suffered but
little and have yielded some splendid
crops of blooms.
Plenty of good flower seed is lost
by simply covering too deeply with
soil. In the greenhouses many of the
fine seeded species are simply covered
with a little sand or barely pressed
into the surface. Too often in the
garden seeds are covered rather deeply
in an attempt to bring them in con-
tact with the moist soil. A sprinkling
of leaf mold or pest moss will hold
the dampness and help some of the
small seeded species to terminate.

CHERRY CULTURE

With cherries beginning to show color
on some of the early varieties, interest
In this superb fruit begins to awaken
not only in the minds of the home
gardener who might have space for
tree or two, but also in the minds OF
his featnered friends, the birds. Just
why there are relatively so few cherry
trees in this locality is difficult to ex-
plain because there is sufficient evidence
that trees of both the sour and sweet
varieties thrive quite well when once
established. Sweet cherry growing has
certain difficulties that perhaps have
proved obstacles to success. In the flrSt
place. the young trees are rather Oil:
ficult to get established. The usuai
nursery tree is two years old from quo
and undoubtedly better success would
result with younger trees that coulo
withstand transplanting better. Most
trees are set out in late Spring and
enter the Summer with insufficient time
to develop an adequate new root system.
Young trees set in late Fall or very
early Spring would be much more likely
to survive and develop vigorously. sweet
cherries offer a second problem in that
practically all varieties are unable 10
pollinate themselves satisfactorily. Hence
an isolated single tree or two or more
trees of single variety may blossom
and set no fruit. even though the tree
is healthy. we'll nourished and no frost
has occurred during blooming. Obvious
ly, it is desirable to plant two varieties
of sweet cherry unless neighbors nave
trees. The sour cherry is, fortunately,
free of this weakness, that is. the I'M
portant varieties. Montmorency, Early
Richmond and English Morello, are
self fruitful and may be planted singly
Sour cherries would pollinate sweet
varieties except that they do not bios
som concurrently. The combination OF
sweet cherries, Napoleon, Lambert and
Bing, has proved unfruitful and any one
of these should have companion tree
other than one of those named.
One of the most disconcerting prob
lens in cherry culture is the control OF
birds-robins, catbirds and the like
which look upon the cherry crop as
their own. One is forced to harvest
the fruit while partly ripe or simply
cover the tree with coarse cheesecloth,
the latter task being costly and difficult
and often out of the question. Cher
ries reach maximum quality right on
the tree, gaining in sugar and flavor
as long as attached, and hence one
dislikes to gather the fruit when partly
colored and relatively inferior. Per-
haps If more gardeners would grow
cherries the problem would be partly
solved by producing fruit enough for
both birds and people.

Organized Reserves

A change has been made in Army
Regulations 1870, which definitely as
signs responsibility to the Reserve regi-
mental commander and makes him a
commander in fact as well as in name.
The old Army regulation which deals
with general principles concerning the
Organized Reserves prescribed that in
regard to the duties of officers of the
Regular Army assigned to Reserve regi-
mentS, known as unit instructors, they
would "act for the regimental COM
mander after consultation with him
where practicable" In brief, the effect
of this regulation made the unit in
structor responsible for the develop
ment of the organization, the prepara
ton and execution of training programs,
including the correspondence school,
troop school and individual training
and the preparation of mobilization
plans.
Under the new regulations the Regu-
lar Army instructors assigned to the
Reserve regiments will give, by advice
and assistance, the fullest aid in the
theoretical instruction and training of
the organizations to which they are
assigned. In the performance of this
duty, however the regulations have not
lost sight of the fact that upon each
Reserve commander devolves the full
training of his command.
The chief reason for this change in
the regulations is to make the Reserve
unit self sustaining from an instruc-
tional viewpoint. The change will re-
quire each organization commander to
actually exercise the command of his
unit, and will result in the individual
training of other Reserve officers being
such as to qualify them to serve as in
structors. One of the best opportunities
for such instruction and training lies
in the conduct of the citizens military
training camps by Reserve organiza-
tions. The first half of the 14-day
training camps of District Reserve Off
GERS will be devoted to their instruction
and training, while the second week
will be devoted to their actual COM
mand of the c. NJ. T. C. camps.
The following second lieutenants of

District of Columbia, are assigned to

ment: William l.. Anderson, 1921 Fair

ing their Towering This applies chiefly
to old clumps that are beginning to
crowd themselves. BY dividing at this
time the new plants have time to be-
come re-established and reach good
condition for Towering again next
Spring. 1t is not advisable to separate
clumpS into the greatest possible num-
Der of divisions if one has next years
flower performance in mind, but rather
to make rather large units consisting
of three or more crowns.
Division of perennials gives the gar
dener a chance to replenish the soil
with nutrients and thus give the new
units a chance to root strongly. AS q
result one may expect larger and better
blooms than is possible under the
crowded and exhausted conditions which
usually surround old clumps. Under
droughty conditions such as now exist
it will be we'll to water the new plants
very thoroughly after resetting. Peonies
on the other hand, should not be divided
until Autumn because of their habit of
growing vigorously throughout the Sum-
mer and resting during the Autumn.

those who may not be satisfied with the
way their lawn grass is growing:
For many years bone meal has been
used quite generally as a fertilizer for
established lawns, but experiments con-
Quoted by the United States Department
of Agriculture have shown that a mix
ture of three parts of cottonseed meal
and one part of ammonium sulphate
gives much better results. This ferti-
lizer should be applied in Spring and

COLORING TOMATOES

Perhaps some gardeners may have
read of the process of artificially has
tening the coloring of tomatoes and
citrus fruits, with ethylene gas. From
work reported by the National Gamers
Association, tomatoes showing red
color failed to ripen any faster with
gas than without. Only those tomatoes
in the green-white stage of maturity
responded to gas and, since such fruit
has not attained full quality, it is EVIL
dent that casing of tomatoes has no
promise as a helpful process for the
home gardener. The highest quality
tomatoes are those ripened to full
red right on the vine.
