CHRYSANTHEMUMS.

Chrysanthemum season has arrived
in the garden, now that all tender
rivals have been cut down by frost. IN
fortunately, chrySanthemums have
suffered more or less in the general
garden depression due to drought but
have come through much better than
many plants and are Towering to some
extent even where no water has been
used.
At the September meeting of the
Takoma Horticultural Club, B. Y.
Morrison brought out the fact that this
is one year when the chrysanthemum
has not grown too tall Generally in
favorable growing years the plants re-
Quire stalking to keep them from top
ping over with the weight of blooms.
Mr.. Morrison is the author of Farmers
Bulletin No. 1911, published by the
Department of Agriculture, entitled
"Chrysa nthemums for the Home" in
which Is presented a very thorough dis
cussion of cultivation, propagation, dis
budding, spraying, etc.
Outdoor Types Harder.
The essential difference between the
greenhouse varieties and those grown
in the open is the greater hardness of
the outdoor types. The immense indi-
vidual flowers that are seen in florists
windows are the sole output of one
plant that has been extremely well
fortified and nurtured through the
Summer. One would be astounded with
the great increase in size that 1t Is
possible to obtain even in the usual
outdoor varieties by similar treatment.
Concerning varieties of outdoor chrys-
anthemums, they are legion since seed
lings are very easily produced, the
chvca nj l1aYnlln1 hpiY1O a YnpT1har of the
composite family to which belong the
common field daisies and dandelions,
all with the property of producing many
seeds per flower head. One has but to
attend the chrySanthemum show in the
Department of Agriculture greenhouses
to appreciate the number Of varieties
and the constant accesSions each year.
Wonderful Home Garden Flower.
The chrysanthemum is wonderful
flower for the home garden. 1t is eX-
trenlely hardy and will Withstand I'M
favorable environment as we'll as re-
spond to good care. Each year there
are produced at the crown many new
plants which when separated, become
effective Towering units in single sea-
son. Insect enemies are few, aphids
perhaps being the worst pest. One or
two diseases tend to remove the lower
leaves but can be controlled by treat
ments with Bordeaux mixture. The
flowers come at that season when prac-
tically everything else has been frosted
Altogether the chrysanthemum Is a
worthy member of the home garden
fora and perhaps merits a little more
care in the purchasing and trial of the
fine new varieties that are appearing
each year.

GARDEN ITEMS

Most suburban gardeners bid good-by
to the 1880 growing season with little
feeling of regret. It has been a very
disappointing season ever since the pass
ing of the iris last Spring. Some city
gardeners who had plenty of water sue
ceeded in raising fine flowers during the
Summer, but even for them the task of
daily watering grew irksome as the long
dry period continued undated. 1t will
be some time before the memory of this
unfaVorable gardening season passes
completely out of mind.
Tree or shrub planting at the present
time is almost out of the question unless
one can soak the soil thoroughly before
hand. 1t is comparable to digging in
the roadway to try TO open up holes in
the baked clay soils about the District
Planting will have to go over until
Spring in most gardens.
Withal it is surprising what good
crops Of sweet potatoes, pumpkins and
certain other vegetables were raised on
the farms about the city despite the I'M
usual conditions.
Plant Christening an Innovation.
Christening children and ships are
common occurrences, but the christen-
ing of a new plant is altogether an
innovation. On July 10 of this year the
Minnesota State Horticultural Society
held just such a ceremony for a fine
new red raspberry developed by the
experiment station. This new fruit,
christened the Chief, is said to be even
better than the Latham variety, sent out
some years ago by the same society, and
which has proved valuable wherever red
raspberries are grown. The Chief is
certainly worthy of trial by home gar
deners and is already offered for sale by
several Minnesota nurserymen.
Gamma roots must be lifted and
brought into the cellar for protection
from Winter freezing. Gamma roots
withstand heat and drying better than
dahlia tubers, and for this reason will
endure the modern house cellar much
better.
Cannot Resist Freezing.
Gladiolus corms or bulbs must also
be dug and stored. Quite often gladio-
lus will survive In the soil. but no one
would think of risking choice varieties
in this way. Gladiolus corms endure n
fairly wide range Of temperature and
drying, but cannot resist freezing.

able and, in the second place, those that
do exist are likely to be below standard
in vigor The straw covering need not
be thick, two to three inches suficing,
but it should be spread quite evenly
From the middle of November until the
first of December is good period in
which to do the mulching as growth
practically ceases for the Winter during
this season.
Leaves Clean Mat in Spring.
In tho Spring the straw needs only be
raked off the plants themselves. thus
leaving a clean mat upon which the
berries may lie while ripening The
mulch helps to control weeds in the
Spring and also to conserve moisture
during the critical ripening period
Straw is offered for sale by many of
the suburban poultry supply stores in
nicely packed bales and is not at all
expensive in a quantity adequate for
covering the average size home garden

MULCHING THE

A covering of straw placed over the

both from the standpoint of protection
and in the production of good clean
fruit next Spring. Strawberries often

Columbia have issued orders authoriz-
ing the superintendent of the Gallinger
Municipal Hospital to accept for free
treatment the members of the local
militia who are injured at armory drill
or while on voluntary duty. This set
ties problem which has been facing
the Guard for some time.
While adequate provision is made by
the Federal Government for the care
of militiamen who become sick or are
injured while serving at the annual
field encampment, nevertheless there
have been cases where militiamen have
been injured while engaged in their
weekly drills, and, many times, while
they have been performing purely vol
untary duty for the Guard. 1t was
pointed out that it was deemed unfair
to expect member of the militia who
was volunteering his services to bear
the expense of hospital treatment for
injuries received as a result, but there
was no way In which the condition
could be corrected until the Commits
sioners give their authority for treat
ment at Gallinger.
The Secretary of War has directed
that an Army rifle team badge, In
fantry, be issued to First Sergt. VIII
liam D. Putnam, Company E, 121st En-
place as a principal on the District of
Columbia Guard rifle team which COM
peted in the recent national rifle
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio.
A similar badge was ordered issued
to Master Sergt. Donald A. Falk, Head
quarters Detachment, goth Division,
on account of his winning a place as
an alternate on the team.
Brigade headquarters has ordered q
reassignment of troops to organizations
in the local Guard, increasing, in some
instances, the limit of strength of GER

partment remains the same, this figure
being 987,

From California
Visits Old Friends

F. E. Rathert returned this
week from a three-weeks' excur-
sion trip to California. The ex-
cursion started from Butte and
went by way of Salt Lake City
and the southern route to Los
Angeles. Mr.. Rathert was also at
San Diego and other southern cit
les and returned by San Francis
Co. He visited S. 7. Cogswell, Har-
ry Mason, the Ablins, DR.. Mowatt
and others well known here. Har-
ry Mason drove him all over the
country in and around Los Angel
es. Marc Mason entertained on a
beautiful, grassy, municipal golf
course that was covered with
players. Fred says two rounds on
this fine, 18-hole course was the
most fun he had, in spite of the
fact that Marc had a few strokes
the best Of it.

SPRING WEATHER QUITS
new BRIDGE is SAFE

After a couple of weeks Of soft
weather a series of sudden snow
falls Wednesday reblanketed the
ground, and Wednesday evening
the temperature took a deep dive
Of some fifty degrees, but it mod
Grated considerably Thursday. The
colder weather was quite welcome
as the river was running so deep
with water on top of the ice that
it was so 1t could not be crossed
except by a row boat.
Some slight apprehension was
felt for the new bridge, because
the main span was not yet in
place. The colder weather allays
all fear of the ice going out now.
Thursday evening an unconfirmed
report came from the bridge that
the big span was sufficiently COM
plete to cinch it and make it safe
even though the underpinning
should be carried away.

NORTHSIDE HOME
BURNED AT NIGHT
MYSTERY FIRE STARTS IN
CELLAR; 10 SONG BIRDS
ARE RESCUED

Fire of unknown origin virtual
Iy destroyed the Northside home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Arndt
early Thursday morning. They
We're awakened at about three
o'clock by smoke that nearly suf-
located them before they could
gather their clothing and a few
other articles and get outside.
Mrs. Arndt is a bird fancier
and had 10 canaries in her
home, which were her first thought
when she found the home on fire.
She was successful in getting
them all to safety.
The house is built in an ell
shape with the kitchen occupying
the wing. The fire appeared to
have had it's origin in the cellar
under the kitchen but what start
ed it is a mystery, because it is
reported there was no furnace or
stove in the basement. That part
Of the house had it's walls cover
ed with two thicknesses Of red
resin building paper. After the
fire had eaten through the kitch-
en- floor, the paper walls burned
like finder. The fire department
made good time in reaching the
fire, but the rear end Of the
building was ruined by the fire
and the front room badly damag-
ed by water. Mr.. Arndt is employ
ed at the Gross blacksmith shop.

which was formerly the Klaboe
