ROSE GARDENS

Owners of rose gardens are now busy
seeing to the fact that the rapidly
developing plants are supplied with
essential soil foods. Cultivation Is also
important although just how important
is question when one has seen the
splendid plants grown under paper cul-
ture by DR.. l.. H. Flint of paper mulch
fame. Yet cultivation Is necessary
where weeds and grass are competitors
Of the rose. For fertilizer, old well
rotted cow manure cannot be excelled,
but it is true that 1t Is often unavail-
able, SO the gardener must resort to
other materials such as sheep manure,
dried blood, ground bone and mixed
fertilizer. once the rose plant has be-
come established, 1t can use lots of such
food, but in the beginning one should
use but the equivalent OF small hand
full Of fertilizer per plant. supplementing
this after few weeks with further
amounts. All rosewood that died in the
Winter Is now very evident and should
be removed at once for good appearance
and also to remove disease sources as
canker may have killed it. Rosebeds
respond to this added care by producing
choicer, finer blooms and more of them.

APPLE BLOSSOMS

One does not usually think Of the
apple as an ornamental plant because
the thought Of its economic value as q
producer Of food generally outweighs
other considerations. Yet none could
deny the beauty of the apple tree when
In bloom. In fact, it Is likely that the
apple would be planted more or less
even II fruit was not produced or was
decidedly inferior. In fact, certain Of
the wild species of apples and crab
apples are used as ornamentals, espe-
cially the deep pink lowered forms Of
rather dwarf tendencies. The double
Powered crab. known as Bechtel crab,
Is a wonderfully beautiful semi-dwarf
tree, producing at this season flowers
resembling small pink roses and quite
as attractive. The tree Of the Bechtel
crab is attractive throughout the year,
except when attacked by the cedar rust,
which causes early dropping of the
leaves. Even gnarly, twisted old apple
trees have a certain odd beauty which
appeals to many folks to such an ex-
tent that such trees are retained even
after their usefulness as producers of
fruit Is dubious.

program conforms with the results of
studies ut the Michigan Experiment
Station, where It was also found that q
complete fertilizer was best.
Water In abundance Is needed ct all
stages, especially during the blooming
season.
Concerning storage, DR.. Hollowell
stated that he utilized q dry cellar
which averaged about go F., but this
point aroused considerable discussion,
several members asserting that they
preferred considerably lower tempera-
lures. It is evident that gladiolus bulbs
can be kept at quite a wide range of
temperatures.
In the discussion, following DR..
Hollowell's talk, 1t was brought out that
the little bulblets should be planted
early, April is to May /, to prevent
their drying out and to give them ample
time for development.

SMALL TELLS
DANGERS OF
BOND issue

Senator Clint @. Small, candidate
for governor, spoke to a fair-sized
audience in the district court rooms
today at 2:30 o'clock, pointing out
to them that a constitutional
amendment to issue bonds for state
road construction would cost the
public schools Of Texas over So
O00. 900 annually, under the present
proposal.
This was Senator Small first
speech in the Rio Grande Valley,
and ne Is scheduled to talk again
Monday night. 8 p. m. at the Fair
Park auditorium, Harlingen, ac-
cording to county judge Oscar G..
Dancy. His talk Monday night will
be broadcast over radio KRGV. He
will talk in KingSville Tuesday noon
and Corpus Christi Tuesday night.
He will visit Victoria Wednesday.
Explaining how the issuance of
state bonds would effect the schools,
Senator Small pointed out TO his
audience that at this time the
gasoline tax OF 4 cents is an oc-
cupational tax. As q constitutional
tax, II the bond amendment were
passed, the schools would lose their
share Of ! cent a gallon. This sum
would amount to more than S8.0o0,-
900 and the only other source OF
revenue for-the public schools would
be from the ad valorem tax, he
said.
He charged that the big oil
companies we're friendly to the
state bond program because under
its provisions they would add to
their annual profits the sum denied
the school fund.
The extreme danger OF this plan
is that II would leave our schools
without adequate support" he said.
Texas needs a man who stands at
the MONDAY Of life. Ii needs a man
who has nerve enough 10 discuss
other important state problems be-
side highways"
He told his audience that his
was an affirmative" platform. and
that he stood for things and not
against them.
1T Is time" Senator Small said,
for the old gang OF professional
politicians who make their living
by fighting everything that CO. es
along TO step out OF the way and
let Texas enjoy its natural ex-
pansion. The state has been re-
tarded immeasurably as the result
Of personal political feuds and age
old factional battles. Let us adjourn
politics. and develop Texas"
He will speak along similar lines
In Harrington tonight, 1t was said.
