GARDEN NOTES.

Ornamental cherry trees are beyond
question extremely beautiful, but it is
something of a question as to their
adaptability for the small home because
of their susceptibility to scale insects.
Large public park systems can contend
successfully with these pests because
they have the spray equipment and
trained workers. And as another fea-
ture. the cherries certainly make their
finest show when planted in mass.
From now until early next Spring
privet hedges may be cut back to
where the owner would like them to be
without fear of permanently injuring
the hedge. In fact, such pruning will
go long way to restore vigor as well
as original beauty. Privet hedges have
a way Of gradually increasing in size
despite Summer clipping.
Limestone is available to gardeners
in finely ground form, untreated by
heating or chemicals. This kind OF
lime has several advantages over pre-
pared forms. It may be put on the
soil in large amounts sufficient to keep
the soil sweet or more properly nom
acid fC> IeVeral years, 1t may be APP
piled safely at any time, even when the
seed is sown in Spring, and 1t helps
break down the heavy clay soils into
workable condition. The Takoma Horti-
cultural Club every season or so buys
a carload Of ground limestone for its
members, selling it to them at a very
material saving This is offered as q
suggestion to other garden clubs. not
TO advertise the Takoma Club, which
limits sale to members.

grapes, such as Concord, Delaware and

THE GARDEN CLUBS.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Montgomery Suburban Garden Club
held Friday evening at the Somerset
School, the guest speaker was w. Il.
Beattie, extension horticulturist and
radio specialist in the once of Horti-
cultural Crops and Diseases, Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mr.. Beattie chose
as his subject Putting the Garden to
Bed for Winter" very timely matter
for consideration. Following the major
discussion there was a question period
In which Mr.. Beattie answered inquiries
of all sorts dealing with the garden.
Howard r. Watkins, chairman of the
Plant Material Committee, announced
the arrival of the Holland bulbs and
requested all who had ordered bulbs to
call at his residence, 800 Cumberland
avenue, Somerset.
The winning by the Montgomery
Club of the Garden Club Basket Ex-
hibit at the Fall exhibition of the Ma
tional Capital Dahlia and Iris Society
was discussed as a matter CT well war
ranted pride and as a stimulus for the
club to take active part In future COM
petitions.
Most of the garden clubs are now
busily engaged in making up states OF
officers for another year, but fortu-
nately politics rarely enters the gar
den club and elections present no
prospective change of policies. AS a
purely democratic unit, the garden
club has no equal. The guiding spirit
Is service to the members and in the
large clubs there is no restrictive limi-
tations to membership beyond an ex-
preston of mutual interest At the
| same time there is not much active

LOCAL NURSERIES.

Following the mistaken line Of
thought that distant fields are greener,
many folks living in this vicinity send
away to remote points for trees, shrubs
and perennial plants. Weighing the
matter over there is every reason for
patronizing the local nurseries when
they have the material needed, and
it is likely that they have, because OF
the remarkable development in num-
Der of nurseries and quality of their
material in the last few years. One
can scarcely leave the city on any Of
the important roads without encoun-
tering one or more nursery establish
ments. Thus it Is easily possible to
drive right to the location and choose
the stock as 1t actually is and not
by a measurement which can be more
or less misleading. Then If the purchaser
so wishes most of the local nursery
men, for a moderate service charge,
will bring the plants to the home and
set them out where desired. Plants
taken up and reset the same day are
certain to suffer less than those which
haze to travel many miles in hot ex-
press cars and be handled over and
over again. Another important point
is that the local nurseryman knows
what plants will thrive here and can
assist the purchaser to make a wise
choice. A short time ago a local plant
grower, who was speaking before one
of the local garden clubs, more than
pleased his audience by his keen
knowledge of the adaptation of various
plants to this locality. Who, after all,
should be in a better position to study
plants than the man who makes their
propagation and culture his life work
Finally, if one looks on the matter
from the hard point of dollars and
cents, there is no transportation charge
on locally grown stock, which should
mean a direct saving

prove the garden soil. For the large
suburban garden, thinking chiefly Of
vegetables and annual flowers rather
than perennials, cover crops such as
COW peas, soy beans and crimson clover
offer the best solution. Literally fer
tilted with commercial fertilizer, these
plants will produce a heavy crop Of
vegetation which, when plowed or
spaded into the soil, Is going to add
greatly to its vegetable or organic mat
ter and incidentally its fertility. All
three Of the plants mentioned are
legumes, nitrogen gatherers. The cow
peas and soy beans are Summer crops,
the crimson clover is sown in Septem-
Der and blossoms the succeeding Spring.
For the small city garden, cover
crops are rather obviously out of the
question because there is no room for
both garden plants and cover crops.
Here the reliance must be placed on
shredded and ground manures, bone
meal and mixed fertilizer. The guam
titles needed are generally so relatively
small that the total expense does not
preclude the use Of rather costly ma
terials.
All in all, the substance of the story
is that the soil must be supported in
its task Of producing plants by replen-
ishments of some sort. Cultivated
crops take food from the soil. The
very act of frequent tillage helps hasten
the decomposition of certain compo-'
nents of the soil. The only fair and
sensible proposition is to supply the
soil with some Of the materials that
are lost.

Niagara, as good keepers, yet they do
keep quite well in cold storage. Take
the varieties Agawam and Vergennes,
not so well known as Concord, but
very good in quality. They Will keep
past Christmas without difficulty.
No frost as yet in many in-town
gardens. quite a record even in this To-
cality, where the frost usually comes
during the last week or so Of october.
This Is proving a most excellent season
for outdoor chrySanthemumS.
one of the Department of Agricul-
lures tomatoes, Marglobe, bred by the
late DR.. Frederick Pritchard for re-
Sistance to wilt, has so much quality
as well as resistance that it Is now
grown in most of the leading tomato
sections of the country. This variety
deserves a trial in the home garden as
it has fine color, smooth appearance
and good quality within.
One reason why the cider purchased
at different roadside stands, and indeed
at different times at the same stand
varies so much in quality is the fact
that the variety of apple from which
cider is made exercises great influ-
ence on quality. The French recognize
this and have whole collection Of cider
apples, pommes a cidre. The time
should come in this country when cider
should be no longer considered a by
product.

PLANTS MUST SLEEP.

One of the most curious of phenom-
ena that beset intent students of plants
and their activities is really the period
Of inactivity sometimes called rest
periods, sometimes dormancy. Yet 1t
does not compare with sleep in animals
because with most plants the plant,
whether it be seed or a developed
plant such as a tree, cannot be awak-
ened until the proper time arrives.
Many of our trees are dormant now in
so far as growth of next years buds
goes. Most every home gardener knows
that twigs of fruit trees or Shrubbery
brought into the house in December
will not grow while in February they
will readily break into leaf. Why? No
plant psychologist would be able to give
an answer. 1t is known that starches
and other reserves accumulate in plants
at this time of year and that in Winter
these are turned into sugars and avail
able foods so that when growth re-
sumeS there is abundant food present.
But the why's and wherefores are not
understood. The ability to go into rest
IS just as much vital factor in its ex-
4stenceS as is the fact it has roots
Scientists have carried on some in
tefesting studies in trying to break the
rest of certain economic plants, such as
subjecting them to heat, to various
gases and mechanical injury, but gen.
orally with little success. Gladiolus
growers would profit if this plant would
force in Winter, but gains of only a
few days have been made. Dutch hya-
cinth bulb growers subject some of their
bulbs to high temperature which per-
mitS them to bloom by Christmas. Po-
tato growers in Bermuda have gained
something by treating the seed before
planting.
After all, plant sleep or dormancy is a
wise provision of nature The North
Temperate Zone would be rather q
bleak place without Winter rest.

THE SEASON ENDS.

For the average home gardener, the
1881 season is now pretty well a matter
of history, very much more successful
than the preceding year but scarcely
measuring up to the best, due to the
after effects of 1880, notably the lack
of water in the subsoil.
There are q few tasks left, one Of
which is to get the tools put away in
good condition to Withstand the Winter.
Some gardeners wipe their tools with
an oiled cloth to prevent rusting, but
If they are dry when put away this Is
not altogether important Where there
is a bolt or nut missing or broken
part it would be sensible to make the
repairs now rather than wait fC" CDring.
when there are literally thousand and
one things to be done. Those who have
spray equipment must be careful that
it is emptied of all freezable liquids
Garden hose, too, should be drained
thoroughly before being put away
permanently.
Where a home gardener is planning
to use a fresh piece of soil for garden
ing it will pay to have it spaded up late
this Fall or early Winter so that 1t may
be subjected to alternate freezing and
thawing, with its beneficial effects on
texture. Roughly spaded soil will be
1T to plant much earlier than would
newly turned sod. Where lime is to be
used any time in the next two months
is an admirable time to apply it.
In the orchard. even though it con-
sists of only a few trees. wire screening
should be placed about the trees to keep
away rabbits and ground hogs. Rubbish
of all kinds should be gathered and
burned so that rodents cannot easily
hide,

NEW YORK. November SENATOR
Burton K. Wheeler, Montana Democrat,
on his return from Europe yesterday
predicted the next United States Presi-
dent will be a Democrat
Senator Wheeler named Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt as the outstanding can
didate for Democratic nomination.
He would make no further comment
on the presidential situation and turned
his attention to the administration
stand on naval armament cuts.
President Hoover" he said, should
have gone further than he did, but
am glad to see the President take the
stand he has in insisting on Navy cuts. "
Wheeler warned that tariff barriers all
over the world must be lowered If the
present civilization is to endure" He
also said Europe presented to him the
aspects OF an armed camp and all that
prevented IN open outbreak there was
the realization by the various nations
that it would be impossible to finance
war.
He termed the present Manchurian
crisis the severest test ever made of the
adequacy Of the League Of Nations.
