Spellacy Regains
 Hartford Control
 I'm Primary Fight
William J. Rankin Defeat- ed Attorney David A.
 Wilson Yesterday for Mayoralty Nomination Congressman Loner-
 gan Was Backing Los- CT, Spellacy the Winner
REGARDED AS BLOW
 TO REORGANIZERS

Congressman Augustine Loner- gan, one of the chieftains of the new guard" headed by Governor Wilbur L. Cross, saw bis control of Hartford democrats come to an early death yesterday. The man he was backing for the mayoralty nomination. Attorney David A. Wilson, met defeat at the party primaries yesterday and William J. Rankin, choice of former Ma tional Committeeman Thomas J. Spellaey, arch political enemy of Congressman Lonergan, was the victor.
 The victory in Hartford by the Spellacy forces was declared to have great significance. Last year Governor Wilbur L. Cross was swept to victory in the state. With him. Congressman Lonergan rode to victory for the congressional post. And it was then felt by many and claimed by the victors that at last the Spellacy combine in Hartford had been broken and that hence forth the new guard" would be at the wheel.
 New Guard Ignores Everyone
 But shortly after Governor Cross was shown into office. Attorney Spellacy began to assert his claims to recognition. Bitter fights took place and at one time the gover- nor and Attorney Spellacy came to very harsh words over an ap- pointment to be made. MT Spellacy was ignored in all appointments and it is believed that this fact, coup- led with the failure of Governor Cross to give Hartford. like Wa terbury. any notable recognitfon. caused the turn-about in yesterday $ democratic primary balloting.
 The victory of Attorney Spellacy in Hartford yesterday is taken to indicate that the "old guard Is back in the swim once more and

HEDGES

A very interesting bulletin, No. 272

surprising how plants respond to animal
manures applied to our rather poor
soils. Undoubtedly it is the organic
matter in the manure in addition TO
the fertilizer ingredients that brings
results. One worker in the Depart

THE GARDEN CLUBS

Perhaps the outstanding impression
that a casual visitor to the recent
Woodbridge Garden Club Show might
have gained was that of the beautiful
baskets of flowers as attractively ar
ranged as If they had come from the
most expert florist. So uniformly good
we're the baskets and vases that one
could not envy the judges their task of
selecting the finest exhibits. Roses
dominated the show both quantitatively
and qualitatively. but were ably sup
ported by other Spring flowers, includ-
Ing iris, peonies, snapdragons, pansieS,
water lilies and shrubbery. The vege-
tables and fruits were unusually good
for an amateur show. H. ]. Clay'S beets,

That the old hybrid perpetual group OF
roses still has plenty of appeal was
shown in the relatively large exhibit OF
these sturdy varieties. A soft pink
bloom of George Amends was particu-
larly attractive. In hybrid teas, Nine.
Edouard Herriot was Strikingly beau
tiful, and it is no easy task to grow
this rose because, of its susceptibility
to black spot disease. In climbers,
PauIs Scarlet and Dr. Van Fleet were
conspicuous. Mary Wallace, with its
rose pink blooms, much the color Of the
older Christine Wright, also competed
for recognition, and for those who like
a dark red rose, Dr. Huey was worthy
of consideration. PanSies are supposed
to be humble flowers, but, arranged as
they were at the Woodbridge show, they
attracted much attention. Altogether
its was a pleasing show, nicely ar
ranged, finely attended and credit
to the club.
Another splendid flower show, or
rather horticultural show. since fruits
and vegetables were included, was that

a young, newly set plant, may never
recover. On certain highly susceptible
varieties, the disease may also appear
on the young, tender canes. Control
of black spot is, therefore, almost I'M

dustine sulphur and one part OF arsen-
ate of lead, is conceded about the best

foliage temporarily, Old rose prunings
and fallen leaves should be gathered
and burned.
Another disease that is not as well
known as black spot but which is
equally dangerous is rose canker, a
malady which causes death of entire
canes or even entire plants. The dis
ease kills by girdlihg the cane. At this
season the infection appears on young
canes as small. circular reddish spots
which later become white. These spots
do not enlarge until late Winter or
early Spring, at which time. girdling
usually takes place. Some OF the m

ing is the direct result of this canker.
One pathologist states that the disease
is one of the causes Of "balled" blooms,
those that expand part way but fail to
open. Heavy Spring pruning helps re.
move the diseased portions of the plant
and the weekly busting With Massey
dust recommended for black spot helps
prevent the spread Of rose canker to
the young canes.
