DARWIN TULIPS

Many a local garden is now brilliant
with the snowy Darwin, breeder and
May Towering tulips. These tulips have
been so reasonable in cost in recent
years that they might readily be termed
the poor mans or, rather, the poor
gardeners flowers, but at the same
time are worthy of place in the finest
garden. The Darwins include shades
of color ranging from deep purple TO
pure white, through a whole graduation
of light puppies, lavenders and reds ana
pinks of various hueS. There is null
titude of varieties, but 1t so happens
that some of the finest also are the
most reasonably priced, for example,
Farncombe Sanders. Ecu Brilliant, AIT
erglow, Clara Butt and Centenalre.
The pure white variety, zwanenburg, is
still quite costly, as also are the yellow
kinds, Mrs. Ware end Miss curry.
However. by turning TO the May flower
ing group, one can find plenty OF nne
yellows, such as Bouton dor, Mrs.
Moon, Moonlight and Inglescomb yell
low. all at reasonable price.
Home gardeners living in communl.
ties with active garden clubs would
often more than save the modest dues
by affiliating with the club and par
ticipating in collective orders for bulbs.
What is still more important, an OPP
portunity is offered to confer with more
experienced gardeners in regard to va
rieties and culture. The flower shows
staged by these clubs offer an ideal OPP
portunity to select varieties as they &C
tuslly appear and not as they are pic
tured i'll the catalogue.

PLANT BREEDING
BY Amateurs.

One of the most interesting hobbies
! that TIE home gardener can develop Is
that of plant breeding, especially II ne
confines himself to one or two species
and becomes thoroughly familiar with
their characteristics. Washington ana
| its suburbs boast of many such amateur
| breeders, some of whom have become
| widely known because of their success
| full endeaVorS The peony, mis- ana
narcissus are receiving considerable at
tention at the present time. So impor-
! tant is this work that certain OF the
garden clubs offer special awards Tor
meritorious seedlings.
Plant breeding takes considerable skill
and lots of patience. 1t usually takes
five or six years to bring a seeding
iris or narciSsus to blooming size, and
this requires great patience in caring
for the small plants, especially when
the expectation of real success is small
at The best. One principle in breeding
that seems pretty well established Is
that mediocre parents rarely, If ever,
give rise to superior progeny. Hence
the prospective breeder must know his
material and use the outstanding va
rieties Generally the breeder has some
distinct aim in view, perhaps color,
stronger and taller flower stalks, re-
sistance to disease, etc. Take the anna
ryllis, for example. The Department of
Agriculture investigators aimed for a
pure white variety, and finally secured
it, but not by haphaZard chance.
Most blooms have male and female
parts in the same flower. It becomes
necessary to open the bud few days
before it would burst and remove the
male portion, or anthers, covering the
bloom or blooms with glasSine sacks to
prevent bees or insects, or even the
wind, from bringing in strange pollen.
Then, when the flower is prime, pollen
must be transferred from the desired
male parent to the bagged flower.
Chances for viable seed are limited in
many cases; sometimes no seed will
form, and then the breeder must try
other combinations until he attains sue
cess. In many species care Is needed to
harvest the seed pods before they break
open and scatter the seed. Some kinds
of seed need a rest before planting;
others must be kept moist and sown
Immediately on ripening. For these
reasons breeders generally concentrate
on one or two species, so that they may
learn the various peculiarities and re-
quirements.
Plant breeding Is great hobby If one
likes to work with plants. The chances
of failure and, of course, success stimu-
late the curiosity, but at the best it Is
no occupation Tor the gardener who
wants immediate results. Plants simply
can1lot be hurried.

protecting an apple tree from ccdling
moth and 6 cents to treat a peach tree
with paradichlorobenzene to prevent
borer injury. Obviously the cost per
tree will be considerably greater in
home gardens where the number of
trees is small, but there will still be a
wide margin of profit in favor of spray
ing.
High pressure aids the commercial
orchard.st in increasing the effective
nes5 of his spraying, but incidentally
adds to the original cost of equipment.
The hcme gardener can do very good
job Of spraying fruit trees with SIM
pie bucket pump equipped with a salts
factory nozzle. Pressure is low and dis
tribution of spray not very good, but If
spray is placed on the foliage and in
the Enclosed calyx cups it will kill the
tiny insects. After all. the insect Is
killed by the poison that it actually
consumes and not by the high pres
sure with which the spray may strike
IT. With patience and thoroughness
the home gardener can accomplish a
very gocd task Of protecting his fruit
and vegetable plants, even with modest
equipment.

ARSENICAL SPRAYS

ArSenical sprays, especially those In
which lead arsenate Is the active agent,
are now our principal means OF ccm-
batting chewing insects, such as the
codling moth, curculio potato beetles,
etc Their use is not without danger
to human beings and farm animals. as
is attested by the well founded agita-
ton concerning spray residues on APP
Piles, pears and various vegetables, such
as beans-in fact, on any plant where
the sprayed portion Is consumed.
Chemical analysis has shown beyond
doubt that it is possible TO get enough
spray on fruit to make it's consumption
hazardous unless it is cleaned by wash
ing in dilute acids, notably hydrochloric
acid. This is a tedious process, the
results of which have to be carefully
checked to see that the purpose las
been actually accomplished
One of the most hopeful develop
ments is the discovery that certain
plant poisons are even mere efficacious
than arsenic in killing insects and at
the same time are quite harmless to
human beings. The Department Of
Agriculture and various commercial
agencies are tirelessly working to de-
velop sufficient supplies of these plant
materials so that they may entirely
replace the mineral poisons in spray
ing. There is hope that by learning
the chemical makeup of these plant
poiscns it will be possible to manu-
facture them in laboratories.
That this step means much to home
gardeners is beyond debate. The home
gardener has no facilities for washing
his fruit and vegetables. so in a way
he is more vitality concerned than
large commercial producers that do
have such equipment. Take the Mexi-
can bean beetle problem, for instance.
The plants and the beans have to be
sprayed or busted many.4ines to pre-
vent this insect from destroying the
crops. The hazard of accommodating
too much arsenic on the bean pods is
evident. Hence the development of
abundant and reasonably priced plant
poisonS is of much concern to all gar
deners. We may confidently look for
ward to the time when the arsenic resi-
due problem will be entirely removed
by the simple expedient of substituting
non-poisonous sprays or dustS II GER
tainly will be relief not to have such
poisons around the home at all, for
their presence is always hazard to
children and animals.

STRAWBERRIES

The following release from the press
service of the Department of Agricul-
ture contains valuable information on
new and cid varieties Of strawberries
for the home garden:
People who avoid Strawberries be-
cause of their high acidity need not
deny themselves the pleasure of eat
this luscious fruit If they will try some
of the milder favored varieties, such
as the New York, the Marshal and
the Chesapeake. Several hundred
in the United States, one for
every locality and purpose. accord
ing to specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture, who have
classified them for the benefit Of grow
erS and consumers. OF this large num-
Der of varieties, however, only about 40
are grown commercially and 19 of these
constitute So per cent of the acreage.
The three 1eaders-Klondike, Aroma
and Howard 17-account for SO per cent
of the acreage in the country.
Climate and soil conditions are fac
tors that determine to a large extent
the best varieties to grow in the differ
ent sections of the country. The Mis-
sionary is the leading sort in Florida
and along the Atlantic Coast to Mary
land. Most other parts Of the South
prefer the Klondike. The Blakemore,
new berry developed by the depart
ment, is becoming popular in the Caro-
linas and as far north as New Jersey.
THE Aroma is favorite in most OF
the milder regions of the Central-States,
including the northern part Of Arkansas
and Tennessee and the southern parts
of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. The
Dunlap is popular in the remainder of
the Middle West. In the Northwest,
Marshall, Oregon, Ettersburg 121 and
Clark are most widely grown, while the
Howard II is king north of the Ohio
and Potomac and east of the MiSsis-
sippi.
"In recent years varieties adapted to
special purposes have taken their places
by the side of the older ones. The Et-
tersburg 121, grown in Washington and
oregon, is preferred by Gamers, while
the new Blakemore appears to be espe-
cially good for preserving. The ice
cream trade prefers the Marshall and
Klon1ike.
New berries of strawberries are be-
ing introduced constantly, the depart
ment says. Many of them possess no
special value as compared with the well
established varieties and most Of them
soon disappear from nurserymen's lists.
Occasionally new variety such as the
Blakemore has merit enough to make a
place for ITSELF"

GARDEN NOTES

No less an authority than Frank A.
Waugh, landscape gardener and prolific
writer, urges the use of apple trees as
ornamentals. He asserts: There are
thousands of high-priced, long-named,
so-called ornamental shrubs in the nur-
serymans catalogue which are far in
ferior in quantity or beauty of flowers.
The apple tree in blossom is fragrant,
delightful, magnificent beyond descrip-
ton" OF course, one would scarcely
recommend planting apple trees on
small city lawns, but in the suburbs,
where space is more abundant, an apple
tree might often find a place Prof.
Waugh adds that If one does not care
for fruit, some of the Towering crabs
have great beauty. Some of these, such
as BechtelS crab. are without fruit of
any kind, the blossoms assessing after
fading.
Sometimes young fruit trees are very
slow to begin to blossom and bear.
This may be question of variety diff
ference or 1t may be that the young
tree has devoted all its energy to growth
If ring of bark one-fourth to one
half inch in width Is removed from one
or two of the main limbs along about
the end of May, these limbs are quite
likely to come into bloom the next
Spring. One home gardener in the
suburbs succeeded in bringing q young
Grimes Golden apple tree into blossom
by this means. Not single flower was
found on the non-ringed portions of
this tree. Ringing is not good treat
ment for the permanent orchard be-
cause it dwarfs growth of top and
roots. but has use in bringing a tardy
tree into fruiting when one is primarily
interested in the fruit and not the
permanency Of the tree.
Hyacinths are going to be much more
reasonable in price this year, according
to the new bulb catalogues, Just about
one-half the price of the last few years.
This should mean that many more hya-
cinth bulbs will be planted this coming
Autumn by local home owners. This is
as 1t should be, because the hyacinth
Is beautiful flower and the plant
highly durable, increasing in beauty
from year to year.
The black walnut planting campaign,

finest of our native trees, perfectly

THE GARDEN CLUBS

There were at least two fine tulip
shows in the city this past week, name
ly, the Woodbridge Garden Club Show,
held Monday evening at the Sherwood
Presbyterian Church Hall, and The Ia
koma Horticultural Club Show, staged
Thursday and Friday at the Takoma
Park branch of the Public Library. For
color and general magnificence the large
lowered. long -stemmed tulips excel most
all garden flowers except, perhaps, the
pcony and the Oriental rcrpy Hence
it goes without saying that both dis
plays were brilliant and fascinating.
The Takoma show was staged By a
committee headed by william T. Sim

GERMANS CONSIDER
ROCKET DEFENSE
Possibility Discussed as Re-
suit of Treaty Ban on Fast
Combat Planes.
Rv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May Germany, land of
the "vest-pocket cruiser" seems on the
point of developing also a vest
pocket" air defense.
Under the Versailles treaty Germany
is not permitted to build fighting
planes. But ether countries have built
enough of them to worry Germans VINO
insist their country must be Just as
adequately protected as If 1t we're pop
ulated by Frenchmen or Poles.
Berlin is less than an hours flight
from the Polish and Czechcslovakian
borders. The industrial Rhinelanl is
less than an hours fight from the
French border. Germanys air defense
consists of a few anti-aircraft guns.
Nothing About Rockets.
To build fast fighting planes, capable
of beating eff an air raid, would be TO
violate the Versailles treaty.
But the treaty says nothing about
rockets. And so, with Germany acute
ly rocket-conscious just now, the pos
sibility of developing an air defense
with rockets is being seriously dis
cussed.
It may be many a year before any
one in Germany or elsewhere succeeds
in shooting a rocket to the moon. But
rockets capable of describing splrais
and figure Fights in the atmosphere
above a threatened city are no distant
ONLY recently the Osnabrueck in
yentor. Reinhold Thing. demonstrated
a powder rocket which, when 1t
reached the peak of its upward curve
unfolded wings and glided back to
earth like a sailplane.
He calls his invention "hochlei-
stungsdauerbrandpul which
means a high flyer rocket propelled by
burning powder.
LIQUID Fuel Rockets Demonstrated.
At Dessau Johannes Winkler demon
strated a liquid-fuel rocket that DE-
scribed exactly the curve he said 1t
would make, and landed where he pre-
dicted it would. =,
And in Berlin the Heylandt Liquid
Gas Engineering Works exhibited to
newspaper men rocket-motor WIFI
4OO-pound recoil and roar like several
thousand airplane motors, which its
builders say could project itself to any
point in Europe within IL minutes.
Engineers, basing their predictions on
these demonstrations and on recent
achievements in radio control OF air
planes in fight, contend that the radio
controlled rocket, capable of shooting
to super-airplane heights like bullet
and then spreading wings and z1gzag-
ging downward under distant control,
is just matter of money and time.
Interesting Field Of Conjecture.
Such rockets would not have to be
loaded with explosives to be valuable in
air defense. Planes have been disabled
by colliding with large birds, while small
pieces of loose metal coming in con-
tact with a whirling propeller have
caused many a forced landing
A few hundred metal rockets radio
gui:ed toward a collision with an ap-
preaching air squadron could be vastly
disconcerting to enemies.
Loaded with high explosives, ignitable
by radio at the most opportune time,
they could be ev-n more dangerous to
an approaching fleet, army or air ar
mazda.
The rocket as substitute for heavy
artillery Is another interesting field of
engineering conjecture.
