esses Of the plants. In fact the treat
ment has met with such favor that one
experiment station worker estimates
that more than ITS 900 trees and shrubs
we're thus handled in the three years
l928-3O. Plants difficult to transplant,
such as the sweet cherry. were par
ticularly benefited by waxing.
The wax used Is the ordinary
paraffin handled by grocery stores for
sealing canning jars, with little gum
added to increase its adhesiveness. A
wax made up of two parts OF parafln
and one part OF beeswax has given
good results, not melting readily in the
sun, The wax should be heated to ITO
degrees Fahrenheit and the plants
dipped very quickly. At lower tenn
neratures too thick a layer of wax is
deposited, and this in turn cracks and
flakes of. Above ITS degrees hazard to
the plant occurs.
Psrafin wax has for several years
been used in covering scions, but It's
use for dipping whole plants is rela-
lively new, but appears to be success
full enough to become a permanent
proposition. Home gardeners who have
had to contend with dried-out nursery
stock will welcome this new feature
that should mean much better success
in transplanting.

season.
According to the Neighborhood News.
published by the Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Association. there has been a
great increase this year in the number
of lily pools in Woodbridge home gar
dens. many having been built this past
year. There is something appealing
about water in the landscape, even If
it is only little pool with just a lily
plant or two. Such a pool often pro-
vides a central feature around which to
develop the rest of the garden.
Judging in the American University
Park home and garden contest was
completed this past week, the winners
to be announced at the next meeting
Of the Citizens Association. The sched-
ule of points upon which judging was
conducted was that adopted this year
by the Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Association and represents the climax
Of several years effort by the latter
body to obtain a just and satisfactory
scoring. There are some very attrac-
tive paintings in the American Univer-
