highly desirable to destroy or bury bean

This pest was not very abundant this
year and 1t is to be hoped that this
means that the worst stages are past.
1t IL quite possible that parasites have
increased sufficiently to check the
beetles. Any one greatly interested in
this pest should secure copy of Farm

It Is rather strange but quite true
that the best jellies and preserves are
often made from wild fruits or those
not far removed from the wild. Take
for example the crab apples, the dam
SON plums and the wild grapes. These
are often sought in preference to table
varieties for preserving. Evidently In
breeding improved varieties some of the
characteristics. such as astringency and
acidity, that are discarded, are those
that lend flavor and quality to the pre-

Diseases are most difficult OF all TO
combat because some of the most de-
structive are of the virus type, the
causal factor of which has yet to be dis
covered, Virus diseases are recognized
by their effects on the plant, namely,
following, nothing, crinkling OF the
leaves ard stunning. About the only
control SO far devised is to destroy the
affected plants so that plant lice may
not carry the trouble TO the healthy
plants. The New York Botanical Gar
den in cooperation with other research
institutions is making study OF lily di-
seases and DR.. Stout cheerfully fore
casts the time when the home gardener
can grow lilies with all around success.
Autumn Is the time for planting many
kinds of lilies since some of the i'm
ported varieties are available only at
this time. In fact, some species arrive
so late that they cannot be delivered
before November and December. This
means that the soil should be spaded
in late October and mulched lightly
to prevent freezing. One species. the
Madonna lily, sends up roSette OF
leaves In the Autumn. These leaves
persist throughout the Winter and from
them emerges the flower spike In
Spring.

AN EXPERIMENT

A rough quartz sand and the pro-
duct obtained by grinding very finely
were compared at the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station a. soil In
which to grow tomato plants. Absolute
1y no plant food was added to either
material and their natural fertility was
practically nothing since analysis re-
vealed no nitrogen present. Yet in the
finely ground sand the tomatoes started
growth sooner. developed a fair color
and made three or four times the root
system than was developed in the
coarse sand. The reasons underlying
the results were not fathomed but evil
IDENTIFY cannot be sought in differences
in fertility. On hand, one would have
thought that the better growth would
have occurred in the coarse sand be-
cause of better aeration. At all events,
the results are interesting because they
indicate that other factors besides soil
fertility are concerned in growth.
In the experiment the tomatoes were
kept for 1--WE or six weeks only and of
course would not have had capacity
for fruiting. Nevertheless 1t is difficult
to offer q satisfactory explanation.
There is evidently a tremendous lot Of
knowledge yet to be uncovered by our
scientific workers.

BULBS FOR SPRING

Thoughts Of another Spring are al
ready in the mind of the home gar
dener, despite the fact that he is still
greatly interested In dahlias, chrySan-
themums and other late Autumn now
ers. The experienced gardener knows
that he must plan ahead II he y 70
make the very best Of his gardening
efforts. Bulbs, such as tulips, hya-
cinths and narcissi or daffodils, must
be planted In Autumn, the sooner now
the better, that the root systems may
have time to develop before Winter
freezing occurs. Certain changes also
20 on in the flower part Of the bulbs
under cool, moist conditions Of the soil.
The leaves and flower stalk do not ac-
tually grow, but they prepare them.
selves for the rapid development OF
Spring.
The bulb, whether it be hyacinth
tulip or narcissus, is simply bud with
a large supply Of reserve foods sufii-
Gent, indeed, to enable 1t to bloom In
moist sand. Yet the prize blooms are
not the result of such conditions. The
soil should be spaded deeply-that Is,
6 or inches, and at the same time
literally fertilized with Q good grade
of mixed fertilizer at the rate OF one
pound per 80 square feet. With the
soil prepared, the planter must then
formulate In his mind q plan of ar
rangemelt. Generally 1t is well to
group colors-that is, If there are sew
eral bulbs of one yariety-plant them en-
mass. A garden of tulips OF few
choice varieties will give a more pleas
ing effect than the same area planted
to a great many varieties.
Depth of planting is not important
but 1t is we'll that all bulbs OF one kind
be set ON the same level since depth
may affect their time of blooming.
Large bulbs may very well be covered
with three or four inches OF soil ana
small ones, such as croeus, by one 10
two inches. Where the soil Is well
spaded, holes may be opened with trow-
Ell or dibble. Some home gardeners place
small handful OF bone meal below
each bulb with layer Of soil between
the bulb and the fertilizer but such care
is not necessary if the soil Is well fertil"
lied prior to planting. After planting,
the soil may be nulched to advantage
with peat moss or old rotted manure.
The type of peat moss that has stable
manure incorporated would be better
than ordinary peat. II one desires to
remember the varieties, 1t Is advisable
to place stakes ut the time Of planting
or at least to make a crude map.
Bulbs are after all an easy crop TO
grow and extremely satisfactory. They
make their growth ct period when
weeds are not q menace. They can be
removed from the garden early enough
in the Summer to give place to an
nuals and above all they make a brill
liant show In early Spring when the
longing for coiorful flowers Is at its

GARDEN LILIES

Under the caption why We Fail With
Garden Lilies" DR.. A. b. Stout of New
York Botanical Garden, presented one
or two years ago most interesting dis
cussion as to the reasons that hardy
lilies are so relatively scarce in our
gardens. DR.. Stout divided the causes
into three major items-failure to meet
cultural Observation-Disclosures of OBJ
tanning good planting stock, and-losses
from disease. To the second and third,
more particularly the third, he Ascribes
the greatest portion Of the failures.
Among especially strong species DR..
Stout lists Lilium tigrtnum, L. Henryi
L. croceum, L. Yegale. L. candidum and
L. speciosum, all of which multiply
easily. When these fail rather sud-
denly after having given good account
of themselves. either rodents, insects
or disease are likely present. For rodent
control DIR. Stout suggests placing pieces
of sweet potatoes or wheat grains that
have been coated with strycllnine in

GARDEN NOTES

The blue spiraea, caryopteris incana,
now in full bloom, is o worthwhile
shrub for this locality. The flowers
are small but are borne in clusters and
in great number, sufficient to give the
plant lavender blue appearance.
Judging by the multitude Of honey bees
that visit the blooms, this species ought
to be an excellent honey plant. Blue
spiraea is not correctly named, sincs
the plant Is O verbena and not at al
related to the true spiraeas. 1t is
hardy In this locality but near its
safety line as every now and then
branches. The plants do not grow
more than three feet tall and about as
wide and should fit In very nicely In
front Of taller shrubbery.
In addition to tulips. narciSsi, hya-
cinths and crocus, there are many other
bulbs deserving Of the home gardeners
attention. AS listed in U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture bulletin No. T97,
prepared by DR.. Griffiths and assistant,
these are chiondoxia (glory of the
snow): eranthis winter aeonite); an
thericum est. Demands lily); galan-
thus (snowdrop); Spanish, English,
Dutch and oncocyclus iris: helleborus
christmas rose); montbretia; museari
N6AdPC Ay0CAAAIHJ oCllt&, C6KnHSBld ,
leujocum (snowflake); puschkinia; tri-
teleia; and ornithogalum (star of
Bethlehem).
Any one who has CHANGED TO pass DR.
Grifnths' home in Takoma Park in
early Spring has been simply amazed
at the wealth of color obtainable with
some of these smaller bulbs as natural
lied In his lawn. But for the gardener
who has extremely limited space these
lesser bulbs cannot take the place Of
the three standbys. namely, the tulip,
hyacinth and narcissus If for no other
reason than that they have little value
as cut flowers for the home.
Home gardeners who propose 10 plant
