THE SALIVA

Like many Of our more valuable orna-
mentals, the saliva suffers from the
fact that it is too easily grown; in other
words, it is too common to receive the
esteem that it really deserves. At this
time of year, when the days are becom-
ing shorter, the saliva blooms most
generously, probably because the day
length more closely resembles that OF
it's native home, Brazil. Botanists tell
us that there are upward of 500 species
of saliva scattered throughout the world.
At least three species, including the
common garden sage. are valued be-
cause of their aromatic leaves, used
in cookery.
In ornamental salvias, there are both
tender and hardy forms, with flowers
varying in color from the brilliant
scarlet of the common Saliva splendens
to the brilliant blue Of Saliva patens.
AS to cultural requirements, the
ordinary saliva is best sown under glass
in late March or early April, If early
flowers are desired. Plants raised from
seed soWn out-of-doors may come into
bloom only shortly before frost. The
soil need not be particularly fertile; in
fact, too much fertilizer will result in
plant growth at the expense of bloom.
Varieties differ considerably in size, the
bonfire being very snowy compact
variety, whereas the ordinary scarlet
sage is tall and branching in habit. For
sheer brilliance of color few species are
more striking than the salvias.

GARDEN NOTES

The Madonna lily, Lillium candidum,
with its pure white blooms. borne five
or more to the stalk and adorned with
conspicuous golden yellow stamens,
graced many local garden last June.
This is not difficult lily to grow, but
should be planted now so that the
crown Of leaves, which appears in the
Autumn and persists through the Win
ter, may have adequate time to develop.
In heavy clay soil, about two inches of
soil should be placed above the top of
the bulb. In sandy soil, the bulbs
should be set somewhat deeper, with
four inches of soil above the top. No
fertilizer should be placed in contact
with the bulb itself.
Butterfly bush, Buddlaea. Is improved
greatly by severe pruning in early
Spring. The flowers are born on the
eXtremities of new shoots and if the
bush is only lightly pruned there are
too many shoots and. as result, many
little flower spikes. The name butterfly
is derived from the large number of
butterflies which visit the blooms on
bright, sunny days.
The dwarf zinnias are, perhaps, su-
perior to the giant varieties, at least
they make a more snowy bed or border
and are more useful for cutting. Zin-
Mas grow so rapidly that they can be
grown from seed in the home garden
and need not be purchased as plants.
This is also true of the marigoldS.
Salvias, on the other hand, grow so
slowly in their early stages that it
is almost necessary to start them under
glass.
Althea, or Rose Of Sharon, is a rela-
tive of the mallows and of the holly
hook, the family resemblance being seen
easily in the blooms. Altheas make a
pretty hedge and endure heavy prun-
ing quite well
A new leaflet from the Department
of Agriculture, entitled "Rockeries," and
written by Prof F. L. Mulford, land
scape expert, deals with the preparation
of various types of rock gardens and
selection Of plant material.
1t is not always the difficult, expen-
sive features that go to make up an
attractive garden and home grounds.
Neatly trimmed grass, straight-edged
paths with no overlapping vegetation
and absence of weeds are inexpensive
attainments that go quite a way to
make a garden distinctive. AS one gar
den writer pointed out recently, it is
not even necessary to have lot Of
Towering plants in order to have an
attractive place. A nice stretch of
open, well cared for lawn with one
or two features, such as a small lily
pond. may be more beautiful than any
quantity of ill-arranged paintings.
Some of our showiest shrubs Of the
entire year are now in bloom, namely,
the Rose of Sharon or Althea and the
Grape myrtle. The large suburban
place could very well have colorful
blooms from the time forsythia comes
the latest roses fade with the frosts.

CLADIOLUS THRIPS

A new and serious enemy OF the
gladiolus has appeared in local gardens
and should be carefully watched by
home gardeners who grow this beau-
tiful flower. 1t is known as the ga
diolus thrips, and Department OF Agr1-
culture entomologists tell us it is ca
pabIe of causing q total loss OF the
gladiolus crop. In fact, at one OF the
recent local gladiolus shows, one eX-
hibitor lost all chapces OF winning
because of this insect. The thrips
rasps and punctures the surface layers
of the leaf, causing the development
of bleached-o spots, and the tips Of
the leaves may appear as If Scorched
by drought and the whole plant takes
on a weakened appearance. Flower
injury is manifested by the bleaching
and drying out Of the edges of the
/ petals while still in the bud. so they are
prevented from expanding normally
The beauty is so reduced that any one
would detect the fact that something
was wrong,
| Control is rendered difficult by the
! fact the insect stays with the plant
the entire year, feeding on the CORN in
Winter as we'll as ON the plant in
Summer. Apparently only the little
cormels are free of attack because of
their tight covering. The insects spend
much of their time beneath leaf and
bud sheaths or under the scales OF
the CORN and hence are difficult to
control by spraying.
On the hypothesis that the thrips
overwinter solely on the gladiolus, and
this is said to be somewhat uncertain,
control rests primarily in the treat
ment Of the corms. The grower who
regularly treats his stock with mercuric
bichloride or one of the proprietary
organic mercury compounds is said to
! be relatively safe. The bichloride is
used at the rate of one ounce to eight
! gallons OF water, with corms immersed
| for three hours.
Immersion of corms for 20 minutes
in water held at 112 degrees Fahrenheit
is also recommended, but it is little
more difficult because of the cooling of
the water Large lots may be fumi-
gated with naphthalene flakes inter-
mixed with corms at the rate of one
ounce to 100 corms in tight paper
sack. box or barrel. The naphthalene
| treatment caused no injury to cOrmS
and is considered especially adapted Ior
home gardeners because Of its sim
plic1ty.
Control on the plant is difficult be-
cause of the habit of the tiny insects
in invading the interior of the buds and
leaf sheaths. A worker in the Cana
oian Department of Agriculture sug-
gests the following spray: Paris green
2 tablespo0nfuls; brown sugar. pounds
and water, 8 gallons. Spraying should
commence as soon as the thrips is dis
covered and continued at weekly inter-
| Vals
