THE GLADIOLUS

The gladiolus occupies an equally
prominent position in the Summer gar
den as the iris does in the Spring gar
den. Either flower could constitute a
complete garden and both are aston
lShlngly easy to grow. The gladiolus
came from South Africa, but, of course,
not in the perfect varieties now in cul-
tivation. Perhaps the ability to with
stand drying in the heated cellar in
Winter Is derived in part from their ma
tive climate. For many years garden
ers were greatly puzzled as to the proper
pronunciation of the name gladiolus,
but back in 1924 the American Gladi-
olus Society decided on the accent on
the % and that the singular and plural
should be spelled the same way. Since
then people have come to adopt this
simpler treatment of the word with
much satisfaction to the every day
home gardener
One of the best ways to display
gladiolus in the garden is to plant them
IN small clumpS or groups among other
flowers, perhaps in the perennial border.
A bed for cutting may at the SANE time
be placed IN the vegetable garden or
among the annual flowers. The new
co-nls bulbs form above the old
making it desirable to plant the corms
at least four or five inches Ceep. This
deeper planting aids also in supporting
the stalks when they become heavy
with blooms. Like most flowers. the
gladiolus does best in full sunlight,
making it desirable where possible to
avoid tree shades or too close planting
to buildings except on the sunny ex-
posures. Water in abundance is needed
during the Towering stage, and this is
another reason why trees are undesir-
able neighbors Shallow cultivation is
better than deep because of the shallow
spreading root system. Fertilizer should
not be placed in contact with the corms
but Is. nevertheless, needed in our local
soils if fine spikes are to be obtained
When Autumn comes the corms should
be dug. although in our milder Winters.
such as last. the corms will survive out
OF doors. They do not flower as we'll.
however, as when stored in a dry, cool
place
Varieties are multitudinous In 1881
the American Gladiolus listed over T.
600 varieties. at least 5000 of which are
offered for sale by the various growers.
OF the 5000 perhaps 100 are really
outstanding No flower. unless it is the
dahlia. is more rapidly changing, so
that list of better varieties in one year
may be considerably altered during an
other. Very few Of the varieties pre-

the preferred lists

JAPANESE BEETLES

Information released by the press
service of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture states that the
japanese beetle cannot be destroyed
bv poison sprays because of its refusal
to feed on plant tissues coated with
spray. Less than a third of the beetles
present eat enough of the poison to
cause their death. However spraying
is effective by simply repelling the
beetles. Lead arsenate is said to be
a successful repellant as is also a
sulphur lime preparation known as
New Jersey dry mix. Traps baited
with geranium oil known as
geranol are chiefly valuable as detec-
tors of the presence of Japanese beetle
as they do not catch all the beetles
attracted to the vicinity. This latter
point should answer a question in the
minds of many local gardeners IS to
the feasibility OF procuring traps for
use on their own grounds.

SOME FLOWER
DISEASES

Very few of the plants that grow
in our gardens are completely free
from disease; the rose has its black
spot and canker, the lilies and bulbs
botrytis rot of the roots. asters wilt
and yellow, and so forth. In fact,
one can scarcely name plant that is
wholly free Most plants survive de-
spite disease and insects rather than
because of their absence. The use Of
sprays and dusts in home gardens is
exceedingly difficult because so often
there are only one or two plants Of
kind and many different kinds. Quite
different from going into an orchard
of apples or field of beans with one
plant species only.
Larkspur is often troubled with leaf
spot which appears in irregular black
areas on the upper surfaces of the
leaves and occasionally on the petioles,
stems and flower buds The lower
leaves are first attacked. the disease
finally progressing upward until the
entire stalk Is infected. This Is a bac-
terial disease for which the only remedy
diseased parts. drenching the crowns
in Spring with a weak solution of mer-
curry bichioride, and rotation of plant
ingS wherever feasible.
Iris root rot often appears at this
season and may be first detected by
dying of the leaves. especially those in
the center of the clump. Upon exami-
nation, the rhizone or fieShy root may
be found to be destroyed by soft, wet,
foul smelling decay. About the only
control Is to uproot the clump, divide
the plants and, after cutting out the
rot and disinfecting the roots in
1l000 solution Of mercury .bichloride.
replant in fresh soil. This disease Is
generally supplementary to the IRIS
borer which makes the initial wounds.
Home gardeners should take advantage
of such a situation by replacing the
diseased plants with some of the newer
kinds for there are really too many
inferior irises in our local ga1dens
Some of the japanese varieties could
very well be included in new program
Of planting.
Snapdragons often suffer from rust
which appears as chocolate pioMn,
powdery pustules. mostly on the lower
surface, but some times on the upper
surface of the leaves. On the stems
these pustules are elongated IN shape.
Heavy infection causes the plants 10
bloom prematurelv on dwarfed SHOOTS
and frequently kills the plants outright
Control is secured by selection of cut
tings If the plants are so propagateo.
Rust is not carried over on the seed SO
one has a reasonable chance to grow
healthy plants if renewed yearly and in
the late Autumn the old plants are de-
stroyed by burning.
Spotting of boxwood leaves often
causes worry to owners PathologlStS
ascribe this appearance to several fungi
and have noted that the trouble is ap-
parently limited to bushes weakened BY
various causes. notably poor drainage.
An application of Borceau;; mixture in
Spring. before new growth starts. Is
helpful as is also the remoTal OF dead
growth within the plant so as to allow
better movement of air.

ing poison for the control of ants In
the lawn: One pound Of sugar and l25
grains of arsenite Of soda boiled in a
quart of water to form a sirup. This
sirup should then be distributed in shall
low containers, such as parafhn- treated
pill boxes. The ants will collect the
poisoned sirup, carry it to their nests
and poison themselves and their young.
A teaspoonful of honey added to the
sirup will sometimes render it more at
tractive to the ants. Some species, sucE
as the big black ants, prefer meat
diet. in which case the poisoned bait
should be spread on a piece of ham or
bacon rind. The arsenite of soda is a
drastic poison and should be handled
carefully with relation TO children.

The gladiolus is pre-eminently home
garden flower 1t is almost certain to
give satisfaction, even with mediocre
care The bulbs or corms are very
moderate in initial cost and they null
tiply readily, especially if one saves the
little cormlet5 that form about the large
CORN. There is no particular difficulty
in storing the crop of corms as there is
with the dahlia tuber. The flower
spikes are most admirable for cutting
and home decoration.
