It was early recognized by the mining
men of Montana that the production of gold
was one of the few, if not the only depression
proof industry and as a result prospectors
and miners started into the hills Of this state
early in the Spring of 1881. Estimates vary,
but there are at least 3, 900 and perhaps 5000
men placering, quartz mining and prospect
ing for gold, these men being driven there
solely hv the depression.

Some Of the men are develop

while some have entered into dis
districts where there has been
very little prospecting for gold
heretofore. The placer miners
have practically al lentered old
districts to CLEAN what was left
by the early day placer miners
and to sluice gold that had been
deposited In the rivers during
the past forty five years. IS there

Unless one is prepared to water reg

favorable time to SOW grass seed. Sep
tember is an ideal time for lawn seed
ing in this locality and it would be well
to wait until then. One good way to
handle the situation would be to SOW
COW peas and then in September to
pillow them under, thus accomplishing
two objects a green cover now and
added nutrition for the grass sown in
September If grass is demanded at
this season, sodding is probably the
practical way. but is, Of course, COM
paratively expensive.
Evergreens are little more difficult
to carry through their first Summer
than are broad leaf shrubs and must
be watered heavily once in a while,
particularly if planted alongside of
house or wall where the natural soil
moisture supply is low. Where one
plans to leave the home for few weeks
in Midsummer, it would be well to
mulch the evergreens with peat moss
after first thoroughly soaking the soil.

a marvellous capacity for self propaga-

THE GARDEN CLUBS.

Following the usual custom most Of
the local garden clubs have suspended
activities until September or at least
until the time for gladiolus shows in
August. The Community Garden Club
OF Rockville is a notable exception,
maintaining its program at normal
throughout the entire growing season.
The Rockville club met June "a at the
home of the president, Mrs. B. T. FL
more, in Alta Vista. The assisting
hostess was Miss Beulah Dove. The
guest speaker was DR.. J. B. S. Norton
of the University of Maryland.
A proposed new organization OF local
garden clubs was discussed by mem
bers and guests, including Mrs. Alex
ander, president of the Bethesda Gar
den Club and one of the committee
working on the proposed conference.
The next meeting of the Rockville
club will take the form of the annual
club picnic in the gardens of Mrs.
George Ninas at Gaithersburg.

THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN.

Tomatoes, sweet corn, eggplants, New
Zealand spinach and other seni-tropi-
cal plants are responding to the hot
days and nights by making rapid
growth and will soon be supplying the
gardeners table. The best way TO
handle tomatoes in the home garden
is on trellises or stakes. The labor
and cost of materials is Offset by easier
care and choicer fruits. The superior
ity Of ome-groWn tomatoes lies in the
fact that only vine-ripened fruits attain
full flavor, the sugar and acids that
go to make quality changing but little
once the tomato is taken from the
plant Sweet corn is about the simplest
vegetable to grow, and, if planted in
fertile soil in full sunlight. is almost
certain to weld a crop in this region.
Were it not for the corn ear worm,
which enters the ears before maturity,
sweet corn would be an ideal home
garden vegetable The yellow sweet
corns are particularly desirable because
OF their superior sweetness. New Zea-
land spinach, so named for its native
home is not true spinach, but a
trailing herb, the tender shoots Of which
are edible 1t is worthy of place in
the larger vegetable garden because of
Its cut and come again character and
the fact that is thrives when the true
spinach cannot Withstand the heat
One should not attempt to grow the
cool weather vegetables in Midsummer,
but should plan the garden so that corn
and tomatoes and other true Summer
plants have sway at that time. Cucum-
bers. squash, muskmelons, watermelons,
Lima beans and sweet potatoes may
also be grouped in the hot-weather
class.

DAHL4A CARE.

Assuming that the dahlias are now
|wel above ground. their care becomes
Ia matter of stalking, pruning and fer
tilizing. Generally speaking, it pays to
thin the hills to the one strongest stalk,
thus throwing the strength into a single
.stem and making possible the produc-
tion of choice blooms. With the aid
Iof stout stake and soft twine or
Istrips of cloth, the stem should be sup
ported TO prevent blowing over in
storms. Some growers urge the pinch
ing out Of the first flower buds so as to
sdelay blooming until late August. Us
ually each Towering shoot will carry
Ithree terminal sbuds, the central one Of
which, being stronger, should be saved
land the two laterals pinched out when
livery small Shoots appearing later in
5the axis Of the leaves of this Towering
sstem should also be pinched out until
perhaps only the lowest pair are left to
FORM late blooms. However, for the
Ndahlia grower who is not particularly
interested in quality of each bloom but
&cares chiefly for quantity of bloom, dis
budding and disbranching are of less
importance. Single fiowered forms are
BARELY disbudded.
The dahlia plant makes a rapid sue
fculent growth that requires abundant
MaCer ana nutrients and full sunlight.
#Cultivation Of the surface soil favors
ther growth by keeping down weeds
2and allowing aeration of the soil.
&Hilling, as practiced by some growers,
Is OF doubtful value A large handful Of
eheep manure placed about the plant
after the buds have formed is benefi-
Hcial except in unusually fertile soil.
The dahlia is outstanding in its free
dom from disease and insect pests, but
Tthere are number of so-called virus
2diseases that are becoming a problem
SIt is safe policy to dig ont and de-
Fstroy plants that are badly dwarfed
AS to varieties. reliable authorities
state that upward Of 10000 varieties
have been named and offered for sale,
each year bringing out 200 TO 300 nov
Helties. About the only sensible way to
build up a choice collection is to attend
tine Autumn dahlia shows sponsored by
the various garden clubs and make up
a list according to ones own prefer

IRIS PLANTING.

July is the best month for planting
39ris-that is, the ordinary garden kind.
.The plants have recovered from the
task of Towering and are in prime
condition to form strong clumps Home
gardeners who have planned purchasing
new varieties may well do so now. The
:iris is a peculiar plant in that its roots
do best if set very shalloWly, virtually
on top of the soil In fact, if one
swere to throw piece of iris down on
the soil, it would root. Soft rot of the
IfleShy roots causes much loss in local
gardens and once in a elump is diff
Ecult to control About the only pro-
1cedure is to lift and separate the clumps
cutting out the rotted portions and re-
setting in a new spot. Dipping the
roots in a disinfecting solution-such
sas used for treating gladiolus corms
lor potato tubers-will help check the
disease. The iris is one of the three
|or four finest home garden flowers and
merits some attention despite its recog-
'hized capacity for self care.

JUNE FLOWERS.

Late June is often an empty stage in
the flower garden, an interval between
sSpring perennials and the Summer an
2nuals. Last week mention was made Of
1.-THE useful function of lilies at this sea-
sson. The Regal lilies since then have
reached their height and justified the
faith of those who purchased bulbs. If
the home gardener is not in too much
haste, this lily can be produced easily
Rfrom seed.
The old-fashioned hollyhock has been
the glory Of many June garden, de-
spite the fact that it is almost weed
where once established There are
many named varieties that may be pur-
Hchased from nurseries, but there is also
considerable fascination in simply
growing plants from seed or merely dig
Hging up and transplanting a few Of the
Hmultitudinous seedlings that spring up
Pm the vicinity of old plants. The holly
mock begins to flower in its second year.
Home gardeners may have noticed that
The lower leaves tend to drop off while
The plants are yet in bloom. This de-
foliation is the result of fungous at
back which may be checked by spray
ing the young plants with Bordeaux
Rmixture in early Spring.
The early hydrangeas were never
better in this vicinity than they are at
present, offering a riot of color where
grown in clumps of several plants The
intense blue appeals to many gardeners
hnd may be aecentuated and main
fained by supplying the plants with
Rluminum sulphate solution formed by
dissolving one ounce of commercial
substance in one gallon of water and
applying to the soil about the plants a
Few times each growing season. This
Riquid keeps the soil acid, which in turn
promotes the blue color The pink
shades, on the other hand, may be
maintained by supplying the plants
with lime. Plants which are partially
blue and partially pink may be changed
In the direction desired by following the
hbove suggestion.
H Abelia grandif1ora, just commencing
10 bloom, is a lovely shrub more par
kicularly because of its reddish green
Foliage. Tie flowers, despite the species
name, are numerous inconspicuous, but
very numerous and lorg continued.
