NEW YORK, July 14.-Some
day when transatlantic airplane
trip has become a much more
casual event than it is now, soar
ing travellers may hail not one but
two Lindberghs as blazers of their
trail.
For Anne Morrow Lindbergh,

The first time the Lindberghs
flew together with Anne as navi-
gator was in April, 1880, when the
colonel was testing the theory that
greater speed could be made in
high attitudes. She held the d.
rection by means of sextant sights

and the flight. was made in the
record time of Id hours, IS
minutes.
In 1891 they made their air
journey to japan and China, and
on this flight she became more pro-
ficient as radio operator. Her
skill as navigator was increased by
this knowledge.

Political deals were limited and

Apparently the origin of the I'M

A Republican View
Republican iobholders fear that
there is more TO this house inves-

part of democrats to tighten up
the civil service law as regards
state quotas.
At the time the investigation

Of more striking appearance, 1t would
seem desirable to utilize the latter as
garden subjects.
Soil in which azaleaS are to be grown
should not be lined, as these plants are
distinctly acidloving in nature and
thrive best where the soil Is markedly
acid. A glance at the native environ
ment shows azaleas to thrive when an
accumulation of rotted leaves and twigs
covers the surface of the soil. Hence
woods soil makes a desirable mulch to
place about newly set plants. Peat
moss, when untreated by the addition
of fertilizers or other amendments, is
also very useful in azalea culture. Some
years ago the American Horticultural
Society published bulletin, Effects of
Aluminium Sulphate on Rhododendrons, -
In which was suggested the watering at
weekly intervals of rhododendrons and
azaleas with solution Of one ounce of
aluminium sulphate in gallon of water
where growth was not satisfactory. Or
dinary commercial fertilizers must be
avoided, as most of them contain lime
in some form or other However, a lit
tie well rotted barnyard manure should
be beneficial, especially if supplemented
with the aluminium sulphate.
Azaleas developed or introduced in
recent years are rapidly gaining a
prominent place in local lawns and bor-
ders. especially since they have been
handled as small-Sized plants by many
stores. Some of these new varieties are
not as hardy as the native species, but,
nevertheless. are worth a trial because
OF their brilliant showing in early
Spring. They are particularly effective
when associated with evergreens to give
them a background of green foliage.
Evening star., 1933-05-14
RHODODENDRONS

One reason why people fail with rho
dodendrons is because they try to apply
the same system of culture as they do
to their other shrubs and garden
plants. The suggestion is made that
rhododendrons should never be cult
waited because Of their habit of putting
out fine feeding rootlets close to the
surface. In place of cultivation a
mulch of leaf mold and peat moss to
which has been added a little old de-
composed manure is suggested. Each
year this mulch must be renewed The
ordinary garden fertilizers, such as bone
meal, SuperphoSphate, wood ashes and
fresh manure should never be applied.
Concerning need of shade, thousands
of rhododendrons taken from the South
erp mountains each year are planted
in the open with the result that they
take on starved. unkempt appearance
Other varieties are more tolerant and
do well in sunlight. Shelter from Sc
we're north and west winds is also given
as a desirable condition, statement
borne out by the fact that nat plants
are usually found in woody ravines
Hardy varieties are reds, Charles Dick

VEGETABLE GROWING

The cold Spring rains are altogether
unfavorable to lima beans, melons,
squash and other so-called tropical
vegetables, the seeds. if planted, simply
rotting in the soil. One successful way
to handle these crops Is to SOW the seed
in soil placed in strawberry baskets or
other small receptacles placed in the
hot bed or before the window of a warm
cellar. In this way one may have strong
young plants for setting out In the gar
den when the conditions become favor
able. Various covering devices made of
glass or other translucent material have
been patented for protecting newly set
plants. In fact, one can make simple
boxes covered with pane of glass de-
signed to protect a single hill As a rule
little is gained by such devices in this
climate because the growing seasons. al
though now and then somewhat tardy
in arriving at favorable condition. are
always long enough to ripen crops.
The damp weather has favored such
plants as peas and cabbage, provided
they have emerged from the soil. On
the other hand, certain pests, such as
snalls and aphids, have been unusually
abundant, and the former. particularly
have caused considerable injury to
plants, such as radish, strawberry, etc
There is little gained and often much
harm done by working clay soil when
wet, SO that in general the vegetable
gardener will be farther ahead in the
end if he does not attempt to plant
and cultivate under unfavora BILE con-
ditions. Once clay soil becomes cloddy
it generally remains that way until
softered by another Winter of freezing
and thawing.

TULIP MOSAIC

Some home gardeners may not realize
that when their tulips start to change
color Unexpectedly they are encounter
ing q real menace to tulip culture
When these color alterations were first
noticed in Europe they were considered
highly desirable and the resulting forms
were given distinct variety names. Now
that it is known that the phenomenon
Is the result Of disease. the attitude OF
mind is altogether changed and the in
formed gardener views with consider
able alarm the appearance of bizarre
Colors.
1t is pretty well established that
apflids figure strongly in the spread of
the disease, that IS suck out the juices
of diseased plants and transfer the in
lection to healthy plants, where it passes
into the roots and is there held over
until the following year. Obviously one
way to slow down the spread of the
trouble would be to destroy the aphidS
while young This can be done by
pyrethrum soap solutions. There is.
however. another hazard, namely. that
of transferring the disease by the hands
when picking the blooms.
One fortunate aspect of the problem
Is the low prices of tulip bulbs. which in
late years have been unusually reason
able. There are apparently few sources
of disease-free stocks. The tulip grower
who can guarantee bulbs to be free of
mosaic should be in a desirable posi-
tion in the trade. With the disease SO
strikingly marked there will be no way
to avoid detection at blooming time
There is no way to determine the pres
ence of the disease in the bulb before
planting.

EARLY PERENNIALS

Herbaceous perennials are popular
among local home gardeners at this
season as the iris comes into bloom.
In many ways the perennials are highly
satisfactory. combining hardness, early
blooming and great beauty. Now aqui
legia or columbine is reaching full
bloom and adding to the beauty Of
border paintings. Most Of the peren-
mails are readily multiplied by seed and,
when one obtains desirable plant, by
simple division of that plant. Colum-
bine offers an interesting study because
of the remarkable diversity in form
and color of flowers from seeding
plants. Long spurred hybrids. con-
sidered by many gardeners as the
acme Of desirability in the aquilegia, are
by no means certain even in the choic-
est seed. In fact, the tendency seems
to be backward toward the wild forms
In the rock garden. the perennia-s
contribute an ecrly display Of color; for
example. how often one sees Phlox sub
ulata and Arabs presenting a bold dis
play of bloom before some Of the later
species have even exhibited buds.

GARDEN NOTES

Despite the cool nights and excess
OF moisture, trees and towering shrubs
are blossoming little later than usual
The length of the day is an important
factor in controlling the time of bloom
ing OF many species of plants.
The Towering trees have been un-
usually beautiful this year and have
held their blooms much longer than
in warmer seasons. Bechtel's double
Towering crab, now just passing, has
been unusually fine. its flesh-pink
blooms closely resembling roses Too
pruning or fertilizer, with the result
that it produces too many blossoms,
some of which fail to Open
Plant lice are numerous on the ten
der foliage of roses and are doing
much harm to the young shoots and
bower buds. There are several effective
materials for removing these obnoxious
pests. including tobacco preparations,
pyrethrum dusts and soaps. The main
thing is to rid the plants promptly Of
these soft-bodied parasites. The to-
bacco extracts are offered for sale by
most seed. hardware and drug stores.
Clematis is usually thought of as q
Summer bloomer. but the anemone
f1or'c"ed form, Montana undulata, now
in full bloc. is considered by many as
the best of the c.rly Spring Towering
climbers. The white flushed mauve
blooms are attractive. coming as they do
before the climbing roses.
Much has been said about the merits
of Fall and Spring planting of hardy
plants in this locality. Most gardeners,
after few years experience come to
the conclusion that Autumn is by far
the better season. There is real rea-
son for this, as the root system has
time during Winter to adjust itself to its
task of supplying moisture and food
Fall planted roses. dug in Midwinter,
often show tender white rootletS.
