THE VEGETABLE $
GARDEN.

Most garden vegetables do best when
planted in the open, away from trees
or from the shade Of buildings. Sweet
corn, for example, will grow in partial
shade, but will set only small and in
ferior ears, and several of the root
crops, such as beets and radishes, will
form no, bulbous roots. Hence 1t is ad-
visable to give the vegetable section of
the garden sunny exposure.
Cutworns have caused considerable
damage to both young vegetable and
flower plants this Spring. True to their
name, these annoying and destructive
worms cut OF the tender plants at
about ground level and, because of their
night working habits, may not be In
evidence the next day when the dam
age is discovered However, IL one re-
moves the soil near the base of the in
1ured plant, the grayish-green worm
will often be discovered just below the
surface. There are many different spe-
ctes OF cutworms, many Of which are
capable OF damaging garden plants, so
the blame cannot be ascribed to any
single type Of worm. Some progress
may be made in fighting the pest by
bran mash near the plants, but this en-
dangers birds and should be covered
in the daytime
Most vegetables will not thrive in
poorly drained soil and for this rea-
son one often finds plants doing very
poorly in spots where water collects
frequently and does not flow away
freely. This fact probably accounts for
the development of vegetable produc-
tion on well-drained, sandy soils. In the
case OF adverse locations there is little
that can be done, except to lay drain
tile at about feet below the surface.
This treatment, however is not often
practical in the small home garden
where the slope is slight and there is
no good opportunity for outflow at a
lower level. There Is one consolation,
that the heavy soils frequently are more
favorable during Summer droughts.
The tomato Is distinctly a hot
weather plant and it is interesting to
note how rapidly 1t responds to the
warmer weather, losing its yellowish
cast and taking on a rich green color.
Tomatoes are one of the best home
garden vegetables. supplying material
for many different uses. In the home
garden, especially. the best way to
grow this choice vegetable Is on a
trellis or on stakes Such practice
permits easy cultivation and spraying
and keeps the fruits off the soil. The
tomato is really an attractive plant,
once the red fruit is developed. It is
an interesting fact that 1t was in
cluded IN American flower gardens
many years before its valuable edible
qualities were recognized

GARDEN NOTES.

There is no better time Of the year
to divide and reset ordinary garden
iris than late June and early July.
At the best, ciumps need dividing
every three years or so In order to
keep the plants In good condition and
the gardener can wen take advantage
of the lifting to spade and re-fertilize
the soil. Most iris varieties increase
badly unless reset. The degree to
which one divides clumps depends on
several conditions, such as freedom
from disease, value Of the variety, etc.
AS rule the clumps separate easily.
The large leaves may well be cut back
half way upon replanting. Bone meal
has proved an excellent fertilizer for
the iris. especially If well worked into
the soil before transplanting.
Canterbury bells are very beautiful
in their many shades of blue and pink
and, blooming a little later than the
bearded iris, columbine and Oriental
in the perennial border. However
Canterbury bells must be staked to
prevent their blowing over in the
storms
A few years ago the Ohio Agricul-
tural Experiment Station reported that
1t was advisable to leave the lawn
clippings where they fall rather than
to gather and remove them Actual
records. taken on growth of grass,
showed thicker and more abundant
growth where trimmings were not re-
moved. OF course, this advice would
apply only where the lawn is clipped
regularly.
One Of the disagreeable pests that
seems to increase with garden improve
ment Is the snail. According to q
Government bulletin, all rotting boards
debris, bricks and other materials which
may serve as hiding places should be

that boiled potato be sprinkled with
Paris green or white arsenic.

THE HOME GARDENER
WATER GARDENS.

Many water gardens are being con-
structed in this locality this year,
sometimes in combination with a rock
garden and sometimes simply as q pool
for water lilies and other aquatic
plants. Generally these pools add
greatly to the beauty of the garden,
but not always so unless an attractive
setting is provided Merely as an ex-
cavation in the back garden, pool
may add little to the home place.
There is much to be said in favor of
pond lilies in their many beautiful
shades Of white. yellow, pink and red
be grown. Water gardens can be neg
lected for week or two of vacation
without serious injury such as may oc-
cur to the usual garden. Furthermore.
If the lilies are of the hardy type and
the pool properly constructed, the
plants may be left for two or three
years without disturbing BY placing
few boards across the pool and COW
ering with mating, Winter protection
is doubly assured.
Mrs. L. Helen Fowler of Kenilworth,
D. c.. emphasizes the Nfact that water
lilies have three major requirements;
rich SOIL She suggests that the pool
should be at least two feet deep with
sides slanting outward at the top to
prevent ice injury. The roots should
be set in wooden boxes, as galvanized
metal containers win harm the plants.
The soil in the boxes should be
strongly enriched with well rotted cow
manure and then after the plant is
set the surface covered with an inch
of sand or gravel to keep the fish
from disturbing the roots and muddy
ing the water. Fish are considered
prerequisite, as they aid materially in
mosquitoes.
A pool may be constructed SO that
it appears althogether natural; that is.
by designing it in. a natural form and
not on geometrical lines, and having
its upper edge Just at or slightly below
the ground level. The planting of
water forget-me-nots, wild rice and
other plants about the border adds fur
ther to the naturalness. If one is able
to do the work himself, the cost of
q pool need not be excessive and will
be more than repaid by the pleasure of
watching it develop into an important
feature Of the home garden enterprise.
A surprising number of lilies may be-
obtained from two or three well-grown
plants.

HOME PROPAGATION.

For many home gardeners, propaga-
tion by cuttings and layers has a
strong fascination With most woody
vines, layering is an easy and sure
way of securing new plants, In this
process a branch is bent down and
covered with SOIL Among. fruits,
grapes and black raspberries are easily
increased in this manner. In the case
of the grape, cane of last years
growth Is laid down and node or two
covered with soil with the tip of the
cane exposed BY the end of Summer,
roots will have put forth from the
buried nodes and the young plant can
then be cut from its parent and re-
planted wherever desired. In the black
raspberries, the tips of new canes buried
few inches In the soil along in Mid
summer root quickly and are ready for
resetting the next Spring. Climbing
roses can be handled In much the
same way as grapes.
Bush roses of the monthly blooming
type are commonly propagated by cut
tings, but often. with disappointing re-
suits because of the. simple fact that
many varieties naturally form weak
root systems. Arguments in favor of
budded roses are that the stocks COM
monty used have vigorous roofing habits
that enable them to take up more food
and water for the plant and also be-
cause of the evergrowing habit of
growth of certain stocks, their use
tends to increase flower production. In
favor of cuttings, it may be rightfully
said that there will be no trouble
from root suckers and furthermore own
rooted plants are less expensive. Rose
varieties differ greatly in inherent vigor
and certain varieties, such as the
Radiances, do about as well propagated
either way. Whatever may be said in
favor of budded roses. it is certain that
home gardeners will continue home
propagation because of the satisfaction
of personally accomplishing the task of
developing new plants

the disease except TO cut OF limbs sew
eral inches fn advance of apparent in
lection. The saw or pruners should be
disinfected after each cut. Since the
causal bacteria live within the tender
inner bark, spraying is absolutely futile
Madonna lilies win shortly be In
bloom Unfortunately, they are not
always success, principally because
they need q wen drained, friable soil.
Some gardeners have learned that
chances for success may be greatly
enhanced by adding considerable sand
to the son In which these lilies are
set
1t is time now that tulips were re-
moved from the soil and, after drying,
separated from the old stem and bulb
remnants and stored IN baskets or paper
sacks in a dry location Narcissus and
hyacinths may be handled In the same
way, but as q rule the narcissus reaches
its maximum beauty if left in the soil
for two or three years without disturb
ing.
Evening star., 1933-06-11
PRUNING ROSES.

After the climbing rose reaches three
or four years Of age, it becomes neces-
sary to cut out one or two of the old
est canes at the base and thus encour-
age the remaining younger and more
vigorous growths. The difference in
age of the canes can readily be told
by observation, the bark of the old
canes being brown, while that of
younger canes is green. Too, the old
canes will be found much more
branched toward the top.
Some gardeners take down all Of
the old plant and then remove the
canes, but this Is even more difficult
than starting at the top and cutting
needs leather gloves when handling
climbing roses and even with this pro-
lection must work rather cautiously.
The sooner this pruning is done after
blooming, the better, as the vine has
more time to recover before another
blooming season.
With certain of the sturdy Wichu-
riana type climbers, such as Silver
Moon and DR.. w. Van Fleet, the old
canes become woody and thick at the
base and a saw will be needed in their
removal Less vigorous growers. such
as Paul's Scarlet climber, require less
pruning, as very often they develop
only one or two new canes a year. As
regards thorns, some day after rose
breeders have solved other pressing
problems, such as securing continuous
blooming and healthy foliage. 1t is
hoped they will turn to breeding for
thornlessness
The old Thousand Beauties is vir-
tually thornless and 1t would seem
feasible to believe that other desirable
roses might be developed without the
vicious thorns. There has been won-
derful progress in climbing roses In the
last decade, but there still Is room for
Improvement, especially in yellow va
rieties. The Potomac Rose Society, an
association of local amateur rosarians,
is doing much to encourage the breed
ing and improvement Of roses and Of
fers source of help to individuals in
terested in this important work.
