HARDY PINKS

Many gardeners have a soft spot in
their hearts for the hardy pinks, backed
by memories of their mothers gardens
in some instances and because of the
inherent fine qualities of the plants.
AS stated in one catalogue. DianthuS is
a magnificent genus, producing flowers
of unusual fragrance, of great variety
and in unusual profuSion. The plants
are excellent for edging hardy borders
and for supplying cut flowers for the
home. Some of the double flowered
varieties resemble closely the green
house carnations except in size OF
grown from seed or may be purchased
as plants of known varieties. Seed sown
at this time will supply bloom next
Spring and for several succeeding
Sweet William Is q near relative OF
the hardy pinks, the flower heads con-
siSing of many blooms closely COM
pacted together Like its relative, the
Glove pink, the Sweet William Is very
fine for cutting In this latitude, best
success may be had by growing some
new plants each year as the old Sweet
William plants, after blooming, seem
to be unable to Withstand with great
success our long, dry Summers. 1t Is
fact that Washington Summers are
severer tests for many plants than are
our Winters
Some years ago, there was brought
to this country species of perpetual
Towering hardy pinks known as DIAN
thus Atwood with varieties carrying
names such as Harold. Jean, Betty,
Mary and Robert. Although beautiful,
these do not seem to have adequate
stamina to Withstand our local Sum-
nnerS

WINTER VEGETABLES

Some gardeners set aside a definite
portion of their vegetable garden for
the so-called Winter vegetables, such
as parsnips, satisfy, beetS, carrots and
kale This plan Is good since time OF
planting may then be timed so that
the vegetables will be in good quality
when growth ceases in the Autumn
For example, beets sown early cannot
be otherwise than woody and tough for
Winter use but If sown in August are
excellent for storing. However, there
is one handicap in late planting and
that Is that August Is frequently too
dry to permit termination unless one
can wet the soil artificially.
Fortunately for local gardeners, the
Winter period is relatively short and
with kale, cabbage and spinach living
over Winter, there is not the acute
need for vegetables to store that there
is farther North. In mild Winters pars-
nips and satisfy may be dug at any
time, and, practically speaking, the
garden enterprise never completely
closes.
The most important Winter vegetable,
the potato has not been mentioned
In this locality, white potatoes for
Winter use may best be planted about
July 4. The crop will then mature in
October and be In much better condi-
ton for Winter keeping and eating,
The white potato Is a marvellous food
producer, but must be supplanted with
other type vegetables to give rounded
out diet. This species cannot be ig-
nored, however. when it comes to a
matter Of quantity production of nu-
tritious food.

the growing season. In shrubs one can
observe tendency to draw away from
the Spring blooming group and include
others such as abelia, Grape myrtle,
butterfly bush and hydrangeas which
blossom in the Summer and tend to
round out the season. For cut flowers,
one can tide over the period between
Spring perennials and Summer ANIMALS
by including such plants as Japanese
iris and hollyhocks and by increasing
the number and variety of monthly
blooming roses. Ordinarily June and
early July constitute a difficult period
in the flower producing program
Pauls Scarlet Climber is a wonderful
rose of the moderate or pillar climbing
habit. One of its best qualities is the
durability of the flowers, which last
for several days. Contrasted with Chri-
tine Wright, Emily Gray and some of
the earlier climbers which shed their
petals in a day or two, Paul's Scarlet
is remarkable improvement. Climb
ing roses are easier to grow than the
bush types and vastly more productive
of blooms. 1t Is little wonder that
they gain yearly in popularity.
Peat moss Is an excellent material
N the home garden and is especially
fine for blending with stiff clays. One
enterprising gardener uses peat moss
as bedding in his poultry house and
then spreads it on his flower beds with
excellent results. Manufacturers are
already combining peat moss with COM
mercial fertilizer and it would appear
that peat moss is here to stay
Prof. Lumsden, at the May meet
ing of the Takoma Horticultural Club
in replying to a question as to the best
time of year for making rose cuttings
stated that late Autumn is most satis-
factory because with cooler weather the
cuttings do not heat too strongly un-
der the glass jars and also the wood Is
more mature. However, Mr.. Lumsder
added that cuttings may be made al
any time just after Towering. Many
desirable roses have been started from
the stem cutting left after petals have
fallen. Whatever may be said in favor
Of budded roses. there are thousands
Of roses in this locality that were orig
mated as cuttings.
1t Is well to remove the seed pods
from columbine If one wishes to keeu
the plants for another year and also tc
prevent incidentally the myriad OF
seedlings which usually arise near the
old plants

THE LAWN

This has been an ideal Spring for
lawns, new or old, but the real test is
near at hand with crab grass germinat-
ing rapidly and the possibility of hot,
dry weather within short while. Crab
grass seems to appear from nowhere, to
fill in all bare spots and crowd out blue
and other desirable grasses where they
grow weakly. Some gardeners do not
at all dislike crab grass, but few gard
eners would admit a preference for the
species above blue grass.
The Department of Agriculture, in a
recent press bulletin, suggested that the
logical way to suppress crab grass is to
invigorate the better species. Blue grass
goes into semi-dormancy with the hot
weather. but If not cut too closely at
this time is still able to hold its own
with weed grasses. 1t is suggested that
the mower be set to a maximum cutting
height so as to leave the grass two or
more inches tall.
There is some indication that crab
grass cannot endure shade and that the
blue grass blades, If cut high, offer
sufficient shade to prevent its ready
development. Feeding the good grasses
is highly important and it Is advisable
to supply nutrients two or three times
in the growing season, most important
Of all in March and early September,
when the flushes of blue grass growth
are starting. Indications are that So
called complete fertilizer Is best because
it supplies nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash, all three of which are essential
in this locality. Whether or not there
is direct association. it is fact that
the most wonderful blue grass region
in the world, Central Kentucky, is pro-
vided with soil very rich in PHOSPHORUS
The sooner the home gardener feeds his
grass as faithfully as he does his
flowers, the sooner he will have fine
lawns. Some gardeners take the trouble
to weed out crab grass, plant by plant,
but this is difficult task and it would
be far more practical to resort to care
full preparation in the beginning and
liberal feeding thereafter.

SPRAYING PRACTICES

The Takoma Horticultural Club, In
news lstter distributed to members,
recently called attention to the fact
that because of the many different pests
and spraying materials there exists
more or less confusion in the mind Of
the everyday gardener as to spraying
| practice. 1t is entirely possible that a
| spray or dust which will kill one species
of insect will have no effect on another.
Arsenate of lead, for example, is an
excellent material for control of leaf
eating insects, but of no value ON
| aphids because of their peculiar habit
! of thrusting their beaks directly into
] the plants tissues when feeding.
! Insects may be classified into ma jor
groups according to their feeding habits
| Cd leaf eating. (2) sap sucking and 90
, borers. The treatment for each group
; is entirely distinct. AS suggested, arsen-
! ateS and Paris green are useful in con-
F., troll Of leaf-eating pests; tobacco and
pyrethrum extracts control sucking
types, such as the aphids, while for the
borers treatments with gases are coming
| into successful use.
| Somewhat the same story can be told
! for plant diseases. Leaf and fruit
| spots and such surface troubles usually
| yield to copper sprays. such as Bor-
deaux mixture or to dilute lime sulphur
mixture, while interior troubles, such
as aster wilt, must be attacked from a
different angle, namely, that Of select
ing resistant strains Of plants or, in
many cases, by preventing insects from
| carrying the disease from plant to
plant.
Fortunately there are not a great
many major pests in local gardens.
Chief among the insect troubles one
would place aphids which live on prac-
tically all plants, but which yield rela-
lively easily to tobacco extracts. Leaf
eating insects are relatively uncommon
! except in the vegetable garden Plant
diseases are prevalent on certain species,
such as the rose, but it is pretty well
established that black spot and mildew
can be controlled with sulphur dusts
applied regularly and thoroughly.
