The Home Gardener
Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for
Beautifying Surroundings of the Home.

practical to delay cutting until Spring,
when the buds are expanded and show
clearly.
Peat moss is a very good medium for
packing about the roots in the storage
boxes and under dry conditions will
help prevent rapid loss Of water. Pos
sibly more roots are lost from over
drying than from freezing.
The dahlia is fascinating plant
and when one secures very attractive
variety he desires to keep and increase
his stock. Both objectives are easily
attainable with little foresight and
care.
Scale Insects.
CCALE insects are one Of the most
- serious pests with which the home
owner has to contend because they
protect themselves with an armor of
wax through which the ordinary aphis
sprays, such as nicotine sulphate and
light Summer oils, cannot penetrate
Sprays strong enough to dissolve or
loosen the wax cannot be used in
Summer because Of the injury that
would result to the foliage, but after
the leaves drop In late Fall these may
be successfully brought into action.
Among tree fruits, cherries, peaches
and pluns are particularly susceptible
to attack by scale insects and, among
ornamentals, Towering cherries and
japanese ounces are often injured DR..
H. T. Fernald. In his book, Applied
Entomology" states that about 1000
species Of scale insects are known, at
tacking nearly all kinds of trees and
shrubs. A few are beneficial, including
those which yield cochineal dye and
the wax used in making shellac.
To the unframed eye. the scales may
not be evident and their presence may

closely resembling ants. = About the
only remedy would be substitute metal
or concrete for the wood containers.
Spraying would be Of no avail because
the pests are within the plant and any
material with which one might success
fully treat the soil would necessarily
be sufficiently strong to kill the plants.
However, when one discovers the pest
present about the premises, it is.vell to
make q close examination to see that
no other damage Is underway -

laco,,co sc choroc ct arieficc orc

TINE rose seems to lend itself very
we'll to the requirements Of the
new plant patent law, perhaps
i because its characteristics are
usually rather clearly marked
and distinctive. At least there are
several very promising and compare
lively new varieties that have been reg
istered by their propagators. Outstand-
ing among these are Blaze, an ever
blooming counterpart Of Paul Scarlet
Climber, and New Dawn, an all-SeaSon
Towering form Of DR.. w. Van Fleet.
Countess Vandal, an everblooming hy-
brid tea bush rose Of blended gold and
pink color. has proved q great winner
at some OF the largest flower shows this
year. Visitors at the horticultural ex-
position at the Century of Progress
commented on its beauty. Golden
climber of real yellow hue.
With the patent, there go certain re-
strictions on general propagation that
tend to hold up final cost to the pur-
chaser. However, in the long run the
rose grower should benefit because bet
ter returns to the originator are certain
to stimulate breeders to greater effort
The average home gardener desires
beautiful roses that will grow on plants
with foliage as sturdy as the oak.
Dahlia Roots.
A s THE advent Of frost is about due
IA now, the preservation Of dahlia
roots over the Winter becomes
necessary. In protected locations dahlia
roots may not be killed by Winter
freezing, but no grower with valuable
varieties should take chance on this
method Of storage. In many cases. the
roots may be disappointing in quality
this season because of the storm in
August. Moisture causes the roots to be
soft and special care will be needed to
carry the stock through the Winter
The dahlia seems to have much the
same storage needs as the white po-
tato, that is. low temperature, SO
degrees to 40 degrees F.. and consid-
cradle humidity in the air Obviously
the usual hot, dry cellar is not the
place for dahla roots. Neither can
they be placed where they will freeze
or be constantly wet. A cool root cellar
is ideal, especially If provided with
shelves where baskets of roots can be
placed
When the plant is dug the stalk or
stalks should be cut of about inches
above the crown and the clump in
verted so that moisture in the hollow
stems can run off. Just as with pota-
toes, it would be well to select bright
day for digging and to permit the roots
to lie IN the sun until fairly dry on
the surface. The soil should be shaken
from the roots and the clumps gath
cred into baskets carefully labeled to
prevent disappointment later.
The dubious roots must not be
separated from the crown for the
simple reason that there are no buds
on the roots themselves but are located
on the base Of the old crown Here
comes question as to the advisability
Of cutting the clump apart in Autumn
or early Spring. Some professional
growers do cut in Autumn, but for the
home gardener it is perhaps more
