The Garden
Department
BY Ferdinand Wiener

Every spring, good many flower
seeds are sown in vain, the young
plantlets or seedlings are lost thru
"damping OFF," The seeds come up
apparently nicely, when suddenly
they begin to dwindle away, until
all are gone. This Is due to fun
gus known as "damping off," This
is due to many causes. The soil
may have been kept too moist, or
in a too high a temperature. Some
times an insect traverses q row of
sown seeds just when they are
swelling and softening, devouring
every seed.
A change Of temperature either
chills or softens the seedlings,
causing the fungus to germinate,
covering the soil with microsco-
pic web, attacking the tender
stems at the ground, causing them
to fall over and die.
This can be overcome by run
ming the blade Of a pen-knife be-

tween the rows, cultivat'ng the
surface daily, being careful that
the tender baby plants are not
over-watered. They may be hard
ened by prudently withholding wa
ter for a certain period.
Placing fine, unburned coal dust
among the plantlets is also bene-
ficial. Lime sulphur may also be
used, but use 1t with care and
sparingly. Little plants should be
watched carefully for "dampiny"
off,"
Sometimes when plants are wat
cred too freely, the soil pores be-
come clogged, the drainage Is inn
paired, and the soil turns sour.
This encourages the propagation
OF small black and white flies To
overcome this condition, let the
soil become so dry that the plants
begin to wilt, then water with lime
water, a little hotter than the hand
will bear. Two or three such treat
ments will sweeten the soil, be-
sides prompting the health Of the
plants. If possible, repot the plants
in fresh soil. as early as it Is con-
venient to do SO.
Green flies are sometimes found
among the house plants. They may
be kept away by placing chopped
tobacco over the soil. But If the
plants are already infested, they
may be destroyed by applying hot
tobacco, tea or water in q fine
spray over the foliage. Be careful
that 1t Is not hotter than the fol-
fage will bear. Some plants have
more tender foliage than others.
Try some new perennials each
season. One perennial that ds worth
planting more Is one Of the peren-
NAL Mulleins; this variety Is pro-
perly q biennial. Ut Is Verbascum
Phoeniceum hybridum, growing
three to five feet tall, good for the
mixed border, or to give accent In
a background. The leaves are large
and covered with hairs, the plants
grow up in spires, which bear flow
ers Of white, violet, rose, blue, pur-
pie and various shades in between.
Blooms from June to August, and
prefers a little shade, where the
flowers open better than in the
open sun. Does well dn almost any
soil, except one that is wet. Some
times endures for several years,
but Is more often a biennial, like
many of the Mulleins are.
