 IS ON LAST TRAIL

Advices from Nome tell of the passing on May 26 of August Holm berger, He was well known car spenter, building contractor and mining man and first went to Nome during the 1900 gold rush days and remained in that section ever since. He went outside last fall to spend the winter. He had a block of mining ground at the head of Newton Gulch, within a few miles of Nome, which en- gineers were to pass on this sum- mer. The property is well known and will probably be big producer when modern machinery is used to extract the gold.

enemies Of their own that help
greatly in suppression. For instance,
certain lady beetles feed on aphids.
Other insects lay their eggs IN larger
forms. This so-called biological con-
troll explains why certain harmful in
sects rarely reach epidemic propor-
tions.
Garden Tools.
GONE gardeners buy too many dif-
y ferent tools, while others fail to
take advantage Of the labor saving
devices that may be found in many
of the larger supply stores. A wheel
hoe or cultivator is a very helpful
tool for use in the large suburban
garden, particularly where vegetables
are grown as we'll as flowers. Wheel
hoes are relatively inexpensive and
enable the gardener to cover mucn
larger area with much less effort than
is possible with an old-fashioned hoe.
Many times local soils are in prime
condition for tillage only for a lew
hours. With effective tools. one can
take full advantage Of favorable OPP
portunities. Weeds, as any veteran
gardener knows, are easy to control
when just terminating and frequent
tillage at that stage will not only
control weeds most effectively. but
actually reduce the hard labor con-
nected with hand wedding. For small
gardens which scarcely justify wheel
type cultivators, there are hoes with

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

sirable In gardening as well as other
lines Of activity, but it is well to
proceed slowly, especially in selection
of materials for the permanent plant
ings, such as screen the foundations
of the home Blank spaces due to
the killing of tender species are
source of disappointment to any home
owner.
MYTH the warmer weather, insect
" life gains momentum and the
gardeners problems become
naturally more acute. Unfortunately,
different types of insects vary so
greatly in their structure and feeding
habits that no one spraying or busting
material will control them all. The
aphidS now appearing on the tender
foliage of roses and other garden
plants cannot, for example. be checked
by a spraying of stomach poison,
such as arsenate of lead, because they
feed by drawing out the plants sap.
which is not reached by the lead.
Nicotine and pyrethrum compounds
kill aphids readily, simply by contact
with their bodies, and are, therefore.
very effective in their control Con-
centrated forms of nicotine and py-
rethrum, prepared under different
trade names, may be secured from
the garden supply stores. These two
materials are practically useless for
leaf-eating insects.
Arsenate of lead and Paris green
are the effective incesticides for con-
trolling leaf eaters Other insects,
such as cutworms, present still other
difficulties, for even though young
cabbage or tomato plant were covered
with poison it is likely that the cut
worm, because of its rapid work, would
destroy the plant before it was poi
soned. Insect workers have developed
a poison mash for distribution near
the plants in early evening. Inls
mash, sweetened with sugar or mo-
lasses and poisoned with a little
Paris green, is very attractive to cut
worms and, In most cases. destroys
them before they reach the young
garden plants.
In years of severe droughts red
spiders do a great deal Of harm to
evergreens and other plants. Nor
mally these spiders are pretty well
controlled by rains that wash them
off. In fact, the greenhouse grower
often controls them simply by spray
ing the plants with water. This year
promises to present no serious RED
spider problem. OF recent years
there have appeared in the garden
supply stores certain proprietary in
secticides which are combination OF
different substances and which are
designed to control the several types
OF insects at one application. Such
materials are worthy OF trial.
The fact should be mentioned that
many harmful insects have insect

Garden Notes
,~ROCUSES, snowdrops, scillas and
II x!.. t.,,fLa,,e &c oro

CROCUSES, snowdrops, scillas and
other tiny dubious plants are
often driven from the lawn by
failure to recognize the fact that their
foliage is vital to their future welfare
after the time of Towering has passed
Too often the lawn mower cuts away
the foliage while it is still vigorously
green and supplying food to the bulbs.
In consequence, there is gradual
weakening of the plants, and shortly
they disappear.
Forget-me- e-nots occur in many diff
ferent species with different times OF
blooming. It is possible to have these
tiny flowers of brilliant blue IN the
Garden from early Spring to Autumn.
Some kinds spread so rapidly that
they become weeds, but others are
more restricted in habit. Some live
only one year, but seed so freely that
there is no difficulty in maintaining
the stock.
Narcissus rarely has stayed so long
IN flower as it did this year, due to
the protracted period OF cold, wet
weather. which acted much as If the
blooms had been placed in cool stor-
age. Even in ordinary years there is
a long spread from golden spur to
the latest poets. The unusual season
caused lots of worry to the garden
club exhibitors.
With the rapid increase in white
ants or termites it scarcely pays to
purchase wooden posts for the garden
fence or grape arbor, but it is much
better to use galvanized iron posts
set in a mass of coarse concrete to
give them stability and permanence.
Although many home gardens boast
q grape vine or two, few home gar
deners give the crop any serious at
tention other than pruning. AS a
result the fruit is often disappointing
because of worms and rots. One or
two sprayings in early Spring would
do much to insure worthwhile crops
of grapes A combination spray of
bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead
applied as the young shoots emerge
is highly effective in killing the young
worms before they enter the berries.
A second spray of the same materials
should follow the dropping of the
flower caps. Spray materials ready
for diluting with water may be pur-
chased from garden supply stores.
Bordeaux contains copper for destroy
ing spores of disease and the arsenate
of lead, arsenic for destroying the tiny
worms. Applied so early in the growth
period, there is plenty of opportunity
for rain to wash off the spray residues
before ripening time.
Although one usually thinks of or
chlds as the delicate flowers of the
greenhouse, there are several species
growing in the wilds. For example,
the pink lady slipper or moccasin
flower is a true orchid and there are
several less snowy species. The lady
slipper, like the trailing arbutus. suf-
fers from too eager flower gatherers.

i've cultivator teeth that may be
pulled through the rows.
Deep tillage Is of no advantage for
most garden plants and, in fact, often
is harmful through injury to the
feeding roots. A small hand weeder
with three or more teeth is very useful
in the tillage of bedded plants. 1t
takes q lot more courage and perse-
verance to carry the garden through
the Summer than it does to start
operations in the Spring and wise
choice Of implements may well be
the deciding factor between ultimate
success and failure.
Soil Diseases.
TTOME gardening is in some re-
II spects more complex than farm
ing. In the first place, the
home gardener attempts to grow a
much greater number of different
kinds of plants and again, by using
the same soil year after year, there
is a much greater upbuild Of plant
diseases that live in the soil. China
asters and sweet peas are two Of the
uilAOl tuiloOC oPCClCS. OclpIlulluIIl OT
larkspur is another difficult species
because Of disease that lives in the
soil. This accumulation of disease
explains in part why a new home
owner will succeed with certain spe-
cies for q year or two and then fail
despite knowledge gained from ex-
perience. Some progress has been
made in breeding asters resistant to
soil diseases and garden peas resistant
to root rot. Such progress suggests
hope that in time such seed will be
readily available for all susceptible
species.
Treating the soil with formaldehyde
solution has given favorable results
with certain crops, but it is only q
matter of time when reinfection oc-
ours and the treatment must be re-
peated. There are so many different
Evening star., 1935-05-11

kinds OF flowers and vegetables that
it Is usually more practical, when the
soil become diseased, to abandon the
culture Of the affected species. Un-
fortunately, it seems that some Of
our most desirable flowers are most
susceptible to soil disease organisms.
Early Vegetables.
T OCAL gardens may be so managed
as to supply some kind of vege-
table every month of the year,
including Winter. Parsnips and SAL
sify left in the soil in late Autumn
may be dug during the Winter, and
kale and spinach planted III October
will furnish crops in April, before
Spring -sown radishes, onions and let
tuce reach edible size. Head lettuce
may be grown successfully in our 10
cality only as an early Spring crop,
for once the hot weather comes in
June the plants will not form solid
heads. For certain success, head let
tuce should be Sown In a cold frame
and the plants set in the soil in late
April or early May. In well fertilized
soil, strong plants Will grow raploly
and form nice heads. Beets, Spring
sown spinach, Swiss chard and early
cabbage will help bridge over the late
Spring period prior to beans and early
Summer squash.
Garden peas are usually successful
only if rotated from one point Of the
garden to another, so that two o.
three elapse between paintings in one
location. Otherwise the soil becomes
surcharged with certain decay organ
isms that attack the roots and cause
the plants to turn yellow prematurely
With the exception of one or two Tom
Thumb type varieties. garden peas
do much better when grown on chick
en- wire or on brush. Grown erect,
the vines yield better and culture Is
greatly facilitated. All vegetables are
at their best when grown rapidly, and

In the history of Fairfax County and
real estate transfers for the first
four months of the year up 159 from
the comparable period in 1884, re-
turning prosperity for the county is
foreseen by many.
Although the county has no build
ing permit ordinance that requires the
listing of new construction work or
repairs with any governmental de-
partment, an official in the Office of
James U. Kincheloe, commissioner of
revenue, who has been assessing in
the county for more than 20 years,
at the highest peak he has ever
seen it, with no indications there Will
be an abatement any time soon.
Records Show Increase.
For the first four months Of 1884,
668 deeds, deeds of trust and contracts
were recorded in the Office OF the
county clerk, and fol- the same period
this year the total reached 827, higher
than any recent year. Starting WIN
1853 recordations in January. the num-
Der has steadily climbed each month.
with ITO for February, 240 for March
end 254 for April.
While new homes are going up IN
every part of the county. the greatest
activity Is shown in the Belle Haven
section, near Alexandria; Fort Buffalo.
near Falls Church, and in the vicln-
ity Of Groveton and Franconla. Al
, Fort Buffalo, 20 new houses are under
construction. with approximately the
same number in and near Belle
Haven.
Larger Type Homes.
Departing from the tendency OF the
past several years in building smaller
homes, many of the new ones are OF
a larger type and will probably range
in price from $500 to $4,000. &C
cording to tentative figures from the
Office of the commissioner of reve-
hue.
Much of the latest building actlV-
ity has been attributed to desire OF
many persons living in the city to
move to the country and own their
own homes, where living conditions
are more reasonable. The Federal
Housing Administration, through Its
loans and publicity on home owner
ship and desirable improvements, has
also been credited with a large part
in the building program.

~ERTAIN plants have such a
strong liking for acid soils
that they will turn yellow
~ and remain dwarfed on lined
soil. Such are the rhododen-
drons, the laurels, the blueberries,
certain of the lilies and various less
commonly grown garden plants.
Through centuries Of adaptation the
species have developed an ability to
thrive in acid soils and cannot toler-
ate alkaline soils such as promoted by
lime. Obviously it is mistake to try
to grow these acid loving species in
lined garden soil Woods earth, such
as found in nearby forested areas, Is
generally strongly acid and II sup
piled to rhododendrons and the like
will insure their good growth. The
type of fertilizer used may also modify
the soil acidity and hence, for acid
loving plants. one should use acid
promoting materials, such as ammo
MUM sulphate.
Fortunately, local soils are generally
acid and, unless one has lined. he
may expect to grow rhododendrons
and their like rather successfully.
Peat moss incorporated with the soil
will tend to make it even more acid.
So also will woods earth. Some years
ago the American Horticultural So
ciety published pamphlet on the
value of aluminium sulphate for in
creasing the acidity of the soil, indi-
eating that marked success was OBJ
tanned from treatment of the sur
rounding soil with this chemical. Per-
haps one important lesson to be
learned from this discussion Is that
while lime is very useful in the garden,
it cannot be applied at random to all
inhabitants of the garden.
Reliable Shrubs.
VYyHEN all is said and done the
w average home owner could do
far worse than plant some OF
the old standard shrubs. such as the
spireas. the wiegelias, the deutizias
and the mock oranges. These species
are truly beautiful and suffer chiefly
because they are too easily grown. In
other words, because they are too
common. However, well grown plant
of Van Houtte spirea, with its PEN
dulous branches of sheer white. is
difficult to match in beauty. Lemons
deutzia is another early Spring prize
and is very useful where shrub OF
3 or 4 feet in height is desired. A
we'll grown pink wiegelia has real
beauty. Yet there has been tend
ency to draw away from such old
standards and turn to species Of
doubtful hardness, largely because
of a desire for the new. The severe
freezes of the past two Winters have
done a lot to restore faith in the old
standards. 1t is much as in the case
of roses, where the tendency has been
away from reliable varieties to new
types and varieties. Progress is de-
