Grafton by home gardeners. The
plants are handled in regular garden
form and cultivated. pruned and fer
tilted as with bush fruits, such as
currant or gooseberry. Certain opti-
mists forecast the time when there
will be abundant supplies of cultivated
blueberries and when native fruit
will be used only for canning. The
new varieties of blueberries should
thrive here because Of the acid nature
Of local soils, but there Is need for
more information on their culture on
heavy clay soils before one rushes
into their wholesale growing. It
would be very desirable If home gar
deners would try out a few plants and
thus establish real knowledge as to the
general adaptability to this region. The
cultivated varieties bear much larger
fruits than are found in the wild, but
are not much different in favor. How
ever the larger size favors easier har-
vesting and easier handling by the
housewife.
Garden Notes.
THE Spring season is about gone
and the home garden must now
depend on Summer ANIMALS and the
few Towering perennials for its bloom
and color. ALI In all, despite the
peculiar alienation Of warm and
cool weather, this Spring has yielded
an abundance of flowers to the in
dustrious home gardener.
A very satisfactory group Of plants

whiting Of the leaves and, II one takes
hold of the plant, it will yield with
out effort. One Of the first impulses
on the part of the gardener is to feel
that his iris paintings are doomed, but
this rarely occurs because, as the
leaves die, they open the way for sun
light and air to reach the soil about
the roots of the remaining plants.
However, the rotted root stocks should
be removed from the beds and some
times parts Of plants may be saved
and dipping the remaining portion in
solution Of mercury bichloride, one
part to one-thousand of water. The
season for resetting iris Is at hand
and overcrowded paintings should be
lifted, the strong roots selected for
replanting and the rest discarded.
Summer Rest.
CERTAIN of our early Spring plants
are now preparing to go into
their Summer rest period. The
Oriental poppy the common bleeding
heart and, of course, the narcissus.
tulip and hyacinth are in this class.
Every one of these species was in ac-
ton very early in Spring and Is
simply taking a necessary rest. The
common iris ceases active root
growth directly after blooming,
making the next few weeks very
advantageous time for dividing and
resetting. The Oriental poppy and
the bleeding heart will disappear al
together and the home gardener who
would protect these plants from his
own spade should mark their location
with stakes. Oriental poppies are
difficult to eradicate once they are
fully established because each piece
of root left in the soil will send up a
shoot. For the small home garden,
plants such as Oriental poppy and
peonies take up so much space that it
becomes a question as to the wisdom
Of including them in the paintings.

sponsored by the Woodbridge Garden
Club, working in conjunction with the
National Dahlia Association. This
means that local growers will have a
real opportunity to display their
flowers and that all admirers Of the
dahlia may view the flowers at their
best.
Care of Tulips.
THE tulips may be dug almost any
time now, preferably while the
stems still remain to show the location
of the bulbs. Some gardeners do not
dig at all. but this practice is to be de-
plored because of the habit Of the
tulip in forming two or more bulbs
each year. Without digging, the
smaller bulbs send up leaves and per-
haps flower stalks. giving the beds an
untidy appearance. Digging permits
grading of the bulbs so that only the
large and vigorous 60 back into the soil
again. Since breaking Of flowers has
become so general, these stalks should
have been marked at time Of Towering
and the bulbs discarded at digging
time. In fact, some home gardeners
have reached the point where they
plant only new bulbs received each
Autumn from the Netherlands.
Tulip bulbs should be placed in the
shade for few days to dry and then
put into paper sacks and laid away In
a dry, reasonably cool place, such as
under porch. All during the Sum-

is the dianthus family, which in
cludes the sweet Williams, the hardy
pinks and the everblooming carna-
tons. Just now the sweet Williams
are in bloom and thousands of these
blooms were sold in the local mar
kets for Memorial day. The sweet
William is handled best as biennial,
that Is, growing plants one Summer
for Towering the succeeding Spring.
As matter Of fact, many Of the
so-called perennials, such as colum-
bine, sweet William and Glove pinks,
many best be treated as biennisls.
This means that the home gardener
may very well SOW seeds each Spring
with the next years garden in mind.

z UGH as it worries one to see
M long shoots on the dahlia
tubers, it is better that plant
ing should have been de-
ferred until this time for the simple
reason that early planting means that
the plants start Towering in August
when conditions are unfavorable for
the production of large. fine blooms.
1t is a peculiar situation that con-
fronts the dahlia grower, for In many
seasons his plants reach blooming
just about time to be cut down by
heavy frosts. In other words, the
range of successful blooming in the
dahlia is very brief and comes as
the days grow short and the nights
cool in late September.
In planting dahlias in well-pre-
pared soil. the plants of the large
kinds should be set widely apart, not
less than feet in the row, and the
rows 4 feet apart. Stout stakes. about
inches square, are needed to support
the plants and should be set at the
time the tubers are planted. On the
stake may be placed the name o: the
dahlia. The stakes should be sharp
ened and at least the portion that
enters the soil should be painted to
prevent rapid decay
Dahlias may be grown from seed
obtainable in packets from most
seedmen. However, seed should be
sown early in the Spring if much
Towering is anticipated the first year.
There is lot of pleasure to be gained
in the culture of seedlings because no
one can be certain of the outcome in
colors. Better results are secured
when only one strong stem is allowed
to grow in each hill. To accomplish
this end, the old dahlia roots should be
cut into divisions, rather than setting
out the entire clump of last seasons
roots. AS to varieties, one has literally
hundreds to choose from and it would
be difficult indeed to name a list Of the
10 best varieties.
The dahlia, like the sweet corn and
some other plants. cannot tolerate
shade or, at least, close shade and COM
petition with tree roots. The plants
thrive best in full sunlight.

mer the bulbs are adjusting them
selves by internal growth of flower buds
until, when set out again in october,
they are ready for root growth.
The removal of the tulip bulbs is
necessary in many gardens to make
way for the Summer flowers, such as
dahlias, zinnias and marigolds. If one
simply plants these flowers above the
tulip bulbs. there is no opportunity for
preparing the soil deeply and well.
DR.. Griffiths, who lived in Takoma
Park for many years and was an au-
thority on bulbs in general, used to
urge the annual digging Of tulips.
The Lilies.
TN MANY gardens Madonna, regal
and tiger lilies are growing strongly
and. are now showing blossom buds.
These three species seem to monopo-
lie the lily program in most home
gardens despite the fact that there
are many other species that might be
attempted in this region. Here and
there one finds a home gardener with
interest in the three native lilies
superbum, Philadelphicum and cana
dense-the first being found rather
freely in local low grounds. Expert
enced growers will admit that lily
culture is a very fascinating hobby,
but one that brings lots of disappoint-
ment because of the tendency for
many species not to linger long under
cultivation. Rare species are expen-
sive and often difficult to obtain.
No one has ever given searching
study to the problems Of growing
healthy, vigorous lilies and many
garden writer's tell us that, with eradi-
cation Of disease, lily growing will be-
come popular among the everyday
home gardeners and that instead of
three or four species, one will be able
TO grow many different lilies.

Management under the Works Pro-
gress Administration, delivered an ad-
dress to the Trades and Labor Council
Tuesday evening in which he spoke OF
his efforts to acquire an education, re-
viewed his activity in the labor move
ment and his work in the last Legisla-
tive Assembly. Mr.. Burris felt that
the unions have only themselves to
blame for their lack OF progress, be-
cause Of the absence OF cohesion and a
definite plan of cooperation and CO.
ordination in their e%ndeavors.
He described in detail the technical
parliamentary procedure in the last
Legislative session, especially as it re-
lated to- the passage Of the highway
patrol measure. The speaker referred
to a measure which had for its end
the restriction Of the importation OF
aliens into Montana to work in the
sugar beet fields and that he opposed
this measure vigorously. He suggested
in respect to the union movement
that they hold open forums possibly
every two months with fifty or sixty
delegates in attendance, from all over
the state TO outline policies of organi-
cation and a legislative program.
