SEPTEMBER IN
THE GARDENS
May Be the End of Blooms
But a Good Time To
Catch Up Work
THINGS TO BE DONE

September may seem to be the
end of bloom in flower gardens to
most people but to Professor Ltuis
r. Detjen, of the University of
Delawart horticulture department,
it is a gtod month in which to
catch up on the garden jobs. With
the intense heat of the summer a
thing of the past, work in the
flower gardens is easier and mtre
pleasant and there are many things
which, if done now, will improve
the garden next year, he points
out.
September is the best month to
reseed or make lawns. The soil
should be in good condition and it
should be seeded at the rate of
three and one-half pounds per / 900
square feet. If the lawn is being
reseeded, half the amount or one
and three-quarter pounds per l.
900 square feet should be used.
Mixtures adapted to various parts
of the county may be determined
by consulting county agricultural
agents.
September is good time to pre-
pare the ground for fall bulbs
which should be planted as soon as
they arrive in October.
September is a good month to
visit rose gardens where hybrid tea
roses and other everblooming ros-
es are at their best at this time.
Many new varieties may be noted
and plans be made to include them
in next years gardens.
September is a good month to
transplant Towering perennials
such as pyrethrum and rock gar
den plants.
/ September is the month when
the tops of all German iris which
have turned yellow or shriveled
should be burned.
September is good time to re-
set beds of lily-of- which
did not bloom this year. Only the
strongest pips should be kept and
| they should be reset about three
inches apart.
September is the time when
wildf1owers such as Virginias ow-
slip, wild sweet william, triliums,
hepaticas and many others may be
obtained from wild nurseries for
naturalizing in the shrub border
September is the time to lift, di-
vide and reset day lilies or Herme-
ocallis.

GOV. EARLE
VISITS SEAFORD
Addresses Democratic Rally
Following Firemen's Par
ade at SeafOrd
CALLS LANDON WEAK

A prediction that Europe will be
seething with war within the next
two years, and unless the Demo-
cratic ticket is selected the United
States will be drawn into it, was
made Thursday night by Governor
George H. Earle of Pennsylvania
at a mass meeting for Delaware
Democrats in front of the Hotel
Sussex, after the Firemen's parade.
The meeting. announced to persons
attending the state convention of
the Volunteer FIremen's Associa-
tion at Seaford by handbills, was
attended by more than 500 persons.
Virtually all candidates on the
Democratic ticket were present
and gave short addresses. Among
them were: James H. Hughes, Do
yer, nominee for U. S. Senate;
Richard G. McMullen, Wilmington,
nominee for governor; William F.
Allen, Seaford, nominee for repre-
sentative to Congress-; Ernest c.
Blackstone, MillsbOro, nominee for
state treasurer, and James W.Wise
of Dover, nominee for state auditor.
Governor Earle described the ma
tional campaign and then launched
into an attack on the Republican
candidate for President. He said
Landon was being sponsored by the
big interests of the country and
although he considered him a nice
man he believed Landon to be a
combination of Hoover and Hard
ing with no will of his own but a
tool for the men backing him. At
ter telling of millions of dollars
made by some of the big interests
of the country, Governor Earle
said these same interests were
backing Landon. THE people of
Delaware know this better than
any in the country" he said. with
Roosevelt selected, the chances of
America staying out of a European
war are over 10 to l better than
they are with Landon," Governor
Earle declared. The democracy
that was fought for during the
World War is now at its lowest
ebb, he said Governor Earle cited
the benefits of the crop control Gre
ated by the Democratic Party and
pointed out that control was neces-
sary if a normal profit was to be
maintained for farmers. He de-
clared the government had found
complications in this work over
which even nature or agreements
would have no effect. THE farm
ers and laDorers in the city must
work together for if the farmer is
to profit, the city worker must
have a wage to enable him to pur-
chase the country products" he
said. This in turn will provide
the funds for the purchase of city
products by the farmer. We are
facing a showdown with the ma
chine and although business and
industry show improvement, the
unemployment tables of the coun-
try do not show similar improve
ment." He urged shorter work
week and a high wage as means
of offsetting the damage done by
machines in industry. In conclu-
sion Governor Earle urged Della
ware Democrats to go to the polls
and in addition to a national ticket
elect the Democratic state ticket
James M. Tunnel, Georgetown,

man, was chairman of the meeting
