A. F. 6. f. VOTES
ON RADICAL
CHARTERS

Possibility that the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes will grant charters to its
ousted radical" emerge ency
agency lodges loomed today with
disclosure that the executive coun-
Gil will vote on the question by
mail.
Restoration of the lodges to
good standing would seal a rift
within A. F. G.. E. ranks which
opened last September at the De
troit convention when six liberal
groups from the District Of Colum.
bia were expelled from the organ
ization on charges Of having Com
muniSt leanings and indulging in
"subversive activity" by picketing
Federal buildings.
Charters Withdrawn
Temporary charters were with
drawn at that time from groups
in the Social Security Board, Sc.
curitieS and Exchange Commis-
sion, Farm Credit Administration,
D. C.. Public Assistance Division of
WPA, and the Department Of JUS
tice. The latter group has since
been replaced by an entirely new
lodge composed of conservatives,
in sympathy with personnel poll
cies Of Director j. Edgar Hoover.
A delegation from the five exist
ing groups called Saturday upon
Col. Charles I. Stengle, national
President, and asked. reinState-
ment and a transcript Of the con.
vention proceedings, including the
executive councils report against
them.
The delegation pointed out that
the ousted lodges have continued
on an organized basis as inde.
pendent unions and have shown
no indication Of the continued
Objectionable tactics that had
been feared by conservative mem.
bership.
Vote BY Mail
It was disclosed today the
executive council will vote on the
reaffiliation by mail as soon as
the ouSted units present request
for the action in writing to A. F..
G. E. national headquarters,
Under the A. F. G. E. constitution,
Stengle has no power to restore
the lodges against the conven'
tion'S mandate, such authority
lying only with the council.
Stengle has held several long
conferences with William Green
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and the latter has
directed that the A. F. G. E. heaY
controversies as soon as possible
since the constitution was
amended in September to allow
! control of troublesome groups. il
is believed the ousted units will
be reaffiliated.
Dismissal Threat
The amendment reads:
I'm case of an emergency, any
member of the executive cOun.
Gil may issue in writing to any
lodge, or any member thereof,
an order to cease and deSiSt
activities deemed inimical to the
best interests of the fedora
ton
Failure of the lodge or any
member thereof to Immediately
comply shall be deemed
sufficient grounds for immedi.
ate suspension by majority vote
of the executive council, with
out hearing"

Both defenders followed suit. The S

At the eleventh trick spades were

won. He led his last trump at the
twelfth trick, picking up East's last
trump. Then declarer led off his es-

doubled small slam contract.

finished a player as South take the
needless chance he did at the ninth
trick. when he led off his K of clubs,
without knowing whether or not East
might ruff. Declarer should have led
a low club and ruffed the trick. It

be down anyway. That explained

large -fowered varieties, such as Kath-
leen Parlow or Sir Walter Scott, the
same care as is given hSacinths or
tulips. One will be pleasantly sur
prised with the magnificent display.
The crocus may be planted very close
ly, 3 to 4 inches apart for mass effect.
The corms should be about inches
deep in the soil.
Some species of crocus flower in the
Autumn, sending up the blooms in late
September or early October and their
foliage in Spring. The flowers are
much like the ordinary Spring crocus
and are real effective in the rock gar
den or massed in small groups, but the
bulbs must be planted III August to

q strain of the English ivy, charac-
terized as Baltic ivy, was most salts
factory. This ivy came from near
the northern range of the species
and withstood the terrific cold Of the
1886 Winter with only slight in
jury. Next to the ivy, the periwinkle
was found generally useful. PERI
winkle was superior to ivy in being
more delicate in appearance and in
producing attractive blue flowers in
Spring. On the other hand, it was
slower growing and more difficult to
get well established. Like the ivy,
periwinkle had value for planting on
rather steep slopes. Gill-over-the-
ground did not withstand Summer
droughts very well, and at the same
time, became easily serious weed.
As a matter Of fact, no home gar
dener should plant this species as it
Is very difficult to eradicate. The lily
of the valley, sedum and plantain lily
did not cover the ground any too
well or lost their beauty In Mid
summer.
Many local home owners have used
English ivy for ground cover under
trees or for covering steep banks and
it would be fine II the promising
variety discovered by the botanic
garden could be introduced locally.
In mild Winters the ordinary English
ivy comes through very nicely, but in
severe Winters, such as just passed,
the leaves are badly injured. Under
the conditions prevailing in st. Louis,
the japanese spurge or PacAysandra
was a disappointment.
Where good grass can be grown
there can be no question but that it is
the finest ground cover of all and all
of the plants mentioned are to be con-
sidered only for situations where grass
cannot thrive because of lack of sun
light or excessive sloping of the soil.
Garden Notes.
RETTER TIMES is the name of q
desirable new red rose that is win
ming esteem wherever grown. One en-
thusiastic nurseryman describes it al
the finest red rose for the garden that
has yet been introduced. This is. OF
| course, trade talk, but, nevertheless
Better Times is truly rose worth in
cluding in the rose garden. The flow.
ers are borne on strong stems that
hold the blooms proudly erect. The
individual blooms endure unusually
well.
Carrie Jacobs Bond is another highly
promising red rose. described in one
catalogue as of rich deep rose, en-
hsnced by a luminous coral sheen
Both of these new roses are well worthy
of trial but are, unfortunately, still
rather costly.
1t is well to bear in mind that the
rose needs full sunlight to give its best
performance and the rose bed should
be located with this fact in mind. This
does not mean that the home with
| partial shade may not have roses, but
the owner cannot expect to get the
amount of bloom that might be pos
sible under ideal conditions.

haps by failure to bloom more than
once year when so advertised, or
to bloom very fully at any time. In
essence. patented plants must undergo
the same critical test that is given
all new introductions, and it would
not pay to discard abruptly all of the
good varieties, such as Star of Hol-
land, Red Radiance, Columbia and
Frau Karl Druschki, and substitute
new varieties for them.
There is no question but that the
patenting of plants has been a fine
step forward, because it provides for
rewarding plant breeders for their ef-
fort, but the home gardener should not
confuse patenting with thorough field
trials.
The Crocus.
EEW suburban homes fail to dis
play some crocus blooms in early
Spring, usually in the lawn or along
the walk to the garden. Rarely does
the home gardener grow cr0cuses as a
cultivated plant, but permits them to
strive with the grass. Therefore, it is
little wonder that the plants disappear
shortly because Of direct competition
with the grass and with the lawn
mower, which cuts off the leaves be-
fore they have matured. To gain an

BY ]. w. WELLINGTON


IN AN admirable lecture presented
before the Takoma Horticultural
Club on last Monday evening. Mrs.
L. Helen Fowler of the Shaw Aquatic
Gardens, Kenilworth, discussed the
fundamentals of lily culture, conclud-
ing her remarks with a very beautiful
set of colored slides.
Lily pools should be deep enough to
contain two feet of water and should
be built, preferably, SO that the top
edges are even with the soil level.
The most attractive pool is that in
which the grass or other vegetation
comes directly to the waters edge.
Lilies are Of two distinct types,
hardy and tropical, with very dis
tinct cultural needs. Hardy lilies may
remain in the pool for three years if
properly planted in boxes Of rich soil
The boxes should be about two feet
square and one foot deep SO that the
crown of the lily, when planted,
stands about one foot below the sur
face of the water. One plant per
box Is best because the roots grow
rapidly and soon occupy the entire
space. Cow manure is the best fer
tilizer for enriching the soil but COM
mercial materials also may be used
to advantage. After planting, the soil
should be covered with an inch Of
gravel or sand to keep fish from dis
turbing the small roots and to keep
the water from becoming muddy.
Hardy lilies may be planted in mid
April and will come into blossom in
six weeks and continue blooming until
September. The lilies endure Winter
better in the pool than in any other
environment.
In natural ponds lilies may be
placed directly on the bottom and held
in place with stones. Later the roots
will grow into the mud and retain the
plant in position. The depth of plant
ing in ponds should be similar to that
in pools since deeply planted lilies
spend too much of their energy In
vegetative growth.
Evening star., 1936-10-31

Perhaps the outstanding recon-
mendation put forth by Mrs. Fowler
was that water lilies need full SUM-
light and that pools located beneath
trees will not produce many blooms.
As to size Of pool, it should accord
with the size of the house grounds.
but by all means make the pool
as large as possible.
Among aquatic plants desirable for
edging the lily pool are arrowhead.
pickeril weed, forget-me-nots. water
hyacinths and parrots feather. Gold
fish are necessary because Of their
capacity for destroying mosquito
larva.
Mrs. Fowler gave instructions for
constructing small pools Of concrete.
pointing out that sides must be sloped
outwardly just q little to prevent ice
expansion from breaking the walls.
Reinforcing the concrete with heavy
wire extending across the bottom and
up the sides Is advisable to prevent
cracking. Mrs. Fowler closed her re-
marks by stating that in many ways
lily culture is the simplest type of
gardening-no weeds, no watering,
no cultivation. Yet some Of the simple
requirements Of the plant must be
understood and met II success Is to
be assured.
Patented Flowers.
HOME gardeners should not misin-
terpret the significance Of the
word patented with reference to q
new variety Of flower or fruit. The
granting Of patents Is based on dis
tinctive characteristics, such as color,
form and size, and not on potential
value for gardening purposes. Nat
urally, it Is reasonable to assume that
no one would 60 to the trouble and
expense of obtaining a patent unless
he had faith that he has q good va
riety. Yet there is no guarantee nor
assurance of quality in the fact that
plants are patented. Take, for ex-
ample, some Of the patented roses
that, for one reason or another, have
disappointed local gardeners, per-

has been no disease present In the
garden, the plant refuse may be placed
In the compost pile and used for fer
tilizer.
With the upper soil now saturated
with water, the moisture situation Is
reversed from what it was in August
and September. This is very fortu-
nate for the bulbs that have been or
are about to be planted and for newly.
planted shrubs and trees. 1t Is this
abundant moisture that makes Fall
| planting superior to Spring planning
for many plants.
