Is enabled to test the new irises and
improve his own garden as we'll as
that Of his neighbors. OF course, no
one gardener can buy all the new
irises each year but, by selecting his
material. this home gardener has been
very successful. The iris Is an excel
lent garden plant because its foliage is
beautiful after the blossoms are gone.
Now that the snowdrops, hyacinths
and crocuses are ripening off their
foliage, 1t is all right to NOW over them.
The nutrients In the leaves have all
moved downward into the young bulbs.
Many Of our worst weeds, such as
dandelions. chickweed and purslane,
are natives Of Europe or other parts
Of the Old World. Their rapid de-
velopment precludes the possibility Of
ever eradicating them entirely but
they can be suppressed in the lawn
and garden by diligent effort.
The solanums are important in the

GARDEN NOTES

THE unusual heat has been hard on
the gardens as well as the gar.
deners. Iris and other plants are
being forced into bloom and, In many
cases are nowhere as nearly attrac.
tive as If they developed more slowly.
1t has been a particularly unfavorable
year for newly planted shrubs and
roses. Watering is not enough in hot
periods and newly set plants should
be shaded temporarily with lath work
or other protection.
This ts q year Of peculiar blooming.
Plants that are often two to three
weeks apart have come into bloom at
the same time so that 1t is difficult
to judge the normal behavior of the
various species. The year seems des-
tined to 60 on record as one Of in
consistencies.
Pansies are cool weather plants and
should be planted very early in the
Spring to be really worth while. In
our average Winter, the pansy lives
through very nicely, especially if COW
cred with pine boughs or leaves. This
is the ideal culture, although some
folks manage to grow nice pansies
throughout the Summer.
Insects of various kinds emerge very
rapidly in periods Of heat. The tent
caterpillar, for example, enlarges its
webs on apples and wild cherries and
must be destroyed by spraying with
arsenate Of lead If it Is to be pre-
vented from defoliating trees. The
17-year locust Is certain to emerge
shortly from the soil and, for a time.
worry gardeners with its noise and
destruction of terminal branches.
One gardener in this vicinity has q
worthwhile plan for obtaining new
varieties of iris. He buys expensive
kinds, grows them a few years and
sells the increased stock at moderate
rates. Immediately the receipts are

hued foliage II he included the purple
leafed maple, beech, hazel, barberTy.
plum and the rose.
Fragrant foliage appeals to many
gardeners and one finds occasionally
an old-fashioned sweetbriar rose and
lemon-leafed verbenas and geraniums
grown chiefly for their sweet-scented
leaves. Many Of the herbs grown In
the old-fashioned garden were also Of
delightful fragrance.
Strangely enough. one Of our most
valuable garden irises, Princess
Beatrice or Pallida Dalmatica, was
grown before 1900 and u still rated
as one Of the best Of the clear lavender
blue varities. At this early date, q
garden writer. Carolus Clusius, de-
scribed some 20 sorts and remarked
on the variability Of seedlings. This
information must not be miscon-
strued - . plea for the old varities,
for, as . rule, they are vastly inferior
to the present day varieties, such %
