Of loss of bloom because Of the fact
that the flowers appear on the ter
minals of new growth. Best Of all,
the Grape myrtle blooms in Midsum-
mer, when there is little in the way OF
Towering shrubs except butterfly bush
and abelia. Most of the Grape myrtles
that are available are seedlings and,
unless one sees the flowers in ad-
vance, they may be any OF several
shades from almost white to deep
red. Most people prefer the clear,
pink shades.
The Grape myrtle is north OF its
natural zone in Washington, yet there
is much to lead one to believe that it
might be made more adaptable II
vigorous strains were selected.
Wild Honeysuckle.
THE wild honeysuckle, which domi-
mates roadsides of the surround
ing country, is listed in many horti-
cultural catalogues as cultivated
plant and, in fact, has admirable
qualities, such as healthy foliage and
abundant fragrant flowers. 1t is so
aggressive, however, that many a
gardener has been glad to eradicate
the vines after few seasons ex-
perience. This honeysuckle will root
from each node and, if let alone, will
take full possession Of the garden.
1t is difficult to conflne the plant to a
fence or arbor There are two colors
of flowers, the white or yellowish ones
that are characteristic, and pink,
which one sees occasionally along the
roadsides.
Brought from Japan, this honey
suckle found in Eastern United States
most congenial home and, like the
dandelion and other introduced plants.
is so common that one would not even
guess that it has not been here always.
Sodding Lawns.
zach year many new lawns, par
ticularly surrounding new homes,
are established by bringing in sod or
turf from some open field or pasture.
This is a quick and certain way Of
obtaining a lawn, but not always a

from the excavated cellar is simply
leveled and the sod placed on this
subsoil This is a mistake, Tor there
is nothing in this subsoil to supply
nourishment to the grass. After grad
ing the cellar soil, several inches Of
good top soil should be spread evenly
and the sod placed on this improved
foundation. There is, of course, a
tendency to rush operations when
building home, but undue haste. In
this case makes for permanent dis
satisfaction. The basis for a good
lawn is fertile top soil in which the
grass roots can gather abundant food.

casionally severely injured at this
