Some experiments at Ohio State
University in fertilizing young shade
trees, reported in the Proceedings of
the Society for Horticultural Sciences
for 1885," may be of interest and
value to home owners. In general,
Autumn applications appeared more
beneficial than Spring treatments
ard q complete fertilizer high in
nitrogen OF mixture Of sulphate Of
ammonia and Of superphosphate
proved most effective. Ample moisture
was even more important than ferti-
lizer In stimulating growth Of trees in
fairly fertile soil. The basis for
determining the amount OF fertilizer
per tree is interesting, being based on
the diameter Of the tree and, in the
case of the sulphate Of ammonia and
superphosphate treatment, consisting
OF one-fourth pound Of the ammonia
and one-half pound OF the phosphate
for each inch OF diameter. The mix
ture was broadcasted over the entire
area beneath the spread OF the
branches.
There is little question but that
shade trees would respond favorably
to fertilizer, especially when growing

Is removed or in the parking where the

Garden Notes.
THE Department Of Agriculture year.
book for 1887, as indicated last
week, contains some very valuable and
interesting information on the histroy
and improvement of our garden
flowers. The account Of the develop
ment Of the dahlia is peculiarly
interesting. The dahlia was flrst seen
by white men in Mexico, where 1t had
apparently been under culture for
many years by the Aztecs. who grew 1t
in their gardens and are presumed to
have improved the flower by selection.
Although there are many native
flowers in our gardens, the dahlia Is
one Of the very few that were In
cultivation,prior to European arrival.
Strangely enough, late Autumn roses
are as good, If not better, than the
early Spring scrop. During the Sum-
mer, the plants make substantial
growth which permits them to bear
large blooms on stout shoots. The
cooler nights and less intense sun
light favor the development of true
colors and abundant petals. Any one
Of the many thousands who attended
the Potomac Rose Society Show in
the National Museum will attest to
the fine quality of the roses grown in
local gardens.
When working among the evergreen
paintings, 1t would be we'll to examine
the arborvitaes for small hanging nests
OF the bagworm. These nests are
dark brown, the color OF dead foliage,
but may be discovered readily II one
parts the branches. The insects will
do no further harm this season but
are potentially a source of serious
trouble. On will need pair of shears
to cut away the nests which should
be burned.
AS interest develops in house plants,
attention Is again called to the desir-
able characteristics of the so-called
African violet. This relative OF the
gloxinia is a grand house plant, en-
joying the warmth and partial shade
OF the home. If kept watered, the
plants will bloom almost continuously

Zinc and galvanized iron markers are
used generally where the marker must
be thrust into the soil. The T.
shaped marker, with name plate hori-
zontal, is usually preferred because it
can be read without too much diff
Guilty. At the best, the markers need
annual observation to see if the names
are legible. AS a safe measure, the
variety fancier will usually map his
beds so that If the labels are lost or
moved the plants may still be identi-
fed. Even the expert grower can
scarcely keep in mind all Of his
varieties, especially in such groups as
roses and tulips where there are
several hundred Of each in the market.
Peat for Lawns.
EVIDENTLY some caution is needed
in applying large quantities of
peat moss to the new lawn prior to
sowing the seed. At the University
Of Minnesota, one, two and four inches
Of peat were worked in a loamy soil
prior to sowing with a mixture OF so
per cent blue grass. 20 per cent redtop,
10 per cent perennial rye grass and
10 per cent White Dutch clover at the
rate Of one pound per $50 square feet.
There was depression in termination
on all peat plots, result thought due
to the absorption of soil moisture by
the peat. Where four inches of peat
were used, the surface was very soft
and spongy, leading to the recommen-
dation that two inches depth of peat
was sufficient. If peat is applied to dry
soil, the surface should be thoroughly
sprinkled to compensate for loss Of
moisture. Beneficial effects were
noted for two to three years in the

MI home owners will be planning
VI gardens for next Summer
a 4 Considerable advantage will
result from deep spading or plowing
OF the garden area this Autumn, any
time before the soil freezes. Such
treatment permits ready freezing and
thawing throughout the Winter and
this tends to break up the soil into
workable condition earlier in the
Spring than would otherwise be practi-
| cable. In addition, late Fall working
OF the soil will expose many insects
which hibernate in the soil and have
| now encased themselves for the long
Winter rest. If one is planning to use
stable manure, it would be favorable
time just before spading or plowing
to apply a heavy coating.
The only objection to late Fall plow-
ing will rest in the contour. If
decidedly sloping and evidently subject
to washing, it would be better to delay
working the soil until Spring. In
established gardens, this tendency to
erode may be Offset by planting with
Winter rye or wheat, thus building up
temporary sod. In Autumn spading,
leave the overturned sod in rough
condition. In other words, do not
break the clods or work down with a
rake or harrow as when preparing a
seed bed.
Before Spading, the new home owner
should carefully plan the entire garden
QrTQnpprnprt llc
1t would be a mistake to break up
a good sod that might become part Of
the lawn because good sods are not
easily re-established.
Rose Varieties.
In February, 1887, the Potomac Rose
Society distributed a mimeographed
list of rose varieties which the mem
bers by agreement believed well
adapted to this region. Perhaps at
this season, when local gardeners are
buying more rose plants, it may not be
amiSs to quote from this pamphlet the
list OF medium-priced hybrid teas:
White: Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,
Nine. Jules Bouche, Mrs. Herbert Stew
ems. Nutius Pacelli; light pink: Briar-
cliff, Nine. Butterfly, Mrs. Charles
Bell. Rapture, William R. Smith;
medium pink: Imperial Potentate,
Lady Ashtown, Mrs. Henry Bowles.
Miss Rowena Thorn; deep pink:
Catherine Kordes, McGredy Scarlet.
Red Radiance; multi-colored pinks:
Charles P. Kilham, Betty Uprichard,
Edith Nellie Perkins, Louis Brinas.
Margaret McGredy; red: Charles K.
Douglas, Crusader, Grenoble, Joyous
Cavalier, National Flower Guild; deep
red: Etoile de Hollande, Souvenir
D'Alexandre Bernaix, w. E. Chaplin;
cream to straw: Luna, Sir Henry Sea-
grave; lemon to chrome: Duchess of
Wellington, Golden Dawn, Joanna Hill,
Roslyn, Souvenir de Pierre Noting:
yellow to apricot: Mrs. Pierre du Pont.
Mrs. E. P. Thorn, Soeur Therese;
multi-colored yellow: Heinrich Wend-
land, Mrs. Sam McGredy, President
Hoover and Talisman.
In addition, there is offered a list
OF higher priced and newer varieties
for the rose grower who wishes to
extend his paintings, but the list as
presented contains sufficient lovely
varieties to satisfy most any one
except the rose lobbyist.

INITIATION IN RENT
IS FORECAST SOON
Business Analyst Also Sees Build
ing Mounting in Face Of
Rising Costs.

Rents and the cost Of housing are
likely to increase more spectacularly
than any other major item during the
phase Of imitation which is ahead,
according to w. M. Kiplinger, Wash
.ngtor business analyst.
I'm the past there have been not
too many houses, but too many vacant
housing units which people could not
afford to own or rent" writes Kip
linger in the November Cosmopolitan.
Nov the margin of vacancies Is
closing up. So rents are going up.
There comes = time when it Is
cheaper to build or buy than to rent.
In many localities this time has come.

Transfer of Plants.

Home gardeners are now busy
transferring delicate plants from
outdoors to indoor flower pots. Or
binary flower pots may be colorfully
transformed with enamel if they are
hrst given two coats of paint of the
same tint The pots should be
washed and dried thoroughly before
the first coat is applied. Both pot
and saucer may be finished inside
and out, except on the bottom of
the pot. which should be left porous
on both sides.

Varying Bands Of Colors.

IN painted walls in the home Is the
use Of varying bands of colors on
walls from floors to ceilings. These

tones near the floor to light tin1

leaves have fallen. The cuttings
should be Of the current seasons
wood and of a length of to inches.
The usual plan is to take cuttings with
the top cut off just above bud and
the base through bud. The cuttings
may be wrapped in bundles, properly
labeled and buried upside down in a
well-drained part Of the garden. Pre-
sumably the tipping Of the cuttings is
to encourage callusing Of the root end
and, if anything, to delay the pushing
out in early Spring of leaf buds.
Strangely enough. no matter what
position the cutting is placed in,
roots will always issue from the end
that was nearest the mother plant
and leaves from the oposite end.
This phenomenon, known as polarity
by botanists, is we'll recognized by
nurserymen. In early April, the
bundles of cuttings are dug up, cut
open and the cuttings lined out in
rows with the top ends upward and
one bud above the SOIL Varieties
within species, such as the grape.
differ in their capacity to form roots
from cuttings but most varieties will
reproduce readily.
Common privet is readily propagated
in the above manner. only in this case
one should take cuttings foot or more
in length. This means that a hedge
which has not been cut regularly
Is better source of cuttings than a
carefully trimmed one. Roses and
grapes that have lost their leaves
prematurely from disease will not
furnish as good cuttings as would
vigorous plants which have had a full
opportunity to manufacture and store
sugars.
Markers.
WITH the approach OF Winter and
the consequent dying Of the foli-
age in herbaceous plants, the question
Of adequate markers becomes again
problem. On the whole, wooden
markers are too transitory even when
painted to be considered for permanent
labelling OF plants. For tying on woody
plants. wooden tags painted with
shellac after marking with pencil are
fairly successful. Better yet are the
thin aluminium strips with names
stamped thereon, but these require
accessibility to a stamping machine.
