space as unpruned, and the gardener
may very well have more varieties in
a given area.
Climbing roses should not be pruned
until after Towering in late May or
June The pruning of bush roses of
the type of Rosa hugonis should also
be delayed until after Towering.
Annual Plants.
VARIOUS of the ANIMALS, such as
petunia, saliva and Towering
tobacco, grow so slowly in the early
stages that it is necessary to start
them indoors in late March, later
transplanting them to protected bed
to stay until all danger of frost is past.
Others, such as zinnias and marigolds,
germinate so readily and grow SO
rapidly that they may be soWn di-
rectly in the open about the first of
May. Flower pots, especially Of the
broad low type used for hyacinth
forcing, make good seed beds if prop
erly handled. Broken pottery or
stones should fill the pot half full and

sifted soil. Very fine seed, such as
petunia, need very little cover, per-
haps very little sand sifted gently to
cover the seeds two or three times
their diameter. The pots are best
watered by setting them in pan of
water until the surface becomes moist.
A pane of glass placed over the pot
will keep out mice and other pests.
Shortly after the seedlings develop
their first true leaves they must be
lifted with knife blade and trans
planted to boxes of soil
Many city gardeners buy their plants
from the florist or store, but the SUBJ
urban gardener with larger paintings
still grows much of his stock. He
usually provides himself with hot
bed which serves as miniature green
house in which to hold the plants dur
ing the cool April weather. Recently
electric resistance cables have become
popular as substitute for stable

BUILDINGS VALUE
HANGS ON REPAIRS
M0dernization Held Feature
of First Stages of Busi-
ness Revival.

Reconstruction and modernization
Of outdated but latently valuable prop
erty is featuring the first stages of the
building trades revival already under
way as part of the general business
upturn throughout the country, de-
clares Ely jacques Kahn of New York,
chairman of the Committee on Allied
Arts of the American Institute of
Architects.
Reviewing the field in a report to the
institute, Kahn says that only by in
stallation of modern improvements IN
many cases amounting to almost COM
plete redesignlng, can the actual
value" of many neglected structures
be brought to light. Included among
the improvements he mentions are up
to-date elevators, air conditioning,
proper lighting and effective fire safe
guards.
For many years little has been
done to preserve existing buildings, Z"
explains Kahn. There are countless
homes, schools, churches, Office build
lngs and factories tnat need moderni-
cation urgently.
Outlook for 1887 Good.
The actual value of so much prop
erty can be brought to light by minor
or major Improvements, additions or
possible rebuilding. So much is being
done successfully at this moment that
1t Is not an eXaggeration to assume
that great number of buildings will
come under similar scrutiny in 1887.
Many stores will be redesigned
completely. They are dingy, old fash
loned and lack modern conveniences
Many office buildings cannot COM
pete with the newer ones-their low
cred incomes are directly the result of
physical conditions that need correc-
ton. The owner who refuses to
analyze his investment is like the man
who insists on preserving worthless
stock certificates because he likes the
paper on which they are printed.
The pressure is here, and there will
be more of it. There is a French say
ing that when building develops,
everything develops-note the reports
of the steel industry and the great
companies who supply other building
materials. The architects function is
to direct this work of building and re-
building, not only to obtain beauty,
but to insure intelligent use of ma
terials and money.
Jerry Building Attacked.
"As building progresses, it is essen
tial that jerry building be controlled.
One of the important building news
services is now agitating a demand
that the loaning institutions insist on
proper supervision of buildings erected
with their money. The situation is so
elemental that there can be little
argument against its acceptance, for
we have seen enough of amateur
building, where return is the only con-
sideration
The public is interested, for it has
seen collapses and deaths and knows
that shoddy buildings are the result of
carelessness, due primarily to the
laxity of those who sponsor such
strange investments"

roots where it will be available when
growth has begun. Fertilizers may
easily burn the tender new roots.
DR.. L. H. Bailey, editor Of the Ency-
clopedia of Horticulture and author Of
many other gardening treatises, has
recently written a new book, "The
Garden of Gourds," which brings to-
gether valuable information on this
interesting group Of plants. Like all
Of DR.. Bailey's books, this latest is
written in simple, entertaining style,
that makes for easy reading.
Those who admire scattering Of
crocus, snowdrops and other early
flowers in the lawn should bear in
mind that the perpetuation Of these
species depends on chance to mature
their foliage. Early cutting of the
grass will destroy these little plants
quicker than any other treatment.
The perennial border, with its con-
tent OF peonies, phlox. columbines,
pyrethrums and so forth, should be
cleansed of dead foliage, cultivated
shallowly and fertilized, because all of
these plants are beginning to grow.
The Garden Clubs
MAsoN A. Helm of the Division of
Forage Crops and Diseases of the
Department Of Agriculture, as guest
speaker at the March meeting of the
Takoma Horticultural Club, gave the
members some valuable suggestions on
the maintenance Of lawns. Blue grass
recommended tho jv,1r>
tant species for local lawns exposed to
the full sun, with perhaps little white
clover added where the owner so de-
sires. The clover not only tends to
keep the lawn green in Midsummer,
but tends to enrich the soil. Fertilizer
should be applied as soon as possible,
preferably about the middle Of March.
A complete fertilizer was suggested for
the Spring treatment, followed by an
early Autumn application Of super
phosphate and potash. Materials of
composition approximating per cent
nitrogen, per cent phosphoric acid
and 4 per cent potash may be applied
in early Spring at the rate of IS
pounds per 1000 square feet Of lawn
with no danger OF burning the grass.
There comes time in July and August
when it would be better to let the
lawn rest rather than to stimulate
growth with water and fertilizer. Such
treatments favor crab grass, species
naturally adapted to high tempera-
lures. Mr.. Helm reminded his audi
ence that local lawns survived the
severe drought Of some years ago and
that simply because blue grass turns
brown is no indication of its death.
Discussing stable manure, Mr.. Helm
was frank in admitting that we'll
rotted manure, free of weed seed, would
be most excellent fertilizing material
for the lawn, but stated that it would
be very difficult to find weed-free ma

manure. Such beds are cleaner to
construct and simpler to manage as
the thermostatic control shuts of the
current when natural sun heat is suf1-
cient and turns it on again when the
bed cools down. The initial cost is
greater than that of q manure bed,
but the bed is good for long use. If
operated only during the moderate
weather in April and early May, cost
Of maintenance need not be excessive
Plant Diseases.
THERE are some important steps to
be taken in the garden directly at
the beginning of Spring If certain
troubles are to be avoided.
Larkspurs or delphiniums should be
trimmed Of all last years leaves, leav-
ing only the new, young growth. Then
a spray Of Bordeaux mixture, the con-
centrated material OF which may be
secured at any garden supply store,
should be applied to the upper and
lower surfaces of the new foliage and
to the soil around the plants. This
spray should be repeated at weekly in
tervals until the plants are foot or
two in height. Another helpful treat
ment is to work handful or two of
gypsum into the surface soil around
the plant. In lieu of gypsum a light
Sprinkling of lime is valuable. The
gypsum treatment should be supple
mental to the Bordeaux and not q
substitute therefor
Hollyhock rust may be greatly re-
duced by the plucking Of spotted
leaves and few repeated sprayings
of Bordeaux.
In the iris beds much can be
gained by pulling off the dead leaves
and clipping diseased ends of spotted
leaves. Certain varieties, such as
Lent A. Williamson, Mary Garden and
Lorelei, are particularly susceptible to
leaf blight and should, therefore, re-
ceive particular attention.
All dead foliage should be carefully
removed from peony plants and de-
stroyed by burning or otherwise dis
posed of.
Gladiolus corms should be carefully
examined and cleansed of dead It's
sues Rotted and scabbed cormS
should be discarded and all the re-
naming corms dipped for 80 minutes
in a solution of corrosive sublimate,
bichloride of mercury, made up in the
proportion of one ounce to seven gall
Ions OF water. This treatment is
doubly effective in killing over-Win-
tering thrips and in destroying dis
ease spores. Mercury compounds are
highly poisonous and the hands should
be carefully washed after the treating
process.
These precautionary measures are
inexpensive and will save the home
gardener lots of trouble and disap-
pointment later on, when Towering
season arrives. An ounce Of preven-
ton is worth pounds of cure.
Garden Notes.
THE sooner now that roses, shrubs
and trees are planted, the more
certain is their success. AS a matter
of fact, late Autumn is probably the
better season for planting woody
perennial material in this locality but
because of Spring enthusiasm much
the greater portion is planted in
Spring. When planting trees or
bushes, don't mix fertilizer directly
with the soil but place it beneath the

of their safety through Federal Hous-
