preventable because In some cases the
stock itself is OF low vitality or has
been poorly handled before the gar
dener received it. There Is, however,
a considerable loss that may be traced
to faulty planting. When plants are
secured they should be unwrapped
promptly and, If found dry, should be
immersed for several hours in pail
of water. Frequently considerable
percentage Of the roots are broken
off in digging in the nursery. These
broken ends should be clipped neatly
and, after setting, the top growth
should be thinned out and cut back to
equalize the root and top. It is a
mistake to expect plant to resume
Its full state Of growth at once after
the strenuous process of digging stor-
ing and shipment. On the other hand,
If plant is simply moved in the
garden and the root system is undis-
turbed, it may be expected to survive
without pruning.
1t is well to spend the time in ex-
cavating q hole ample to hold the
root system without crowding. The
depth should be adequate to set the
plant at the same level as it was in

a ooAA ~AA
" excellent condition for Spad-
~ ing, heavy rains may change
4 this situation overnight, eS-
pecially in the heavy clays so often
found in local gardens. Spading clay
soils at the improper time is a serious
mistake because the clodS or Jumps Of
soil will not only not crumble prop
erly, but when exposed to the sun and
air, will bake into masses that will
not break down for weeks. There are
certain measures that can be taken
to improve the texture of clay soils.
Inert materials, such as coal ashes,
particularly anthracite coal ashes, may
be incorporated with the topsoil and,
if used abundantly, will remove per-
manently the baking tendency.
Ashes have no fertilizing value and
should by no means be considered as
such. Drainage facilities may often
improve clay, either the laying of tile
or the formation of raised beds. The
tile are of no advantage unless there
is some slope so that they can dis
charge water at lower level
Stable manure is an excellent ma
terial for improving clay as the or
ganic residue tends to break up the
clinging nature of the soil as well as
improve its fertility. Peat moss has
some of the desirable qualities OF the
manure, but imparts little fertility
Rank-growing cover crops, such as
cowpeas and soy beans, when spaded
under the soil, rot into useful organic
matter. 1t is interesting to watch
the changes in the soil after organic
material has been added for two OF
three years. The yellow clay is con-
verted gradually into dark fertile soil
Nature, in fact, points the way to
soil improvement. II one has had
occasion to delve in forest soil he
will have been surprised at its black,
spongy character brought about by
successive generations Of rotting leaves
and wood. Literally tons Of potential
fertility in the form OF leaves are
burned each year by home owners in
the wooded suburbs. II these leaves
Were placed in pits or even in piles
and their decomposition hastened
with nitrogen fertilizer and lime, the
garden would benefit from the re-
sulting material. 1t Is mistake,
however, to simply spade unrotted
leaves into garden soil. The leaves
are actually an impeachment, and in
stead Of improving the fertility will
actually lessen the same for . time.
II, however, these same leaves are
first rotted and the residue applied,
direct benefit will result.
The gardener who is undertaking
to establish himself on a new place
should not become discouraged too
easily, for by thoughtful care he can
gradually convert seemingly sterile
soil into productive garden.
Planting Practices.
THOUSANDS of roses, shrubs and
trees will be planted IN this area
this Spring and, as usual, q large
percentage will fail when the heat
and drought Of Midsummer arrive
rather suddenly. Not all this loss Ia

the nursery or just slightly deeper. A
few handfuls Of bone meal or sheep
manure may be placed below the roots
but not in contact with them. Top
soil should be dfted In about the
roots and tamped firmly with tho feet
until the soil u level with tho ad-
jacent ground. II the soil u 1t all
dry, a pail Of water poured about the
newly set plant will aid In its estab-
ushment.
This care is well worth while and
will often enable the bush or tree to
get we'll started before Summers try
ing weather.
Garden Notes.
THE tremendous sale OF flowers and
Towering plants over the Easter
period should dispel any doubts II
such exist as to the popularity Of
flowers In this region. Most Of the
potted plants will be discarded after
Towering, but it Is well to bear in mind
that hydrangeas, roses and azaleas
can be transferred to the garden. This
should not be done, however, until
about the first Of May, preferably
keeping the plants in the basement in
the interim after they lose their beau
ty Even the normally hardy azalea
foliage may be tender after forcing in
the greenhouse. Hydrangeas require
abundant water to keep them from
willing in the dry atmosphere Of the
home. Setting the pots in 4 pan or
dish Of water overnight is an effective
way to saturate them with water.
Whatever damage the recent cold
winds have done to young foliage
has been compensated by the check
given to many other species. 1t Is
truly marvellous the way that some
Of the tender leaves withstand the
freezing winds. One will note that
few of the really native species put
forth any foliage until after the
middle Of April.
Overgrown privet hedges are not
only unsightly but . detriment to
other plants that may be nearby. At
this season the privet hedge may be
cut back to foot or 80 in height
and thereby restored to its original
purpose, that of an attractive border
for the garden. It would be well to
spade the soil along the hedge, fer
tilizing the same freely with . COM
plete material. BY July one may have
vigorous hedge instead Of one full
Of old, weak growth.
With Regal lily bulbs selling 1T very

often hardly worth while. Garden
peas are one OF the most exacting
crops Is concerns time Of planting.
The young plants endure frosts and
even q belated snowfall but not the
dry Summer heat Of late June. Usu-
ally 1t Is better to SOW the early and
midseason varieties Of peas and not
the tall, late kinds. PArsnips will not
germinate II planted In late May or
June after the soil has warmed to 4
point highly favorable to lima beans
and sweet corn. Radishes are beset
with root maggots II sown late and,
although this insect can be controlled,
the quality OF the radish Is enhanced
by growth in cool, moist weather.
There Is always = drift from vege-
tables to flowers In smaller urban
gardens This appears to be q natural
turn Of events and Is, perhaps, COM
mendable In these days Of plentiful
vegetables. However. in larger sub
urban gardens, where there is plenty
of space for both flowers and vege-
tables, there Is much to be said for
continuing both. The acme Of quail
ity in many vegetables is reached
only when they are harvested q few
hours before use. No one who has
eaten peas or sweet corn cooked
shortly after picking will ever be
fully satisfied with the ordinary mar
ket stock.
Plant Propagation.
HOME gardeners who have read
something Of the remarkable de-
velopments in plant propagation, with
the aid Of various chemicals popularity
known as growth promoting sub
stances, may obtain some first-hand
information as to this technique by
attending the meeting OF the Wood
ridge Garden Club, scheduled for Mon
day evening, April S, 8 pm, at the
Sherwood Presbyterian Sunday school
auditorium. The speaker, Prof. H. G.
Du Buy Of the University Of Mary
land, will demonstrate with living
plant material and also show lantern
slides. This Is real opportunity for
gardeners to get at the truth Of this
new art in plant increase by cuttings.

LOW-PRICED HOUSING
development BEGUN

A new low-priced housing develop
ment, Country Club View, located in
Silver Spring between Indian Spring
and the Argyle Golf Clubs, was an
nounced today by the Crowder Con-
struction Co.
1t was stated by the Crowder firm
that they plan to build 100 homes in
the new community. Eve houses are
now under construction, Of which three
have been sold before completion.
The houses are priced at less than
$1,000.
Each house contains living room,
dining room, kitchen, two bed rooms
and a large basement. The struc-
lures are equipped with automatic
heating.

would do we'll to consider q planting
Of this grand flower. A clump Of
these beautiful lilies In the perennial
border or in some corner OF the
garden will greatly add to the gar
dener's Joy. The blooms, appearing
about July l in this locality. are
fragrant, white suf1used with pink In
color, and borne in groups on stalks
Of 3 to 8 feet in height. The plants
are surprisingly free OF disease and
insect troubles and endure year after
year almost Is well Is the sturdy
tiger lily. Sometimes the plants need
protection from April frosts II they
emerge too early. Introduced from
China little more than two decades
ago. this lily has become popular
over . wide region and Is worthy Of
q place In any garden. The bulbs
should be set to 8 inches deep
because Of the fact that roots are
found on the base Of the stem.
It Is . strange fact that all plants
do not attain their best state under
conditions Of high soil fertility. The
nasturtium 1s 4 striking example,
for the plants, II supplied with abun-
dant fertilizer, will 60 all to foliage
and few flowers. This illustration
shows that each species needs par
ticular consideration and explains
why many home gardeners gradually
develop one or two favorites, the
requirements Of which they study
until they actually become masters
In their culture.
Vegetables.
A LTHOU0H some gardeners prefer
to plant the vegetable garden ell
at one time, preferably after the dan
ger Of killing frosts is well past, there
are certain crops that require early
sowing If they are going to be worth
while. Among these are early pota-
toes, peas, parsnips, radishes, spinach,
beets and carrots. Most OF these crops
may be characterized as cool season
crops that enjoy abundant moisture
and cool nights. If maturity is de-
ferred by late planting, the crops are
