Metal reinforcing in the concrete will

Is an absolute necessity. Care should
be taken to tamp the soft concrete

Garden Notes.
THE Importance OF the peony as
Memorial day flower is shown
in the extensive trade in this one
flower just prior to this holiday. One
of the important producing centers
is located near Evansville, Ind, from
which point 4o-odd cars Of buds were
shipped this year. Strangely enough,
the growers never see their fields in
full bloom because the flowers are cut
just as the buds begin to show color
and are shipped under cold storage
to Eastern and Northern markets. The
fashioned white variety, Festiva
Maxima, comprises about one-haf Of
the harvest.
The ants that may be observed on
peony buds are generally conceded to
be harmless to the flowers, but are
simply collecting sweet exudate from
the buds. The ants are annoying and
may, perhaps, be best combatted by
placing sweetened poisons, such as may
be secured from many suburban gar

FIJI. A. STANDARDS
7 BENEFIT HOMES
Cheap and Faulty Building
Checked, Administrator
Mcdonald Says.

Construction standards and prelimi-
nary review requirements set up by
the Federal Housing Administration,
with which all projects to be financed
by private capital under the insured
mortgage system must comply, will
have definite effect in checking care
less and faulty construction during the
expected building upturn this Spring,
Federal Housing Administrator Stew
art Mcdonald said today.
The minimum requirements for con-
structlon are rapidly being localized to
supplant the former general require
ments which applied nationally, he
explained, and will do much to dis
courage flagrant disregard of sound
methods of home building
Such conditions" he said, "charac-
terlstlcally appear during the early
stages of a recovery period, while the
number of homes under construction
shows a rapid increase. Hence the
special attention given to construction
bS lllC dIlu Oll-
derwriting Divisions of the Housing
Administration is most timely. AS the
increasing number Of homes, particu-
larly in the loW-priced field, enter con-
structlon all over the country our in

active part in maintaining a good

AS the development of new subdi-
visions is expected to play an impor-
LIANT part in the construction gains
during the coming Spring and Sum-
mer, the administrator explained the
system under which they obtain Fed
eral Housing Administration approval
for such projects when applying for
Government insurance on mortgages.
When operative builders wish to OBJ
tain commitments to insure mortgages
on houses, to be located in new de-
SelopmentS, they are required to sub
NIT the subdivision proposal for ap-
proval. This permits review of the ar
rangement of streets, lots and blocks;
provision of Fairgrounds and other
areas for public use and plans for
building and financing the utilities and
street improvements. Poor layout,
which may involve excessively narrow
lots. is one of the greatest influences

Donald explained.
The minimum requirements on
projects and the preliminary review by
the Housing Administration of pro-
posed developments is of utmost value
to prospective purchasers In addition,
plans and specifications OF houses
must be submitted at the time that
the commitment for mortgage insur-
ance is sought, and architectural in
spectors make examinations during the
course of construction to make sure
that the construction is in accordance

become a source Of trouble to the
neighborhood.
Rose Insects.
GONE information on the control
OF rose insects may not be un-
timely even though the height OF
the first bloom has now passed. The
most common pests are two species
of aphids, known as the green aphis
and the pink aphis. These species
have, Of course, more technical names,
but since control is the important
concern Of the home gardener, there
is no use in attaching scientific
names. The aphids are sucking in
sects, that is, they feed on the plant
juices by thrusting their feeding parts
directly into the tender tissues. All
sucking insects are best combatted
with contact sprays, such as pyrethrum
soap or nicotine soap sprays, which
are easily prepared by simply delut-
ing with water and adding a little
soapy water, following directions on
the package. These materials may
be obtained from any garden supply
store and from various hardware and
drug stores in the suburban areas.
Spider mites occasionally become
serious pests, especially in dry periods
Of Summer. They cause the leaves
to become rusty brown with the under
surfaces often grayish. The pyrethrum
spray suggested above Is effective If
applied to the under surfaces o: the
leaves. Dusting sulphur is also use
full, but is not entirely safe in very
hot weather.
There is scale insect that attacks
older bushes and is usually found
clustered on the lower portions of
the stems. This scale is not COM
mon on we'll pruned and well cared
for plants, but, II found, plans should
be made for spraying the plants in
the Winter period with lime sulphur
solution made up OF one part con-
centrate to nine parts Of water.
Leaf-eating insects, such as those
which Skeletonize the leaves or de-
YOUR entire leaves, may be DESTROYED
by spraying with arsenate Of lead solu-
ton. This is made by dissolving one
tablespoonful OF arsenate Of lead paste
or one-han tablespoonful of arsenate
Of lead power in one gallon Of water
II the arsenate is mixed first in 4

~ recent years, partly as result
4 A of the two or three very dry
Summers which accentuated the de-
STABILITY of water gardens and partly
because home gardeners have found
out that they could build pools with
their own handicraft. Various of the
gardening magazines have furthered
the good work by presenting plans
and specifications for simple pools and
the local garden clubs have fostered
the idea by securing speakers on the
subject. AS pointed out by these ex-
perienced people, the pool may we'll be
used as the central feature of the
garden plan. Size, and shape to a
lesser degree, should conform to the
size Of the garden area, that is, a
very large pool in small garden
area would be out of place and destroy
the beautiful effect that the owner
hoped to create. Since lilies and other
aquatic plants are accustomed to
grow in open sunlight, the pool should
be placed in the open where the sun
may reach the water most of the day.
Since lilies, according to such an
eminent authority as Mrs. L. Helen
Fowler, should be planted so as to
have to II inches Of water above
the crown of the plant, the pool must
be at least 2 feet in depth This
means an excavation of 21a feet. The
side walls should be built with slight
outward slant so that in Winter the
expanding ice will not rupture the
