Chrysanthemums.
THE hardy chrysanthemum is one
of the finest flowers for the home
garden, not only because it supplies
blooms later than other species, but
because of the vigorous qualities which
make for easy culture. At this season,
there may be observed around the
base Of last years stalks a number
OF young shoots. In some vigorous
varieties, there may be dozens of
young plants, each with roots and
each capable Of developing into fine
Towering plant by Autumn. These
clumps should, by all means, be sepa-
rated and the small plants set in we'll
spaded and well fertilized soil. If left
in clump, none of the plants will
be able to make that strong, vigorous
growth which means attractive flowers.
1t is even possible to take cuttings
from the young Spring plants and root
them easily.

undergoing tremendous changes In

AIR CONDITIONING
SET TO SPRING"
Homes Provided on Same
Principle as Planes in
Latest Method.

Spring air conditioning for homes,
based upon the principle used to con-
dition the newest airplanes, Is the
latest development of the air-condi-
tioning industry, according to William
B. Clifford, manager Of the Washing
ton branch of the American Radiator
Co.
Development of the special condi-
tioning for Spring, he said, has re-
suited from refinement in the methods
used for Winter air conditioning, max
Ing possible the continuous use of
the latter III connection with the
widely varied temperature conditions
to be found during the Spring months.
Especially in the early Spring, he
pointed out, temperatures may vary
from near the freezing point to days
when the outdoor air temperature
ranges only slightly below the 70-de-
gree mark.
In the newest transport airplanes,
he added, steam heat has been applied
with air conditioning to meet widely
varying temperature conditions at
different attitudes without interfering
with the air conditioning.
For home conditioning, he said, the
use of piped distribution heat has been
applied with air conditioning In the
same way to make it possible to meet
the widely varying temperature con-
ditions of Spring or Fall
Special graduating devices have
been developed to be applied in air
conditioning, with either steam or
warm-water heating, at the source Of
heat IN each room and meet the diff
ferent outside temperature conditions
that may occur, he added.
In the earliest air conditioning, he
explained, these devices were not used
as heat was delivered to home with
the conditioned air through ducts,
rather than through a separate piped
distribution system, with the result
that the air conditioning supply had
to be turned off to avoid overheating
on any but the coldest day.
1T was one Of the ironies Of the
early air conditioning" he continued,
especially the so-called year around
air conditioning, that for most Of the
year there was no air. conditioning at
all For the coolest, and, if cooling
was included, for the hottest days
there was air conditioning, but hour
for hour throughout the year, the air
conditioning was turned of more than

came, the air conditioning was shut
of most OF the time and Springtime
was shut out. The same was true in
Fall or on mild Winter days. In order
to avoid overheating the house, the air
conditioning had to be cut off.
Nov with the development OF the
new air conditioning, the heat is de-
livered through piped distribution
system and the conditioned air through
a separate system of simplifed air
mains. Radiators, with special attach
ments to assure graduation of the heat
supply throughout the house, are
placed in every room and the heat
Is varied according to need, while the
air supply is constant. The action Of
the two parts Of the system is separate

Shade Problems.
GARDENING to advantage under
semi-shade, such as cast by an
occasional large cak or other shade
tree Is = problem that confronts 4
large number of local gardeners.
Trials will answer gradually the q,1es-
tions as to adaptabinty, but this Is =
slow and disappointing process and it
Is much better to learn something
from neighborhood gardeners who
have adjusted their gardening to tho
environment. Shade is not a matter
OF diminished light alone, but in
wolves moisture and nutrients for
which the trees compete During the
dry periods Of Midsummer, the water
problem becomes exceptionally trying.
There are certain plants, such as the
narcissus, tulip, iris, primula and
violets that grow and bloom 80 early
in the Spring that the trees offer
little competition. During the dry
period OF Midsummer, these species
are practically dormant and endure
drought and shade with relative i'm
punity. Woody plants, such as rhodo-
dendrons and azaleas, which grow
naturally in the forest, endure shade
Of trees and actually benefit from the
protection. Among herbaceous peren-
mails that blossom nicely under partial
shade are the perennial phlox, colum-
bine or equileg1a, pyrethrum or painted
daisy, geum and many Of the lilies.
Considering plants that do not
tolerate shade, the rose is an out
standing example, particularly the
bush roses Of the hybrid tea and
hybrid perpetual types, such as Radi-
ance and Frau Karl Druschh. Black
spot and other foliar troubles are
doubly difficult to control under shade
and the plants bloom very little at

~ ately, by no means the easiest
garden member to grow successfully.
Col. w. H. England, president Of the
Potomac Rose Society, ascribes much
Of the success Of rose growing to the
purchase of healthy, vigorous stock
and to correct planting. In his talk
before the Woodbridge Garden Club in
January, Col. England urged that rose
beds be excavated as deep as 2 feet
and refilled first with a layer Of stone
or gravel for drainage and then with
fertile top soil. Such care is very
different from that ordinarily given
by the casual rose grower who simply
digs hole broad and deep enough to
hold the roots. The question Of good
quality plants is one that causes lots
of discussion. Price cannot be used
as positive index to quality, but the
reputation of the grower is good
guarantee. There are nurseries that
have grown roses for years and their
very success speaks well for their
stock. Most gardeners, after one or
two experiences with unknown stock

tional cost of reliable plants.
There are two popular types Of bush
roses, the hybrid tea or monthly
blooming and the hybrid perpetual
or Spring blooming. Most every one
prefers the former because of the sue
cession of bloom throughout the year.
Varieties are constantly changing. so
rapidly that the everyday home gar
dener cannot hope to keep up with
the new varieties. For this reason,
the Potomac Rose Society is sponsor
ing the establishment of large test
garden where local people may study
varieties prior to purchasing them.
The continual change in rose varieties
may be seen in the catalogues OF rose
nurseries, some of which designate
each year group of varieties as the
preferred dozen for general planting.
AS new kinds prove their garden merit,
they are placed on the list in lieu
of some older sort. Yet there are
a few varieties, such as Kaiserin
Auguste Viktoria, Etoile de Hollande,
Red Radiance and Duchess Of Well
ington, that are apparently difficult

TRANSPLANTING BEST
IF CONDUCTED EARLY
Serious Root Damage Avoided
It Plants Are Not Too
LARGE,

Flower or vegetable seedlings started
indoors or In hotbeds should be trans
planted early to avoid serious root
damage and to give them q better
chance Of survival.
Plants should be pricked out from
the soil In which the seed was sown
and reset at wider spacing as soon as
the seedlings can be grasped. A pencil
or pointed stick should be inserted
beneath the Seeding and pried lightly
upward to assist in removing the plant
without tearing roots.

years.

Of the more tender varieties success
fully or 1t is practical to purchase
rooted cuttings from 4 commercial
grower with greenhouses.
The secret Of growing large flowers
Is to reduce the number Of blooms
to one or more per plant. This may
be accomplished by keeping all side
branches pinched out as they appear.
Chrysanthemum plants need spraying
three or four times during the grow
ing season, with Bordeaux mixture as
insurance against loss of the lower
leaves. Aphids usually appear once
or twice in the growing season but
can be easily destroyed with sprays
of either nicotine sulphate or Of
pyrethrum extract. The chrysanthe-
mum responds to liberal feeding and,
because Of its long growing period, may
be fertilized at two or three different
times.
The Perennial Border.
MANY home gardens boast an
N attractive perennial border plant
ing in which phlox, Iris, aQuilegia,
pyrethrum, and other sturdy species
present brilliant display over a long
season. Grass and weeds should be
carefully pulled from this area and,
with small hand rake, the soil should
be titled shallowly and then fertilized
with good grade commercial ma
terial or with bone meal. The roots
Of certain species, such as iris, lie
close to the surface and deep culture
would be harmful The perennial
border needs constant guarding against
over er-crowding as the clumps Of iris,
phlox and other species expand In
size. This means that about every
two or three seasons, at the proper
season for each species, the various
clumps should be lifted and divided
and reset. With iris, this operation
would be performed in June, peonies
in early September, columbines and
pyrethrum in early Autumn. There
is really no one date upon which the
entire border could be renovated with
out some loss Of beauty the next
Towering season.
In arranging the border, tall species,
such as delphiniums and hollyhocks
should naturally be placed in the
background, perhaps with front
edging Of primulas or some other low
growing species. With thought there
Evening star., 1937-04-17

such as scabiosa, larkspurs, asters and
cornhower, make a weak spindling
type Of growth that Is disappointing.
Among annuals, the znnia is more
adaptable, but even this species en-
joys full sunlight. Chrysanthemums
do fairly well In partial shade, but
thrive better in the sun.
The problem might be easily solved
by the cutting Of the trees, but In
many cases this would destroy much
OF the beauty Of the home place. It
Is more advisable to adapt ,he garden
ing to the environment. And it Is
really surprising what . fine garden
may be developed by careful choice Of
species and liberal feeding to Offset the
urgent demands Of the trees.
Garden Notes.
THE cool weather has resulted in .
long Towering season for mar
cissus and this Is in many ways much
more satisfactory than when . burst
Of high temperature forces the flowers
into hasty bloom and greatly shortens
their period Of beauty. Since the
narcissus Is now storing food for next
seasons flowers, 1t Is well to fertilize
the beds with = good grade of COM
mercial material scattered between
the rows, but not directly on the
foliage Even where the plants are
naturalized in the grass, fertilizing is
essential to keep the plants in flower
ing condition
Easter lily plants may be set out In
the garden after Towering with a fair
chance Of recovery. The bulbs should
be planted 6 inches deep and prefer
ably surrounded with sand. The Eas-
ter lily will not bloom out Of doors
until July and, therefore, the name is
really not appropriate when grown out
Of doors.

Cut Flowers in Early Morning,

Flowers will keep longer if cut early
in the morning while they are still
invigorated by the coolnes Of the
night. If cut during the day, put
flowers, for several hours, in deep
water SO that the full length Of the
stems will be submerged.
