versity Park area uses a small wading

Fortunate indeed Is the gardener who
has facilities which permit him to
take advantage of natures liberal
offering Of potential fertilizer. 1t is
a mistake to simply spade masses of
leaves into the garden soil before
they have decomposed Without the
treatment suggested above decompo-
sition proceeds slowly and, temporarily
at least, the leaves will actually reduce
the fertility OF the soil, because the
bacteria that decompose the leaves
use the available nitrogen in the soil.
After decomposition, this nitrogen is

worked in well with a metal rake or
harrow. Never will one have an
equally favorable opportunity to place
the fertilizer deeply where the grass
roots may lie. This is especially
important in the case Of the phos-
phorous because this element does
not move downward as does nitrogen.
For openly exposed lawns, blue grass
sown alone is conceded the most
desirable seed. If one likes white
clover, some may be applied also, using
one-half pound per l 900 feet OF new
lawn in addition to the or S pounds
of blue grass seed. Grass needs little
covering and, if soWn on a raked
surface, the roller will cover the
seed adequately. For lawns in shade
or semi-shade, Chewing's fescue is
better than blue grass. Many seeds
men have special mixtures prepared
for sowing in shady spots.
For renovation OF the established
lawn Overrun with crab grass, first
rake thoroughly. which will mean
digging out much of the dying crab
grass. If one uses an iron rake and
if the soil has been softened with rain,
the surface will be disturbed suf1ici-
entity to form a seed bed. Two to
three pounds Of grass seed per 1000
feet should suffice for renovation.
Since the ultimate object is to build
adequate fertility for good blue grass,
the lawn should be fertilized prior to
reseeding, using II to Is pounds Of
a 4-8-4 material or approximately this
formula.
Blue grass is slow to germinate but
once esta blished has no equal in
open sunlight. 1t is suggested, how
effect, rye grass is useful. 1t will
give fine appearing lawn for a few
months but is not durable.
The creeping bent grasses, such as
are used for putting green's on golf
courses are exceedingly beautiful but
are not recommended for lawns be-
cause of the continuous care needed
to keep them free from weeds and
disease.
Old Leaves
NHORTLY the leaves will be falling
from the oaks. NAPLES and other
declduous trees. The display of this
annual crop is problem for suburban
owners and their burning is nuisance.
The guardians of the public parks do
not apparently lose sight OF the fact
that leaves are potential source
of fertility, not only because Of their
appreciable content of nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, but because. If
properly handled they are a potential
substitute for stable manure. Those
Takoma gardeners who remember the
late DR.. GriffithS will recollect how
each Autumn he gathered great guam
titles of leaves into piles as source
of fertility. If one adds some sulphat te
OF ammonia, some hydrated lime and
some superphosphate during the pro-
cess OF building the heaps of leaves
decomposition will be speeded up and
the residual leaf mold will be richer
in fertilizing elements. Water is an
important agent and the pile should

IHOSE who visited the Regional
Dahlia Show staged by the
National Capital Dahlia Soci-
ETY. at the John Burroughs
School last week end were amply re-
paid for their trouble 1t was an
excellent show. with great variety Of
dahlias and other Autumn flowers.
The range in size and form of the
dahlia is truly amazing from the giant
kinds. such as Son of Satan. which
was judged the finest flower. to the
small pompom dahlias which would be
attractive for table decorat ton.
The botanist that named the dahlia.
Dahlia variabilis. was exceedingly for
tunate in his selection of a species
name because no flower is more vari-
able. On of the oddest dahlias shown
was Union Jack, with each petal show
ing clear white and clear red stripes.
In the Arrangement classes. there was
evidence of remarkable artistic ability
on the part of some of the exhibitors.
The class of flowers with pictures was
particularly interesting and attractive.
This was the second annual regional
show and so successful have been both
that the dahlia society is already
laying plans for 1893.
President Bishop stated that he
wished local gardeners would plant
more dahlias next Spring. not only
With the 1888 show in mind but also
for the beauty of the flowers them
selves. Strangely enough. Mr. Bishop
added. every one thought the abundant
moisture and relatively cool Summer
would be ideal for dahlias but. as A
matter of fact. such conditions did
not promote blossoming. Many dahlias
have not yet bloomed.
Lawns.
NO GARDENING subject has
greater significance or sustained
interest to the nome gardener than
does the care of the lawn. Just now
is occurring the most favorable period
OF the whole year for improving lawns
and creating new lawns.
For new lawns it is well to be
generous in time and money spent
on preparation. The lawn area should
be spaded or plowed deeply and all
stones and debris removed from the

she shrugged and remarked, Lets skip it.

was an hour late.
As much as he dreaded the sight of libby he
wished desperately that she would show up.
He was tired He resented being kept waiting.
He resented even more that Doris, meeting
them with the car at the Southfeld station,
was being kept waiting too. Like like paid
chauffeur!
At breakfast that morning Ibby's telegram
had arrived with the impact of a dentists bill,
and Doris, ordinarily calm, had fowered into
crisp talk. "All right, Ken. You meet her -
though why she needs to be met goodness
knows! You meet her and you tell her. Tell
her in words of one syllable that she can stay
for the week end - and that's all. No more
Gve-week visits! No more - well, you know as
we'll as do"
"Just leave it to me" said Ken. 'I1l fix it,
don't you worry. Sunday night is Ibby's dead
lne"
Remembering this conversation Ken Phillips
took another footsore swing around the infor-
nation booth -a and frightened. For there
came libby herself. Beside her, of course, walked
neat young man. Behind her staggered two
redcaps, laden like camels with bags and boxes.
libby was in turquoise blue Tilted half on and
half off her too blonde hair was phantasma-
goria that must have been displayed in some
store, somewhere, as hat. At sight of Ken she
f1uttered forward, her two hands outstretched,
exclaimed:
ken! My goodness, if you aren't just as
darling as ever! I've just been famishing for a
sight of you, Ken"
libby scarcely looked famished, Ken thought
grimly. She was as plump as always. Her wide
blue eyes we're wearing pasted-on lashes, in
credibly long and curly and incredibly dark.
Her lids, as she dropped and lifted them, shone
bluish-green.
do you like my new hat Ken? picked it
up between trains in Philadelphia. The cutest
shop! BY the way this is Edgar
Ken grunted and nodded perfunctorily to-
ward Ibby's young man. Listen, Ibby," said
Ken, we're an hour late now. Doris is waiting
at the Southfeld station already. If we hurry
we can make the 6:02."
"Am late, Ken?"
Come on" said Ken, and grabbed Ibby's
elbow Edgar, looking troubled, faded into the
background. Somehow Ken got libby and her
luggage aboard the train.
It was there, as they pulled out of 125th
Street, that he remembered again the serious
ness of his mission. At breakfast that morning
