The presentation by L. L. Powers Of
the awards in the garden contest was

stated that the committee had de-
parted somewhat from the usual pro-
cedure in contests. Instead Of judg-
ing one garden against another, which
Is always more or less unfair owing
to the widely varying types Of de-
velopment. certificates Of achievement
were given on whatever features in
each garden came up to the standards
agreed upon by the judges. The GER
tificates were attractive in design and

with the outstanding features on
which the award WAS made, were

Is available to stage attractively all

certain, that the honors will be taken
by those rose growers who are now
busting or spraying to keep the leaves

The National Capital Dahlia Society
is staging its frst annual dahlia
show in the John Burroughs School
on September rs and 20. Although
the society Is new, the members are

success last Autumn At the same o.
cation. The recent rains should

INTERIOR DECORATION
CONTEST TO BE HELD

Convinced that there is through
out the country an urgent desire to
express national trends in thought
and sentiment through an Ameri-
can style of interior decoration un-
alloyed by influences from abroad
James H, Blauvelt of James Blau-
Velt q Associates, Inc, interior dec
orators Of New York City, who is
a governor and the treasurer of the
American Institute of Decorators, is
lanchlng national competition
among students.
While great many of the mod
ern ideas in interior decoration have
been imported from abroad" saws
Mr. Blauvelt, national talent is Gre
ating daily more and more important
and interesting developments in this
.:teld. which, 1t is my belief. are en-
titled to full recognition. 1t is also
my belief that the best way to bring
about this crystallization of our ma
tional tendencies in modern decora-
ton is by stimulating the interest of
students and having one selected for
having designed the best expression
OF what is to be modern Ameri-
can style of interior decoration. We
modern Americans are to live in mod

the other. 1t Il altogether possible to
have living plant with potatoes
growing in the soil and tomatoes on
the above ground portion. The white
potato blossoms freely when growing
in = cool. moist environment. Any
one who has seen the potato fields in
Aroostock County. Me. in late July
will think Of them as giant flower
gardens. The white potato, under
favorable conditions, sets fruit,
known as . seed ball and looking
like spherical tomato except that
tho fruits are yellow and not red at
maturity. The true seeds IRE like
those Of the tomato, but somewhat
smaller.
The sweet potato flower is not often
seen in this region. 1t resembles the
morning glory, but the conditions Of
day length and temperature in this
latitude do not favor development Of
blooms and seed. The use of the
greenhouse and OF abbreviated days
makes possible the production of flow-
ers from hybridization.
Clematis Paniculata.
THE species Of clematis, paniculata,
that is now covering arbors with
bank Of creamy white Is the least
snowy Of that brilliant group which
contains varieties with large flowered
varieties Of brilliant blue and red hues

blooming species with its mass Of
small white flowers the highest rating

IME rolls on and it is again
narcissus planting time. These
bulbs should be planted some-
what earlier than tulips be-
cause they start their root growth
earlier and strong Autumn roofing
means finer Spring blooms. The soil
should be spaced we'll and enriched
with commercial fertilizer of 4-8-4
quality or better. The figures mean
percentages of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash, respectively.
DR.. Griffiths, in his day one of the
best Of authorities on bulb growing,
used to tell some of his questioners
that PHOSPHORUS was the one i'm
portant need of bulbs in local soils
The formula given above might we'll
be 4-l2-4, if such is available. One
pound per 40 square feet is a reason
able application. especially If followed
by top dressing in March or early
April.
Depth Of planting for narcissus can
vary greatly without serious injury.
Most growers cover the bulbs with
about twice their depth Of soil. B.
Y. Morrison we'll known local au-
thorlty, advises deeper planting be-
cause deep-set bulbs do not divide so
rapidly and the beds can remain un-
disturbed for a longer time. If one
practices the deeper planting, he
should place some bone meal or pull
Verlzed manure in the bottom of the
trench, cover this with a couple of
inches of soil and lay the bulbs
thereon.
Narclssus bulbs may be secured in
few days from many different stores
Inc prices should be a little lower this
year, due to the removal of the QUAR-
antlne on foreign-grown stock. The
price range is all the way from 10
cents to more than $25 per bulb
Fortunately there are many fine varie-
Ties IN the lower brackets. Yet few
plants are more certain to become
permanent and increase in the garden
than Is the narcissus, and one bulb.is
sure TO become a colony in a few
seasons.
Rose History.
SOMETIMES home gardeners are in
clined to censure the rose plant
Tor losing its leaves so easilv with
each wave of black spot and to COM
pare it unfavorably with its more
vigorous neighbors in the garden. Yet
The rose, as we know it, is relatively
modern. F. F. Rockwell, in his home
garden handbook, Roses" states that
the hybrid teas, which are our modern
monthly blooming group, were not rec
ognlzed as a distinct class until 1890.
The Lyon rose, one of the forerunners
OF the salmon orange shades, was in
troduced in 1909 A matter of so
years Is very brief in the development
OF Towering plant, and it is alto
gether likely that the home gardener
so years hence will not have to contend
with black spot. Already crosses with
the polyantha group are yielding more
vigorous varieties. There is no garden
plant to take the place of the rose, and
plant breeders will ultimately conquer
black spots, to give home gardeners

The Rose Mallowx.
THIS Summer blooming species
known as marsh mallow and rose
mallow is native American plant,
occurring in marshes from Massachu-
setts to Florida and as far west as
Missouri. Any one who has followed
the Defense Highway to Annapolis in
Summer could have seen rose mallows
in the lowland The colors are pink
and white, but horticulturists have de-
veloped varieties of larger size and
greater diversity of color. Although a
swamp plant. the mallow does very
nicely in good garden soil. 1t is a
herbaceous perennial, like the peony,
which means that the tops die to the
soil each Autumn. Once established,
the mallows are as hardy and certain
as the peony. The flowers are borne
on stout strong upright stems that
need no support and are produced over
period of several weeks. This char
acteristic of long bloom is typical Of
all the hibiscus group, which includes
the Rose of Sharon and the hollyhock.
The rose mallow may be planted in
Autumn or Spring, as one may wish.
and If set in groups with plants two
feet apart it can make splendid dis
play.
Vegetable Facts.
THE white potato and the sweet
potato. although bearing the same
common name, are not botanically
related. the former belonging to the
nightshade family and the latter to
the morning glory family. The white
potato, as the consumer knows 1t. is
tuber, while the sweet potato IS a
root. The white potato is closely re-
lated to the tomato, SO close, in fact,
that the two may be grated one upon

According to Prof. Calvert Of the
University Of Pennsylvania, writing In
the July Morris Aboretum Bulletin,

to feed on not less than 2e0 kinds Of
plants. This makes the beetle prac-
tically omnivorous and 4 terrific men

He helped Trent to his feet with great solici-
tude. He gathered Miss LaGrange's handbag
and held her wrap. He led the way, weaving
through tables, and he was almost to the door
when he heard voice, dulcet and tender and
definitely alluring, calling to Trent He turned
slowly with siclsish sort of fear in his heart,
and saw Miss Estelle at nearby. ringside
table. With her was sgd Lugman, the Big
Boss himself. Mr. Lugman was showing off his
star in the smartest places.
Trent was already out of reach. He was
bending over to take Estelle's hand, which
was raised level with her eves tn he held or
kissed, as the gentleman would. Alex Trent,
meaning only to hold it, went off balance and
touched it with his chin. Miss Estelle smiled
ecstatically.
