~ OCCASIONALLY one sees fine
1 beds Of the China or annual
I aster in local gardens, but
~ more often these asters prove
disappointment, growing vigorously
for short time and then becoming
stunted and yellow There are two
major plant diseases responsible for
the failure Of asters.
The first, known as wilt, Is caused
by a fungus known as fusarium The
organism lives in the soil for two or
three years, making it advisable that
the same soil be not used for asters
more often than once in four years
The soil may however, be disinfected
with formaldehyde, using a solution
of one pint of the chemical in 80
gallons OF water First spade up the
proposed bed and then apply the
solution at the rate Of one gallon per
square foot. Better results will follow
If the treated soil is covered with
canvas or gunny sacks for the week
following treatment After removing
the covering, reWork the soil and,
after another week, planting may be-
gin Substantial progress has been
made by plant breeders in developing
wilt-resistant asters and the gardener
is urged to use these new kinds
Aster yellows is a different trouble
that does not live over in the soil, but
in the tissues of perennial plants.
such as shasta daisy. pyrethrum,
satisfy. lettuce, dandelion, phlox.
plantain, etc, several of which plants
are always in the lawn and garden.
The disease is carried to the asters
by leaf hoppers, which may be ex-
cluded by growing the asters in cheese
cloth tents or fairly well by repeated
spraying Of the asters with nicotine
sulphate spray or dust. Employing
fusarium-resistant seed stocks and
spraying as indicated should make
possible the growing Of China asters
again.
Root lice some times attack the
aster in destructive numbers, but may
be controlled by pouring a half cup
OF nicotine solution around the base

appearance, but also because they
may harbor disease spores to attack
the new growth. If not already
fertilized, the rose beds should be SO
treated, as within a month now the
plants will be in full bloom. There
is 4 lot of satisfaction after two years
Of Winter killing to find even the
more tender varieties are in excellent
condition. This should mean q fine
crop Of early roses.
Aphids will shortly appear on the
tender young growth If they have
not already done SO and should be
promptly destroyed with nicotine or
pyrethrum materials obtainable in
concentrated form at most any hard
ware or seed store. It is strange how
the young rose leaves are so reddish in
color, later turning green as they en-
large. These young leaves are re-
markably resistant to frost despite
their apparent tenderness.
Disbudding is necessary to secure
fine individual rose blooms, and, If the
lateral buds are pinched out shortly
after they appear, there will be no
wound left on the stem. Usually the
terminal bud is selected to remain, as
1t is the largest and strongest. Dis
budding accompanied by good culture
Is the secret Of the fine, large roses
that take the prizes at the shows.
Valuable Foliage.
THE leaves Of the Spring bulbs, such
as crocus, hyacinth, snoWdrop and
narcissus, should be spared, because
therein is being manufactured the
foods that produce next years flowers.
One Of the easiest ways to destroy cro-
Gus is to cut off the leaves with the
flrst moving OF the lawn. In three or
four weeks the leaves will turn yellow
on the early bulbous plants, indicating
that they are maturing and ceasing to
function. That will be soon enough to
cut them of. Strangely enough, no
one can replace with fertilizer or other
nutrients the substances that are man.
ufactured in the leaves under the
beneflcence Of the sun Fertilizers aid
by building strong plant that is bet
ter able to manufacture food.
In the lawn itself, too frequent and
too close cutting is harmful Most
lawn mowers are adjustable so that
the roller may be dropped down. with
the result that the cutting bar Is raised.
This prevents too close clipping Of the
young grass and clover. Not only Is
the top growth reduced by close cut
ting, but the root system is also re-
duced, making the plants more sus-
ceptible to drought and competing
weeds. Too great anxiety to have an

The Garden Clubs.
| AN INCREASING interest is be-
ing manifested in Washington in
the principles Of Japanese flower ar
rangement, the method that empha-
sizes simplicity and the utilization
OF buds, stems and foliage instead
OF placing almost sole reliance on
masses Of blooms, as so many Of US
do. The leading exponent Of the jap
anese method Of arranging flowers is
Mrs. Herbert S. Greger, who received
a masters degree In the art from the
famous Koun O'Hara School in To-
kio, Japan, following an intensive
study for many years in the elements
OF the proper method of arranging
horticultural material
Mrs. Greger. who has opened the
1kko Greger School Of Flower Ar
rangement in Washington, will be the
guest speaker at the coming meeting
of the Woodbridge Garden Club at 8
o'clock Monday night, May g. in the
Sherwood Hall, Twenty-second and
Rhode Island avenue northeast.
All lovers of flowers, especially
those interested in new methods of
arranging flowers artistically, are in
Vited to attend.

A GARDENER writing in the Rural
New Yorker reports that parafln
gave him excellent results in grating
apples. This material is available in
any grocery store. All exposed sur
faces should be covered with melted
wax heated just enough to convert 1t
into liquid form.
One may gain week or two on such
tender crops as sweet corn and lima
beans by planting seeds in paper pots,
vegetable cans or other containers in
the house or in hotbed. Later, about
the middle of May, when the last frost
has passed, these plants may be trans
planted into the garden Rather
obviously. such culture is only for the
small garden because Of It's cost.
Tomato plants are now in the stores
in great quantities. There is really
nothing gained by setting tomatoes,
sweet potatoes and other Summer
vegetables before the middle Of May.
With cool temperatures just above
frost, tomato leaves turn yellow and
the plants are actually set back rather
than forward.
Dahlia seed is offered in some seed
catalogues and is indeed interesting
material to play with. The seed should
be planted early in boxes OF soil and
the young plants later transplanted
to the garden. 1t is something OF a
venture as to resulting colors and
form, but many gardeners enjoy ex-
perimenting
