Boiling Flights

All objections to the construc-
ton of an airport at Gravelly
Point, including those of Senator
William H. King, have been
carefully considered and plans for
their elimination have been gone
into. it became known today.
1t is understood the CtVi! Aero
nautics Authority. with Army en-
gineers, considered all the obJec-
tions before President Roosevelt
early this week announced choice
of the site and that construc-
ton would soon begin.
OBJECTION REMOVED
Senator King, chairman of the
Senate District Committee and
memoer of the Congressional Air
port Commission which turned
down the Gravelly Point site,
stated yesterday that the commits
sion objected because OF the find
tngs of the late Gen. Oscar West
over, chief the Army Air Corps.
However, it was asserted the
chief objection to the site, its
proximity to Boiling Field, was
removed by plan submitted only
two weeks ago by General West
over, shortly before his death in
O California plane crash.
BUILDING REARRANGED
It was said the plan provided
for a central air traffic control
tower to coordinate flights of the
two fields.
Another obstacle, the proximity
OF the new U. S. Public Roads
buildings, is to be overcome, it
was said, by erecting the airport
administration buildings on the
same axis as the Government
buildings so that pilots would have
to allow for only one group of
structures in landing and taking
off.
It was also learned that actual
construction of the new airport
may begin within 80 days.

While hollyhocks are considered q

as biennials because the second and

while it is listed by a number of
seedsmen, it is seldom seen in Wash

cussion Of the matter this article will
treat Of the several familiar species
which one sees in this locality and also
some which are only viewed here and
there.
We should first familiarize ourselves
with what the term means as applied
to certain trees and plants. Any tree
or plant which holds its foliage from
season to season over long period of
time Is In this class. Leaves or needles
are eventually shed, being replaced by
new ones, but the process is of such
. gradual nature that it is hardly
noticeable Also the climate has a
peculiar effect upon some species; a
tree or plant which retains all the
characteristics Of an evergreen in a
mild climate may become barren Of
foliage during the winter when located
in the North. Common privet may be
cited as an example, being beautiful
green throughout the year in the
South and tending to blacken out as
we progress to the North.
Evergreens are generally clasSed or
divided into two groups-the conifers,
or narrow-leaved. and the broad
leaved evergreens.
THE conifers are characterized by
their sharp, needle-like, or fiat,
scalelike foliage. Under this class and
familiar to most OF us come the
spruces, the frs. the hemlocks. the
jumpers, the pines, the yews and the
arborvitae.
Careful study of the foliage OF above
species should enable us to readily
recognize them.
The spruces may be distinguished
by their bristly needles which cling
around the stem or twig We have the
same general appearance in the fir.
but upon examination will find that
the needles are longer, not quite so
clustered or dense and not quite SO
stiff.
The foliage of the jumpers differs in
that the needles are tiny, very sharp
there may be discerned q slight pur-
pie cast to the plant as q whole.
We should all know the hemlocks,
not only by their rather soft. small
fat needles, but by their interesting
branches, putting forth many branch
lets. giving a dropping effect which
adds grace and charm. Perhaps this
lack of strict formality emphasizes
their standing as one Of the best Of
the evergreens for park or lawn plant
ing.
X 4 + 4
THE pines, probably, should be the
easiest for us to recognize, as they
are in abundance. They are charac-
terized by long. needle-like leaves
forming in clusters OF definite num-
ber. The pine family probably ranks
first in value Of mankind. furnishing
a great variety Of ernamentals. as well

as producing timber, turpentine and
many other essentials.
Taxus, or more commonly the yew, Is
an evergreen which is beginning to
come into popularity. This family
gives the gardener a great opportunity
for effectiveness as the various spe.
cies range in height from foot or 50 TO
SO and so feet, will stand hard clip
ping and is an excellent plant for
topiary work. Its broad, glossy, fiat
leaves remain a uniform green coloring
throughout the year. They differ from
the spruce and fir in that they are
broader and extend on either side Of
the stems, producing flattened effect.
Growing very densely, they make
splendid hedge plants.
The arborvitae constitute q group Of
hardy evergreens characterized by
their compact pyramidal form. They
are used mostly as screens or shelters
in the garden and to give an outline
to foundation paintings Some OF the
dwarf forms are used in the North as
a substitute for box in planning Q
border.
THE few aforementioned evergreens
are all very hardy and grow ex-
tremely well in this locality We now
take up few of the broad-leaved
species, and this becomes a very in.
teresting field.
Foremost among this class we might
mention the American holly 1lex
opaca), which in the Southern States
reaches height of so feet. The leaves
are glossy green. rather broad and
stiff. and at intervals are very sharp
pointed. The holly ranges from very
hardy TO very tender Their principal
characteristic consists of clusters Of
red berries which are borne by the
female, or pistillate. plant On ac-
count of the great popularity Of the
foliage for Christmas decorations, the
holly in its wild state has been nearly
exterminated by thoughtless gatherers.
This situation has been recognized BY
most Of the States on the Eastern
Coast and laws have been passed pro-
hibiting the cutting of holly in the
Wlld state.
Two Of the broad-leafs which should
be grouped together in planting are
rhododendrons and mountain laurel,
which with a little special care and
attention to location in planting should
we'll reward the gardener
Box or boxwood, another Of the
popular broad-leaved evergreens, fur.
nishes the gardener with plant ma.
terial by which he can create many
and varied interesting effects. Care
should be taken even in this locality
to give the boxwood adequate winter
protection. Boxwood. variety suffruti-
cosa, is the plant We usually see. This
variety is exceedingly slow-growing
and increasing age adds to its value.
The specimens at Mount Vernon are
among the best in the country.

The Old Gardener Soys:

The little dwarf trees common
ly grown in foundation paintings
and bearing the name Of mugho
pine are subject to attacks by
a little green worm which works
very rapidly at this season.
Oftentimes its presence is not
discovered until much damage
has been done. If left undis-
turbed, these pests will denude
the plants and probably kill them.
Spraying with . good insecticide
is . preventive measure, but If
the pests are found working, the
best plan is to spray them with
nicotine preparation. taking
pains to hit them with the spray.
One or two applications will be
sufficient.

i ioned garden, and especially
enthusiastic about that lovely flower,
the hollyhock. Seems as though
there's nothing quite as demure and
striking at the same time, and with
the new varieties that reach six or
seven feet in height-some fringed
and with double or single blossoms
there's Just no limit to their possibih-
ties.
Now is the time to be planning for
your next years display Of these
graceful flowers. The seeds are SELF
sowing, but it is wise idea to pre-
vent this, for self -sown seedlings are
apt to be crowded and more suscep-
tible to disease from the old plants.
You will find your best results will
come from the following method:
Collect the seeds from your own
plants as soon as they are ripe. or
If you prefer. buy some. Start them
in q plant bed or box and as soon as
they are progressing favorably, trans
fer them into small howerpots-about
q three-inch size. When the cold
weather comes, place the pots in a
cold frame. for in that way the roots
will grow until the very cold weather
and the plants will start in the early
spring. At that time you may set
them out in their permanent location

The Oriental poppies are dormant
during July and August and if new
ones are to be purchased they should
be ordered at once. Then there are
those that are to be divided to give
an extra plant or two for filling in the
bed Perhaps they are to be moved 70
another location. Any one Of these
jobs must be completed before they
start their new growth in September.
In June we all remarked about the
beauty of a group of Madonna lilies
planted near delphiniums-a remark
able combination. We wanted to grow
them just that way, you will recall
August is the month to buy and plant
Madonna lilies.
Other bulbs to be planted this
month are the autumn Towering cro-
cus-C. zonatus. c. speciosus. C..
sativus, and the meadow saffron
(colchicum). They flower in Septem-
Der and October hence they should be
planted as early in August as possible
in order that they may become estab-
lished before their Towering season be-
gins.
Start the new lawn in August, or at
the latest, early in September. The
earlier the better, 50 that the new grass
may become well rooted before winter
sets in. Soil that is deeply prepared
and we'll enriched cannot be made in
