Mimosa Tree Easily
Grown From Seeds.
IN WASHINGTON We grow a ANA,

N WASf1Nt1ON We grow small,
attractive tree which goes by the
name Of the Mimosa. It's common
name, however, Is the Silk Tree (Al-
bizzia julibrissin). This Is well adapt
ed to the average city lot. It makes
q very rapid growth. There are speci-
mems in this area that are 80 feet
high. In July and August it is usu-
ally covered with . fuzzy pink bloom.
There is a variety (rosea) that Is .
brighter pink. The leaves are similar
to, though smaller than, those Of the
honey locust. It Is hardy and does we'll
under local conditions, although this
is reported Is being the Northern limit
for its use.
The Mimosa tree has . graceful
spreading habit Of growth that goes
well with the small house-that Is,
1t does not dwarf the house q 50 many
Of our shade trees do. Its rapid growth
makes it almost ideal as q shade pro-
ducer for the new home. Since It
gives comparatively light shade
growing grass beneath the Mimosa Is
easy-bluegrass thrives in its shade.
The Mimosa is easily propagated
from seeds and from cuttings. It seeds
very freely and most gardeners who
have q Mimosa tree in their yard also
have . quantity Of seedlings to get
rid Of. These seedlings may be lifted
and transplanted when dormant. Since
the Mimosa tree Is tap-rooting, the
seedlings should be transplanted while

Many Plants
Can Resist
Insects
Japanese Beetles
Leave a Certain
Species Alone.
By HELEN VOGT.

THAT ancient and very reliable
adage, An ounce Of prevention
Is worth a pound Of cure" is one that
can easily be applied to your garden.
Taking steps to prevent disaster Is al
ways . safe move, and none more
logical than heading Oh the ravages
Of insects before they are permitted
to take their toll.
The Japanese beetle-that most
harmful Of pests-can be stopped by
very simple measures-namely, select
ing those plants that are not subject
to its attack. There Is a group Of
plants that does not appeal to this
scourge, and it is wise idea to con-
slider them when planning your garden.
OF course, such measures are not al
ways possible, for there are many con-
ditions which make the selection of
these plants difficult, but for the most
part the plants listed below have been
observed to be injured only to a slight
extent or not at all by this insect.
1t is a wise idea, then, to select
some Of the following for your garden
from the list given in one OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture circulars:
Ornamental garden plants -Calen-
dula, carnation, chrysanthemum, COL
umbine, coreopsis, cosmos, gladiolus,
goldenglow, iris, larkspur, lily, mas
turtium, pachysandra. pansy, peony.
petunia, phlox, poppy, snapdragon,
sweet pea, tulip and violet.
Ornamental vines-Clematis, Eng
lish ivy, honeysuckle and wistaria.
Ornamental shrubs and trees-Ash,
arbovitae, azalea Except deciduous
varieties), beautyberry, box, beech,
catalpa, chamaecyparis, cypress, deut-
zia, dogwood, euonymus, fir, forsythia,
goldnower, hemlock, hydrangea, juni-
per, lilac, locust, maple Except Nor
way maple and japanese maple)
mock orange, oak Except pin oak) ,
pearlbush. pine, poplar, privet. red
bud, rhododendron, snowberry, spirea,
spruce, sweetgum, tupelo and weigela.
Although this list is not entirely
complete, it should aid you in select
ing plants that will not only be at
tractive additions to your garden,
but which will also help you to avoid
the trouble that 50 often arises from
an invasion by the insect world.

midal in appearance, the lower
branches somewhat dropping, while
the middle or higher ones have an
upward trend. Be sure to allow this
specimen plenty Of room, as 1t Is Of
rather rapid growth when once started
and the branches will spread IL feet
or more and the tree often shoots up-
ward over so feet.
A MOTHER fir which should receive
deserved attention from the
gardener who wants grace combined
with beauty and distinctive color Is
the concolor FIR ca concolor). 1t Is Q
native Of the Colorado Rockies and
was discovered and named by DR..
Engelmann, who introduced and rec
commended it highly to American
planters.
The concolor is decidedly an acqui-
sition, its general outline being sym.
metrical but without any trace of
stiffness. Authorities agree that It is
perhaps the nearest to blue Of all the
evergreens. Plenty Of room must be
allowed for its development, as it
grows rather large and retains It's
lower branches.
Perhaps one Of the most graceful
and snowy Is the American white
spruce (Picea alba). This tree, being
especially suitable for tall background
paintings, will also stand severe shear
ing and because Of this characteristic
is often utilized as hedge plant.
A close relative of the white spruce
Is the Black Hills spruce (Picea cana
densis). Black Hills spruce is char
acterized by its compact and bushy
habit OF growth; probably the most
compact growing Of the spruce family.
The color varies from a green to
blush tint which appears always
bright and fresh. A native of the
Black Hills country Of the Dakotas.
OF course, the pride Of all garden
ers Is q specimen Of that most beau
tiful Of all the conifers, the Colorado
blue spruce. A tree Of regal grace,
unylelding in outline, 1t is comparable
to an oak among the conifers. Being
wonderfully beautiful and hardy in
every part OF the country, this speci-
men should be most welcome guest
in every homestead.
For general all-around utility we
must not overlook the Norway spruce
(Plcea excelsa). It grows tall and
picturesque. hardy tree, graceful In
all its lines and Is adaptable to severe
pruning. 1t Is often used as a hedge
and many farmers fnd it to be an
excellent windbreak. It Is, as its name
implies. a native Of the scandinavian
countries, but thrives almost every
where.

In selecting jonquils for planting
the average home owner is somewhat
confused by the looseness with which
the term "jonquil" is used. Jonquil
refers to that section OF the daffodil
family which has dark green, onion
like foliage and small flower clusters.
The single jonquil, especially Jonquilla
simplex, has rich yellow flowers and
q delightful fragrance. There are
some hybrids. however. which are
much larger flowered. Most Of them
do not have quite the number OF
flowers per stem and some Of them
do not have the delightful fragrance
Of the single jonquil. Nevertheless,
they are worthy Of planting. OF these
varieties Gold Soepter and Orange
Queen are probably the most widely
grown. Buttercup and Lady Hillegom
are worthy Of consideration.

The Old Gardener Says :

Amateurs often think they can
save money by going into the
woods and digging up small ever
greens. In the majority Of cases
these evergreens die. Some Of
them live, to be sure, and the
owners boast Of their success.
These trees, however, are not
likely to be as symmetrical or as
satisfactory as those purchased
from nurserymen. The reason Is
that in a good nursery the trees
and shrubs are transplanted oc-
casionally in order to keep the
root growth compact. Moreover,
when the trees and shrubs are
shipped, 1t is always with q good
ball Of earth around the roots.
this earth being held in place by
burlap. 1t is essential to keep
the roots Of evergreens protected
from sunlight and drying winds.
Wild plants almost invariably
have long roots which must be
cut of, and as a rule most Of the
earth Is lost from the roots In
the transplanting process. Un-
der such conditions success u not
likely.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct. Z
U.N.S0 President Roosevelt may
attempt to break down the current
organized labor war by appointing
an impartial fact-finding COM
mission to investigate underlying
causes in the A. F. of L.-CIO
struggle.
1t has been suggested to the
President that survey of domestic

taken in connection with British
and Swedish labor conditions,
might go far toward obtaining "a
specific formula for American Ia

Haywood Broun, president of

own heart in his manager, John ]. McGraw.
It was the Brush-McGraw combination that
really put New York on the big-league oaSenau
map, and young Brannick fell into pretty good
school. Brush died in his private car en- route to
San Antonio Tex, where he always spent his
winters and was succeeded in the presidency Of
the baseball corporation by his son.in-law, Harry
Hampstead.
HempStead who died not long ago, had also
been a merchant in Indianapolis, and he was
fine chap, but he lacked BruShs love of baseball
and his showmanship. He finally sold his con.
trolling interest to the late Charles A. Stoneham,
whose son, Horace Stoneham, is the present
president.
Promotion Finally Comes
IT WAS young Horace Stoneham who finally
moved him up into the Job that Brannick
should have had long time ago. That was only
little over year back, and the promotion came
when Brannick lad almost given up hope of
moving another inch.
There were loud cheers from all sides when his
lift was announced. Not many men have as
many friends and well-wiShers as the former
Tenth Avenue boy, who now makes his home up
in the Bronx. He still talks with Tenth Avenue
accent, however.
ToHN T. BRUSH gave Brannick check for
$4,000 to hurry to the bank for deposit one
day and the errand made the office boy late
in reporting to McGraw at the Polo Grounds to
double in charge Of the baseballs It was check
from the late Harry M. Stevens. the conces-
sonaire, and it is Brannick's impression that it
was to meet some emergency. McGraw wanted
to know what had made him late and when
Brannick told him. McGraw roared:
Never you mind about Brush and his $4,000
checks. You get here on time to look after these
baseballs"

than 1000 happy souls dwell in this picturesque
