Exterminating Weeds

Many Of the weeds on new lawns
are ANIMALS, and may only be eradi-
Gated If they are prevented from seed
ing. 1t takes just about one year
to rid your lawn Of these Objectionable
weeds. Many others, such as docks
and dandelions, are perennials that
have underground fieshy roots. The
way to remove these is to dig deeply
and pull them up. Cutting below the
surface will aggravate the situation,
- three or four shoots will start In
pia6s OF one.

The Old Gardener Soys

The English daisy, BELLS prem
mis-, to give its proper botanical
name. Is easily grown from seed.
Seeds sown in late July or early
August will produce sturdy plants
which will bloom next spring and
will be welcome additions to the
rock garden, or to edge perennial
borders or bulb beds. It is best
to SOW the seeds in a cold frame,
where they will be protected dur
ing the winter. They may then
be set in their permanent posi-
tions in early spring. If cold
frame is not available, however,
the seedlings will usually 20
through the winter if they are
grown in a protected spot and
covered with a mulch when the
ground freezes. If wintered in
the cold frame the little plants
should be given an abundance of
air on all but the coldest days.
Plants from the cold frame may
be taken into the house and
forced into bloom during the
winter.

Live Inmates
OF Gardens
Helpful
Destructive Pests
Are Controlled by
Creatures Aid,
Star Stan Photo.
BY EDITH HOUGH.

A MoNG the living creatures which
haunt gardens some are perhaps
unpleasant to see, but few fail to
be Of valuable assistance to the gar
dener. Many should not be removed,
for they destroy thousands Of insects
every season. Although toads are
far from attractive, they live upon
the insects and cut-worms which in
jure the flowers. Land terrapins also
feed upon common plant enemies
These animals do no damage while
making their homes are usually out
Of sight, and continually reduce the
number OF insects. Another insect.
killer is the Praying Mantis 1t i.
similar to the grasshopper and forms
curious praying attitude with its
front legs. Although not common, it is
sometimes found here.
Snakes are generally looked upor
with horror and treated unjustly. But
they alone can kill the moles which
SO often ruin lawns and gardens by
their tunneling and are most difficult
to destroy. The Copperhead is the
only poisonous snake in this region.
1t can be detected easily by its dull
brown color and the pits on either
side Of its head. The Black Snake,
the Garter Snake, the spotted adders,
and the many other common snakes
are very different from the Copper
head in appearance and are quite
harmless. They are also insectivorous.
Aside from these, there are many
animals which are decorative as well
as useful in the garden. II there are
any still pools, goldfish are indis-
pensible, for one or two fish will pre-
vent the breeding of mosquitoes. Birds,
the greatest insect destroyers, and bees,
which fertilise the flowers and eat
smaller insects, cannot be over-en-
couraged. 1t is noticeable that bees,
as well as birds, drink from q bird
bath. They may be seen often about
one in swarms. The exquisite Hum
ming Bird may be attracted by the
Trumpet Creeper. It is particularly
fond Of this vine. which may be grown
on tree or trellis nearby, If not
desired in the garden. These birds like
phlox, nicotiana and lilies too and will
drink from tiny bottles Of syrup
suspended beneath q blossom or leaf.

The Garden Notebook
Red Spider Is Serious Menace
To Evergreens at This Season.

removing from the hot water they
should be placed in q dark place for
a few hours. This applies principally
to the lsrge-fiowered varieties, as most
Of the little pompons and bedding
dahlias will last fairly well as cut
flowers without such treatment.
Midsummer Is the time to buy and
plant Madonna lilies Il. candidum)
They are dormant at this season and
new bulbs should be obtained as early
as possible, for all lily bulbs dete-
riorate rapidly in storage.
The Madonna lily, like most other
lilies, requires good drainage Pre-
pare the soil deeply but plant the
bulbs in holes four or five inches deep.
A handful Of bone meal just below
the bulb sweetens the soil and pro-
vides phosphate. The Madonna lily
makes both root and top growth In
the fall and goes through winter with
q rosette of green leaves, which should
not be covered.
Moss is not always q sign Of sour
soil. 1t is usually found on wet,
poorly-drained soils, soils that are
deficient in plant food, or where there
is considerable shade. When such
soils are properly drained moss soon
disappears, especially If it is we'll
fertilized.
Even on lawns where there is good
drainage some moss will appear dur
ing prolonged periods of excessive
humidity.
Ant hills in the lawn or garden are
easily destroyed by pouring a few
drops of carbon bisulphide or one of
the chemical forms OF hydrocyanic
acid gas down the hole. If the hole
cannot be easily located one may be
made with q sharp stick. After apply
ing the poison q wet newspaper should
be spread over the hill to keep the
gases in.
Destroy the nests Of the black ants,
as they frequently kill trees and
shrubs that shade their nests.
Crabgrass Is q real pest in the per-
ennial border, the lawn, and the rose
beds. 1t makes an amazingly rapid
growth and Is about ready to take .
bed before 1t 10 noticed. There Is only
one sure way Of control-pull or hoe
it out before 1t has q chance to get
started.
Crabgrass grows SO rapidly that it
smothers out small plants and grass.
It's rapid growth is possible because Of
its strong. vigorous root system. The
ground under . mat Of crabgrass is
dry even after shower. It's large root
system effectively removes the mois-
ture from the soil, and. Of course,
from the flowers, grass and shrubs.

TINE painted daisy (pyrethrum)
may be divided at this season.
The crowns are readily sepa-
4 rated and the divisions will
make good growth between now and
fall. Division of the crowns should
be relied upon to increase the stock,
as seedlings ordinarily contain large
proportion Of the less desirable colors.
This is especially true of the double
painted daisies, as only a small pro-
portion Of the seed will come double.
Two Of the fau-fowering plants
easiest to grow belong to the Eupato-
rum family-the hardy -ageratum, or
mistfower (Eupatorium colestinum)
and the snow thoroughwort or white
snakeroot (E. ageratoides). For the
gardener who wants flowers and foli-
age with the minimum amount Of
work these two are highly recon-
mended. They flower in the late
summer and fall and are of the
easiest culture. growing in almost any
soil, although a rather light, we'll
drained soil in a sunny location will
produce more and larger flowers. The
mistflower Is native to this region. The
snow thoroughwort is the taller, grow
ing four to five feet, while the mist
flower averages about two feet.
The red spider is a serious pest at
this time of the year, especially on
number of the evergreens. 1t causes
them to turn brown. The simplest
control for this pest is the garden hose.
Spray the evergreens with a strong
stream from the hose two or three
times week. Other methods of con-
troll include spraying with colloidal-
sulphur. nicotine sulphate. lime-sul-
phur dust, and rotenone.
During periods of prolonged drouth
lawns need some watering. Soils that
are deficient in humus need more
frequent watering than those which
were carefully prepared before seed
ing. Water infrequently, but thor
oughly, once a week, or, better still,
at To-day intervals. Let the hose or
sprinkler run for no less than 80
minutes at each setting. Shallow
watering tends to bring the feeding
roots to the surface Of the ground.
where they suffer from dry weather.
Frequent light waterings also encour-
age the crab grass. Blue grass when
once dormant is best left alone.
Watering will stimulate the crab grass
into growth which will choke out the
blue grass.

ers bought hydrangeas only at Easter
time.
The blue hydrangea, as it is usually
referred to, belongs to q group called
the shiny-leaf hydrangea Oh. opu-
loides), although it is also spoken of
as the Japanese, the florists, the
French and, in the North, as the house
hydrangea. Where they are hardy the
shiny-leaf are particularly useful along
the seacoast-but their attractive TO-
liage and large flowers make them
desirable in many other situations.
They are not hardy without protec-
ton north of Philadelphia.
OF the many varieties of the shiny
leaf in commerce, the variety coerulea
is reported to be the most hardy, but
all seem to grow and thrive here.
Those in the more exposed situations
probably do not bloom so we'll The
usual colors to be seen are pink and
blue, although some white varieties are
listed. The intensity of the blue color
varies considerably, even in single
border, due to variations in the soil
acidity. In fact blue hydrangea may
be made pink by adding lime to the
soil, or pink may be changed to blue
by adding peat moss, leaf mold. alum,
aluminium sulphate or iron sulphate to
the soil The old tradition that rusty
nails and iron filings would turn them
blue has not been borne out by scien-
tific experiment.
t&*
WHILE lime may be desirable to
w keep hydrangess pink, too much
lime seems to be detrimental to their
health. To keep the blue color or to in
tensify it add alum or aluminium sui
phate "a level tablespoonful to the gal
lon of water), giving each plant quart
at time at weekly intervals until the
desired shade is obtained. The crys-
tails may be scattered on the ground
from ne-fourth TO two pounds per
bush, depending upon the size-and
hoed into the soil. In preparing for
new plants it is a desirable practice
to combine peat moss or leaf-rnold
with the soil, not only to secure the
blue color but to increase the water
holding capacity of the soil.
The shiny-leaf hydrangea is differ
ent from all other types of hydrangeas,
in that 1t should be pruned in the
summer after blooming. The buds
for next seasons bloom are formed
this summer and fall Spring pruning
or winter killing of buds curtails the
flower display.
OF the American types of hydran-
eeas, hills-of-snow (H. arborescens) is
probably the best known. 1t grows to
10 feet and bears rather fat clusters
of white flowers in June. The oak
leaf hydrangea Oh. quercifolia), a
native Of the South but hardy to
Philadelphia, is very attractive. 1t
has leaves shaped somewhat like the
oak, hence the name, and the fiat
clusters of flowers appearing in early
summer contain many sterile flowers
which turn purple. Other American
