IS. Flaherty led a low heart to the ace, which revealed the trump sit- uation. A low club was led and West went right up with the ace and re- turned a spade. Declarer ruffed, then played three rounds of dia- monds; the king of clubs and an- other club were led, forcing East to trump for another trump end play. He led the eight, which was won by declarer with the nine, adn an- other club lead put East in again for another trump end play.
 In all, East and West won two clubs and one trump trick, an ap- parently insufficient return for Vests high cards and East's trumps, but with North's very fine play, they could do no better.

Leaves From
The Garden
Notebook
Many Annuals Will
Be More Compact
If Pinched Back.

HARDY garden chrysanthemums
= = may be treated to produce many
branches and quantities of flowers, or
they may be disbudded to produce a
single large flower
Most gardeners prefer bushy plant
with numerous flowers. To accom-
plish this the plant should be pinched
back, i.e., the tip of each shoot cut or
pinched off in May and June. A few
types and varieties, such as the
azaleamum type and to a lesser ex-
tent of some of the Koreans, branch
more freely and so require less pinch
ing.
To obtain large flowers all of the
side shoots are removed during the
growing season, and in the fall when
the flower buds show all of the buds
are removed except one of the termi-
nal ones This throws the plants
strength into the one flower and it will
be several times as large as normal
Even with such treatment, however,
do not expect flowers from the hardy
garden type as large as the Japanese
type as grown by the florists.
A well-grown chrysanthemum plant
that has been pinched pack twice
should have a Towering head foot or
more across-this from a single root
set out in April or May.
The above applies to many Of our
ANIMALS. For compact. bushy growth
pinch out the top. This forces the
axillary buds to develop and become
side branches.

Ornament Gourds.

Have you tried growing ornamental
gourds in your garden? And do you
know that on the West Coast vast
gourds are so popular that there is a
Gourd Society, and they even hold
shows to exhibit them? Vines of all
kinds are never given enough attention
to my mind. especially since they take
up no room to speak of, and can so
easily beautify an otherwise ugly spot.
Gourds especially can give so much
fun, and be sure to save enough of
them to make into ornaments for the
house in winter and useful objects
that can be put to work for you. The
round ones can be bird houses with q
round hole in one side; ash trays, cut
in half; flower holders, toy dishes for
the children and countless other
things. Dip the curious ones in q
bright lacquer paint and, together
with pine cones, string them on q
stout piece of twine, and 10! you have
a Mexican-like ornament to hang in
your rumpus room or breakfast nook.

|Resetting or
Dividing Iris
Needs Care
Fertilize New Beds
Before Planting
The Rhizomes.
Star staff Photo.

NOW that the iris season is about
over, it is time to consider di-
viding and resetting. Iris are at their
best two years after resetting. The
first and third years are only fair,
depending upon weather and cultural
conditions.
In thinning iris the plants should be
lifted, the soil deeply spaded and the
plant food replenished. This is espe-
cially important, since surface feed
ing is rather impractical Well-rotted
manure and bone meal are dependable
fertilizers for the new iris bed. Applied
in the bottom of a trench and COW
cred with clean soil, they do not come
into contact with the rhizome (the
thick fieshy part from which the
leaves grow.
A fertilizer made from leaves, COW
manure, ammonium sulphate, sheep
manure and bone meal composted for
a year or two is excellent for growing
exhibition iris.
The clunp Of iris may be divided
into as many pieces as desired, but
a strong double fan is q desirable
size for planting. Large single fans
on big healthy rhizomes should bloom
the first season after planting. Small
fans on small rhizomes may not bloom
until the second season.
Formerly iris were planted in a we'll
lined soil. Today the accepted prac-
tice is to plant them in beds that
are slightly acid, on the theory that
there Is less trouble with soft rot. Wet,
poorly drained soils, whether they are
sweet or acid, promote soft-rot
In planting iris the roots should be
well spread. Set the rhizome level
with or slightly below the surface
Of the bed Space the new plants
about 18 inches apart. Cut the leaves
back at least half.
In dividing iris clumps discard all
parts infected with rot, either the soft
rot or the dry-rot. These parts that
are apparently sound coming from an
infected clump should be treated with
sulphur, bordeaux or bichloride of
mercury. If borers are present, they
should be dug out and killed.

The non-blooming tendency of tho
peony may also be caused by several
other diseases, the most serious being
a blight caused by the parasitic fungi
OF the genus Botrysis, familiarly the
gray mold. This makes its appearance
by a broWnish- black discoloration Of
the stems, the foliage and the young
bud. In an aggravated case the stems
will break off at the soil line. This dis
ease is very dangerous to a planting,
as the fungus spores may be carried
by air currents and insects and even
by the hand to other plants. Spray
ing with applications of copper lime
dust early in the season and continued
at timely intervals probably is the
most effective control This should
be done, If possible, when the plants
are wet with dew.
IF ALL planting requirements are
met with, the culture should be
quite simple. Soil around the plants
should be kept loose and clean. After
the shoots have reached a height Of
2 to inches I work in a 1875 fer.
tilizer, which means it contains per
cent nitrogen, 8 per cent phospheric
acid and 5 per cent potash. This
ratio supplies the necessary COM
pounds which the soil needs. This
plant food should be thoroughly
worked into the ground, taking care
that it does not come into contact
with the roots. AS it is very soluble,
a good wetting, preferably by rain,
helps greatly to carry the food down
to. where it does the most good. Later
on. after the blooming season, fer
tilize with bone meal, repeating the
process again in the fall.
A dressing of COW manure over the
winter and worked in carefully in the
spring is very beneficial as this will
give the necessary humus, which is
lacking to great extent in the clay
soil in the District and vicinity.
The peony is rated generally as the
Memorial Day flower. and owing to
the mild winter and the exceptionally
warm spring, the blooms certainly will
be out on time. should judge. after
an examination of my own plants, in
the vicinity Of Kensington, Md, they
will be about week ahead of sched-
ule. In fact, rubra plena (offcinalis)
the old-fashioned red garden peony,
and Richard Carvel (sinensis), good
early red, are in full bloom.
To the prospective buyer of peony
l..
ton: Visit some garden where there
is planting Of many varieties and
choose your collection by observing
the bloom and the plant BY doing
this you will not be disappointed in
your purchase when your own blooms
appear.

Protect Fish
Against Too
Much Sun
Partly Shaded Pond
Best for Outdoor
Varieties Home.
BY MARY ALLEN HOOD

PLACE the goldfish pond in q
spot that's fairly well shaded.
Too much sun means too much
oxygen. Even an outdoor fish from
the great open spaces can't stand
that. The heat of the water, oxygen
and food must be kept in something
resembling ratio. An overdose of
sun causes an increase Of oxygen on
account of its action on plant life
within the pool. OF course, too much
sun means warm water, which Is
all right, but the fish will have to
eat more than usual to keep from
mixing up his metabolism.
That isn't so bad. The rub comes
when fishy starts growing too fast,
leaving childhood days behind In a
hurry. Then he passes on at the
flrst cool spell, just as his owners are
relaxing. All this because his pond
had the majority of its water in the
sunlight.
Incidentally, in stocking a pond get
fish from q reliable concern. The

The Old Gardener Soys:

The growing OF old-fashioned
f1avoring herbs in the home gar
den is again becoming popular.
Home-makers have come to real
ize that food is more appetizing
when given the subtle flavor Of
the proper herb or herbs, and
that fresh, homegrown herbs are
more flavorful. There Is room
for q few herbs in every garden,
no matter how small. A few rows
at the edge Of the vegetable gar
den will provide space to grow
an ample supply for the average
home. Herbs require a we'll
drained soil and a sunny location.
The following kinds are easily
grown from seed sown outdoors
in May after the soil has had q
chance to become thoroughly
warm: Anise, balm, basil, borage,
chives, coriander, parsley, rose
mary, sage, summer savory, sweet
marjoram and thyme.
