The Backyard
Gardener Saws

I read two garden articles In re-
cent magazines which set me to
thinking a bit-rather unusual for
me, admit-the thinking part,
mean.
One item stated that from July on,
the home gardener could more or
less coast. But I'm just telling you
If you want to coast to be sure to
take along some rotenone- -sulfur dust
and some er-arsenate- lime dust
to scatter by the wayside. Pests live
during July and August and Septem-
Der the same as they do at other
times.
The rotenone-sulfur is a general
dust for late diseases and insects.
The rotenone will take care of the
insects. and the sulfur will take care
OF mildew, rust and similar diseases
OF your flowers.
The copper -arsenate-lim dust is
just the thing for your tomatoes,
cucumbers, squash and so forth in
the vegetable garden. It might be
advisable to use just copper lime
dust when the tomatoes and cucum-
bers get ready for eating, although
a good washing will remove the
arsenate If 1t is used in dust form.
The other item I read was about a
600-brick fireplace in the back yard.
Well, I counted the bricks in mine
and there were IS. Not that the big
one isn't okay, but it cost too much
and Is too much trouble to build.
Mine Is Just laid together with no
mortar or cement, but I'm willing to
wager dollars to doughnuts that it
will cook just as much hamburg as
the 600.brick one will.

knowledge of Liquid
Plant Food Is of
Great Value
Star Stan Photo.

Few gardeners seem to have
knowledge of liquid plant food and
what it will do. Experienced gar
deners realize its value. 1t is a safe
stimulant, which is very quick to
act.
Liquid plant food can be made by
dissolving any of the tablet-form
plant foods in small quantities of
water. An average plant-food tab
let dissolved in gallon Of water is
about right. If you have nothing
but the commercial fertilizers at
hand, you can concoct a suitable
food by dissolving level teaspoon
full Of this in gallon of water, or,
If you want to 90 along with the
majority of gardeners. you will pre-
pare container Of liquid food made
by dissolving either COW or sheep
manure in large quantity of water.
To make this recommended food,
take about one quart of either COW
or sheep manure and place it in a
bag Of ample size. Suspend the
bag in f1ve-gallon bucket from a
stick placed across the top Of the
container used. Fill the container
with water and allow the whole to
steep for several days. After the
water has absorbed all the strength
in the manure, the bag can be lifted
and the residue disposed Of. For use,
this liquid, which becomes our stock
is diluted to the color of weak tea

Worthwhile Hobby
For Everybody

George Horace Lorimer, late editor
of the Saturday Evening Post, said:
"It is good to have money and the
things that money can buy, but 1t is
good, too, to check up once in q
while and make sure you have not
lost the things that money cannot
buy"
Two outstanding things that
money cannot buy are health and
contentment. But there are certain
hobbies you can ride that will give
you both, and gardening is one of
them.
What do people demand of a
hobby-that it relax them, rest them,
soothe their nerves, give them men,
tai stimulus. improve their minds.
give them exercise, improve their
health, satisfy their longing for
beauty and satisfy the desire Of the
individual to create.
Check these things over. Doesn't
gardening fill the bill on the ma
..ority? And particularly will it give
you health and a sense Of content
ment.
I once knew a woman who en-
deavored always to control her tenn
per. She had q very trying husband,
and 1t was . neighborhood joke Of
long standing that when she was out
furiously wedding the strawberry
patch she was working OIL irritation
at some particularly exasperating
thing he had done. She would laugh
about 1t after one of these episodes,
as heartily as any one, and it was
the combination Of active labor and
being out in the open air that
brought her perspective back to nor
NAL. For her, gardening was a safety
valve.
Gardening can be this and more to
all Of us. If you're not a gardener
now. try planting a small plot this
year-vegetables, herbs, a tiny lawn

Weeds Are Robbers

Not only are weeds unsightly in
the lawn and garden, but they are
very destructive to ornamental
vegetation, because their rank
growth takes much-needed moisture
and plant food from the soil.
This is particularly important at
this season of the year in those
parts OF the country where the cn-
mate in July is normally hot and
dry.
So get out in the vegetable and
flower garden and use your hoe
you'll not only get some good exer-
else and get rid of the weeds, but
you will create a dust mulch which
will be great aid in conserving
the available moisture in the soil.

ditionS, sprays for insects and fungus
diseases and other matters pertain
ing to the raising of the various
ANIMALS and perennials may be OBJ
tanned from the catalogues of rep
utable nursery and seed men.
The writer is trying to give some
little information on the varieties
OF garden flowers which have shown
high merit and which may be uti-
lized by the grower with the realiza-
ton that he will not be disappointed
with the results.
Two varieties of coryopsis are
worth while-grandiflora, showy,
bright yellow, very good for cut
ting and an old favorite In the
garden, and Mayfleld Giant, a deep
golden yellow, the blooms of which
are much larger than the former.
Keep cutting coryopsis for continual
bloom. If allowed to go to seed
and scattered by the wind you will
find plants springing up all over
the garden the following year.
Two Garden Pinks
Recommended.
Among the dianthus. or hardy
garden pinks, one should not fail
to have Crimson Bedder, very
snowy velvety crimson, and also
LONELINESS, mauve pink, very sweet
scented, with lacinated petals.
Very satisfactory for use In the
perennial border are the several
varieties of gaillardia, or blanket
flower. For a rich golden yellow
and strong grower the variety Sun
set will prove Of value. Dazzler is
bright yellow with a crimson CEN
ter. For blooms embracing the scar
let or reddish colors try Bremen,
coppery scarlet, and Burgundy,
good red; the flowers are sometimes
tipped with yellow.
The Shasta daisy, which thrives
best in a moist location, should
never be absent from the garden.
Alaska. a large single white, and
Giant Double, as its name implies,
large double, are highly recon-
mended.
There are, of course, many. many
more excellent garden plants. and
hybrids are being introduced yearly,
but the few that have been men,

only in the garden, but also added
attractiveness when cut and ar.

which produces an irritation of the
skin, very painful to those most SEN
sitive to it. 1t may be recognized
by its notched leaves, in groups of
three. Poison oak is another variety
OF sumac, similar in appearance, but
sometimes growing as a bush. A
tree, poison sumac, known as poison
ash or elder as well, is even more
poisonous than the ivy, but it is
usually confined to swamps. Other
skin irritants are the hairy prim-
rose of rough leaves and sometimes
the cultivated types of primroses.
Horses and cattle suffer most from
the internally poisonous plants.
Laurel and Jack in the pulpit, as
we'll as cowbane, monkshood and the
passion flower, with its gay blooms
and orange fruit. are poisonous to
cattle. There are several plants
which. If tasted. are poisonous to
human beings as well as cattle,
Darnel, a grass usually found in
cornflelds, will poison men, dogs and
horses. Others are the leaves of
the wild black cherry, the deadly
nightshade, whose berries and all
parts are poisonous, and poison hem
lock. The latter is tall, branching
plant, with divided leaves and white
flowers in compound umbels, similar
to Queen Annes lace. and growing
in waste places. Hellebore is an
other, a low plant of leathery leaves
and yellowish white blooms of five
sepals. Dogs are occasionally poi
soned by such plants, but more often
by mushrooms. which are also the
most injurious to human beings. The
poisonous varieties are difficult to
distinguish from the edible and only
an expert should gather them. The
amanita, for example, for which
there is no antidote, is sometimes
pure white. like an edible variety,
or with grayish or brownish cap,
also similar to edible varieties.

The Lack of Proper
Spacing Makes for
Poor Cultivation

Lack of proper spacing often leads
to failure to cultivate, to absence
Of essential air circulation, and con-
sequently to difnculties with disease
and insect pests. Adequate spacing
insures plants of air, light and ample
root run. Particularly is this nee
essary for plants subject to mildew,
rust and crown rot, such as the
hollyhock, phlox, snapdragon and
delphinium.
A local gardener has q fine large
plant of the campanula-canter-
bury bell-which she has kept al
most continuously in power by re-
moving the spent blossoms. This is
taking advantage of nature-plants
keep on trying to form seed and
thus preserve themselves. This prac-
tice of removing spent flowers and
thus preventing seed formation is
tedious, but it often greatly pro-
longs the Towering season.
X
During these hot, muggy days
frequent spraying of phlox and
hollyhocks with bordeaux, or dust
ing with sulphur is necessary to
protect them from rust and mildew
Roses need protection from black
spot. And, later on, hlacs will begin
to mildew and they will need dust
ing with sulphur.
Watch for the red spider; dusting
sulphur will control them. Care
must be used in applying it to see
that the undersides of the leaves
are coated. The red spider works
on the underside of the leaf, is so
small that it is difficult to see, and
often the first sign of its work is
a badly curled and yellowed leaf.
A strong spray from the garden hose
Is another effective method of keep
ing the red spider under control.
Now that the primary spikes Of
delphinium have faded, it is time
to cut them back and throw the
plants strength into the side shoots.
If this is done promptly, the side
shoots will continue to flower and
new shoots will come from the
base to furnish q second crop of
bloom. To let the plants set seed
Is to rob the new shoots of the
necessary strength for good growth
and Towering.
X
Climbing roses are beginning to
throw their new shoots. Have you
removed portion of the old canes?
1t should be done to make room
for the new ones; they will produce
the finest flowers next spring. We
should prune the large -fowered
climbing roses Immediately after the
Towering season is over. Remove
a third or q fourth Of them each
year and thus keep the plant within
bounds, and since 1t is the old wood
that harbors disease and insect
pests. this pruning helps to keep
the plants healthy.
The persevering gardener who
struggles with biennials thoroughly
enjoys the season at hand. This is
the season when the campanulas,
sweet williams, hollyhocks, foxgloves
and many other biennials give their
all In a grand display Of color and
cutting material. Start the seeds
now for next summers display and
you will be well rewarded with
strong plants to transplant in Sep
tember.

Slow-growing trees include the hard

Trees That Do Not

Trees that give very light shade
and hence make the growing of grass
beneath them easy include birch,
dogwood, maidenhair tree and the
mimosa or silk tree. Grass will grow
under most trees except the conifers
if the soil is kept well watered and
fertilized, and the branches are re-
moved to sufficient height to let in
sunlight.
Trees that are reported to be rela-

The japanese beetle seems to en-
joy the following: European white
birch, Lombardy poplar. willow. elm,
ornamental cherries and plums,
horse chestnut, linden and sassa-
fras. They are reported to be at
tackled most often and suffer the
greatest injury.
Sweet Gum Is
Dependable.
While the sweet gum is reported
as doing best on sandy soils it's rapid
growth, symmetrical shape, fall foil
age and clean habit makes it more
than ordinarily desirable. I would
rank the scarlet oak and pin oak
next in order because of their rapid
growth. The hard maple is also very
good, but it is much slower in rate
of growth. The tulip tree is a rapid
grower, but is frequently troubled
with scale insect in this area. The
sycamores are widely planted, are
rapid growers and are adapted to
almost any condition of soil or city,
but unless sprayed are subject to
defoliation by disease (but appar-
emily not serious) Among the ever
greens the Douglas fir, hemlock and
pine are all good as background trees
and windbreaks. In fact, they are
better adapted to such uses than
as foundation paintings. The holly
and magnolias are excellent speci-
mems, although slow growing. The
dogwood, mimosa (Albizzia julibris-
SIM and Towering crabs are excel
lent low-growing trees for lawn and
border.
Tree planting time is in Novem-

do it intelligently and In time. Keep

plants nave taken hold.
At my place the family demands
three of the ANIMALS in quantity,
the zinnias, the marigolds and the
cornflowers, the latter also known
as bachelors button, blue bottle,
ragged robin, etc.
Planted rather early and nursed
along were four or five varieties of
zinnias, which are now ready for
cutting to decorate the house. They
were OF the giant dahlia -f1owered
varieties and certainly live up to
their name. Among them Exquisite,
a two-toned light rose with deeper
rose at the center, proved to be a
delight to the family. Crimson
Monarch, as its name implies, is
beauty, being especially effective
when combined with the deep yell
low of coryopsis. Oriole, a glisten-
ing orange and gold bicolor, and
Canary Bird. a yellow self, are two
others which are greatly admired.
Zinnias, particularly on account Of
their long blooming season, which if
planted at intervals will continue
until frost, are ideal flowers for the
garden. They give a profuseness
of color and in size should please
every fancy, as they range from the
small baby or pompon varieties to
the giant class.
Marigolds Always
Good for (,uffinv
Along with the zinnias the seeds
of several varieties of marigold were
plantN1. AS yet only one plant has
bloomed, that being a variety called
Harmony, very good bloomer, the
center petals of which are golden
orange bordered by several rows of
reddish-brown outer petals. Several
varieties which were found to be of
high quality and excellence last year
were planted again this year. among
them being Guinea Gold, brilliant
orange flushed with gold; the four
Queens, golden, orange, primrose
and yellow; Royal Scot Alldouble,
mahogany and gold in uniform
