OF the berried shrubs which deco
rate our gardens during fall and
winter none is more snowy than the
frethorn, Pyracantha coccinea. It
is seldom that the common name of
. plant has the same meaning as the
technical one, but here Is an excep-
ton to the rule: pyracantha is q
Greek word, which, translated lit
orally into English, is firethorn.
Botanically, 1t is close to the CO.
toneasters and hawthorns, and like
these, its chief value as an orna-
mental shrub lies In its colorful
berryike fruits and fine foliage.
The firethorn is q dense evergreen,
and, as the name indicates, thorny
shrub which will grow to . height
Of 8 to 20 feet, depending on loca-
ton. The leaves are small and dark
green; the flowers which come in
small clusters in spring are white,
but not very conspicuous except in
mass; they have q sweet odor which
may be disagreeable to some people,
but can hardly be termed offensive.
In midsummer the berries, according
to variety. begin to turn from green
to q lovely red or orange color, and
from then until late in Winter the
shrub makes an attractive display.
The red berried form is Pyracantha
coccinea, and the one with orange
berries is a variety Of the same
known as P. coccinea var lalandi.
Many uses can be found for the
arethorn. The cut branches are
ideal for indoor decoration, whether
used in massed bouquets or in the
stylish line arrangements, by them
selves or mixed with other berried
branches, fresh flowers or dried ma
terial. In the garden the plant must
be given q sunny location. To be
sure, it grows well enough in shade,
but it will not produce flowers and
fruits in abundance without direct
sunlight.
Trained against . wall it is espe-
cially happy and in such . place
reaches its greatest height and ef-
fectiveness.
The foundation planting in front
Of most houses is generally done with
evergreens, and while this Is not at
all q bad custom, the placing Of q
firethorn or two between the ever
greens or in front Of them will add
q desirable note of color which no
one can fail to appreciate. In the
shrub border the firethorn is very
much at home, and finally, it makes
q flne evergreen, dense and colorful
hedge.
There are several pitfalls to avoid
when buying plants of the firethorn.
It is difncult to transplant success
fully when large unless 1t is moved
with q firm ball of soil. The root
system is rather poor, and even small
plants should not be moved with
bare roots. Seedlings may be 10 or
more years old before they flower
and fruit, 50 it is best to avoid them.
The most satisfactory way is to select
q small or medium sized plant Cor
plants while in fruit and have the
nurserymen plant It in well drained
soil. Purchased IN this manner with
planting included In the price, most
nurserymen are willing to guarantee
the plant to live and give satisfac-
ton.

fer cool soils. This may be provided
with mulch or by planting them
among low-growing plants and
shrubs. Most gardeners use mulch
ing materials.
Regal Lily
Popular.
The regal lily is probably the most
widely grown lily in local gardens
and 1t seems to take kindly to gar
den treatment. Growing 4 to s
feet high and being relatively free
from disease, 1t fits into the garden
picture very well. The bulbs should
be planted 10 to IL inches deep. It
may be grown from seed or from
stem bulbs. The large white
trumpets tinted with purple on the
outside midrib are very snowy.
The speciosum lily is an August
Towering bulb that does very we'll
as a cut flower. The buds open
indoors and single stem will often
last week or 10 days. The petals
are deeply reflexed. It is available
in white (album), pink (roseum) !,
and deep rose (rubrum). The
petals are hecked with reddish spots.
Plant the bulbs 8 to IL inches deep.
The old-fashioned tiger lily is
still worth growing. Do not, how
ever, plant it close to other lilies
(25 to 80 feet), as it carries virus
diseases which, while not injuring
1t, are often fatal to other lilies.
The bulbs should be set about 8
inches deep. The reddish flowers,
faxed with brown spots, appear In
July,
The earliest Towering lily is the
coral or tenufolium. It is q dwarf
among the lily family, seldom grow
ing more than 2 feet high. The
bright coral-colored flowers are
snowy. It fits well into the peren-
nial border and rock garden. The
small bulbs are set only 5 inches
deep.
The swamp lily. also called Amer
can Turks cap Il. superbum), Is q
native and likes a moist situation.
1t does well in partial shade and
will tolerate fairly dry situations II
the soil is well supplied with humus.
The orange-red flowers are specked
with purple dots and the petals are
deeply reflexed. Plant the bulbs
from 6 to 8 inches deep.
Several New Varieties
Well Worth Trying.
A rather new lily that seems to do
well in local gardens is the Philip
pinense. The variety .formosanum,
especially, does well in local gardens
and merits wider planting. The
white trumpets appearing in August
and September, closely resemble
those of the Easter lily. Plant the
bulbs inches deep.
The hardy Easter lily Il. longi-
forum giganteum) seems to do well
for some of our local gardeners.
With the exception of tenufolium,
the above-named varieties will last
for several years in the average
garden. This, however, depends
upon securing healthy bulbs in good
condition. Diseased bulbs should be
avoided. Insist on clean bulbs and
avoid the necessity of spraying. If
bulb appears diseased burn it.
Lily bulbs do not retain their vital
ity for a long time when dug. so it
is wise to buy freshly dug bulbs or
grow your own from seed,
Most kinds of lily bulbs are plant
ed in the fall. Some of the imported
bulbs do not arrive until December,
however, and the beds for them
should be mulched to prevent freez-
ing.

Bonemeal and Mixed Fertilizers
~ Are Recommended for Peonies

Most gardeners are prone to neg
lect their peonies, but food and cul-
tivation are necessary for choice,
long-stemmed flowers. DR.. E. A.
White, an outstanding grower Of
peonies, recommends the applica.
ton Of bonemeal In the fall and q
mixed fertilizer in the spring. Work
these fertilizers into the soil by
cultivation, but keep them away
from the crown of the plant.
Bonemeal, a commonly used fer
tilizer, is solw-acting and needs de-
caying humus to make it available
to the plants. Therefore, it is best
applied at planting time, mixed
deeply into the soil with some form
Of humus. The usual forms of bone
meal contain from 3 to 5 per cent
nitrogen and from IL to 16 per cent
phosphate. The balance is lime,
about 30 per cent. Raw bonemeal
contains more nitrogen than the
steamed bone, but Is slower acting.
Apply bonemeal in the fall or sev-
eral months before it will be needed
by the plants.
Newly planted evergreens will
need frequent watering during the
winter. Their abbreviated root sys-
TENS are unable to supply the neces-
sary moisture for q considerable
time after planting and hence sup
Elemental watering will go q long
way toward insuring their survival.
Do not water oftener than once .
week, but soak the ground to q depth
Of 6 to 10 inches when you do.
One way to insure permanent
labelling Of dahlia bulbs Is to wash
the tubers and then write the va
riety name or q key number on the
tubers with an indenble pencil.
