Gardening in Shade

Because gardening in shade has
for 50 long been . problem Of much
questioning and relatively little sue
cess, a new book by H. K. Morse,
entitled Gardening in the Shade, %
and published by Scribner's, should
be of great help to many gardeners.
So many gardeners who have
shady yards find themselves quite
at loss as to what to plant that
will give satisfactory results. This
author makes many timely sugges-
lions under the different headings
of full shade" Eight shade" and
half shade" BY the last term he
means ground that is shaded for
half the day. He admits that these
terms must all be relative until such
time as shade may be accurately
measured by some scientific instru-
ment.
Under such interesting chapter
headings as white Flowers In the
Shade" water in tho Shaded Gar
dsn," which deals With tho plsnt.

Many gardeners In this area, a.
In others I suppose, after planting Q
few things In shady spots, often
without due preparation, give up
entirely, saying that they have
shady yards and one just can't
grow anything in the shade. But
this author shows that by proper
soil preparation and the proper
choice OF material, depending upon
the density of the shade in each
particular spot to be planted, sue
cess can be had. To aid all such
gardeners he has lists Of trees,
shrubs, plants, vines and bulbs, 50
that each has only to make his or
her choice. Then by following d.
rections for preparation of the soil
and further care of the plant, even
the gardener with the densest shade
has . reasonable chance for s,sc-
eees. W. EY.

we cannot do without the old-time
favorites. the nutmeg-scented and
the rose geraniums. Our grand
mothers used the leaves Of the rose
geranium to flavor apple jelly.
Geraniums will not die If one for
gets to water them for several days,
but they want all the sun they can
get.
Winter sunbeams can be multi
piled in the nursery or living room
with an aquarium garden. The most
common of the rooted oxygenating
plants are Vallisneria and Sagittaria,
but true aquarium enthusiast will
enjoy rare aquatic plants. Cryptic
coryne has broad leaves and sends
up q red bloom like q miniature
Gala lily. Another water plant,
LYdwigia, is fascinating because the
uhderside of the leaves is red. The
names alone of the water plants
are exciting: Salvinia, Riccia,
Anacharis, Nitella, Myriophynum.

Explanation
OfAutunn
Coloring
Leaf Changes Due
To the Mixture
Of Pigments

"Frosts hasten but do not cause
the coloration of leaves in autumn"
says DR.. Henry F. Meier, head of
the Department of Forest Botany at
the New York State College Of
Forestry, Syracuse, N. Y. The riot
of colors in the leaves of many forest
trees at this season Of the year Is
due to a mixture Of four colors-
green, red, yellow and brown.
with the coming Of autumn, with
its attendant changes of light and
temperature, the leaf ceases to
manufacture green pigments (chlo-
rophylD. The chlorophyll already
present soon fades and the yellow
pigments (carotin and xanthopylD,
which are always present with the
green pigments, become visible.
1.-THE red color is due to a pigment
known as crythrophyll or anthocyan.
Some plants normally have a large
amount of this red pigment dis
solved in the liquid part of the
cells Of the leaves as In Japanese
naples and copper beeches. The
red pigment in autumn leaves, how
ever, is produced during the fading
OF the green pigments. This fading
lets the light bring about the
chemical reactions between the
sugars and the tannins and possibly
other substances that form the red
pigments. That light does play an
important part is suggested by the
fact that the red coloration is most
abundant in sunny climates and
bright seasons; also by the fact that
If a leaf is intensely shaded by other
leaves, it will not turn red. The
yellow pigments are present in all
red leaves, but are not visible be-
cause the red outshines the yellow.
The oaks, naples and sumacs have
either large amounts of sugar or
tannin or both in their leaves and
consequently show the most brilliant
reds"
Brown is due to several sources, Z"
says DR.. Meier. yellow pigments
known as f1avones break down and
give rise to brown celebration; prob
ably oxidation of other substances
like tannins In the cell wall brings
about the same brown color which
occurs in wood when exposed to light
for long time. Autumn coloration
is most brilliant where transition
from summer to autumn Is rather
abrupt as In New England, where
we find autumnal coloration Is beau.

Emphasizing beauty first, we keep
flowers in the window that will blend
with and bring out the colors in
draperies, walls and rugs. The GRIM

Of the Gordon Dunthornes. asked
Mr.. Dunthorne how he kept these
bulbs year after year, and his answer
was that any one can do so easily,
but he has lost some because after
their blooming they were not given
enough water. It is then that they
need water for leaf growth that
strengthens the bulb, for the bloom
often appears. before the leaves.
They bloom at any time from
Christmas to May. In the summer
Mr.. Dunthorne plunges the pots into
the garden border and gives the
plants a little food. In the fall,
when the leaves turn brown, he
takes the pots up and turns them
on their Mdes, In dry place, SO
that the bulbs may rest for three
months. Then they are brought out
and given top soil, a little feeding
and kept watered. They do not re-
quire full sun. ,..-
The indoor herb garden is inter-
esting and useful and even one pot
of parsley can be beautiful. A win
dow box Of thyme is lovely and the
plants can endure dry, sandy soil.
My favorite thyme is the lemon
silver leafed one, but the common
English and French are the varieties
grown for seasoning soups, omelets
and stews. Grow chives for cottage
cheese, bush basil for French dress

and trees may need stalking. Rose
bushes, in addition to the mound,
may be cut back to about 3 feet.
Young trees with tender bark or
that have not become sufficiently
established to obtain necessary
moisture may need their trunks
wrapped with burlap. In the case
of lockwood, lath or burlap screen
is desirable. Rhododendrons, as well
as the narrow-leaved evergreen, in
exposed places also benefit by such
| screens.
Foundation paintings may need
stronger protection if there is danger
of snow slides from the roof above.
Poles, corn fodder, large pine boughs
or planks may be used.
Snow and ice often collect on the
evergreens and injure their shape.
This damage may be avoided by
wrapping or tying them with cord
or burlap.
Rodent control.-Mice often dam
age trees and shrubs by gnawing the
bark, and bulbs by eating them. The
only safe way is to poison or trap
them, although it is possible to put
wire collars about the trees and
shrubs and to fence in the bulb
beds. The removal of all vegetation
from around the base of a tree will
tend to prevent injury.
Store tender plants.-Plants of
doubtful hardness may be stored in
coldframe or in frostproof base
ment. If left out of doors they may
be covered with dirt. boxes, or some
other covering material Regardless
of the cover used, care should be
taken to avoid smothering by max
ing some provision for air circula-
ton.
Markers.-Mark all plants with
strong labels as means Of pro-
tecting them during the early spring
cultivation. Especially those that
are slow to start into spring growth.
The tip of lily shoot is very tender
and careless step, or the touch Of
a hoe will remove all possibility of q
flower during the current season.
Digging under grass and weeds
Fall spading of weeds and other
vegetable matter is recommended as
means of Fastening decomposi-
ton. Ground that is spaded in the
fall and left rough will in the spring
be of very good filth. This is due
to the freezing and thawing which
pulverizes the soil.
Top dress the lawn.-Top dressing
the lawn with enriched soil (top
soil and fertilizer, or with peatmoss
and fertilizer is widely recon-
mended practice that is seldom fol-
lowed by local gardeners. Manure
is frequently used, although it pro-
duces more weeds than anything
else.
Winter pruning.-Fruit trees may
be pruned during the winter, but
the pruning of most ornamentals is
best deferred to early spring.
Dormant sprays.-The use of
dormant sprays Oime-sulphur or
miscible oil at winter strength) is
desirable as protection against
scale insects and as a means of
cleaning up diseases, but do not use
on evergreens. Spray on a sunny
day when the temperature is above
As and is likely to be above freezing
for at least II hours. Complete
coverage is essential for effective
ness. In bad infestations an APP
plication in the late fall or early
winter and again in the early spring
is advisable.
With all of these things accom-
plished the gardener may sit by his
fireside and await the crop of new
seed and plant catalogues.

Soil
Preparation
For Lilies
Excessive Moisture
Is Not Tolerated
By This Plant
Star Stan Photo by Elwood Baker.

When lily bulbs are once planted
in q well-prepared bed, they can be
depended upon to grow and in.
crease In size and beauty for severa,
years with little or no care. II
one Is to enjoy them at all they
must be thrifty and vigorous. A
sickly appearing lily detracts from
rather than adds to the beauty
Of the garden.
The heavier clay soils in this
area require more careful prepara-
ton than do the lighter soils. Lilies
will not tolerate wet feet. Even
excessive moisture from humus in
the soil can cause rot and disease.
In the preparation of a lily bed
1t is we'll to dig out the soil to q
depth of 10 inches, deeper if DRAIN
age is to be provided. Cinders,
gravel, or broken rubbish can be
used for the drainage layer. Over
this place a layer consisting of
half sandy garden loan and half
humus, such as compost or leaf
mold. This layer ought to be at
least 6 inches thick. For the next
layer use fairly clean sand in which
the bulbs may be set. In case it Is
not desirable to use the sand as 4
layer, 1t can be placed around the
bulb when planting.
The top layer, which should be
at least 6 inches thick is made up
of two-thirds sandy garden loan
and one third compost or leafmold.
The basal roots Of the lilies will
feed in the lower layer of enriched
garden soil, while the stem roots
will obtain their food and moisture
from the upper layer. Leafmold
or woods soil may be used for the
full depth of the bed, the lily bulbs
being set in a pocket of sand.
This may sound like considerable
effort, but when one stops to think
about the depth of planting, a deep
" prepared bed Is certainly justi-
fed. Most lily bulbs are planted
from to IL inches below the sur
face Of the ground. The exceptions
among the more commonly grown
lilies are the Madonna, Coral (tenui-
folium), Leopard (pardalinum) and
Martagon.
When planted in q carefully pre-
pared bed such as described above
the lilies can be depended upon to
make . splendid showing. Any of
them win flower freely and make
strong, healthy plants, whereas
those planted without adequate
preparation viii barely grow and
II thsy flower ct Ill viii have stunt
