determination of
Y arious Borers
Not Difficult

Roses and dahlias are commonly
affected with borers which eat their
way up the stems, doing extensive
injury. In bad infestations the
leaves wilt, the stems break off and
the plants become a disappoint-
ment. If the work of the borers is
noted early enough, the offenders
can be gassed and killed.
Carbon bisulphide. a vile-smell-
ing solution obtainable at most
drug stores, is the material used.
Fill an eye dropper with the solu-
ton and drop it into the hole on
the stem containing the borer, Close
the opening with putty, clay or
soap, so it cannot escape the fumes
and. unless it is too far down the
stem, its fate is sealed.
If the borer has worked its wav
well into the bush. it may become
necessary to amputate the stem
housing it and destroy it, but do
this only after trying the carbon
bisulphide
There is still another form of
borer which bothers the peach tree.
Unlike its relatives, the peach
borer gives abundant external evi-
dence OF its presence. Peach borers
cause the formation of thick masses
OF gum near the ground at the
trees base.
Paradichlorobenzene, also obtain
able from the druggist or scotsman,
spread on the ground near the
trees base and covered with SOIL
makes short work of peach borers.
Two ounces is sufficient for an
average peach tree.

Fertilizer Table

AS it happens. most instructions
for the use of commercial fertilizers
in home gardens are based on tables
which give the proportions required
for acres. Naturally the amateur
is puzzled to know how much to buy
to use for small plot. This diff
Guilty will be overcome if he keeps
in mind that directions for 100
pounds per acre can be reduced to
l pound for plot 10 by 43 feet
while 200 pounds per acre of fer
tilizer will equal pound for a plot
10 by 81 feet. Following this ration,
it is found that 400 pounds per
acre will equal l pound for a plot
10 by 81 feet. Following this ratio,
acre is at the rate of l pound for
a plot 9 by 10 feet. 1t is we'll to
remember that expensive CONNER
cial fertilizer can be used with less
waste If scattered along the rows
and worked into the soil with the
hoe, care being taken that it does
not come in contact with the
plants themselves.

Random Suggestion :

Gardeners

Many valuable shrubs and trees
are injured, if not ruined. by leaving
the wired tree labels attached. If
it is desirable to leave them at
tached care should be taken to see
that the wires are loose. If tight
they cut the bark and stop the flow
of sap as the branches grow in size.
The mock-orange is a splendid
spring-loWering shrub which often
tends to grow in rather unshapely
manner, This habit should be cor
rected by careful pruning as soon
as the last Of the flowers fade and
fall. BY removing a few of the

Leaf-mold and compost are often

monarchs as we'll as for the tiny

mold in spring is fully as effective as
any commercial product and in
addition adds humus to the soil.
We all have the habit of digging
dandelions and plantain from the
lawn in the early spring, usually
achieving smooth unblemished
blue grass lawn. With the coming

Hot Weather

Troubles
Special Treatment
Helps Garden to
Withstand Heat

Hot weather calls for special
treatment in the garden. 1t is then
that the skill of the gardener
counts. So long as the rains are
plentiful and nights cool, but not
too cool, flowers and vegetables will
go ahead with very little assistance.

enormous amount of water. Guilt
vation becomes vital, not only to
cut down the weeds which are COM
peting with the crops for subter-
ranean water and food. but to Gre
ate dust mulch, which will pre-
vent evaporation from the surface
of the soil and conserve it for the
plants.
1t is now that the application of
plant food becomes important for
stimulating the growth of plants
which otherwise would be inclined
to sulk. Insect attacks should be
dealt with upon their first appear
ance, since the warm weather not
only increases the number of the
insects but diminishes the resist
ance of the plants.

the complaint is often heard that
water does not seem to do much
good, and the reason usually given
is that the water is cold. But if
the water is applied in a spray

1t is probable that the reason for
disappointment in irrigation. as a
rule, is not cold water but INSULT
cient water.
The extent of evaporation during
hot weather calls for an eXtraordi-
nary amount of water to balance
the supply available for the plants.
The amount possible to apply by the
ordinary garden hose is insufficient,
and is made less effective when
sprayed through the air. It Is ad-
visable, then, that even with cold
water, if the amount that can be
used is limited, it be allowed to

try another part. Such soaking
should last a week, and the water
will not be cold very long.

Dig Small Beets

Beets are among the easiest to
grow They grow quickly. too, and
another planting now will give beets
large enough for the table long be-
fore the end of the season. 1t is not
necessary to let beets attain large
size before they are eaten. On the
contrary. it is better to dig them
when they are only half grown and
little beets are ideal for canning.
Some garden-m makers make a
liberal sowing of beets at this season
In order that they may enjoy beet
greens a few more times before the

same time kept most gardeners in
active. Leave the weeds alone and
they are apt to hinder the progress
of our flowers as we'll as spoil the
appearance of the garden The best
plan is to cultivate regularly, and
at least after each shower.
Gardeners who use mulches
around their flowers find them very
helpful in controlling weeds.
Mulches also help to conserve mois-
ture by reducing evaporation. In
addition, mulched soil does not
pack so quickly thus permitting
moisture to penetrate more readily
than on unmulched ground.

Many gardeners believe in re-
moving the Towering stalks and
seed pods of iris This practice
conserves the plants strength for
the formation of flower buds as
we'll as prevents the growth of un-
wanted seedlings.
An application of a good mixed
fertilizer will help to start ANIMALS
off to good season of bloom. Apply
at the rate of two pounds per 100
feet of bed after first giving it a
good watering A second appica-
ton may be made about the middle
of July, A similar feeding program
is recommended for the perennial
border.
1t is not too late to plant dahlias
and gladiolus. Many gardeners pur-
posely delay planting dahlias until
June as they are not anxious for the
plants to reach the Towering stage
until the nights are cool and fall
rains due. These give size and color
to the flowers.
Gladiolus bloom in from so to 100
days, and by delaying a part of the
planting long season of bloom is
insured. Liberal applications of a
high phosphate fertilizer and water
are necessary for all tall spikes
we'll filled with flower buds.
The Peruvian daffodil and the
Tigridia are two other bulbous
plants which may still be planted.
An easy way to increase the stock
OF columbine and delphinium as
well as many other perennials is to
plant the seed as soon as ripe in
protected beds. Thus planted the
homegrown seed usually germinate
very well and produce large husky
plants by the time they should be
transplanted to the perennial bor-
der in mid-September. July is nor
mally considered the month in
which to sow perennial seed.
The display of clematis at the
Leesburg Flower Show last week
interested many gardeners. The dis
play, probably the finest in this Sec
ton of the country was sufficiently
enticing to make most of us want
to grow these splendid Towering
climbers. Clematis are probably
the showiest of all climbers and are
worthy of wider use. They are
sometimes difficult to start, but bv
working lime and humus deeply
into the soil one should not have
too much difficulty. Prepare the
soil this fall for spring planting.
Buy potted plants.
Rotenone, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
is 80 times more powerful than
arsenate of lead as a stomach
poison for chewing insects and Is
times stronger than nicotine-sul-
phate as a contact spray for suck
ing insects. In addition to greater
killing power it is non poisonous to
warm -blooded animals A third
point in its favor is that it may be
safely used on certain plants such
as beans, peaches and plums that
are burned by lead arsenate.
Suckers often appear from the
base (root-stock) of grated shrubs
and trees, such as the Japanese
cherries, rhododendrons, roses, and
lilacs. If allowed to grow they take
the strength from the tops (grafts)
which will be stunted, if not killed.
These suckers should be removed
as soon as discovered leaving as
small stub as possible. Many
gardeners tear them from the root
stock In an attempt to destroy the
bud from which they emerged.

Continuous Bloom
Over Long Season
Easily Achieved

Flower gardeners can well take
lesson from the vegetable gardeners,
who grow several crops a season on
the same SOIL In the flower gar
den this insures continuous bloom
over long season. Do not follow
a plan made for by another. In
stead personalize your garden to the
extent that you grow only the plants
from which you derive the greatest
pleasure.
Start by planting flowers which
bloom in midseason among those
early boomers which you know will
desist about the time when hot
weather arrives. The early phloXes,
for instance, can have the new zln-
Mas as requirements. Tetra mari
Colds make a fine show growing
among the beautiful foliage that re-
mains after columbines have flow
cred. Chrysanthemums started in
another part of the garden or grown
as pot plants in frames can be use
full in replacing the waning mid
summer bloom.
Before you become too far in
volved in the plan, understand that
this system of gardening, while easy,
requires attention to details, but re-
pays the extra effort, especially in
gardens of limited size.
Not to be mixed are plants that
make specific demands. For in
stance, the heaths persist only when
furnished with an acid environment,
while many other families, espe-
cially irises and the rock plants, do
well only when growing in chalky
or alkaline soil. Keep these two
kinds thoroughly separate, and you
will find companion gardening pays
the dividends you have hunted.
