Pruning Roses

Climbing roses and ramblers are
best pruned as soon as the flowers
have dropped. Cut out the old
wood at the base as soon as RAM
blers are through blooming, leaving
the new canes, which will give you
next years flowers. Train new
canes to lattice and tie with soft
string.

worried ABOUT their deStrucClVeneSS
and methods of control. This pest,
which looks very much like a
tightening bug, feeds in the opened
flowers. 1t is difficult to poison them
and so most authorities recommend
hand picking They will soon dis
appear, however, and where the
flowers are cut in fairly tight bud
we can still enjoy them umblemished
by this pest. In the fall 1t is well
to clean up the rubbish and weeds
about the garden and in adjoining
areas where the chafers spend the
winter.
1t is time to begin spraying for the
gladiolus thrips If we are to have un-
'blemished flowers. The Department
of Agriculture recommends the Tar
ter emetic spray in place of the
paris green mixture formerly ad-
vised. Two ounces of tartar emetic,
8 ounces of brown sugar. in three
gallons of water. Apply as very
fine mist at intervals of five to seven
days. This will. In most cases, in
sure protection.
Sweet Alyssum, the low-growing
annual edging plant that Is so
widely used should be sheared If it
Is to continue to flower over long
period. Allowed to flower and form
seed it soon stops blooming. BY
shearing, first on one side and then
on the other, 1t is possible to have
flowers for most of the summer.
Removing the spent flowers from
early Towering ANIMALS often pro-
longs the Towering season. 1t is
natures way of perpetuating her
children-they keep growing and
Towering until they have an op-
portunity of forming seed.
Frequent cultivation Is fully as
effective as mulching as q means of
conserving the moisture. We should
cultivate at frequent intervals, but
more especially after each watering
or shower. This not only saves the
moisture but aids in controlling
weeds and crabgrass. Surface cul-
tivation Is fully as effective as deep
digging to conserve the moisture and
control the weeds. Many of the an
nuals are shallow rooted and are
injured by deep tilling. A weedy
garden not only looks disreputable,
but the weeds rob the flowers of
food and moisture. Keep them out
Of your garden.
It is not too late to buy ANIMALS
and plant them for fall bloom. The
newer types and colors of zinnias,
marigolds, verbenas, annual phlox,
and snapdragons are well worth hav-
ing. They provide excellent cutting
material over q long season. CAL
endulas and stocks are especially
good for cutting during the late
fall. They do not thrive except in
cool weather and hence are use
full for cutting after the zinnias,
marigolds and other hot weather
flowers have ceased to thrive.
As the oriental poppies die down
1t is well to throw a trowelful Of dirt
over their crowns. This prevents
water from standing around their
crowns during the dormant period.
Stem canker and brown canker
seem to be increasingly severe in
most rose gardens. This may be due
to careless pruning. 1t is easily
spread from bush to bush when
pruning. Whenever one accidentally
cuts through infected tissue the
shears should be sterilized in q
bichlodde Of mercury solution before
making another cut. Whenever one
sees . diseased cane 1t should be
removed, cutting or 3 inches below
the point Of infection, and burned.

flowers. Are they as husky and
strong growing as the favorites Of
yesteryear? Sometimes these highly
bred novelties have lost a part OF
their vigor in the process of secur-
ing new colors or other changes.
Several gardeners have mentioned
difficulty in starting the seeds of
Heavenly Blue and Scarlett OHara
morning glories. If you would try
to grow sweetpeas it is much better
to plant the old common form rath-
er than the newer ruffled types. 1t
is one thing to get a new color or
form of flower, but it is something
else when We must sacrifice the
ability to grow and thrive under
garden conditions. This is better
illustrated in roses than in ANIMALS
or perennials. The introduction OF
yellow and orange into the hybrid
tea roses brought much OF our
trouble with black spot. Not that
most roses are not susceptible, but
that the yellow roses are so subject
to attack that they infect all others
growing in the garden.
Many Changes
Are Noted.
So many changes have been made
In our garden flowers that 1t Is
impossible to mention more than
a few. Improvements in the shasta
daisies include both size and the
double forms. The largest shasta
daisies are Esther Reed and Mrs.
c. Lothian Bell, with 3 to 4 inch
flowers. The double shasta "chif-
fon" has enough petals to give 1t
q fully double appearance although
the yellow center is still plainly
visible.
There have been so many changes
In the daylilies (Hemerocallis) that
the old lemon daylily" (H. fava)
is almost lost. We not only have
new colors, but also patterns of
markings, a longer season Of bloom
and a double hower-Kwarso. The
lemon daylily was pale yellow,
but today we have various shades
Of yellow, apricot, orange and on
through to mahogany red.
AS mentioned above the petunias
have been improved in many ways.
The dwarf compact form. Cream
Star" is one of the newest. The
giant rufled, the balcony, the
double and the fringed are some OF
the types that are being widely
advertised. Then, too, the color
range has been increased. Some OF
the newer velvety-textured varities
are very snowy.
The hollyhocks have been the
subject of plant breeders expert
ments. There are double forms,
new colors and an annual variety
Indian Summer" Improvements
of the larkspur include larger
flowers and new colors. In many
ways the new larkspur are more
valuable to the home gardener than
are their perennial cousins the del
phiniums. They are easy to grow
produce abundant crops of flowers
and are relatively free of disease
The Stock and Giant
Imperial" strains are no doubt as
fine as any.
Russell Lupines
Interesting.
The Russell lupines have prob
ably received more publicity than
any other new flower. Very few
gardeners have as yet tried them
out. 1t is thought that they will
prove useful for those who have a
sweet soil that is we'll supplied with
humus. The Russell lupines are
noted for their variety of colors and
large size. An improved strain OF
the annual lupines is called the
"Hartwegi Giants" They are avail
able in several colors and are well
worth having.
Marigolds have had their faces
altered If any flower has. They are
available in a number Of forms, q
wide variety Of colors, and, in ad-

IT'S fairly easy to fool snake. He

docile and "tame."

For example you could, by law, merely deny or
curb the right of merchants and manufacturers to
advertise their wares. They pay for this privilege
now because it is the cheapest way to tell you what

and ink. Take away those revenues and a news

want his own ideas printed and no others.
There are other roads to dictatorship but this

road.

Your newspapers would ten you day by day that
you were incompetent, servant OF the state, an
insignificant atom in a great Plan.

You would be told where to co. what to do, what
to buy, what to believe.
Don't think that you would resist to the death.
Very smart Germans and Italians and Russians and
japanese and even Frenchmen could not withstand
this continuous whistng and humming!
What protects you, here in free America, from the
hypnotic influences Of dictatorship?
One great American institution comes instantly
to mind: your newspapers For how can dictator
sing his one deadly note to men and women who
hear all sides, who see the facts the TRUTH the good
and thei bad, faithfully reported day by day?
To charm you, dictator would need to control
what you read and hear and such control can only
come if you permit it.
