The Garden Notebook>>>
Start Cannas in Shallow Box
Filled With Sifted Ashes

The coverings have served their
purposes and If removal is delayed
much longer the tender young shoots
about to push through the ground
may be broken off. Also, young
shoots suddenly exposed to a bright
sun suffer more or less injury from
burning.
II you must delay removing the
mulches until after the new growth
is visible wait for cloudy day to do
the job.
Now that the soil has dried out
sufficiently we should promptly start
the planting or transplanting of
evergreens planned for this spring.
Early spring planting is essential If
they are to be given an opportunity
to become thoroughly re-established
before hot weather checks growth
activity. Otherwise, frequent water
ing will be necessary, especially for
shrubs with southern exposure.
Some evergreens have already
started their spring growth and it is
desirable In most cases to give them
their annual pruning as soon as pos
sible. An annual pruning does much
to keep the evergreens compact and
from outgrowing their location.
However, in pruning care should be
used to avoid giving them a formal
clipped appearance.
The third item of spring care is
the application of a mulch. Com
post, leafmold, or peatmoss may be
used. If additional vigor and growth
are desired, cottonseed meal and /or
complete fertilizer may be mixed
with the mulching material. How
ever, the use of a fertilizer around
foundation paintings is not advis-
able If they are to be kept within
bounds. Where 1t is desirable to
use plant food. to 2 pounds of COT
tonseed meal per tree or shrub care
fully mixed with the compost will
furnish nitrogen for the leaf growth,
Where a commercial fertilizer is to
be used the application recon-
mended is to 3 pounds per 100
square feet of surface.

force into early blossom.
Fruit Branches
Offer Beauty.
Branches from fruit trees also
bring forth fragrant and colorful
flowers at least a month in ad-
vance Of those out of doors, and
give spring-like appearance to the
house while outside it is still winter
like. Some Of the most dependable
ones are the apple, cherry, peach
and plum-but the sweetest of all is
the wild crabapple, which may be
more difficult to get than some of
the others.
Now, for those who prefer sprays
Of foliage in variegated hues rather
than flowers for decorative pur-
poses there is the grape, barberry,
red maple, alder, birch and many
others.
In choosing branches for early in
door Towering, be sure to select those
with buds-if there are no buds
then there will be no blooms or
colorful leaves to repay you for your
trouble. The buds are formed in
the fall. Flower buds are larger
than leaf buds and easy to dis
tinguish-so watch closely for them
Cut the branches, with a sharp
knife, on a slant and not straight
across, split the stem about an inch
this allows the water to penetrate
the entire stem more quickly. Next,
stick them down in containers of
water, and place in warm, sunny
spots throughout the house.
Shorter branches come into bloom
much sooner than the tall, grace
full ones so desired for artistic ef-
fects-my pussy willow is acting just
that way.
In furnace-heated houses the air
is often dry, in which case dip the
entire branch, top down, in water
every day for a week or 10 days
be sure that the entire plant is sub
merged. Do not crowd too many

Do Not Transplant
Bluebells While
In Full Bloom

In April and May when the blue
bells mertensia virginica) are in
flower along creeks and rivers,
usually in low shady places, the
temptation to dig up a few and
transfer them to the garden is
great. The plant, with its pink
buds and trumpet shaped azure
blue flowers growing to an average
eight of 18 inches makes good gar
den material, but it is a mistake to
transplant it while in bloom It can
be done, but the result is seldom
satisfactory.
When a start once has been made
1t Is easy enough to increase the
planting by division of the clumps.
This is best done soon after the
foliage has died down. Self sown
seedlings may also be expected
where conditions are favorable.
The bluebells thrive best in the
garden where some natural shade is
provided by tall trees. Plenty of
moisture is ideal during the growing
and blooming season, but not so
necessary during the long resting
period which follows soon after the
last flower has faded.
A place which suits the primrose
or English cowslip will also suit the
Virginian cowslip as the bluebell
sometimes is called. And the two
cowslips so very different from
each other and not at all related
make a charming combination. 1t is
one of the few plant combinations
which can be depended on to mate
rialize. Year after year they will
be in bloom at the same time.
Lack of primroses, however,
should not keep one from grow
ing the bluebells. They might be
lost in the perennial border where
1t would be difficult to keep track
of them unless well marked; but at
the base of trees or in an open shrub
border it is possible to find room
for few clumps. Where daffodils
are naturalized in open woods or on
the banks of streams they can be
used to advantage; and if one has q
wild-garden 1t would hardly be
complete without a drift of blue
bells.

Blooming Tree

Dwarf fruit trees not only provide
attractive bloom but their size is
in keeping with the area of the
average city lot. Where a large
ornamental is needed, consider the
dwarf apples, pears and peaches.
Certainly their bloom is as attrac-
tive as the Towering cherries and
crabs, and their fruit is in no way
different from that produced by the
standard trees. That they bear at a
much earlier age is another point
in their favor.

ana lne remaining CROWN mas all
Of the grace and beauty of a young
plant. This method Of pruning
avoids having all of the bloom at
the top of the bush and a dis
pleasing display of old knarled,
stumpy branches below.
Number of Pruned
Branches Varies.
Since some shrubs tend to throw
many more new shoots each season
than others, the number of branches
to be removed will vary. The more
vigorous growers need to have the
greater proportion removed, while
the slower growers should be lightly
pruned. A few shrubs like the bush
honeysuckle 0onicera) cannot be
cut back to the ground without re-
moving too large a proportion of the
bush. Pruning of such shrubs con-
sists of cutting branches back to the
main trunk.
ConiferouS everygreens as group
should be given a trimming in the
spring before new growth starts.
This trimming or pruning, which
consists of shortening last years
growth a half to two-thirds, is to
keep them compact and in the case
of foundation paintings to retard
the rate of growth so as to keep
them within bounds. In this work
an effort should be made to retain
the plants natural grace and out
line. hence an all-over "shingling" is
to be avoided. Clippers or shears
applied to each individual spur or
branch will accomplish this result
The broad-leaved evergreens
(rhododendrons, azaleas, lockwood,
etc. ordinarily need very little
pruning at any time unless to re-
move a dead or broken limb. Oc-
casionally a branch may interfere

with passersby and should be cut
back to a bud or to side branch.
The azaleas, as a group, are pruned
after Towering and then only
enough to keep the bushes shapely.
Boxwood is seldom pruned except
to remove dead branches and win
ter-killed tips
The pruning of deciduous, spring.
Towering ornamental shrubs should
be deferred until after the flowers
have fallen. The reason for this is
that the flower buds are formed in
the late summer and fall and so
cutting off the branches and tWigs
removes just that much Of the dis
play. Of course, dead and broken
branches should be removed when
ever noticed, be it spring or fall.
Scheduled for
Fall Pruning.
The summer and fall Towering
shrubs may be pruned in the late
fall, winter or early spring. Those
that flower on new growth, such
as the crapemyrtle, hydrangeas
Except the blue hydrangea), budd-
LEILA, ETC., should be pruned rather
severely if large flowers are desired.
However, if size and quantities OF
bloom are desired the pruning is
much less severe. Where gardener
desires a few show blooms on his
rosebushes he may cut them back to
six or eight buds, whereas for a
shrub effect he may limit the
pruning to the removal of dead and
weak, spindly branches.
The vines are treated in much
the same way. Evergreens, such as
the ivies, need only to have dead
branches removed. Summer-floW-
ering vines. the wisteria, some OF
the clematis and the climbing hy-
drangea, may be cut back severely
in the spring to stimulate vigor and
size of flowers.
Shade trees, like the evergreenS,
need very little pruning, except to
keep them in shape, and to remove
dead and injured branches, and to
insure strong branches. The latter
Is necessary to prevent weak forks
which are likely to split under the
u,eioht of Srou or the force of wind
and rain.
The pruning of ornamentals tc
accomplish the desired ends re-
quires much less cutting than is
commonly thought. Severe pruning
at intervals of several years Is
hardly to be recommended, but
rather a moderate amount each
year so that the bushes are con.
stantly being renewed.
