WPA CONDUCTS
Tree PLAN Ting
Sets Out One-Seventh of Area
Planted in Superior Natl
Forest Last Year.

WPA crews were responsible for
planting one-seventh of all the new
trees set out in the Superior National
Forest during the past fiscal year, ac-
cording to Glare Hendee, supervisor.
OF the 7,211 acres planted in the
Superior National Forest 1039 were
set out by WPA men, Hendee said.
In addition, WPA furnished all Of
the labor for the U. S. forest service
nursery at Eveleth and carried on pro-
jects in campground construction, plan
tation, release, hazard reduction, tim
ber stand improvement, and repair and
maintenance of fire equipment. They
have assisted in completing many worth
while projects for which labor was
otherwise not available"
For every four and one-half trees
set out on the national forests in the
north central region last year one was
WPA planted, Jay H. Price, regional
forester at Milwaukee, reports. While
it was generally known that WPA
crews were employed in the national
that these emergency workers planted
many trees.
During the last fiscal year, which in
cluded the fall and spring planting
seasons, 77,000 acres were planted o1
which the WPA was credited with IT.
900 acres. CCC crews, the regiona
forester said, of course carried the
biggest load in the planting program
last year as they have done in pre-
vious years. More trees were planted il
the national forests of Michigan las
year by the WPA than any other stat,
and Minnesota third. Many of tn,
WPA crews who planted trees on tn,
national forests were also employed
in forest service nurseries where the,
handled all phases of nursery worl
from preparing the seed beds to pack
ing and shipping the stock to th
planting sites on the national forests
WPA crews according to forest ser
vice figures, said Price, may boast o
many other accomplishments in for
estry work in all parts of the region
In the national forests of Indiana
Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri tree plant
ing is not carried on as extensively a
in the lake states but there is NOR
erosion control work, building chez
dams, and treating gullies. On a.

shy of color, their blue or white
flowers are most welcome. Taller
than the foregoing. they make an
ideal subject for. the back of the
border. Give them room, or they
will crowd outaess vigorous growers.
The Chimney bellhower &C. pyra-
madalis), a biennial, is not often
grown because of it's temperamental
habits, but once established, it is a
priced possession in any garden.
The tallest of the bellflowers, 1t Is
a strong competitor with the del
phinium for attention. The S to
foot stems are fragile and need
stalking.
The foregoing are among the
taller OF the well-known garden
species. Among the low-growing
bellf1owers, the Carpathian hare
bell and the Scotch bluebell are
best known. Both are unusually
fine for the rock garden with their
slender branches that bear a shower
of bluebells from early summer to
late fall. The Carpathian harebell
&C. varpatica) likes a cool moist
situation and has shorter stems that
bear the deep blue or white flowers
over a long season. The Scotch
bluebell &C. rotundifolia) is some
what taller growing-to IL inches
and in spite of its name is native to
parts of this country. The lavender
blue flowers are snowy in rock gar
den or rock wall. Occasionally we
find it grown as an edging plant
in the shady border.
A rock garden gem, the Dalmatian
bellflower, has a terrible botanical
Nance. portenschlagiana. It Is
not as widely grown as 1t should be,
largely because it is not so we'll
known. 1t is relatively free from
pests. 1t makes mat that is
covered by blue-purple flowers from
June until fall. It delights in a
stony soil and a half-shady situation
in the rock garden.
The above are only few of the
representatives of this large and
useful family. Bellf1owers as a
whole should be given attention If
for no other reason than to extend
the season of bloom. However, they
have other uses. They make splen-
did cut flowers, and also do very
we'll when grown in pots for use
on sun porches and terraces.
The Towering season may be easily
prolonged by removing spent bloom
although their season is relatively
longer than that of many Of our
common garden plants. The Chm
ney bellflower normally flowers over
a period of six weeks, while many
of the rock garden species bloom
from midsummer until frost.
1t is suggested that gardeners try
some of these easily-grown species
and in time you will include many
of them in your garden whether it
be a perennial border. rock garden
or rock wall.

Green Grows the City
Is Delightful Book
Published by Harcourt, Brace

uOttotCu w Huf CUuft, 0THCS
& Co.
This is a totally new type Of
garden book-not one of that nu-
merous group which tells how and
when to do this or that essential
job. but delightful description of
the efforts of one Englishman to
make narrow, triangular-shaped
lot into "a thing of beauty and q
JOY forever"
This queer lot, which seemed so
discouraging at first, Is situated in
a suburb of London. Only an Eng
lish gardener with his desire for
real garden on small plot of land
could have so humorously but
pertinaciously wrangled with the
problem.
There is detail, of course, as to
the plants used and the construc-
ton of walls, greenhouse. and such
matters. Considerable time is given
to the difficulty in appeasing a
nearby neighbor who disapproved Of
everything done.
Although the whole story is told
In such a humorous vein, there is
much Of real worth to be gained
from it and it is we'll worth the
short time required to read it.
