Deutzias Enjoying
New Popularity

Deutzias, the old-faskioned shrubs
with modern improvements" by the
noted French hybridizer, Lemoine,
and other plant wizards are in bloom
now, although their normal blooming
season is late May and early June.
Lemoine crossed the dwarf species,
D. gracilis, with other species and
obtained race of handsome shrubs,
some of which grow as tall as 6
feet. Their blooms range from white
to deep pink and there are both
single and double forms in rather
dense clusters. The original one,
Deutzia lemoinei bears pure white
flowers. Then there is lovely D.
rosea a delicate pink D. scabra is
All old-time form introduced from
China more than 100 years ago and
still frequently seen
Any of the Deut1iaS is we'll worth a
place in the border or around the
dooryard, or even in foundation
paintings. The plants are not greatly
troubled by insects and they grow
in any well-drained soil which is
not too acid.
Deutzias are among the Towering
shrubs which are enjoying increased
popularity. Most nurserymen can
bring forth some handsome speci-
mems and those who do not have
them in stock can obtain them for
gardeners who are interested.

Black Coverings
Produce Early
Fall Blooms

ChrySanthemumS, asters and ever
so many fall-blooming plants form
their flower buds only when the DAYS
are shorter than they are now. The
tale is circulated in fower-growing
circles that 1t takes cool nights to
form quantities of these buds. We
know that the cool nights are merely
incidental and the amount of dark
ness offered the plants does the
trick.
Taking tip from the commercial
growers, many amateurs now use
black cloth coverings from 6 at
night till after in the morning
to produce earliest bloom. These
coverings can be made to suit in
dlVldual needs. Extensive planting
may require pole ARRANGEMENTS
similar to those used by growers of
shade-grown tobacco, but backlot-
ters ind a simple arrangement of
TOUR sticks, driven into the ground
and held together with wire at the
top, sufficient support for the black
cloth used for their coverings.

which also may be provided with
ties for convenient fixing and

English Bulb
Growers to
Sell Here
Shipments Planned
To United States
For Fall Planting

A recent news dispatch from Eng
land states that the English bulb
growers have organized an exporters
association to market English-grown
bulbs in the United States. Ameri-
can gardeners, no doubt, will regret
the necessity for this action, but, on
the other hand, will welcome the
news that tulip and hyacinth bulbs
will be available this fall in fairly
large numbers.
A great many gardeners have been
speculatIng for some time as to the
possibility of getting Dutch" bulbs
this fall. Most of them doubted the
possibility even though some of the
more optimistic dealers have insisted
that some way would be found to
get them into this country. All eyes
were turned toward Holland as the
possible source, completely overlook
ing England as producer. England
is not a large producer of bulbs, al
though the reports state that there
are some 5000 acres available for
marketing.
Just what proportion of the 5000
acres is devoted to tulips, to hya-
clnths, to daffodilS and to the mis-
ceuaneous bulbs is not given. We
are primarily interested in the first
Two items since great many daffo-
Oil bulbs are grown in this country.
Only a few tulips and scarcely any
hyaclnths are produced domestically.
While few of us think of England
as a commercial producing
country, she does have a number of
commercial areas. 1t is well known
that bulbs thrive in England and
That English people have long grown
DUBIOUS flowers. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, to find that a number of
the Holland bulb-growing firms
nave farms in England or that many
Dutch bulb growers are working
In the bulb-growing areas of Eng
land. One area in Norfolk is known
as Little Holland"
The larger English growers are
sponsoring the exporters associa-
ton, and doubtless the smaller
growers will cooperate fully. It is
reported that the British govern
ment will issue an order prohibiting
the sale of bulbs in England until
the export market has taken all that
1t will. This is, in effect, an order
TO market as many of the salable
bulbs abroad as is possible.
There is no reason to believe that
the English-grown bulbs are in any
way inferior to the HoIland-groWn
bulbs. They are grown in a climate
rather similar to that of Holland.
There are no federal quarantines in
effect against British-grown bulbs.
which would indicate them to be
free from dangerous diseases and
insect pests.
1t is rather pleasing to see the
English gardeners coming to the
aid of their country by marketing
their bulbs in the United States
where credits are badly needed.
This exchange of Towering bulbs for
war materials speaks highly for a
people whose love for their gardens
is traditional.

Poisoning Best Way
To Rid Garden of
Ant Colonies

The picnic period makes us think
about ants, which we find in our
gardens as well as in the locations
where our outings are enjoyed.
Some of us find ants troublesome
in our home larders as we'll and
consequently should make every ef-
fort to rid our gardens and proper
ties of these nuisances.
Killing single ants by crushing
under the foot or by scalding with
boiling water offers little relief.
There is only one sure way to eradi-
cate ant colonies and that is by
poisoning the queen. The method
is to place sweet poison sirup to
attract the workers. They will con-
sumo it and carry it to their queen
and nursing ants under the soil
where all are killed.
Sugar-eating ants can be con-
trolled with poison made by dis
solving one pound of brown sugar
in a minimum amount of water,
which is then poisoned with an
ounce of paris green. Set this around
in small trays in the garden where
ants travel. Grease eaters can be
poisoned by feeding them bits of
bacon which have been rubbed with
tartar emetic. Both these products
are poisonous to human beings and
should be handled with extreme
care. Seedsmen sell manufactured
sirups which accomplish the same
result without the attendant danger
from home mixing.
Ants sometimes become quite
bothersome among the shrubs where
they feed on the roots and are the
causes for many cases of root rot.
Many successes are reported when
hole is punched in the ground
alongside the shrubs and then filled
with a solution made from one ounce
of pyrethrum or rotenone in one
gallon of water, then tightly closing
the top of the hole. The difficulty
with this method is that the solutions
used may kill much of the existing
root system.

subsoil. These are important items.
They determine how deeply the
grass roots can go and how much
moisture-holding capacity the soil
has. If there is plenty of humus in
the soil the lawn grasses can bet
ter withstand summer droughts and
longer remain green. A vigorously
growing bluegrass turf is just about
the best insurance you can have
against crab grass and other weeds.
If you ever intend to use manure
on your lawn, now is the best time
to do it. Be sure it is deeply spaded
under, so that the weed seeds will
not bother you. Compost, we'll
rotted manure, straw or any form
of humus well mixed into the subsoil
is desirable. Lime may be added if
the soil is quite acid. AS soon as
the soil has been turned and leveled
off it should be allowed to stand for
several weeks to permit thorough
settling. Then spread peat moss or
finely pulverized humus over the
surface to prevent "crusting." The
lawn is now ready for the seed.
The digging of daylilies CHemero-
callis) and of japanese iris is largely
a matter of enriching the soil and
putting sufficient humus within
reach of the roots. This will in
sure vigorous growth and freedom
of bloom. One need not divide the
daylilies unless additional clumps
are desired. The Japanese iris,
however, need division if they are
to remain healthy and vigorous. A
good rule is to quarter each clump
every four years. This year, there
have been frequent reports of rot,
so carefully examine each clump
before replanting. They may need
treatment with bichloride of mer-
curry or bordeaux to prevent loss.
The iris borer works in japanese
