Hint Grand Jury

II was known that the member
ship list had been compared with
recruiting lists of the army and
navy, but the results of this study
were not revealed. II was also
uncertain whether the military
notations referred to service in
the German army or an American
force, or both.
Meanwhile, the information that
a subpoena was out for Doctor VIII
lumeit gave rise TO reports that
a federal grand jury would launch
a probe into Bund activities. Of
ficials were silent on this posi-
bility.
The membership lie dger was
seized in a raid on the joint offices
of the Bund and the Teutonia Pub
fishing Company as a result of a
routine civil action in which Cook
County sought to recover arrears
of $3.50 in property taxes from the
company.
As soon as local officials saw
the possible Importance of the
membership list, particularly the
military rotations, they notified
federal agencies.
. Word was received from Wash
ington today that Atty. Gen. Rob-
ert II. Jackson had ordered immi-
grafton officials to check the men,
bership list to determine if any
of the members were recently
naturalized. If so. and in evidence
of fraud in obtaining citizenship
is unearthed. their citizens papers
will be revoked.

Heleniurn Difficult
Plant to Grow
From Seeds

Few summer Towering perennials
are in greater demand among gar
deners than helenium. They know
1t to be plant which has demon
strated its ability to grow and bloom
profusely despite conditions that
would have an adverse effect on
most other perennials. Nearly every
one attempts to grow it from seeds.
Growing helenium from seeds is
not easy, as most gardeners have
learned. Even the otherwise sue
cessful commercial grower finds that
he has difficulties in transplanting
helenium seedlings.
If you have experienced all the
dlftlculties which attend helenium
culture, it is recommended that you
again try it. This time divide one
OF your established plants. No need
to wait for cool weather, cloudy days
or any OF the other conditions which
are indicated for ordinary perennial
division. Just 60 into your garden,
dig up a root of helenium, tear it
into pieces and transplant each bit
TO moderately fertile soil containing
fair quantity of moisture. This
plan seems to work where all the
others have failed.
Among the interesting new sorts
OF helenium are moerheimi, with
oronzy petals, and Nahum luteum.
Both these grow to height of only
a few feet, which makes them more
desirable from a garden standpoint
than the former 5-feet sorts.

HOne>Saved
Seeds Are
ACare
More Successful
ToReplaceO Ones -,
Wanted Again
By EDWIN H. PERKINS,.

The thrift streak in most gar
deners makes itself apparent by saw
ing seeds. Little economies on self
saved seeds seems to be an inspira-
ton, but it is doubtful whether the
plan is a good one Home saved
seeds must be stored cool and free
from the attacks of bacteria which
may be carried in the packages with
them. But the difficulties in stor-
age are not the real problems.
The plants we do not wish to
carry over or perpetuate are gener-
ally near relatives of the wild spe-
cies which always come through
from seed. 1t is the high-priced
strains of choicest flowers that we
want and those that come from
home-saved seeds are always dis
appointing.
Annual larkspurs, for instance,
have been developed into beautiful
double forms. Homegrown seeds
saved from these sorts generally re-
suit in many plants, most of which
flower inferiorly. The double corn
flowers show the same trait, as do
most of the other double forms
which, as we all know, have been
developed through hybridizing.
Since seeds gre so inexpensive. the
time and labor involved in growing
them hardly justifies the economies
made

Watering Important
In Eradication of
Grab Grass Pest

Where crab grass is a lawn prob
lem the need for special care in
watering is indicated. Light sur
face watering stimulates crab grass
In southern sections of the country
crab grass is also stimulated by ex-
cessive ground moisture. The fact
that it grows differently in two Sec
tions of the country is an indication
that it is very adaptable. There is
one point, however, in which it falls
down. It refuses to grow in dense
shade.
Taking their cue from this pecu-
liar habit of crab grass, many gar
deners with otherwise fine lawns
permit the lawn grasses to grow
until a height of to inches is
attained. Under ideal summer con-
ditions, this period may run be-
tween four and six weeks. Such
a growth of good grasses entirely
shades the seeding crab grass heads
with the result that they desist.
Still another good plan for Kidding
a lawn of crab grass is withholding
water. Grab grass can be killed
as easily by drought as it can be
by shade. In a well-established
lawn the good deep-rooted grasses
will stand burning by intense sun
over their roots for longer period
than will the crab grass. When
watering is again undertaken, the
good grasses will redevelop.
Hand wedding is the last resort
for the control of crab grass and
other lawn invaders. It must be
looked on as back-breaking job
for which reason the other sug-
gestions have been made.

the double purple. Speciosum.
native of the Caucasus, is the finest
in every way of the genus. The
flowers are much larger, of better
shape, and the color, rosy-pink,
is much more delicate 1t is
robust, vigorous plant most easily
handled. There is also a white
variety. Bornmulleri produces fine,
very large cup-shaped long-tubed
rosy-lilac flowers and is early
Towering. Large Colchicum bulbs
produce many flowers over a con-
siderable period.
Autumn Flowering
Crocus Good.
The autumn-fowering crocus spe-
cies bloom during September, Oc-
tober and November, and in one
garden at least many bulbs of the
species Asturicus flowers in Octo-
ber, November and early spring.
There are about TO recognized spe-
cies OF the genus, tWo-thirds OF
which blossom in the spring, the
others from August onward through
the fall and winter, weather per-
mitting. A dozen or more autumn
Towering species are offered by
American dealers, or we're before
Hltler's war, for most of them are
grown in Holland. The crocus spe-
cies produce smaller. more fragile
and delicately colored flowers than
the spring g-fowering Dutch varie-
ties. They range in color from
white to dark blue, many having
delicate violet, lavender and rose
lilac flowers. The best known are
Asturicus, Byzantinus, Longif1orus,
Sativus, Speciosus Ga half dozen
varieties), and Zonatus. The spe-
cies Imperati and Tommasinianus,
classed as spring-howering, often
bloom during warm periods in
winter.
Crocus corms should be planted
3 inches deep and inches apart
in a warm, well-drained position,
preferably in light soil free from
decaying manure. AS the new
corms form on top or at the side OF
the old one they gradually push
toward the surface, hence should
be lifted and replanted every three
or four years. Mice are fond of
them and will sometimes clean cut
a planting in season, therefore it
is safer to plant the corms in wire
baskets.
The location of all autumn
Towering plants should be carefully
marked so that they will not be
injured or destroyed by digging
around them when there are no
leaves or flower stems to mark the
spots where they are planted.
Evening star., 1940-07-27
Filling Bare Spots
Improves Gardens
Appearance

Gardens with motheaten ap-
pearance, due to the fact that
Towering plants have died out here
and there, can be greatly improved
even during this hot weather bv
transferring to the barren spots
some Towering sorts which trans
plant easily. Among the easiest
transplanted is the cornfower aster.
Stokesia cyanea, as cornflower
aster is listed botanically, is one of
the easiest transplanted of summer
towering perennials. The deliuate
lavender or pure white flowers,
borne on 18-inch stems, bear a close
resemblance to the China asters.
They are not only beautiful on the
plant but fine as cut flowers, lasting
for long time.
Cornfower asters can be lifted
early in the morning, transplanted
to a new location and, if well wat
cred and shaded for a day or two
after transplanting, they continue
to bear flowers without interrupts
ton.
