CankerWOrn1
Should Be
Peach Borer Also
Needs Attention
At This Season

Several forms of worms crawl up
the trunks of shade trees to spend
the winter, ready to make nuisances
of themselves in the spring. Can
kerworms are good examples. The
egg laying females, which cannot fly
at this time, will crawl up the trees
unless something cbstructs the way.
A paste is sold at the shops for
this purpose. 1t is applied to the
tree with a paddle Less messy
and comparably effective are bands
of sticky fypaper, which need only
tying to the trunk. One applica-
ton will be sufficient in the Far
North while another application of
paste in November or a new sticky
paper may be needed farther South.
Also at this season we see the
peach borers getting their work well
under way. In late September the
moths lay their eggs in the bark of
peach trees, just above the ground.
One treatment against them stands
out as beSt-and at the same time
the easiest. 1t is the use of para
dichlorobenzene in a soil ring.
For a large tree scatter one-half
ounce of paradichlorobenzene-ob-
tainable at druggists-in a ring
about 2 inches from the tree trunk
Larger trees require more chemical.
Cover the ring of chemicals with a
cone of soil reaching up 6 inches
on the trunk and firm we'll. The
fumes f1ltering through the soil
reach the holes in the bark where
the eggs were deposited and kill
the larvae.

Many Wild Species OF
ChrysanthemumS
Worth Growing

The chrysanthemum season is ap-
preaching and gardeners who failed
to plant them last spring are prob
ably wishing they had more FORE
thought. 1t is not too late, how
ever. Although chrysanthemum
roots should be planted in spring,
some dealers have plants in pots
which may be set into the garden
now to produce blooms this fall.
In addition to the standard culti-
waited forms Of these lovely flowers,
there are also many wild species
well worth growing. One is chrys-
anthemum morifolium, which grows
wild in China. Flowers of this vari-
ETY. are yellow and small, although
quite lovely. Then there is. the
Arctic daisy, chrysanthemum arc
ticum, and the Korean chrysanthe-
mum, also known as Korean daisy
There is also an aster-like hybrid
called northland daisy. Plants OF
this require very little transplanting
and care Their flowers are white
pink, yellow or red.
These chrysanthemums are hardy
and we'll worth growing, either In
groups by themselves or in paintings
of other garden chrysanthemums
Their principal requirements are a
well drained soil which is not too
acid and dividing and transplanting
when they become too thick. If your
chrysanthemum planting is not al
ready established, try some Of these
unusual plants this year.

Rabbits Nav

Wire Baskets or

Rabbits, the wild ones, play havoc
with flower gardens, fruit and
evergreen trees. They lacerate fruit

BILE at the bark of evergreens and
extend their ravages so far as to

those of our choicest Oriental pop
pies. We should do something about
the matter
In localities where rabbits are
known to be pests it is just as well
to acknowledge the fact and take
protective measures. Valuable bulbs
should be protected by planting
them inside wire baskets. Those
used to prevent biting horses from
annoying passersby are ideal. If
their price proves prohibitive, some
makeshifts can be formed from
low-priced poultry wire. The cost
of these homemade devices need
not exceed a few cents each, which
makes the cost trifling when pro-
rated over their average f1ve-year
life.
The same low-coSt poultry wire
can be used to keep rabbits away
from trees. Twelve-inch high wire

UNSAFE, as tnlS practlce lnQuceS a.
new growth of wood that does not
become hardened enough, usually, to
withstand severe winter weather.
In such cases the tips of the
branches and often the entire
growth which followed the late
pruning will be dead or greatly
weakened the next spring. Early or
mid-August is about as late as 1t is
safe to give the hedge the last clip
ping.
Deciduous clipped hedges should
have their severe corrective prun-
ing early in the spring while plants
are dormant. 1t is usually a good
plan in doing this dormant prun-
ing to cut back the hedge to a little
less than the desired height so that
it will not grow too rank and get
out of bounds. This early pruning
will throw the new shoots from dor
mant buds back on heavier stems
and make the hedge more dense.
This one dormant pruning should be
the only severe pruning needed dur
ing the year. All that is necessary
the balance of the season IS a little
leveling off. Privet must be clip

ped about three or four times a sea-

Following this dormant pruning. a
clipping should be made soon after
the first heavy flush Of vegetative
growth has taken place Shoots are
then soft and cut easily and new
shoots will develop from lateral
buds on the shoots OF the current
season.
A third pruning may be given
in July.
A weak, straggly deciduous hedge

If it is cut back to within a few
inches of the ground and fed reg

One can then train the new growth
properly.
Evergreens, of course. cannot be
severely pruned as can deciduous
hedges, and it is necessary to pinch
back young plants all during the
growing season to produce the bushy

of Ivy
Is Simple
Matter
Keep Soil Moist
And as Friable
AS Possible

House plant time again. and the
thrill of indoor gardening has us all
in its grip.
The English ivies constitute one
of the most popular groups of house
plants, being especially desirable in
locations where there is not suffi-
cient light for many plants. Ivy will
do very well without direct sun, but
good light is desirable. Like most
house plants, it will do best in
moderate temperature.
The soil should be friable and con-
tain sufficient peat moss or leaf mold
so that it has good moisture holding
capacity. 1t should be of such tex
ture that the drainage will be good
In mixing the potting soil be sure to
incorporate plant food. Use one
level teaspoonful of plant food to
each quart of potting soil, mixing
thoroughly with the soil.
For later feelings, apply one level
teaspoonful of plant food to a plant
in to 10 inch pot. For smaller pots
use slightly less. Scratch the plant
food lightly into the soil. If you pre-
fer liquid application. add l level
teaspoonful of plant food to l quart
of water, stir well and apply to the
soil around the plant. Keep the solu-
ton off the foliage and stems.
Well-rooted ivy will often grow
well in water only, and it is very
attractive grown in this manner in
wall receptacles or hanging recep-
tacles in wide windows. The new
plant food tablets are very con-
manner. Simply drop tablet in the
receptacle and your feeding problem
is solved
The soil should be kept moist for
ivy. The plants will also do better
if the leaves are given a fine, misty
spray of water weekly.
One of the few pests that bother
English ivy is the small brown scale
which appears on the leaves and
stems. Sponging with a soapy solu-
ton and rinsing with clear water
will control this trouble.
Many gardeners have made a
hobby of collecting ivies, of which
there are many varieties, some var
iegated and many with odd-shaped
leaves.
One of the best for house plant
culture is Hahn's ivy, a new, much
branching. small-leaved type Of
great distinction, especially adapted
to pot culture. Practically all florists
now carry this type.

Feed Bulbs
For Better
Bloom
Easily Managed at
Planting Time by
Enriching Soil

Are you planting tulips or other
hardy bulbs this fall? Get good
bulbs, look we'll to drainage and feed
them with a completely balanced
plant food.
Feeding is a very important phase
of bulb gardening. The popular
conception of bulbs is that all the
food necessary for the plant is
stored in the bulb. This is not
true, however, for if the bulb is not
well nourished the flowers during
the following year will suffer. There
is little opportunity to feed or culti-
vate bulbs in spring. Incorporate
a completely balanced plant food in
the soil when you are planting the
bulbs.
Method OF feeding bulbs planted
in rows-Dig the trench at least 2
inches deeper than is needed to take
care of the depth at which bulbs
should be planted. Leave IL inches
of loose soil in the bottom of the
trench and apply a completely bal
anced plant food at the rate Of l
pound equivalent to l pin0 per
20 feet of trench. Mix the plant
food thoroughly with the loose soil
in the bottom of the trench. After
mixing the plant food and soil
thoroughly, cover with another half
inch of sand or soil, after which the
bulbs should be planted.
Method of feeding bulbs planted
in individual holes-Dig holes 2
inches deeper than needed for cor
rect planting depth of bulbs, mix
teaspoonful of completely balanced
plant food thoroughly with the loose
soil in the bottom of the hole and
cover this with i inch of sand or
soil Then plant the bulb.
Method of feeding bulbs planted
promiscuously in beds-Prepare the
bed carefully and broadcast plant
food over the entire surface of the
bed at the rate of 4 pounds per 100
square feet (thiS is equivalent to
about one rounded tablespoonful per
square fooD. The plant food should
then be worked thoroughly into the
soil to a depth of at least 5 or 6
inches for planting bulbs such as
tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, and
3 to 4 inches for planting the smaller
bulbs such as grape hyacinths, cro-
Gus, scilla, etc.
