Lloyd George Speaks
David Lloyd George, once more
the Welsh Lion of old, roared sup
port for a hard-hitting demand of
the labor opposition for the over
throw of Prime Minister Chamber
lain and his cabinet because of Bri-
tain's military failure in Norway.
The white faced, II year : old
prime minister called from the
floor of the house for the full sup
port of my friends and welcom-
ing the opposition challenge, as
commons moved toward the vote in
a tempest of words - including
Lloyd Georges cries of "shame!"
and 'half-baked!"
Lloyd George brought his un-
equalled prestige in parliament and
nation to bear upon Chamberlain
by declaring the greatest contri-
button Chamberlain could make to
the war effort of Great Britain
would be to sacrifice his seals of
office"
Warming that the nation stands in
greater jeopardy" than in the last
war, the white-maned premier OF

The prime minister Chamber

Hltler-in peace and in war. He
has always been worsted!
Everything that has been done
has been half-hearted, ineffective,
without drive and unintelligent."
Then, his voice quivering with
anger at the thought that Britain
had failed to help Norway with any
result, the old Welshman declared:
"Britain's promissory notes are
now rubbish in the markell"

from winter sunburn unless grown
in shade The flowers and fruits are
attractive.
In addition to these more highly
lands we have a number of useful
attractive species that are native
to this area A walk In the woods
in nearby Maryland will disclose
a number of them to you. Some gar
deners have been fortunate to have
them on land from which they might
be brought into the garden proper.
Many are listed in catalogues spe-
cialiZing in shrubbery.
v. alnifolium. commonly called
hobblebuSh, or American Wavfaring
tree, grows vigorously to 10 feet or
more. 1t prefers a moist place in
partial shade. The large fiat clus-
tiers of white flowers appear in May.
It's bright red fruit turns black as
it ripens In September.
v. cassinoides (Withe-rod) is con-
sidered one of the handsomest Of
our native shrubs. 1t is known also
as Appalachian tea or wild raisin
bush. 1t grows from to y feet
high. When cultivated it grows less
tall but more compactly. The flow
ers, which are creamy white, are
followed by dropping clusters of
green berries that change to pink
and then to black. The leaves turn
purple and then orange-red in the
fall.
v. dentatum does we'll in moist
shady places, especially under trees
The birds are fond of It's fruits,
which ripen in August and Septem-
Der Arrowwood is the common
name Of this species.
V. prunifolium and v. trilobum are
especially we'll known here in the
East. The latter is our native form
of European v. opulus. The leaves
turn a brilliant red in the fall and
the large clusters of white flowers
become beautiful scarlet berries
which remain until spring. The for
mer, " prunifolium gives color to
Eastern hillsides in the fall with its
blue black fruit which probably gave
it the name of black-haw.
The viburnums as family are
relatively free from disease and in
sect pests. Aphids or plant lice as
they are usually called attack some
species, particularly the common
SNOWFALL, causing the leaves to curl.
This pest, however, is readily con-
trolled with nicotine sulphate, to-
bacco dust, and with rotenone dust.
The culture of this family is as
simple as that of spireas. Pruning,
except to remove dead or straggly
branches, is seldom practlced. Fer
tilization is unnecessary except for
plants lacking in color and vigor.

Better Lawn
With Less
Effort
By DR.. HOWARD B. sPRAGUE.

BY DR.. HOWARD B. SPRAGUE.
Better lawns with less effort will
be the outcome Of the replacement
of inferior grasses with improved
strains. Although the breeding Of
better grasses for turf Is still in
the early stages of development,
there is evidence that great ad-
vances are possible in the near
future. At the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at
Rutgers University, large collec-
ton Of promising new grasses are
receiving careful tests to determine
their value for producing strong
sod under local conditions of soil
and climate.
One of the improved strains
developed at the station has al
ready been put to good use. This
is the grass known as Raritan velvet
bent, which makes durable turf of
finer quality than any other grass
now available. 1t Is tolerant OF
poor soils and drought, grows both
in the open and under trees, and
thrives with both close and lawn
length moving. Seed is being pro-
duced under State certiication, and
is now sold by many seedsmen.
Other grasses that are being i'm
proved for lawn use are creeping
red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass
Colonial bent grass. and creeping
bent. Attention is also being given
to Japanese lawn grass, and to
crested wheat grass and beach grass
| for very sandy soils. These grass
breeding plots may be seen at the
experiment station and will be one
of the features on display at the
annual Turf Field Day to be held
at the institution on october Z.

Tree PeOnies

Well Drained and
Not Too Acid
Nv A. r.. MCLEAN.

Although difficult to propagate
and slow to grow. tree peonies are
among the choicest Of spring flow-
ering shrubs and unsurpassed for
striking beauty when in bloom. The
plants have been in cultivation for
many centuries and are associated
most frequently with their native
land of China and with gardens Of
Japan.
American nurSerymen are onerlng
these plants, both in small and large
sizes. The small plants, however,
should bloom when quite young, II
given good care, and make places
for themselves among the garden
treasures. Fall planting Is recon-
mended.
The flowers Of tree peonies re-
semble regular large peonies and
they bloom somewhat earlier. The
flowers of the great number Of lovely
varieties vary in color from pink,
red, purple to white. A well-grown
plant-really bush. rather than a
tree-usually grows from 3 to feet
in height, although older specimens
sometimes reach S or feet. One
particularly attractive bloom is that
Of the hybrid, P. lutea. This hy-
brid produces snowy single flowers
Of golden yellow color.
Tree peonies require a fertile soil
which is we'll drained and not too
acid ond cood oppo,Ipt of SUNLIGHT
Mulching the plants in order to keep
moisture conditions more uniform
is beneficial practice. Were 1t not
for the fact that the plants were
difficult to propagate there would
undoubtedly be many more OF these
lovely shrubs in American gardens.
All nurserymen can obtain them,
however, so their availability Is no
problem.

Plant Food and
Pruning.
The amount Of plant food to use
depends upon the size Of the tree.
Use l pound of complete balanced
plant food for a hole approximately
feet in diameter. Vary the amount
proportionately for smaller and
larger trees, depending upon the
size of hole required to accommo-
date them. Provide about inches
of loose soil in the bottom of the
hole, and mix one-half the plant
food with this soil. Next cut on
all bruised or broken roots smoothly
to sound wood, just above the place
of injury, and shorten any roots
that are extra long using sharp
knife or sharp pruning shears. Now
set the tree in the hole, at such a
depth that when the hole is filled.
the tree will be planted an inch or
so deeper than it stood in the nurs-
cry, as indicated by the soil line.
| Spread the roots out naturally, and
fill half the hole with soil to which
no plant food has been added, work
| ing the soil down among the roots
with the fingers. Then shake the
tree up and down to settle the dirt
about the roots. Tread the soil
firmly when the hole is half full.
Now apply the balance Of the plant
food to the remaining soil, and con-
tinue filling the hole with this mix.
ture. Be sure that the plant food
is mixed thoroughly with the soil
as recommended. and see that no
plant food is contained in the soil
that Immediately surrounds the
roots. Pack the soil firmly about
the tree-the lighter the soil, the
harder the lamp. Now water
thoroughly, in order to saturate the
roots and settle the soil. When the
water has completely soaked into
the soil, fill the hole with loose soil
TO the surface level This loose
soil acts as . mulch to retain the

1t is very important That ~ root
system and amount Of branches
balance. No matter how carefully
the trees may be dug, q portion Of
the roots are broken or cut OF as
described above for planting. and
to restore the proper balance be-
tween the root system and the top
growth the branches must be pruned
also. Many people are not aware
OF this and will plant exactly as
received from the nursery. This Is
a serious error.
