Kerria Japonica Is
DELIGHTFUL Shrub

Kerria japonica, q lovely yellow
Towering shrub long tn cultivation,
is now in bloom. Reaching medium
height-from 4 to feet-Kerria
japonica, formerly known as Cor
chorus, fits into many home land
scape schemes and should meet
with renewed popularity now that
Towering shrubs are regaining favor.
The double flowers of Kerria
japonica appear at the ends of the
plants branches. Soil requirements
of this shrub are about the same
as for nlacs, and the plants will
grow in partial shade, Towering
abundantlv If not pruned too
heavily.
Although the common form Of
Kerria is double, the single, wild
form is worth growing II 1t is avail
able. This not only blooms in
spring but also produces a few flow-
ers all summer if the old wood is
cut away. The more popular dou-
bic form has fully double flowers
Of deep golden yellow. nearly 2
inches across, and these last longer
in bloom than the more delicate
single type.
Old-fashioned shrubs, such as
kerrias, lilacs, syringas and deutzias,
require but simple care, factor
which makes them worthy Of con-
sideration by gardeners who do not
have much time to devote to their
plants.

Destroying
Algae Not
Difficult
Care Must Be Used
To Avoid Harmins
Fish in Pools
BY EDITH HOUGH.

Algae growing on the floor Of pools
and ponds is an annoyance through
out the summer. Composed Of
Shiny, dark green groups of minute
plants, it floats to the surface where
it collects dust. leaves and sticks,
giving the pool an unsightly ap.
pearance. AS it thrives in the sun
and heat, 1t has to be continually
removed. Either of two chemicals.
copper sulphate. known also as blue
stone and blue vitriol. or potassium
permanganate. mixed in small
quantities with the water, will de-
stroy it.
The standard commercial grade
OF copper sulphate should be used.
as the finely pulverized dissolves
too quickly to be effective. A small
amount, such as one -eighth of
an ounce to 1000 gallons of
water, is sufficient. 1t may be placed
IN tiny cheesecloth bag. tied to a
stick, and dragged around the pool
several times. If the lily leaves
are already formed, however. the
bag should be dipped into the water
at intervals of a few feet, rather
than drawn through it, to avoid
rippling the water, as the lily leaves
will be burnt if the copper Is allowed
to 60 over them.
Such small quantities will not kill
the fish, but it is well to remove tha
baby fish for a period of "a hours.
A greater amount of the copper.
sufflcient'to destroy the harder types
OF algae, as spirogyra and hydro
dictyon, will kill the fish. They can
stand a little for a short time, but
the smaller ones may succumb to it
and, If 1t is permanently present,
none can survive.
Though copper sulphate Is
cheaper and stronger chemical. DO.
tassium permanganate is perhaps
more safely used In small pools
where there are fish. One tea.
spoonful Is dissolved in = quart Of
water. After this is shaken, tho
unabsorbed particles sink to tho
bottom and the rest, q claret-col.
ored solution. is used. one teaspoon
ful to a gallon of water.

half high with yellow-green leaves
and small white flowers. Basil, too,
adds beauty to the garden. There
are nearly so species of Ocimum
grown in the warmer countries near
the Mediterranean, but most OF
them are too tender for this area.
o. basilicum, o. basilicum purpurea,
o. minimum and o. minimum pur-
purea are especially recommended
for this locality.
Tarragon (Artemisia dracuncu-
lus) is one of the many artemisias
OF which number may be used ef-
fectively in landscape work. A.
albula is the one commonly known
as Silver King. The southernwood,
wormWoods and nugworts found in
old gardens are artemisias, too. AS
family they prefer poor sandy soil.
They like a sunny dry spot in the
gardens. OF course, different treat
ment should be accorded different
varieties. Tarragon, for instance,
should be divided early in the spring.
The last on our list is dill (Ane.
thum graveolens). Every one is ia
miliar with dill. 1t is an attractive
biennial with yellow flowers and
lovely soft foliage. 1t is best to SOW
the seed where the plants are to
grow.
Now, We realize full well, that We
have only touched on the tremen-
dously interesting subject of herb
culture when we write only of these
culinary herbs! So add some la
vender and rosemary for sheer beau-
ty and then as space and time per.
nit include more and more kinds
until you, too, have a fragrant.

dition, the old odor has been taken
out of some of them-not that so
many thought it Objectionable. To-
day we are offered carnation-
flowered, double African, and chry-
santhemum- -fowered marigolds-all
developments of the tall African
type. New varitieS of the French
marigolds bring new colors to that
group, which include both the single
and double f1owered types.
The double forms of nasturtiums
are available in several colors in
both the runner type and In the
dwarf or bush type. In addition to
the doubling, the fragrance has been
altered and they are now called
sweet-scented. One might wonder If
they were still nasturtiums.
The old-fashioned Glove pinks
(Dianthus plumarius) are still in
the seedsman's catalogue, but he
is also offering new and improved
strains that contain new colors and
color combinations as well as larger
flowers. The Japanese pinks ID.
HeddewigD are so-called superior
plant. They are available in both
the single and double forms. OF
the hard pinks, the Atwood strain
is considered the best.
Zinnias, much the same as the
marigolds, have undergone many
improvements. The double Cali
fornia Giants are still being featured
by some seedsmen, but others boost
the Dahlia- -fowered and the Fantasy
strains. Emphasis is put on changes
In petal form and formation. The
California Giants are rather fiat,
while the Dahlia -flowered have a
higher crown. The Fantasy type
have twisted petals OF very informal
arrangement that are attractive.
These are the newest. A few years
ago we had the Scabiosa -flowered
and the Gaillardia- -fowered strains
One merchant is offering a Picotee
zinnia. The tips Of the petals are
of a different shade than the rest
of the flower. s..x
Other flowers likewise have been
changed in one way or another
Each kind has its so-called best
strain. Some, like the purple cone
flower CRudbeckia) and the gail
lardia. represent selections for color
and, having obtained a new or bet
ter shade, they are given varietal
names. The seed is offered for
sale and in most cases a goodly
percentage of the plants are true
to description. Other kinds Of plants
must be vegetatively propagated (by
divisions, grating or roofing cut
tings) to retain the new form or
color. This is true Of the double
painted daisies and the double
Baby's Breath-Bristol Fairy Where
the latter methods must necessarily
be employed, the new forms are
more costly than if seed were avail
able. However, the gardener is more
certain of his product when he buys
the plant.

Lawn Grasses Now
Need Stimulation
In Some Form

Lawn grasses now need stimula-
ton. Several plans are in common
use. The first and easiest depends on
the use of nitrate of soda. but not
in crystalline form at this time. Dis
solve one ounce of this material in
two gallons of water and apply this
amount to every 100 square feet of
thoroughly hose-soaked lawn. The
sprinkling can is good tool Then
water lightly to wash the salt from
the grass.
Potassium nitrate is often substi-
tuted for sodium nitrate. While
slightly higher in cost, it contains
both nitrogen and potash, the latter
producing a better root growth.
Potassium nitrate should be used in
the same manner as its sodium
counterpart.
Where rotted manure Is available
at low cost 1t is common practice to
use 1t as q lawn stimulant. The
practice is harmful. wasteful and
should be discontinued. While
newly seeded lawn may be stimulated
and benefited by such a practice,
the weed growths which are abun-
dainty present in all manure, harm
an established lawn.
Uneven lawns frequently benefit
from top dressing with screened
composted soil. BY this means,
places where the soil has washed
from grass roots are filled and
grasses are encouraged into growth.
Poor soil. enriched by the addition
of one-half pound of fertilizer to
each bushel Of soil, may be scattered
instead of mellow rich soil. Even
then, there is heavy growth of chick
weed as a result of the top dressing.
Keeping the lawn well cut prevents
the chickweed from seeding and the
pest Is likely to desist before fall.

they cannot cut the tender plants.
Choose a large stove pipe the

Now that the large -howered
