rock pile" type. Nelther OF IneSe
types is ever completely satisfying,
whether to the plants or to the be-
holder.
The peanut brittle" kind of rock
garden is often seen in front OF a
small property on a slope between
the dooryard lawn and the sidewalk
or road. Roundish stones are set
into the slope. Sometimes they are
in oddly arranged rows. Various
plants are placed between them.
The effect is spotty, illogical, mo-
notonous. In nature such an out
cropping of rock would never occur.
The natural prototype of the rock
garden is always stratified rock, not
the boulder or cobble stone.
The "rock pile" kind of rock gar
den is usually merely badly con-
Structed collection of miscellaneous
stones of any number of shapes and
geological formations, huddled to-
gether in corner. Plants are fast
ened into it wherever there is a
root hold for them.
II the property consists Of level
ground with no natural rock in
sight, the location of the rock gar
den must take into account both
the background, which may be
trees, shrubbery or an appropriate
wall corner, and the approach, which
will almost certainly include a
seemingly casual planting among
informally inviting stepping stones
Perhaps pool is possible or there
may be stream al hand. Whether
this rock garden is to be built up
or Is TO have low elevation will
depend on the surroundings. Any
rock garden must be related to the
rest of the property, including the
house itself; it should be tiled up
II the gardener is so fortunate as
to be settled in a natural rocky
site with picturesque outcroppings
the rock garden is no problem al
all, beyond that of plant selection
In any event, the best way to plar
a rock garden is to begin by OBJ
serving natural formations some
where near home and visualizing ar
adaptation. 1t will be observed. fol

though the coloring may vary har-

not slide or topple.
Equally important is to choose
plants that will be at home and
thrive in the location and exposure
offered them.

age having been added.
Narrowing the sphere still fur
ther to pot gardening, basil is the
first plant that comes to mind, for
in Elizabethan times it was a rec
ognlzed custom to present little
pots of this seasoning herb as gifts.
BasiPs leading function is to bring
out the flavor of tomatoes. The
tiniest pinch added to soup, salad
or sandwiches does wonders for the
tomato. And marigold, that fiaunt-
ing yellow flower, is an equally
famous pot herb, having been origi-
nally priced for the tangy flavor it
impaired to soups. So any one
wanting to experiment with pots
need not lack material.
When summer wanes any herb
material may be removed from gar
den or window box and dried and
powdered for use throughout the
winter.
To dry parsley, for instance, wash
and drain it well and spread it out
on trays. Place these in a cool
oven to dry, and then rub the
parsley through a sieve. 1t should
be stored in bottles or jars that are
tightly corked and kept preferably
in dark cupboard.
Onions keep best in a dry, we'll
ventilated place. To say that the
United States does know its on
ions" is hardly an exaggeration, for
they are grown in practically every
State in the Union. Texas has made
a speciality Of the Bermuda variety,
and California and the Western
States have stressed the sweeter
Spanish type.
According to the Department of
Agriculture, "the onion is one of
the important market-garden and
truck crops in the United States
and is very generally grown in home
gardens. 1t thrives best on alluvial
and drained muck soils under a
temperate climate, but may be
grown under a very wide range of
soil and climatic conditions"
AND WnaC ABOUT the origin OF this
humble but important bulb-which
belongs, by the way, to the same
family as asparagus, smilax and the
lily?
1t Is thought to be native Of
Egypt, where it formed an important
article Of diet as far back as the
era Of pyramid building. Moses
has left 1t on record that when the
children of Israel were dwelling in
the wilderness onions were one Of
the foods for which they longed.
Onions were brought to America
by the early colonists and were .

over winter on the corms. This
characteristic makes control rela-
lively easy. BY treating the corms
during the storage season with
naphthalene flakes, an inexpensive
material, the thrips are destroyed
with little effort or expense. l usually
strip the husks from the corms as
soon as they are cured and place
them in a paper sack to which Is
added an ounce of naphthalene
flakes. The top of the bag is tied to
retain the gases. The bags OF corms
and naphthalene are left in the
basement, which Is relatively warm,
for two or three months. The flakes
are then removed and the bulbs
stored in a cool place until planting
time.
If the flakes are left on the corms
until spring the gas will lnJure
the sprouts, hence the napthalene
flake treatment. If used TO control
the thrips, should be given in the
fall or early winter.
For spring treatment one may
soak the corms in a solution OF
mercuric chloride. Calomel, cor
rosive sublimate or any one OF the
mercurial compounds sold for this
purpose under a trade name may
be used, and while these solutions
are a bit difficult to handle, they
have the added advantage of con-
trolling-in addition to the thrlpS-
scab and rot. These diseases, which
are widely disseminated, are as
easily controlled es the thrips by
treating the dormant corms.
The gladiolus thrips may be con-
trolled during the growing season
by spraying the growing plants
with a solution of tartar emetic,
brown sugar and water. This con-
troll is comparatively new and seems
to be fully as effective as the old
Paris green, brown sugar and water
formula and does not stunt the
growth OF the corms. Four and q
half teaspoonfuls Of tartar emetlc,
one and two-thirds cups OF brown
sugar and 8 gallons OF water is
recommended. Since gallons will
spray many times more glads than
the usual gardener grows, a third
or less OF this should be ample.
CUse care to keep this solution away
from children and pets. 1t Is deadly
poison. As soon as spraying is nm
ished wash out the sprayer ana

Feeding Tomatoes

Experiments have shown that to-
matoes require more phosphorus
than any other fertilizing element.
A phosphate fertilizer is, therefore,
the kind to use for this crop. Toma-
toes also need an abundance Of
water if they are to yield heavily.
1t Is not a bad plan to sink a to-
mato can into the ground at the
base Of each plant, holes having
first been made in the sides and in
the bottom. Water poured into these
cans at frequent intervals will be
carried directly to the rootx.

Sowing Misnonette

Mignonette is one of several plants
that dislike being moved, for which
reason the seed should be sown
where it is to flower. Moreover, the
blooming season is comparatively
short, so that two or three successive
sowings at short intervals must be
made to keep a supply of mignon-
cite coming along all summer. 1t
is heavy feeder and bone meal or
pulverized sheep manure should be
mixed into the soil around the
plants. Watering with liquid ma
nure is beneficial after the buds
show.

Buy New Seeds

Do not allow perennials to 60 to
seed unless you wish to have a spe-
cial seed. All the strength of the
plant will go into the seed pods
instead of into the roots for the
next year. Seeds saved from your
own plants will rarely run true to
type. 1t is better to buy new seeds
in the spring.

May we stand for the right, fall in faith
