Handle Tuberoses
With Care When
Digging Bulbs

After a season of excellent flower
ing the tuberoses will be ready
for indoor storage. Digging them
earlier has no advantages, but it
is now absolutely necessary that we
get them out of the ground before
even light frost strikes them. Frost
or even chilly nights, which may
have no effect whatever on the
average garden plant, plays havoc
with tuberose bulbs.
When digging them remember
that the bulbs are just as touchy
as the plant and flowers have been
delicate. You cannot drive a spade
into the ground, turn a lump of
soil and root the bulbs out of the
resultant mass. Tuberose bulbs must
be dug carefully, and there is nc
better plan than to remove the soil
carefully from over the top Of them
using a dull trowel. After that the
trowel can be worked around the
soil outside the bulb, which can
then be lifted with little difficulty.
Remove dirt clinging to the bulb
and any bulblets found. Dry the
bulbs for a few days. after which
they can be stored In q cool cellar
protected from mice and other pests

The Visual Garden Manual.

Edited By Elsa UppTGn in COL
ldborGtion lrith E. o. Orpet.
Lane Publishing Co., San
Francisco, CGlUJ
An unusual book and one that
will probably interest a great many
gardeners. 1t has practically no
text; that given is in the form
Of explanatory statements under the
pen and ink sketches. Each subject
is presented with six or more
sketches to show the principal steps
or features. The illustrations by
Fred Barker and Phyllis Gregg are
well done.
The book is divided into sections
such as Garden Techniques, An
nuals. Perennials. Bulbs, Shrubs and
Trees, etc. The treatment of each
section varies considerably. That on
Garden Techniuues is comparatively
lengthy which is as it should be in
asmuch as fundamental steps are
presented. We find soils, fertilizers,
watering, weeds, and many other
phases of garden work adequately
portrayed.
If you prefer to look at illustra-
tions rather than to read lengthy
text this is the book for you.

Plant Food
Essential
TOLaWn
Wear-Resistant
Turf Obtained
By Feeding
By the Master Gardener

Less Weed termination ...
More Uniform Moisture -.
Cool, Excellent Grass Growing
Weather -.
Here you have the three basic rea-
sons why lawn authorities agree
that fall is the best time to put in
new lawns and repair established
lawns. These are the reasons so
many people have better success
with lawns when they make them
in the fall.
We urge you to get busy with
fall lawn making and repairing
now. because of the favorable
conditions for the growth Of grass
in the fall, and fall lawn making in
some sections can continue right on
into October. The young grass
can still have the advantage of the
six weeks growing weather which it
requires to become properly estab-
lished before winter sets in. You
can seed fall lawns as late as mid
September and have excellent re-
suits.
Take this precaution, however, in
making a new lawn in fan. Be sure
that the grass will find a ready
supply of available plant food as
soon as 1t terminates. The season
is short and you want your grass
plants to make substantial root and
top growth before winter sets in. A
good supply of complete plant food
applied before seeding new lawns
and over the established lawn be-
fore reseeding bare spots will assure
beautiful, sturdy growth.
Not long ago I was a spectator in
an enormous stadium in one of our
large Midwestern cities you
know the picture . rows on rows
of seats towering above the carpet
of smooth, green turf in the center
Directly behind me sat two ladies
in earnest discussion and one could
not help hearing this remark:
Look at that beautiful turf! We
have difficult time growing good
lawn around our home, where the
grass is not subjected to a fraction
of the wear and tear that this field
receives. How do they do it?"
longed to tell the speaker that
caretakers of turf that receives
rough usage make it their business
to study the maintenance of lawns,
and one thing that they have found
of paramount Importance and es-
sential to thick, wear-resistant turf
is plant food. Grass must be fed
regularly to make a healthy growth
and to keep that rich green healthy
color all during the growing sea-
son. Not only that-those reSpon-
sible for turf in stadiums know that
full feeding is most beneficial to
grass. To help your lawn with
stand the winter weather which is
approaching, make sure it has a
strong root system. A feeding of
complete, balanced plant food at
this time will supply the nourish-
ment necessary to encourage thick
growth of grass and a strong root
system, the best possible assurance
against winter injury.

This Is not the time to give up
on crabgrass II left alone now the
crop of seed that will form will
make control still more difficult
next season. Try some of the
commercial products if moving and
raking seem to difficult. Sodium
chlorate may be used although 1t
is ticklish stuff to handle.
Fertilize, cultivate and diSbud
chrysanthemums and dahlias for
best results. They need to be kept
staked. Tie with soft cord to stout
stakes. If the chrysanthemums are
planted in rows string may be
stretched and fastened to stakes
on both sides of the rows.
The most common causes for
failure of peonies to flower are:
Planted too deeply, too much shade,
competition from tree and shrub
berry roots, soil too wet, or varie-
ties not adapted to this area.
If cut flowers are placed in deep
containers filled with cold water
and allowed to stand overnight they
will last much better. Do not allow
the water to get on the petals.
The planting of evergreens should
not be delayed longer than neces-
sary. If planting must be deferred
until later this fall, protection from
sun and wind should be provided.
The planting of broad-leaved ever
greens such as azaleas and rho
dodendrons is best deferred until
spring.
Soft, fieshy-rooted trees and
shrubs move best in the spring,
These include the magnolias. rho
dodendrons, tulip poplars and birch.
1t is worth much to the gardener
to have sound, disease-free bulbs.
First class bulbs from reputable
growers may cost a few pennies
more but they are worth the differ
ence.

CalOchOrtus
Needs Late
Planting
Mariposa.Lily May
Be Used to Replace
Imported Tulips
By A. g. Mclean

Now that many bulbs are scarce
Calochortus or Mariposa tulips
should have added appeal to home
gardeners planning bright displays
of color for the spring. These are
closely related to regular tulips and
are verv showv if well grown.
Mariposa tulips, or Mariposa -
lilies as they are also called, are
native to California and adjacent
States. However, it takes some spe-
cial planning to satisfy their grow
ing conditions here along the East
ern Seaboard. They bloom in late
winter or early spring.
Like most dubious plants. the
Calochortus want light, porous soil
with good drainage. Remember that
the California climate is very dry
during the summer and that plant
growth must depend upon winter
rains.
Most kinds of Calochortus are
quite resistant to cold, but get on
poorly in our winters of alternate
freezing and thawing, for such
weather often starts growth too
early. 1t is important to plant the
corms late in a well-drained soil.
Plant them just before the ground
freezes and give the planting a
mulch over winter to keep the
ground frozen Naturally, the
mulch must be removed in the
spring so the plants can grow. In
the East, after they have flowered
and the tops have ripened, it is nee
essary to dig the corms and hold
them until just before freezing be-
fore planting again.
When this treatment is followed,
| Mariposa-tulips are quite success
| full. They may be grown in a cold
| frame, but then, too, they need late
planting and protection over win
ter. After ripening the glass should
be put on the frame to keep the
soil absolutely dry until winter sets
in. If this is done, lifting and stor-
ing during the summer Is not nec-
essary.
These Calochortus are well worth
trying. The ones known specifically
as Mariposa-t tulips are very showy;
these are mostly forms of Calochor-
tus venustus. which is probably the
showiest and one of the easiest to
grow. A long list of these plants is
being offered, and most of them. are
collected from the wild in California
They are available quite reasonably
now and there is no reason why
Eastern gardeners should not grow
these fascinating plants from the
West with success.

It takes sturdy bushes and ample
substance before a flower will stand
up under spring rains and wind.
While the tendency is to put most
emphasis, if not all, upon the double
or Chinese types, there are several
others that are worthy of more than
passing interest. The fernleaf

brilliant crimson, is one of the first
to bloom in the spring. OficinaliS
rubra plena is another early flower

is an old, old variety and rates very
poorly as an exhibition bloom, but
in the garden may be depe22 led
upon for a good showing of bc.ght
mauve-pink flowers early each
spring.
The singles and Japanese types
are not only different but attractive
and useful. They Withstand spring
rains and wind much better than
the heavy headed Chinese doubles.
Le Jour, a mid-seaSon white with
gold stamenS; Helen-deep she'll
pink; the Moor, an early season
dark garnet red; L'Eticlante, bright
pink Towering in mid-season, are
recommended singles (Single row

yellow stamens).
The japanese varieties differ
from the singles in that the sta
mems and anthers have lost their
character as such and resemble
narrow petals tipped with vestiges
OF the yellow anthers and surround
ed by five or more broad petals
Isani-Gidui, white; Mikado, a red

This is particularly good time
to get rid of dandelions and plantain

so strong as in early summer. Plan
tain will die out if cut off an inch
or more below the ground, and this
work can be done to advantage with

dandelion is not so easy to eradi-
cate, and the best plan to follow is
to cut the plant off close to the
ground and inject a little gasoline
into the stumps with a machine oil
can or with a little apparatus made
for this purpose. 1t may be neces-
