Caution Important
For Successful
Tomato Plant

Early indoor started tomato plants
are now we'll advanced in the gar
den. Nearly everywhere they have
arrived at the stage where some
thing needs to be done to encourage
best fruiting. While it is conceded
they can be grown against house
or a building or on strings or poultry
wire, it is general that best fruits
are developed on properly staked
plants. The stake to support them
should be quite stout. Anything
with less strength than sawed-of
broomstick is hardly acceptable.
Pinching out the tops will induce
symmetry and encourage the growth
of new branches. Since the stems
are always very tender, they require
tying with some soft material. Wire
would cut them; raffia is good.
While strips of discarded clothing
are agreeable to the plant (and
probably less damaging than many
of the better types Of tying ma
terials), they are unsightly.
Many tomato plants are killed
through kindness, the gardener be-
lieving that best fruits will be pro-
duced from q large number Of fer
tilizer applications. This is easily
overdone, and unless the plants
show a definite need for an
increased amount of food the
thorough early season garden fer
tilization should bs considered
adequate.

Newest Irises Are
Very Handsome
And COlOrful

Jean Cayeaux, Prairie Sunset,
Stained Glass, May Day, Old Parch-
ment, Copper Luster, Radiant and
Rosy Wings-if you like irises you
will like these new varieties, for
they all are as lovely as their names
suggest.
Iris breeders have gone far in re-
cent years in developing varieties
in many new colors and with other
new and desirable characteristics
These plants are q revelation, con-
sidering the irises of q decade ago.
There has been an interesting de-
velopment in the old-time pink
irises. Experiments have been made
with yellow irises, too, and now you
can get large yellow ones of a good
clear color. From California come
Golden Bear, Happy Days and Cali
fornia Gold, which are really out
standing. Then We have . host of
newer yellows, Of which one of the
handsomest is Golden Fleece.
Large-flowered, pure white, hardy
irises are also obtainable now.
Among these are Snow King, Arctic
and Venus de Milo.
The newer irises are really worth
while. Get q catalogue, and If you
want something to make Q real show
in the garden next spring buy some
of the newer plants, even If they
are somewhat high in price. If you
take care Of them, you will have
them for q long time, and, remem-
Der, they increase rapidly. Don't be
surprised if newer varieties that
are even more outstanding are in
troduced in q few years; iris breed
ers are really accomplishing some
thing!

treatment.
Chewing insects use strong jaws
to bite off and chew foliage or other
plant parts. Caterpillars, as we'll as
the larvae of "slugs" of certain saw
flies and beetles, are familiar repre-
sentatives. These insects are usu-
ally controlled by stomach insecu-
cides such as lead arsenate. the
flourine compounds or the newer
rotenone- bearing preparations.
Pests of the sucking type are
equipped with beaks. through which
they extract plant juices. Typical
are scale insects, aphids or plant
lice, leaf hoppers and spider mites
such as spider and European red
mite. Contact insecticides such
as nicotine, sulphur and sulphur
compounds, pyrethrum, rotenone
and for certain scales. oil sprays,
are necessary for control.
Although many common shade
trees and shrubs require spraying,
most home gardeners lack proper
equipment to apply insecticides and
fungicides. Especially in the case
of large trees, entomologists warn.
1t is we'll to consult a tree expert
who has adequate spraying equip
ment and is familiar with local and
seasonal conditions.
Many shrubs are damaged bv the
same types of insects as shade
trees. These may be more readily
treated by the amateur. Ever

Rhododendron and azalea plant
ings seem to lose their beautiful
green GOODNESS during hot weather.
Now devoid of blooms, they are not
nearly so attractive as they were
when their gay flowers beautified the
foundation paintings.
Every gardener has In his seed
beds quite a number Of poorly
shaped, fairly well established an
nual plants, which can well be set
in such q situation. Those ANIMALS
which have grown just little lop-
sided might be a sorry sight when
planted out in full sunshine, but
when planted with their good side
exposed they are perfectly accept
able as planting material in the
foundation setting. Here, their
shortcomings will rarely ever be
discovered by your friends.
While those plants which grow
best in an acid condition should be
selected for this aspect, the average
annual is so accommodating that it
will grow even in the extreme acidity
demanded by rhododendrons and
azaleas.

Curb Those
Rampant
Growers
Spring Flowering
Plants Must Be
Cropped Back

Phlox subulata, the various arabs
and ever so many early Towering
spring plants make tremendous col
orful displays when in full bloom,
but soon after this display has
passed, they become nothing but
masses of unsightly bloomed-out
green or glaucus foliage which in
no way adds to the garden picture
In addition, now after the bloom
has ceased, We get our first oppor-
tunity to learn what rampant grow
ers these varieties have proven IN
be. Some steps must be taken to
curb them, otherwise they will en-
croach on the rights of their neigh
bors. Since so many of them root
wherever their branches touch the
ground, the garden would soon be-
come populated with none but the
rapidly growing varieties which arc
mentioned.
To overcome this We should eei
busy with heavy scissors or garder
shears. All the old flower cluster
and stalks together with the erea'
masses of overhanging foliage shoulC
be cropped quite closely. New
strong shoots will break out afte
shearing. from which next season
bloom will develop
Before it becomes unsightlv tn

is complete can be planted wit

is long growing season and the
winters are mild, it is good practice
to repeat the dosage every two
months.
Foliage plays a most important
role in the production Of healthy
stems and profuse blooms. 1t must,
therefore, be adequately sprayed to
prevent insect attack or the estab-
lishment of such common fungus
diseases as black spot and mildew
II the bushes are busted with special

The most prolific and harmful of
pests found on roses all over the
world are the plant lice, or aphis
These minute insects are equipped
with sucking mouth parts, and their
feeding on young, succulent tissue,
whether stems or foliage, quickly
devitalizes the bushes. To wage a
successful battle with these insect
bliztkrieg artists, infested bushes
should be thoroughly sprayed with
nicotine sulphate mixed with soap
flakes as spreader. Great care
should be exercised to cover the
branches and foliage as it is only by
direct contact with the spraying ma
terial that these omnivorous feeders
can be eXterminated. Then, if a re-
lnfestation occurs, as is quite likely,
get the spray gun on the job again,
for nicotine sulphate is sure death to
these pests, and also may be used in
conjunction with arsenate of lead to
control leaf-eating insects as well as
aphis.
Rose ehafers, those large grayish
bugs, with lanky. ungainly looking
legs and formidable snouts, are an
other serious pest as they actually

due to red spider or evergreen mite
attack, especially during long dry
spells. One or more derris, cube or
limbo sprays with a "spreader-
sticker," or these materials used as
dusts usually give good control.
Lace bugs often attack rhododen-
drons and azaleas, making them ap-
pear yellowish. Thorough spraying
of the undersides of the leaves with
nicotine sulphate and spreader-
sticker is effective. This usually
should be done in early June before
the bugs become too numerous.

to hold these pests in check. Where
this has not been done, one or two
summer sprays of nicotine sulfate
with spreader- -sticker will kill many
of the young insects in the crawler
stage.

Is a Hardy
Perennial
Does Well in This
Part of Country
In Any Location
By A. G.. Mclean

One perennial that is we'll adapted
to our Eastern climate and can
really Withstand either a hot or dry
location, partial shade or full sun
is balloonflower or Chinese bell
flower. This is related to the large
group of campanulas or true bell
flowers. and its scientific name is
Platycodon grandiflorum.
This is a long-lived perennial
which makes tuberous roots from
which shoots arise each spring. 1t
is best propagated from seed, for
these roots divide poorly. The flow
ers are good size, about 2 or 3
inches across and come in either
blue or white There are also giant
Powered varieties which are sup
posed to grow to or inches. but
these are not generally seen, and it
Is not easy to get seeds OF them
apparently. The ordinary forms of
Platycodon are really worth while
as summer blooming hardy peren-
mails. They bloom profusely in July
and early August, when flowers are
scarce. They are we'll adapted to
border decoration or for cutting
and will persist for years, even In
adverse conditions. There is dwarf
form known as mariesi, which is
we'll adapted for rock gardens or
permanent borders. There are also
duplex forms-that is, forms hav-
ing more than the four single pet
ais. The ordinary forms grow up
to 2lz to feet in height.
Platycodons succeed in any we'll
drained soil, but they do not like
wet feet. Otherwise, their culture
is of the simplest. They will grow In
sand and even in rather heavy clay
if we'll drained. Then, they stand
prolonged drought as we'll as any
herbaceous perennial that we know.
Very few diseases trouble Platy-
codons, and once established the
plants will persist for years. The
shoots become more numerous each
year from established clumps.
The best way to get them started
is by buying a good strain of seed,
or you can buy roots from any
nurseryman dealing in perennials.
If you want perennials for sum-
mer bloom keep the Platycodons in
mind. Seed sown now should make
young plants with roots large
enough to flower next summer, or
you can obtain roots in the fall or
spring. They start rather late in
the spring, so be careful you don't
hoe of the young shoots before they
are up.

the elm leaf miner. the elm sawfiy
and three species of rose slugs also
eat only the green parts OF the
leaves.
Familiar and destructive beetles
that eat foliage and flower parts
include the elm leaf beetle, the
japanese beetle. the rose chafer. or
rose bug. and the large gray or the
smaller black blister beetles.
Most leaf-eating caterpillars. saw
fly larvae and beetles are effectively
checked by spraying or dusting with
lead arsenate. Where injury to
plants may occur. or where safety
to persons and animals must be
considered, derris, limbo or cube
compounds are recommended. Cry
olite and barium fiuosilicate are ef-
fective against blister beetles and
rose chafer. A recently developed
Japanese beetle spray also Is rec
commended. This is synthetic
chemical that keeps japanese and
other beetles from devouring foliage
on which 1t has been sprayed or
busted.
Certain scale insects can best be
controlled by oil sprays applied dur
ing the dormant period. Other
species, which infest oil-sensitive
plants such as evergreenS, sugar
NAPLES and beeches, may be con-
trolled by applying lime-sulfur
sprays, or by sprays of nicotine sui
fate and q suitable spreader. Lime

WATERING:
Do not water very freely until
buds have formed, then water often.
When color begins to show. cease
watering. When you water. see that
the soil is soaked to depth Of 6
inches or more.
FEEDING AND OTHER
EARLY SPRING CARE:
Early spring is the best time to
give the initial feeding. Apply COM
plete. balanced plant food, sprin-
klingly evenly over surface of soil
at the rate Of one rounded table
spoonful per square foot. Keep away
from Young shoots and water In
we'll Feed again, at the same rate,
when the first blooms are cut.
In the spring, thin clumps 10
three to fve spikes. Remove surplus
shoots shortly after the plant has
made some growth.
STALKING:
Stake for support Bamboo canes,
stained green, make attractive, in
conspicuous stakes.
MULCHING DURING
GROWING PERIOD:
Some growers recommend mulch
ing during the growing period to
keep the soil cool and to avoid the
necessity of cultivating. The del
phinium has flbrous feeding roots
near the surface OF the soil which
are easily injured by deep culti-
vation. Where delphiniums are
mulched. plant food should be ap-
piled on top of the mulch when
feeding and the plant food watered
in well.
There is q decided danger In
mulching, however, and that Is
plants which are mulched are much
more apt to be attacked by disease
and insects than are plants sub
jected to clean and frequent cul-
tEation. For this reason many
gardeners prefer not to mulch del
phinium during the growing season.
SUMNER CARE:
Remove spent spikes after flower
Ing. Cut the tops back to new
growth and feed. Feed every week
or 10 DAYS thereafter to strengthen
the plant for second bloom. apply
ing one teaspoonful per square foot
at each feeding.
WINTER PROJECTIONS:
Remove all flower stalks, but al
low foliage at the base to remain.
Place coal ashes over the crown of
each plant. Then mulch with straw
or peat moss for winter protection.

The Garden Notebook
Still Time to Plant ANIMALS
For Late Bloom in Autumn

The Japanese beetles are causing
much concern among the garden
minded. There Is no effective poison
for them, but any spray-covered
foliage repells them. If they are
denuding your shrubbery spray with
lead arsenate, rotonone, alum or
even lime. Beetle traps will capture
them and constitute the only killing
program that the home gardener
may employ.
Are the weeds growing? Mine are.
Keep after weeds. for they not only
smother garden plants but they rob
them of food and moisture. A weed
destroyed while young saves con-
siderable moisture and plant food
for the flowers. A weed destroyed
while young does not disturb nearby
plants nearly so much as when you
pull out a well-grown specimen of
crab grass whose roots are most
thoroughly entangled with every
flower within a radius of foot or
more.
There is still time to plant
dahlias, glads and many ANIMALS
for fall bloom. The plants may not
grow so large as those planted in
April and May but they will provide
flowers for cutting in late August
and until frost cuts them down.

other folks do it and so can we.
Here are few of the rules" Let's
start with the boxes We used to get
cigar boxes down at the drug store.
Today we can buy or make contain
ers which are more durable and just
as easy to handle. The 12-by-12-

for the average sized packet of seed.
Six-inch bulb pans shallow pots)
are also useful and although small
for some packets Of seed should
hold enough seed for the needs OF
most gardeners. Wooden boxes may
be made that fill these needs very
well. but most gardeners make them
too large for ease in handling and
watering. Small boxes 10x12x2
inches may be moved about very
comfortably. If made of cypress
they will last for years. Always
disinfect old boxes to avoid diseases
and insect pests.
The starting medium may be rich
garden soil, soil and peatmoss, sand
and peatmoss, finely sifted COM
post, sphagnum moss. or combina-
ton of these materials. While rela-
lively good termination may be OBJ
tanned from any one of these ma
terials, gardeners find that mois-
ture holding capacity and success
will depend somewhat upon the
amount of humus tdecayed vege-
table matter, contained. Soils con-
tanning peat. compost or sphagnum
do not dry out as quickly as sand
or soil.
The starting medium, if likely to
contain plant diseases. especially
the "damping of" fungus, should
be sterilized. Sand, peatmoss and
sphagnum moss are in most cases
disease free. Other mediums may
be sterilized by baking-a rather
unpleasant procedure, or they may
be treated with formaldehyde dust
