more to its taste. 1t does well in a
location of full sun or of partial
shade but a nominal amount of
moisture is necessary.
About the same method is fol-
lowed in planting this new campa-
nula as in planting any other peren-
nial. If you get potted plants, first
remove from the container, ball of
soil and all. and place carefully in
a hole which has been made in the
prepared soil just large enough to
take care of the roots, and place
so that the crown Is even with the
soil surface Press the soil down
firmly and water thoroughly, and
then water at regular intervals until
plant Is well established and growth
starts. If the earth is very hard
around the roots when the plant is
removed from container, it should
be set in pan of water for a few
minutes before planting in the open
ground. Field-grown plants require
a deeper hole than potted plants,
and the roots should be placed
straight down; then press soil firmly
against the roots, and water as with
the potted plants.
Blue gardenia blooms in June and
July, so 1t Is necessary to get the
little plants in the ground as soon
as possible so that they may be
ready for their work of blossoming
on time. These plants may be
bought for around so and IS cents
apiece, but unfortunately they may
have to be ordered from out-of-
town nurseries.

Perennials
Exhaust
Soil
Transplanting
And Division
Helpful
Bv A. t.. Mclean

Gardeners who have decided that
their perennial phlox need dividing,
but are a bit puzzled as to how to
divide them should find these direc-
tionS simple and efficient: Simply
break the clumpS so there are only
three or four shoots left on each
piece and set them out again, pref
erably in a different location. If
they must be placed in their former
location again, fertilize the ground
before resetting.
Established clumps of perennials
exhaust the soil This is one reason
for dividing and transplanting. AS
the clumps of perennial phloX be-
come old, they crowd each other
and die out in the centers, princi-
pally from starvation. The flowers
and trusses also get much smaller,
another reason for dividing the
clumpS.
Heleniums and sunfloWers are
generally better divided every year.
These do better if divided into pieces
of about two or three good shoots.
These with summer blooming chrys-
anthemums and any other late-sea-
son perennialS. can be divided now.
The earlier they are divided, gen.
orally, the more growth they will
make and the greater satisfaction
they will give in the summer and
fall. Usually perennial asters and
perennial chrysanthemums do bet
ter if divided to one shoot.
Perennial asters are now starting
and can be divided at once If
fall-blooming chrysanthemums have
made sufficient growth so the young
shoots can be seen, these may also
be divided.

Three Bulbs
TOBlOOmin
Summer
Ismene, Sprekelia
And ChlidanthuS
Easy to Grow
Bv EdrCin e.. POlCeH


Ismene. Sprekelia and Chlidan-
thus are not often seen in Washing
ton gardens. even though the first
one is not at all uncommon. They
are as easily grown as the commoner
summer-flowering bulbs, are rela-
lively inexpensive and add much TO
the delight and astonishment OF
those who see them in flower for
the first time
Ismene calathina Cbotanically
Hymenocallis calathina) is varlously
known as spider lily, sea daffodll
and Peruvian daffodil, although it is
neither a lily nor a daffodll. 1t
bears no resemblance to a daftodll,
but it is Ilylike in that it bears on
a 2-foot stem two to five large tubu-
lar white flowers. There the resem-
blance ceases, for the flowers have
rounded fringed lobes and fllaments
/ to 2 inches long. They are very
fragrant The bulbs have long
neck and should be covered at least
2 inches and planted after the
ground warns. The flower spike
soon appears and grows very rap
idly. coming into bloom in two or
three weeks after the bulbs are
planted. If one has a dozen or
more bulbs it is we'll to plant them
at intervals of two weeks so as TO
prolorg the Towering season. The
leaves are large and Strap-shaped
until klllpd nv
frost.
The bulbs should be dug in Octo-
Der and stored in warm and dry
place. Do not break off the old
roots when planting them. They
may be grown from seed, but are
commonly increased from offsets.
Sprekelia formosissima (Jacobean
lily) is closely allied to the amaryllis
It bears one large, snowy brilliant,
crimson flower on a stem a foot
high. The upper segments are as
cending. the lower ones are concave
and inclose the stamens and ovary.
The flowers appear as quickly as do
those of the Ismene and the bulbs
should be handled in the same
manner, but as neither the bulbs nor
plants are so large, they may be
planted somewhat closer-6 to 8
inches apart.
Chlidanthus fragrans, the gold
flower, produces clusters of from two
10 four golden yellow trumpet
shaped flowers on stems IS to l8
inches high. They bear a resem-
blance to the fall-blooming Stern
bergia. Handle much like gladiolus
by storing in a cool and dry place
over winter and plant in much the
same manner. A mulch of we'll
rotted manure and watering during
a dry spell insure plump, well-ma-
tured bulbs and an abundance OF
flowers the following season.

Two Factors
Determine
Good Turf
Proper Seeding and
Plant Food Are
Both Essential
By The Master Gardener

OF course we all know that without
grass seed. it would be impossible
TO have any turf.
But which is of greater importance
in establishing a turf of good quality
grass seed or plant food2
Recently the United States Golf
Association Green Section, which
maintains extensive turf test gar
dens. released data on experiments
they had been carrying on along this
line.
At the time results were reported
on, the test had been running for
slightly more than year. The best
plots were those which had been
seeded at the rate of 2 pounds and
3 pounds of grass seed to 1000 square
feet, with plant food applied at the
rate Of 40 pounds per 1000 square
feet total cost of plant food and
seed used was SAT and s57 an acre
respectively.
Plots which had been seeded at
the rate of Is pounds of grass seed per
1000 square feet, with no plant food
applied. were very poor, the turf
being thin and weedy, yet the cost
for this was $145 per acre.
However, in justice to both sides
of the question, it must be said that
even where plant food was applied.
with heavy seeding results were less
favorable than where plots were
seeded at the 2-pound and 3-pound
rate and plant food applied
It's very evident that not only will
you have poor turf if you do not feed
your lawn, but you must also be
cautious about seeding too heavily.
Too heavy rate of seeding will not
produce a good turf, with or without
plant food.
On the other hand, even the cor
rect rate of seeding will not produce
good turf if plant food is not used.
Therefore, in making a new lawn
or repairing an old lawn, use good
plant food, sow the proper amount Of
seed, and you will be assured Of a
good lawn at the lowest possible cost.

the natives. For the beginner, how
requiring special treatment.
On the other hand, one should use
care in selecting those that are too
easily grown, for sometimes they
take" the garden. I know of rock
garden that is to be uprooted and
rebuilt because the vinca minor
found the situation very much to
its liking. 1t grew so rampantly
that it smothered out the less ro-
bust plants. other strong-growing
plants include the honeySuckles
Noniceral, Sedum acre and sar-
mentosum, forget-me-not (Myoso-
tis), bugle (Ajuga), and thyme.
This does not mean that they are
to be avoided, but that they should
be kept under control.
In planning for the rock garden
it is comparatively easy to overlook
many plants that serve to keep the
garden colorful throughout the sea-
son. Ordinarily one should start
with the spring Towering bulbs, to
be followed with the early spring,
summer, and all-fiowering peren-
mails. If the rock garden is large
enough, include few Of the smaller
growing evergreens for winter effect.
One may also use ANIMALS in the
sunny rock garden (they seldom do
we'll in shade) although the task OF
planting them among the rocks is
sometimes difficult. Sweet alyssum,
creeping zinnias, etc, during the
summer and early fall will be found
useful to cover bulb paintings.
Shrubs are seldom included in the
paintings of the smaller rock gar
dens, although some of the herba-
ceous onees are especially satiSfac-
tory. The sand-myrtle Oeiophyl-
lum) heathers (Enica and Callu-
MAJ, azaleas, Saint Johnswort tHy-
pericum), sage (Salvia) and blue
spirea (Caryopteris incana), are a
few shrubs that may be found use
full, depending upon whether they
are used in sunny or shady rock
garden and upon its size.

Dividing Tubers of
Dahlias Results in
Better Flowers

While it is just little early to do
outdoor planting of dahlia tubers,
1t is about the proper time to start
propagating them, either by division
or cuttings. The stored clumps of
dahlia tuoerS should be inspected for
signs of awakening, indicated by
swelling buds on the necks of the
tubers. Planting the entire clump
results in a mass of thin, weak
plants which bear poor flowers. Di-
viding the tubers produces not only
more plants, but better flowers.
A stout pruning shear or a husky
knife is a suitable dividing tool. In
making the division it is essential to
include the neck of the tuber on
which one or more buds will be
found. Those tubers which do not
bear buds are unlikely to produce
Towering plants.
The dahlia stock can be further
increased by placing these separated
tubers in moistened sand under rea-
sonable warmth. Shoots will grow
rapidly from the buds. After shoots
have formed two sets of leaves, cut
them with a sharp instrument

Experiments Bring
ToLight New Data
On Spring Bulbs

DR.. R. C. Allen of Cornell Uni
versity has conducted some expert
mentS on tulip and narcissus bulbs
which will interest gardeners very
much.
DR.. Allen found that the date of
planting tulips has decided effect
on the length of stem of the flower.
Bulbs planted January l and later,
produced flowers with stems pro-
greSSively two inches shorter for
each planting. Bulbs planted March
l had flowers with stems approxi-
mately six inches shorter than
flowers produced from bulbs planted
October /.
Even though you seldom dig your
bulbs, this phase of DR.. Aliens work
definitely shows the wisdom of al
lowing foliage to ripen thoroughly
before removing it. Bulbs lifted on
May l and replanted in fall pro-
duced no flowers.
Of the bulbs lifted on May Is,
about 20 per cent produced flowers.
Bulbs dug June ! bloomed nor
mally.
Both tulips and narcissus re-
sponded to an application of plant
food. a complete plant food result
ing in the greatest Increase in the
weight of the bulbs.
To increase Towering ability of
bulbs for the following season, feed
again just after they finish bloom
ing. Apply complete balanced
plant food at the rate of one level

face area equivalent to pounds
per 100 square feet), placing this
around the plants, but not directly
on the roots, and working it into
the top two inches of soil. If water

living room, out care must De taken
that the fixtures are so installed
that one is not conscious of the light
sources. This will, no doubt, entail
quite little experimentation in
moving the fixtures from place to
place until the perfect garden pic
ture is created.
Various types of birdhouse lights
suspended from the limbs of trees,
hung in the arbor, pergola or on the
open porch can be utilized to illumi-
nate special areas. In the daytime
they look like bird houses but at
night, equipped with a 6O-watt lamp,
they can be directed to light up any
desired area or object. A garden
stand light, designed in pedestal
form with the lamp concealed under
the shelf containing a garden orna-
ment, can be placed in the center
of flower bed in the rockery, or by
the garden steps as safety precau-
ton. These graceful lighting fix
lures can be purchased for less than
So each, complete with six feet of

or fixed lighting units are available.
but the efficiency of the lighting de-
pends on the size of the lamp, type
OF reflector, spacing distance and
mounting heights. This type of
equipment is somewhat more expen-
slve, averaging about SIS a fixture,
but they are durably constructed
so that, except for replacement of
lamps, they last many years.
So many small gardens have lovely
formal or informal pools, the beauty
of which is entirely lost at night.
A bronze lily pad light may be in
stalled that will illuminate the
depths, so that the water literally
sparkles with life, especially if it is
stocked with goldfish. When buying
such a fixture be sure it is of the
right size for the depth of pool in
which it is to be installed and that
ooiAlS PAONASAoil ildo bCCll SO
that any condensation of moisture
within the unit is automatically re-
moved.
To provide a flood of artificial
moonlight around the house, bird
house light fixtures should be placed
under the caves with their lights
projecting down and outward. The
control switch should be located in
the master bedroom, so that if not
kept burning all night they can be
turned on at the slightest suspicious
noise.
One can spend much or little on
garden lighting and can install
homemade equipment or purchase
ready-made beautifully finished fix
lures inexpensively. The equipment
may be installed by a garden light
ing expert or one can experiment in
its proper locating oneself, but so
long as the garden beauty can be
enjoyed by the family in their hours
of rest every evening, much will be
added to the usefulness of life and
to the appreciation OF the garden.

is packed IN WIN neaVy IampeT,
as it should be. With sufficient
humus and sand thorough tamp-
ing prevents settling, avoids air
pockets, without rendering the soil
impervious to plant roots.
The placing of the rocks in rock
garden is fully as important as are
the humus and the sand. Rocks not
only provide setting for the
plants, but they serve to defect
moisture down to the roots. Unless
a rock is deeply set and properly
anchored with chips it will not hold
a position. 1t will soon f1atten out
or even tilt forward, thus turning
the moisture away from plant roots.
Large rocks are more easily an
chored and are more apt to remain
In position than small ones. Flat
rocks may be made to stay put.
The rock garden specialist usually
begins construction by digging a
trench II inches or so deep to pro-
vide a sound foundation. To begin
construction on the surface is to
expose the entire garden to the
action of frost and the whole face
of the rock garden may come
tumbling down as result.
Since the rocks form a setting
and background for the plants, they
should not compete with them for
interest. Thus the soft grays and
greens are to be preferred. Lime
stone, sandstone, slate, and some
forms of granite are the favorites,
Here we usually think Of weathered
limestone as ideal, while the softer
hues of granite are most easily OBJ
tanned.
In selecting plants for the rock
garden we can go as far as we like
in attempting individuality. There
are low-growing plants from the
meadows, there are those from the
nearby Blue Ridge, and we can send
for true alpines. If We guide our
choice according to the exposure of
the garden-sun or shade-it makes
little difference as to the habitat
from which they come. Some al
pines are as easily grown as are
