Easy toGrow
These Early
Plant Snow Drops,
Winter.AcOnite
At This Time

Winter-aconite and snow drops
are among the most intriguing Of
early spring flowers. In some sec
tions. it can be safely said they
are winter bloomers. Many gar
deners who have tried them COM
ment that they have planted them
time and time again without sue
cess and they wonder what can be
the trouble.
There is nothing difficult about
growing these two flowers. provided
they are planted at the proper sea-
son. Most of us regard September
and October as the time to plant
spring Towering bulbs. Many bulbs
succeed when planted az that time,
but not so with our subjects today.
These bulbs must be sown before
middle September, so their roots
can enjoy good, strong growth. If
you will try planting them this time,
you can expect to be rid of your
troubles.
You will learn also that they in
crease from year TO year, provided
you do not move them. Although
they are not choosy. they do best
when planted in partial shade or
among the shrubs in a foundation

flower bed. A single plant that can
produce enough seed TO plant sew
eral yards will often go unnoticed
and escape removal. 1t pays to
get them all.
If you have bare spots in your
perennial border, it is good practice
to fill them with chrysanthemums.
Many gardeners regularly make a
practice of growing chrysanthemum
plants in some out-of -the-vay place
until fall, when they move them into
the borders. In this way it is pos
sible to have ample color in the
border in the fall and still have
the use of the space for other f1ow-
ers during the spring and summer.
Gardeners who dry flowers and
foliage for winter bouquets should
be making their selections now. Do
not wait until fall rains and winds
have ruined the plants. AS soon
as cut, tie in bundles and hang in
a dry, airy place until thoroughly
cured. 1t is seldom practical to
place such material in a vase while
curing. Usually whiting causes II
to droop.
The white clover we like to have
In our lawn grass mixtures ger
inmates best when sown in the early
spring. However, 1t is usually sown
at the same time as the grass seed.
Where this is done use little more
seed to make up for poorer ger
mination. One pound of seed is
ample for the average-sized lawn.
All spring Towering bulbs, except
tulips and lilies, should be planted
as early as the bulbs can be secured.
AS soon as they are received, plant
them to avoid loss Of vitality due TO
unfavorable storage conditions.

Daylilies Bloom
Under Various
Conditions

II you are interested in plants
which will flourish and bloom under
a variety of conditions try day
lilies. You may find them listed
botanically as hemerocallis.
If you have a weed problem and
previously have found it difficult
to grow plants successfully because
they we're crowded by weeds you
will discover that the vigor of day.
lilies is better than that of most
weeds. Weeds cannot crowd them
out. Little-used ground, all to
often neglected, is ideal for growing
daylilies. They will naturalize any
place. In addition, they are val
liable adjuncts to the border.
There is no need for you to bother
about your hard ground or exces-
sively dry soil. Daylilies will thrive
In all ground and will dc very well.
If the soil happens to be limey or
neutral, or even lightly acid, you still
have no problem. 1t can be planted
With lovely hemerocallis and they will
not disappoint you. However, like
most plants, they repay careful
planting and good culture.
Plant them sufficiently early so as
to give the roots time to become
established before cold weather.

Certain GOidenrod
Species Splendid
For Gardens

One of the best fall-bloomine pei
ennialS for almost all conditions Is
the goldenrod, or Solidago. We are
accustomed to seeing these splendid
native plants as weeds and do not
appreciate them as we should. But
there Is no common perennial that
makes a shower color in the fall
than some species of the goldenrod.
This is particularly true of Solidago
canadensis and S. sempervirens.
There are, however, MANY other
species of goldenrod that are quite
snowy and if kept in bounds are
really worth while for planting. par
tlcularly in wild garden. Some are
listed in catalogues, but it is more
interesting to select the species and
the considerable variations within
the species from the field and trans
fer them to our gardens. The Euro
pean species, Solidago viragaurea,
also has a dwarf form that may be
used in rock garden if the soil
is not rich.
Don't overfeed, because golden
rods in general are aggressive and
inclined to be weedy, Overfeeding
may also increase the size of the
flower heads, so that they be little
out of proportion to the growth Of
the plant. Otherwise, it is one of
our easiest cultivated perennials.
This flower is also we'll adapted
for cutting and will last a consid-
cradle length of time in water. The
pollen generally does not blow, and if
it is guilty of causing hay fever it
is because the susceptible person
buries his nose in the bloom. Where
it can be used in large paintings it
provides a mass of SNOWY color. 1t
has very few insect and disease
troubles.
Many of our native plants. if
'given a chance and really handled
we'll, are much more satisfactory
than a lot of the exotic things
which we try to grow One striking
instance of this is the ordinary
phlox. These are native of Amer
ica but are greatly improved and
one of the showiest and most salts
factory of all summer perennials.
We feel that goldenrod, if handled
properly. can be one of the best fall
perennials.

Potomac Rose Show
Encourages Growers

Home gardeners with roses to tend
and enjoy are fortunate members
of society. Those who, in addition,
are able to produce really fine roses
reap an especial reward. BY this
accomplishment they have the op-
portunity of sharing their created
rose beauty with others. This desire
has led to the Potomac Rose Show
q collective public display of roses
by their growers. These displays,
in turn, by their excellence and
example, ter( to stimulate the de-
sire of more home gardeners to
grow even finer roses.
In order to further and encourage
this laudable aim the Potomac Rose
Society of the National Capital, at
the September 20 and 81 rose display
In the New National Museum, Con-
stitution avenue and Tenth street
NV, is able. through the generosity
of Dumbarton Oaks, to award six
books on Roses of the World in
Color" to the six garden clubs
whose members collective rose dis
play secures the highest number of
points in the 125 variety classes.
Blue, red and white ribbons of
the Potomac Rose Society will be
awarded to the three best roses in
each of the 125 amateur classes,
in the hybridizer classes and green
house grown rose division. In the
home garden classes the Nicholson
Silver Bowl is offered to the men,

In this area having the most first,
second and third class placings.
The Richard L. Ruffner silver bowl
is provided for the amateur having

this 9Th annual Potomac Rose Show.
For hybridizers and nurserymen
showing the newer rose sorts and
those not yet introduced The Wash

New Pacific
Delphiniurn
Hybrids
American Strains
Replacing Seeds
From Europe
By A. g.. Mclean

Every one knows delphiniums, and
many home gardeners are interested
in the modern hybrids. The hybrid
seeds used to be imported from
Europe, and is still being done to
some extent, although American
strains are now coming into COM
mon use. Such American strains as
the new Pacific hybrids and some
of the West Coast strains like Bar
bera, Wheeler Croft and Lyondel
from West Virginia are as good, II
not superior, to most Of the Euro
pean strains and are well adapted
to our climate.
We have never been very success
full in propagating delphiniums
from cuttings in our climate, 20
most of them are raised from seed,
and the main thing is to get a good
strain Of seed. For successful del
phinium culture the soil should be
non-acid. fertile. and we'll drained
These are essential in Seedbeds as
well as for plants when set out. The
soil may become contaminated with
diseases organisms, such as the one
producing Fusarium rot, which
makes 1t very difficult to handle
these plants. In such q case, change
the location.
Sow delphinium seed as soon as
you obtain it. About IA days are re-
quired for termination and make
provision to keep the surface soil
moist during this time. Leave the
seedlings in the seedbed until next
spring and then they can be trans
planted. Seedlings may be trans
planted In the fall If they come up
too thickly but generally they win
ter better If left alone until spring.
Look out for insects, and particu-
larly for slugs. Sometimes these
pests will clean up a good crop of
seedlings, for they are very fond Of
young delphiniums BY sowing a
good strain of seed, there is no
reason why you cannot grow good
delphiniums for next year, but don't
expect the finest from q cheap
packet Of seed.

compilation of material from a
number of other books, but Is based
on actual experience in construc-

small leanto greenhouse and q sun
heated pit in Massachusetts,. The
facts are so arranged and presented
that they may be adapted to vary

Introductory chapter on the history
of greenhouses, followed by chapters
on construction, operation and con-
trasting advantages and disadvan-

leanto greenhouse, necessary tools,
soil mixtures, temperatures, and
plants that can be grown in each.
Construction details are clearly set
forth by explanation in the body
of the book, by photographs and
by a complete detailed drawing Of
a pit.
Especially helpful should be the
tabular list of plants for pit and
greenhouse, with data arranged by
columns as to type, season, whether
for greenhouse or pit, soil moisture,
propagation, and any special treat
ment. The list is not intended to
be exhaustive but merely what the

Bp Bertha Z. Boyd

Are you acquainted with the
spider plant? If not, it might be
we'll worth your while to know and
cultivate this unusual plant with its
marked individuality and beauty.
Spider plant is the common name
for CleOme spinOsa-a tall, rather
"straggly" tropical annual, showing
white and light purple flowers, and
having protruding stamens.
It is we'll suited to mass arrange
ment planting, especially as back
ground flower for borders. Standing
alone or in open spaces, it loses all
its individuality. 1t grows very tall
and spreading, allowing open spots
and sunshine for lower-groWing
plants in the, border. Reaching
height of to feet in a season,
the blooms will top almost any other
midseason border plant.
The flowers are very dainty, top
ping the branches with a round or
globelike cluster. Each day fresh
cluster covers the faded one. and as
they die a long seed pod is formed.
The blooms spreads wide with slen-
der stamens, truly resembling a
spider The flowers open every day
in the early evening, creating a
lovely. fresh effect to the border.

inches tall they should be thinneo
