Proper Way
Of Starting
Seedlings
Planting in Drills
Recommended for
Best Results

The seeds of tender plants for
growing indoors on the window sill
are generally small and need to be
planted with care. It's wasteful to
plant them too close together. There
are two general plans for handling
them, planting in shallow drills and
broadcaStlng.
Planting in drills is a miniature
form of farming. The farmer fur
rows his soil and makes his plant
ings in a prescribed line. BY use
of a ruler and blunt instrument
like a pencil, it is possible to draw
burrows in a pot of well-prepared
soil into which the seeds are
dropped, one at a time, at even
spaces. They are then lightly COW
cred.
The second plan. broadcasting, is
easier, but does not always work
out so we'll When broadcasting, the
surface of the soil in the pot is
slightly roughened and the seeds
scattered from the package. Fine
seeds can be mixed with several
times their bulk of soil to insure
better distribution. A light cover
ing of soil is generally sufficient.
Some very fine seeds need only be
pressed into the loose soil.
Cover the seed pot with sheet
of glass and a piece of cardboard to
exclude light. Moisten the soil by
setting the pot in a water-fllled
saucer or pan. Transfer to the win
dow sill after the soil is thoroughly
moistened-then await results.

If you are getting new roses for
spring planting, remember to order
early and plant early. All good
rosarians stress the fact that If
spring planted roses are to succeed
early planting is important so that
the plant may become established
before hot weather sets in.
Roses are heavy feeders. To as
sure vigorous plants, with healthy
foliage and an abundance of bloom.
keep the beds supplied with proper
nourishment. For established plants
apply plant food very early in the
spring, as soon as the frost is out
of the ground; feed one rounding
tablespoonful OF comp etc, balanced
plant food to each square foot OF
space in the bed or surrounding
the bush. (This is equivalent TO 4
pounds per 100 square feet Apply
on the surface of the soil and work
into the soil lightly with a steel
rake. Any plant food that comes in
contact with stems or foliage should
be washed off.
For feeding first-year plants, apply
one level tablespoonful plant food
per square foot Of soil surrounding
the plant. This is equivalent to 3
pounds per 100 square feet of surface
area)
For subsequent feelings, feed at
the same rate every three weeks
during the growing season Except
in JULY, feeding up to August Is
(not later).

Time Now to
Begin Work
On Lawns
Thorough Feeding
First Requisites;
Rolling Helps

Don't be last-minute gardener
if you want a nice lawn this year.
If you don't have a good stand Of
grass, get busy now. Feeding is
the first requisite. You can make
sowings of grass seed again and
again, but if the soil does not con-
tain sufficient nourlshment to sup
port the young grass plants after
the seed has terminated, you will
soon have the same bare spots, or
worse still, weed patches.
OF course in addition to feeding
you will have to take other steps
to renovate a weedy, patchy lawn,
but that is the first essential.
Here is the proper procedure to
renovate your lawn in the spring:
l. Rake the lawn. removing any
debris (sticks, trash and leave0
which may have accumulated on
the lawn during winter, so it will
not interfere with growth of the
grass.
2. Apply a complete, balanced
plant food, as soon as raking is
completed. Make application at the
rate of pounds g quarts per 100
square feet. Apply by hand or with
a plant food spreader. If the grass
has not yet started into growth it
is not necessary to water the plant
food in. If growth has started, be
sure to make application when the
grass is dry, and after applying,
soak the lawn to carry the plant
food down into the soil. and to
wash it off of the grass blades.
g. Roll the lawn, to eliminate any
air pockets which may have de-
veloped during winter through al
ternate freezing and thawing. This
operation brings the grass roots
again into firm contact with the
soil so that growth can 60 on. Clay
soils require less rolling and should
be rolled with lighter weight
roller than used for ordinary soils.
Do not roll the lawn when the soil
is wet. The ground should be
reasonably dry so as to avoid too
much packing.
4. Reseed thin and bare spots with
a good grade of grass seed, using
from to pounds per 1000 square
feet. Before seeding, pulverize the
soil in bare spots, and in seeding
such areas, use about twice as much
seed as is used on thin turf. After
seeding cover the seed lightly with
ton soil To Drotect seed. and give
it a chance to terminate.

Leading off in any list of State
flowers is Alabama's goldenrod,
which can preen itself on rendering
similar service to both Kentucky and
Nebraska. In addition to being one
of the "showiest" of wild flowers,
it is so luxuriant and widely dis
tributed in the United States that
many botanists and flower lovers
have suggested it for the floral
emblem of the Nation.
In these United States there are
said to be rs or more species of
goldenrod, and this abundance is re-
f1ected in its choice by States as far
apart as Alabama, Kentucky and
Nebraska.
The formal or botanical name Of
goldenrod is Soldago a genus Of the
family Compositae, which, We are
told, is closely related to the asters.
Growing wild and free the plant
sprays field and meadow with bright
yellow grace, but it has qualities
other than adornment to its credit.
1t is regarded in some sections as
valuable for forage, providing sheep,
especially with food. 1t has also
place in medical history, by reason
of a volatile oil which has been used
for its tonic and aromatic or frag-
rant properties. A tea has even been
made of the leaves of one species,
Solidago odoro, or the sweet golden
rod.
In order of date Nebraska was the
first of the three goldenrod States
to formalize the flowers selection.
The State Legislature chose it in
1895, Alabama did likewise in 1917
and Kentucky in 1926. The signifi-
canoe allotted to goldenrod in flower
lore is intriguing-its meaning being
"precaution."
According to an act of the Arizona
Legislature, The pure white waxy
flower of the Cereus giganteus
(giant cactus, or Sahauara, shall be
the State flower of Arizona"
The cactus is another plant that
is essentially American, being
specially adapted to the arid regions
of this country. Cacti attain a
great age and height, and the Sa-
huaro or Sage of the Desert may be
$50 years old and from 80 to so feet
tall 1t is indeed a giant sentinel
when grown, the thick body being
columnar and fluted.

use of the fruit, grinding the GRIM

the American and frultlng habit OF
the Dahoon, its parents. There are
a number of varieties of the Ameri-
can holly, including I. opaca howard,
which has a darker green foliage
and a superior fruiting habit. There
is also a yellow variety, l.
opaca Xanthocarpa.
Among the introduced hollies the
outstanding are the English Il.
aquifolia), the Chinese Il. cornuta)
and the Japanese II. Crenata). The
latter is the hardest and is often
used in foundation paintings in this
area. 1t is widely recommended as
a substitute for lockwood in sunny
situations because it is much less
subject to winter sunburn. The
variety conveXa Il. crenata conveXa)
Is not only small-leaved resembling
a boXwood, but it is quite dwarf in
stature.
The English and Chinese hollies
being somewhat more tender are
more commonly used as specimen
paintings where their glossy, spiny
foliage and brightly colored berries
show to best advantage.
We normally think of hollies in
terms of Christmas decorations, but
they have many other uses. Even
the American holly, which grows to
be a good sized tree, makes a most
striking hedge plant. Slow in growth.
1t can be kept to moderate height
for many years. The hedges on
either side of the Memorial drive
between Memorial Bridge and Ar
lington Cemetery are of American
holly. The Yaupon is widely used
in the South as hedge plant, but
is generally thought to be too tender
for such use in this area.
AS foundation planting the hollies
have much to offer They are very
slow growers and hence do not begin
TO cover the windows and hide the
house within a few years of planting
as so many evergreens do. They
NAV be used in sun or shade, and
they like the acid soils common to
this area. Their brightly colored
berries give an added interest to the
shrub border in the winter as well
as provide food for feathered visitors.
While most of the hollies have bright

For winter color in the shrub bor-
der one can hardly obtain a better
shrub than the Winterberry Il. yer-
ticillata) a deciduouS holly of medi-
um height-lesS than feet. While 1t
prefers a shady moist situation 1t
seems to thrive in full sun in the
average border when sufficient humus
is incorporated in the soil. A gen.
erous mulch each spring and fall
will keep the roots cool and retain
moisture.
For best results one should trans
plant the hollies in the spring. 1t
is highly desirable to obtain them
from nurserymen who regularly root
prune in the nursery row and who
sell them balled and burlapped
CB&B). Even with this precaution
it is well to remove few branches
and to strip part of the leaves.
In digging a hole for a holly one
should put the top spading aside to
be mixed with not less than an equal
proportion of leaf-mold or we'll
rotted compost. The more leaf-mold
or compost the better. 1t is usually
good practice in our clay soil to
entirely discard the second spade
depth. After placing the holly in
the hole the soil should be carefully
worked around the ball. AS further
precaution it is we'll to flood the
hole to insure proper settling of the
soil and to prevent air pockets. 1t
is customary in shrub and tree plant
ing to mound the soil to allow for
settling. For hollies, however, it is
best to leave a slight depression
about the trunk so that rain will
/ soak into the soil. Daily Sprinkling
of the foliage for the first summer
after planting is sometimes recon-
! mended. However, with a light
/ pruning and the stripping of part
of the foliage this is not necessary
on specimens from reputable nur-
series, except during unusually dry
weather.

Diseases and insect pests are not
especially bad on the holles, al
though a leaf spot disease frequent

the foliage of the American holly in
this area. 1t may be controlled by
picking and burning infected leaves
The holly leaf miner, an insect that
burrows through the leaf tissues, is
controlled in the same way, although
spraying with a nicotine soap solu-
ton in the spring is usually ef-
| fective.
Most hollies are dioecious; that is
