1888 miles on one regular fill, In
blazing Death Valley, was proved to
be an oil of the Nth degree-an oil of
new high character. Hence its name:
c0N0c0 M MOTOR OIL
This dramatic test, supervised impair
tally and Officially Certified, was sim
pie, yet harsh. 6, identical new cars
were taken to Death Valley-where
the heat hits record highs. S of these
cars were each assigned different
widely-known, highly advertised
motor oil. The sixth car used new
Conoco Nth motor oil.
Each car was broken-in on brand
assigned by lot. Then, one 5-quart fill
of this same oil went into the crank
case-kept under lock. The cars were
driven 81 miles an hour until oil fail
ure cracked up each engine-utterly
wrecked it, All of this under impartial
official scrutiny, as Luus euery step IN the
test, right on through the dramatic finish.
Here is what happened
New Conoco Nth oil went 13,398.S
miles. Not another oil came within
1888 miles of this. One outstanding
oil failed S,26s.6 miles sooner than
new Conoco Nth motor oil. So it out
distanced the five competing oils by
74% to 1919.
Why this Astounding result
was possible

Inspiration
OF Rose
Show
Amateur Gardener
Can Learn Much
From Display

Several home gardeners of this
area have been started on the road
to growing better roses by the dis
covery at Potomac rose shows that
varieties they especially like and are
now growing can be coaxed to pro-
duce even more splendid blooms.
A realization that the varieties they
now possess may become real beau
ties suggests also that they can
gardens. The ambition to accom-
plish this follows as q natural course
and the desire to make progress in
growing better roses, once born, con-
tinues to develop.
AT the Potomac Rose Show home
gardeners see their own roses with
clearer eyes and from this experience
usually set out upon the high adven-
ture to improve them. Thereafter,
the home garden varieties are
pruned, fed, sprayed. disbudded and
cared for to the Joy OF these gar
deners and their friends.
Rose tastes are individual. The
IOsc val lictlcS vi IIlc ulllcIclll hIllOS
and colors that do well in a given
area are best sscertained by grow
ing trials. The standard types for
local planting can be seen by visit
ing the Potomac Rose Show on Sep
tember 20 and 81. There one may
learn the names and make a choice
of the different colors and varieties
from the display Of roses which do
well in this vicinity.
One has to see established types
side by side to know his preference
In addition. the new and as yet
unintroduced varieties OF the United
States will be on display for the first
time. This collective rose display by
the home gardeners of this area pre-
sents q sterling opportunity to all
who come on September 40 and 81
to the New National Museum, Con-
stitution avenue and Tenth street
NV. Any one in this area who loves
flowers should not miss the coming
Potomac Rose Show or fail to share
In the pure delight which the sight
and perfume Of roses supply In such

Collective Effect
Of Narcissuses
Good in Beds

Although not all narc.ssuses are al
hardy as the old-fashioned Lent
Lily, for the most part they are all
strong, multiply rapidly, and are
quite suitable for cultivation in
the open ground in nearly all por-
tions of the United States. The
very expensive sorts are grown and
flowered In pots generally in
greenhouses In-between grades
which can be fitted into the budgets
Of most gardeners are used for ac-
cents here and there.
On the whole, best interest comes
from the collective effect of mar
cissuses when planted in beds. Un-
fortunately, they do not make a
complete garden. since they adorn
it for only q few weeks At other
times they are worse than useless
as decorative plants.
A good way Of handling them Is
to fill the beds with them at this
time of the year and lift the bulbs
after they have finished Towering
Instead Of putting them away, SIM
ply place them in a plot of ground
where they can be covered with
soil until they ripen thoroughly,
after which they can be lifted again
and stored. This plan permits the
use of the border for Towering an
nuals.

September marks the renewal of
active garden work. First and fore
most should be the rebuilding or
renovation Of old lawns, seeding of
new lawns and the feeding and top
dressing OF grass that is in fairly
good condition. Bulb planting gets
under way in September, although
planting Of tulips and the bulbous
iris is best deferred until October
planted as soon as possible. Prun-
ing OF evergreens-narrow leaved,
can be done in September and 1t
Is a job too often left undone, al
though most evergreens benefit ma
terially through such care. The
seeding of several hardy ANIMALS
may be made at any time space is
available.
While it is bit late to buy roots
OF the tall-bearded iris it is not
too late to move established clumps.
The species-siberian, japanese
fulva, foliosa, ETC., are best moved
this month.
A drastic cleanup of the peren-
NAL borders is in order after sum-
mer neglect. Do not hesitate to cut
them back severely, removing seed
heads and stragsly growth. Fall
rains and cool weather will soon
stimulate them 10 new growth that
will improve the gardens appear
ance. Remove grass, weeds, and
dead foliage.
Moving Of perennlals should be
undertaken as quickly as the beds
can be made ready. This job is one
that the beginner will wonder about.
but the experienced gardener knows
that the rearranging Of beds and
plant materials is never done. Do
not disturb Japanese anemones,
hardy asters or false dragonhead
(Physostegia this season; they
are best moved in the spring. Spring
Towering perennials, however, move
readily in the fall if the transfer
is made early so that they may be-
come thoroughly established before
winter, or when a siZable ball of
earth is taken to avoid disturbing
the root system.
Do not prune deciduous hedges too
severely at this season. Heavy prun-
ing stimulates new growth and 1t
may be that the tender new shoots
will not harden of in time to es-
cape early freezes. Winter-kill of
privet and other shrubs is not COM
mon, but then most folks do not
prune their hedges at this season.

Secure Rowing Canes
Of Your Climbing
Rose Bushes

Good gardening dictates that
necessary tasks are better done
while there Is still time. Those of
you who needed the advice on early
stakes for annual and perennial
plants have come along this far
without having your plants beaten
down by the strong summer winds.
One of the jobs which can now
be done is tying up the rowing canes
OF climbing roses. A string or two
here and there, making a connec-
ton to a fence or arbor will keep
the canes off the ground, prevent
you from tripping over them some
evening. and will also keep them
out of the way OF the lawn mower.
which as you now realize must be
worked overtime.
Although we look on pruning as
an early spring and late fall op-
Grafton, certain amount of it is
needed during the growing season.
The climbing roses are a pretty
good example. Each time new
shoot appears, the best thing TO
do Is to cut of. at the ground line.
an old cane which has finished
blooming. This will keep the climb
ing rose plant alive with canes
which are sure to bear the best
blooms next year.

Plant Crocus
In the Lawn
This Year
Shortage of Other
Bulbs Is a Boost
To This Flower

Spring Towering crocus are now
available in many varieties and
colors, including white, cream, prim-
rose and deep yellow. Crocus is
always an interesting plant, and
this year it should be especially so
because of the shortage of spring
towering bulbs which follows as a
normal result of the war abroad
The crocus should be interesting
to us also because of its cheapness
A gardenful can be had for very
little money. Obviously, the named
sorts are more expensive than the
unnamed ones.
Those sold as unnamed crocuSes
are generally varieties which have
become mixed in the digging or
sorting operation. They are in no
way inferior to those especially
identified with the market names.
Many flower gardeners now plant
crocuses in quantity in their grass
lawns. The procedure Is simple
They take of the turf, chop up
the soil below, mix several pounds
of bone meal TO each square yard
of surface, set the bulbs on the
ground and relay the sod The
present is good time to perform
this operation.

Destroy Ants Nest
If Plants Are
To Thrive

Gardens in the South are now
suffering from a plague Of ants
which appear year after year at
this time. The ants nest in the roots
OF plants and slowly kill them.
Sometimes they manage to eat the
entire root system OF the plants
away. leaving nothing but the above
ground portions of the plants.
Seed shops sell very attractively
favored poison materials intended
for the control of these ants. For
their success. they depend on the
workers coming above the surface
70 obtain the sweet fluid which is
then carried back and fed to the
queen and the baby ants in her
nursery. Obviously, the delightful
treat poisons her and her nurslings
ns well.
Many gardeners prefer to use
cvrethrum or rotonone solutions ap-
nlied directly in the soil. They punch
a few holes in the ground about the
infested plants, fill them with a
solution of the recommended mate
rials diluted with water according
30 the manufacturers formulae, and
then plug the holes with a wad OF
clay. This plan has much to recon-
mend it.

Scrape and Save
Good Top Soil

There is a great wave of build
ing in this country. Most con-
tractors plans agree on iron-clad
specifications for the building con-
struction, but are generally lax in
specifying plans for the grading and
the plants for the planting.
In the majority of cases, con-
tractors finish grading with soil ex-
cavated from the cellar They cover
the good top soil which nature has
spent years In developing.
1t Is a wise move on the part Of
the new home builder to have in
serted into his contract that 50
much top soil is to be scrsped from
the places. where the excavating is
to be done and this is to be used
later In surfacing the garden and
lawn areas.

Flowers of Sulphur
Remedies Mildew
Effect on Plant

Asters, heleniums, chrysanthe-
NUNS, and other fall garden plants
are in their full glory during Sep
tember. Since the flowers are 30
freely produced, because of the
abundant moisture available at pres
ent plus the additions of liquid food
which the gardener makes from
time to time, sufiicient flowers will
be grown to permit of regular col
lecting. There is no need to have
faded flowers IN the home during
this month.
But the heavy dsws which occur
night after night are not 80 good
for the plants, and many of them
begin to show the effects of mildew
Should mildew appear, dust with
flowers of sulphur and no further
annoyance will be noted.
The potted plants intended for
indoor Towering should be taken
inside the house each night. This
will save them the ills which often
attend excessive amounts of dew,
and gradually will accustom them
to live In the drier conditions they
must endure indoors later.
