Established
In Fall
Late Feeding Builds
Stronger Roots to
Withstand Cold

Feed YOUR established lawn a COM
plete, balanced plant food-one that
contains all necessary elements to
provide a square meal for the turf.
The use of manures and lncom-
plete products, which stimulate top
growth without corresponding root
DEVELOPMENT. often weakens the
grass, resulting in winterkilling and
making it easy prey for weeds IN
late spring. -Four pounds OF plant
food applied evenly over each 100
square feet of lawn area supplies
the grass with the elements needed
for extensive root development as
well as sturdy top growth.
Fall feeding is beneficial because
On shaded areas the grass will
have an opportunity to take ad-
vantage of the additional light and
make all the growth possible while
the trees are dormant and leafess.
Feeding in late summer and
early fall develops strong, vigorous
root systems that will help prevent
winterkilling.
Fall feeding assures some food
for the root system just as soon as
growth begins the following spring,
in case it is not possible to supply
an early feeding to the lawn at this
time.
Weeds are now practically
dormant or dead, depending on
whether they are the perennial or
annual type. and the grass will not
have to compete with weeds for
nourishment The grass is enabled
to make such satisfactory growth
that it is possible for the grass to
choke out many weeds. not only
in fall. but also in early spring.

When Dahlias Are
Being Disbranched
Inspect for Pests

Dahliss are now growing at an
alarming pace and their growth is
interrupted by thrips. tarnished
plant bugs, japanese beetles and
thousand and one other pests; but
the wise dahlia grower keeps con-
tinually behind these nuisances with
suitable spray. That is, If he Is
interested in obtaining large-sized
dahlias. Each time he disbranches,
he inSpects all parts of the plant.
Dlsbudding dahlias is equal to
pruning away certain portions of
the other plants. Disbudding is the
attempt of the gardener to shorten
the plant and produce large blooms.
Like an ordinary shrub, If the
dahlia plant were allowed to grow
naturally without any cutting. few
large flowers would be the result.
Disbudding consists of removing
certain buds that are not desired
for flowers. Disbudding Is done
simply by pinching out unwanted
buds generally found on the top of
a plant and on the end of a shoot.

transplanted and be in firm condi-
tion of growth. Transplanted plants,
if to be wintered in the open, must
have good drainage, and sufficient
time to become established before
heavy ground freezes are TO be ex-
pected. A loose mulch of some light
material, such as small brush, ever
green boughs. hay, straw, or some
similar material that will not pack
solidly, is good. Do not cover so
heavily that the plants cannot be
seen. or they will be smothered. Do
not cover until the ground is frozen
hard. This mulch Is to prevent
quick and continual freezing and
thawing. Heavy soil is the cause
of most winter injury. due to heav-
ing. To correct, add sand to the
soil to tighten it. Heavy freezing
will not injure pansieS, but alternate
freezings and thaWings will Cow

If old plants are moved to a cold
frame in autumn, some bloom will
be secured during the mllder periods
Of the winter.
In the South, little or no covering
will be necessary to carry plants
over winter In mild climates, but
subject to cold drying winds, a thin
layer of straw should be placed on
the plants.
Covering should remain on the
bed until early spring, when the
frost leaves the ground. On warm
spring days, remove some of the
covering to admit air, and gradu-
ally harden the plants. Keep the
covering handy for placing back on
the bed in late afternoon or during
the day, should it turn cold. Sprinkle
feeding of plant food on the soil
surrounding the plants. at the rate
Of one tablespoonful per square foot

The Garden Notebook
Strong Stakes, Careful Tying
Essential for Dahlias

1t is temptation to leave bulbs
in their packages and await cool
day before planting them. This is
seldom wise since most bulbs de-
teriorate Qose their vitality with
out proper storage conditions. Few
gardeners are equipped to store
bulbs. 1t is much safer to have
the beds ready for planting and to
set them out as soon as received.
Dahlias are making rapid growth
and they should be kept staked.
The large stems appear strong
enough to Withstand any rainstorm,
but experience has clearly illus
trated the Importance of strong
stakes and careful tying. Use soft
cords-not small hard string. For
fine show flowers it is well to feed
and water freely. A fertilizer low
in nitrogen and high in phosphate
and potash is preferred. A small
handful worked into the soil around
each plant at intervals of or 4
weeks should produce an abundant
crop OF flowers.
Crab grass Is making the finest
growth we have seen for years. 1t
is an annual, so keep it from going
to seed. Hoeing is one way, pulling
by hand is another; the easiest,
however, is to use one of the chemi-
cal weed killers. The best of the
weed killers do not injure many
garden plants while giving almost
complete control of the crab grass.
If the crab grass is in the lawn
and protection of bluegrass is in
volved, there are several weed kill
ers, including white kerosene, that
will do the trick.
One of the reasons for poor bloom
on dogwoods and azaleas is the hot
dry weather often experienced in
August and September when the
flower buds are forming. The best
insurance of good bloom is to keep
such shrubs growing and healthy.

GEORGIA'S Legislature in 1916
selected the Cherokee rose, bloom
of waXy whiteness, with a heart of
gold. 1t is thought to take its name
from the Cherokee Indians who
distributed the plant widely, and
since it is indigenous to the soil of
Georgia 1t flourishes with luxuri-
ance in every part of the State.
1t is the unassuming wild rose
Rosa pratincola-that the IOWA
State Legislature adopted in 1897.
Bearing a single flower it has a
charm and beauty that is best
brought out when used as shrub
berry.
A close cousin is the prairie rose,
or Rosa arkansana. which the Legis-
lature of NORTH DAKOTA decided
upon in 1907. This is generally con-
sidered one of the 'briers,' whose
traits are sweetness and simplicity.
The most striking of contrasts is
provided by the exotic American
Beauty, which the Board of Com
missioners adopted for the DIS
TRICT OF COLUMBIA in 1925. De-
cidedly an aristocrat in the floral
world, the American Beauty typifies
splendor in its richness of coloring,
commanding height and general
magnificence.

the words of that old song, Il send

In the realm of music rose songs
outnumber other themes. One with
a special significance in war years
begins:
The sweetest flower that grows
I give you as we part.
To you it is a rose,
To me it is my heart.
In the last World War the Red
Gross nurse was symbolized in a
popular song as The Rose of No
Mans Land"
John Gerard, celebrated as the
writer of an "Herball," published in
1897, observed that the rose doth
preserve the chiefest and most
principal place among all floures
whatsoever, being not only esteemed
for his bountie. vertues and his
fragrant smell, but also because it
is the honour and ornament of our
English sceptre."
He had reference. of course, to
the Tudor rose, which has been
England's national flower since the
Wars OF the Roses were fought.
They lasted 30 years-beginning
around the middle of the 18th
century-and owe their name to the
fact that the rival factions wore the
rose as a badge. The Yorkist party
favored a white rose and the Lam
castrians red, but the long-drawn-
out struggle came to a happy ending
when Elizabeth, the Yorkist Prin-
cess married Henry Tudor, of the
Lancastrian line, and the rival
dynasties were united.

Early preparation of the soil for
lawn grasses will do much to insure
smooth surface. If the soil is
thoroughly worked now and then,
allowed to settle, given a final rak-
