delightful fragrance. Then in 1885.
Scarlet Clean with its dazzling color
and sweet scent, rated a gold medal.
Again in the space of a couple OF
years the Clean hybridS were also
awarded a silver medal. Likewise in
1886 silver medal was awarded to
a much more compact and dwarf
type. Instead Of being seml-run-
ner, it forms an almost perfect globe.
These new globe or gem varieties
are much in demand for borders, as
we'll as for use in rock gardens.
Since the 1886 awards named va
rieties of every color except blue are
listed in reliable seed catalogues
even to a creamy white, much
coveted garden color.
Climbing nasturtiums can be
trained III many charming and at
tractive ways They make desirable
subjects for large porch pots. Sup
porting the plants on a trelllS or
ladder will induce nasturtiums to
reach a height of 18 or more inches
during the summer. Seven different
colors can be planted in one pot,
thus adding interest to the effect.
California, with its enormous flowers
of rich maroon and moonlight, a
lovely. creamy-white, makes an ef-
gective combination for pots.
One year we planted climbing
naSturtiums in our rose beds and
let them run as a ground cover
While the soil of rose beds is rich
for nasturtiums, they make luXu-
rant foliage growth, but send out
fewer blooms. Being midsummer
plant, it was the ground cover that
we were interested IN and We got
the desired results, even though
there were few blooms.
An almost inevitable pest of this
plant seems to be the black bean
aphid, which infests the stems and
under sides of the leaves, curling
and distorting them. This, however,
is readily overcome by using nlco-
tine spray as soon as the first aphid
! is seen. Continue to spray at in
tervals and your plants will be free
of this pest.
Nasturtiums thrive best in or
dinary soil. When planted in rich
soil the result is an abundance of
foliage with few flowers.
In England the nasturtium is
known as Indian cress and often the
seeds and leaves are picked COM
mercially and labeled with that
name. Right here We want to add
that we like to pick the fresh flowers
of an early morning, rinse them
carefully, wrap in waXed paper,
place in water, set in refrigerator
and use as needed as an attractive
addition in the summer salad bowl.
They lend a pungent zest to salads
and the effect is delightful.
Some "old-timey" housekeepers
used the nasturtium blooms for pre-
serving, but we can't help out on
this score,

wealth of pale rosy bloom. AS a
cutting" plant for the house the
laurel has few equals, for the tightly
closed buds continue to open into
full flower for days after the stalks
have been cut and set in water.
Dedicated by Linnaeus to Peter
Kalmia. student and traveller about
the middle of the last century,
"kalmia latifolia" is also known as
calico bush and spoonwood, the
former due to the pattern of its
flowers and the latter because the
evenly grained wood was much
used by Indians TO make their
simple eating utensils. However,
the familiar name of mountain
laurel seems to fit the plant more
closely, due to the fact that it is dis
played at its best in mountainous
regions, such as those of the South
ern Appalachian chain.
During May and June laurel is
at the peak Of its beauty and in its
native habitat puts on display
that is breath-taking in its lowell
ness. Wherever there are openings
in the wooded sections where it
grows the plants assume their best
growth. Light is a most important
factor in the growth of the noun
tain laurel. as is the need for an
acid SOIL Where too much shade is
in evidence the plants become dis
torted and flower sparsely.
Kalmias are classed as ever
greens because they retain their
leaves during the winter months,

The rhododendron is one of the
Ericaceae or heath family, in which
the azalea. the mountain laurel
and other familiar Towering shrubs
are cousins.
How does rhododendron jelly ap-
peal to the palate? There is one
variety-arboreum-of which the
Europeans are said to make jelly,
and its flowers are reputed to be
eaten in India. The mountains of
that mysterious and romantic land
gain added magniflcence from ma
tive rhododendron that grow to 40
or so feet in height. The North
American neXt-of- kin, however,
fourishes without fear of rivalry.
Indeed, in the Eastern United States
the rhododendron has been sig
nailed out for special favor, forming
the background of one of the Ma
tions most colorful flower festivals.
This takes place annually at Ashe-
vile, N c., in late June.
Celebrated with royal pageantry,

ar landmarks have disappeared under
pressure of modernization. The old

at present a temporary dumping

The once popular Plaza Hotel, at the
corner of Columbus Avenue and Holy

land is now occupied by filling station.
Famous Young's Hotel, another victim
OF progress, was recently demolished

Army, Navy Buttons
Blitzkrieg Fashions
Eagles, Anchors and Flags
Decorate New Frocks.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS


Salute brass buttons!" Military
buttons have blitzkrieged right into
he fashion picture This spring. The
military mood is a distinctive one;
moreover, it is a distinctly l941
mood. Uncle Sans eagles are soar
ng "style high, while the navy's
anchor is mooring a new fashion
phase into spring costumes.
The most familiar brass buttons
are the round fiat versions nodded
in eagle and anchor themes, and
designers are using them frequent
y. These are made even more at
tractive by enamelling the eagle in
ed, white and blue.
If you have a sweetheart in the
signal corps, the engineers or the
marines, you will find a series of
silhouette emblem buttons and pins
to meet your special requirements.
The anchor of the navy has been
silhouetted too, as has the star.
Anchors in gold or Silver finish,
spaced down a fly front frock, give
interesting detail interest. Wear this
dress with a REFER coat on which
you use twin lapel pins. These la
pei ornaments are anchor types
also, caught in a rope circlet no
larger than a silver dollar. If you
don't wear a REFER, pin one of these
circlets on your beret or on your
pocket book.
One career girl, who has a way
with her clothes and her budget,
goes military with one large round
eagle pin which she wears as a
sleeve emblem on her heavy sports
coat. On warmer days, she trans
fers it to catch back the wide brim
of a spectator sports hat which she
wears with a brass-buttoned suit.
For dressier fashions, the anchor,
the eagle, the star and the other
metal emblems of military theme
have been applied against red, white
or blue plastic buttons. They make
gay splashes of color on any frock.
Loveliest are the white pearl button
originals, large as a half dollar and
centered with gold anchor or eagle
motifs.
Speaking of plastics, the fruit and
flower buttons shown this season are
simply irresistible A button origi-
nal as beautiful as a jewel is one
fashioned as a cluster of grapes, in
realistic colors. This button can be
companioned with brooch, a pin
clip for hair, a upper pull or cuff
links. Other buttons popular for
prints include tiny cherries, toma-
toes, lemons, carrots and a whole
list of fruits and vegetables to pro-
vide smart color accents.
