Old.F fashioned Pinks
Are Regaining
Popularity

Spicy scented. cheerful faced
pinks are favorites with all gar
deners. Whether they are fringy,
roundly scalloped or lightly blotched
is of little concern. They are
pinks and are enjoyed.
As edging plants, pinks are
thrifty, hardy and excellent binders
for rose or perennial garden
Their yield of flowers is so abundant
that it is possible to cut fresh bou-
quets daily for table decoration. All
these qualities are helping pinks
make a comeback.
Among the most familiar are the
Chinese pinks with their gay colors
and deeply fringed or roundly
notched shapes. and the garden
pinks (Dianthus plumarius) with
their ample cushions of foliage from
which rise interesting and many
colored blooms. The cheddar pink
is probably more full-scented. It's
clove-spiced flowers are generally
paler in color than the others, and
it is slightly more dwarf
For a wee delight, the neglectus
form. with its tiny pin cushions
filled with bright rose flowers, de-
lights all gardeners. Then there is
the maiden pink whose fine green
foliage in grasslike mats rises ex-
plosively only to be topped with
miniature blooms on 6 to 7 inch
wiry stems.

Use Ground Covers
Where Grass Will
Not Flourish

There Is no substitute for a good
lawn. Under the best condition,
lawns need little care. The care
required grows in proportion to the
dlmculties or conditions imposed
on the lawn grasses. Too tight sol
causes the lawn to thirst. Too wei
soil makes them boggy. Too much
sun under a hot sky burns the
lawn. But under the condition OF
too much shade there can be nc
lawn.
An excess of shade is generally
accompanied by the proximity OF
tall trees. whose hungry roots
stretch out in all directions to alb
sorb the nutrients and water con.
tent of the soil.
1t is indeed fortunate that fol
such a location we have available
some Of the plants described a.
ground covers. There is the Eng
lish Ivy, for instance. Either the
large or small, rounded or pointed
leaved varieties will grow where
lawn grasses are a perfect failure
Drought seems to encourage it, and
1t fights its way ahead. Too much
moisture does not seem to hurt 1t
except in winter, when some freez-
ing might result. Above all, 1t will
grow in even the densest shade.
More striking when in flower, al
though 1t is interesting at all sea-
sons because of its small, glossy
leaves, Is the periwinkle, which, likt
ivy. will grow almost any place.

Tropical Water Lilies
Need Plenty of Food;
Very Easy to Grow

This is the season of the year to
plant your tropical water lilies.
Until the water in the pools has
warmed it is likely that your nurs-
erymen will not ship plants to you
or will ship them only when you
assume responsibility for their well
being. Tropical water lilies are ex-
actly what their name indicates.
BY comparison with the hardy
water lilies tropicals are larger
Some of them have tremendous
leaves, and one species. the vic
torias. develop leaves large enough
to comfortably float the weight of
a small child. Few of us have
pools to accommodate them. While
the other tropical water lilies do
not grow as large as the victorias.
they make substantial leaf spread
and should not be expected to
bloom in a restricted water area or
in small containers, since. like most
OF the tropical plants, they eat and
eat and eat.
When received. tropical water
lilies are young pldnCS ueNelOplnS
in or 4 inch pots. They need
only to be set near the surface of
the pool. A spot where the height
of the water above the boxes is not
over inches is ideal, and boxes
which contain 3 or more bushels
of soil seem to satisfy them. The
planting procedure is simple. Dig
a hole in the soil. Set in a tropical
water lily plant after removing it
from the pot. Pack the soil around
1t, and you will have tremendous
show of water lilies.

Crab Grass
Killed by
Shade
Let Lawn Grasses
Grow Tall Enough
To Cast Shadow

Beautiful lawns are not hit and
miss affairs. No one can expect to
have a satisfactory grass lawn and
do nothing about it. Except for a
few places where it is especially diffi-
cult to grow grass, willingness to do
the work required is 80 per cent Of
the battle
Good lawn grasses are developed
from a combination of seeds selected
for their ability to grow over long
seasons under average conditions
The better the seed the more weed
free it is. Crab grass is usually one
of the seeds not found in lawn mix
lures. However, it is the one grass
that seems to manage to get into
everybody's lawn. Wedding 1t out
is a laborious. never-ending Job; f;
and it returns again and again.
Fortunately, there is one way to
cope with this obnoxious weed. We
know crab grass grows in sunlight,
the stronger the sunlight the
stronger will be the crab grass
growth We can greatly reduce its
resistance and often kill it entirely
by first sickening 1t with shade and
allowing the shade to continue until
its death is insured. Ordinarily. al

Empress Tree Bears
Fragrant Flowers
Of Violet Color

Empress tree, Psulownia tomen-
tosa, is the subject of many ques-
tions from home owners who would
like to enjoy the striking, broad
leaves and fragrant, pale violet
flowers of this tree in their own
gardens.
Formerly known as Paulownia i'm
perialis, this handsome tree grows
40 feet high or more, and its flowers
are produced in large, snowy pani-
cles. Without somewhat protected
location, however, empress tree sell
dom bears flowers north Of Virginia
because the buds are easily killed by
low temperatures. But if given such
a protected place, the tree sometimes
thrives and produces blooms lavishly
In this part of the country.
Other than the necessity of cater
ing to its somewhat tender nature
cultural requirements of empress
tree are rather simple. Many nur-
serymen grow empress trees for
screen or foliage effects, cutting the
trees back to the ground each year.

Do Not Neglect to
Use Sprays Well
At This Time

Don't neglect spraying at this
time. A modest outlay purchases all
the proper gardening sprays that
are needed to do a good job. The
whole secret of successful spraying
is to get ahead of excessive damage
to your plants; so 1t means watch
ing them carefully. As soon as you
see trouble starting, get busy.
Remember these simple rules
For chewing insects, use some of the
stomach poisons such as arsenate of
lead or the newer rotenone COM
pounds. For sucking insects use a
contact poison containing either
nicotine or pyrethrum. There are
many mixtures on the market II
these materials are used regularly
and before insects become estab-
lished, the gardener will not have
much trouble. Don't expect to kill
a heavy infestation with one or two
sprays. Repeated doses will be nee
essary to stop the damage. In
spraying for plant diseases, 1t is
necessary to get ahead of the dis
ease, or not much can be done about
it This means anticipating plant
disease troubles and spraying for
prevention. In looking after roses
for instance, If you spray regularly
every 10 days with a mixture OF
arsenate of lead and sulphur and
when you see plant lice, with nico-
tine, you can keep the roses free
from all troubles throughout the
season.

Dahlias
Room to
Expand
Stalking Is Also
Advisable for
Taller Types
By A. e.. Mclean

This is the season when gar
oeners are interested in dahla
planting. Many favor planting
dahlias early, and then cutting
them back severely in midsummer
to hold the growth down and build
a good root system. There are
many good growers who advocate
rather late planting. however. for
by this method they keep their
plants growing continuously and
have young fresh growth that
bears bloom In late August and
September when it is wanted. Fol-
lowers of either method NAV find
a few remarks about planting help
full.
II you are using roots or divi-
sions. be sure they are covered
with 3 inches or more of soil. This
permits the stems to root and they
will withstand winds much better
than if planted closer to the sur
face. II is a good thing to plant
even deeper than inches. but il
you do, don't put more than )
inches of soil over them at one
time or the shoot may have diff
Guilty In breaking through.
II you are using young plants
set these deeper than they have
been in the pots. They should be
at least 2 or ; inches deep and,
II tall and leggy, set them deeper
The stems will root fast enough.
As soon as the young shoot is
good sized don't be afraid to pinch
out the growing point, to keep the
plant bushy. Not much fertilizer
should be used when planting
dahlias unless the soil is quite poor
II 1t Is necessary to use fertilizer
dig 1t under to make the roots 90
down.
One more caution-dont plant
dahlias too close together. Better
plants and flowers will result if
they are given ample room. and
they should be at least 3 feet apart.
Unless you keep dshliss cut back
wei, 1t Is necessary to stake them.
In fact. with the average amateur,
1t Is better to stake dahlias any,
now. Place the stake when YOU
plant the root, and be sure it is
long enough. A 6-foot stake is not
TOO long for the average, strong
growing dahlia plant; 2 feet should
be in the ground and 4 feet above
BY placing the stake when plant
ing, the roots are not disturbed.

traced back to the nest and the
fumigant used at that point, never
in the house.
Calcium cyanide in granular form
is sold in special metal cans equipped
with spout. which serves as an sp-
plicator. This fumigant is very eco
nomical to use, as only as much of
the granules as would cover a dime
are sufficient to annihilate an entire
ant colony The ground must not be
wet, as burning of grass blades would
result, and 1t Is recommended that
the nests be probed with thin stick
to a depth of inches so that the
queen ant. living deep in the colony,
may be eliminated. AS soon as the
granules have been injected into the
nest the opening should be closed
with soil and in q few seconds all
ants will be killed, as there Is no
escape for them.
As the calcium cyanide grsnules
are placed directly in the soil rather
than broadcast on the surface, this
material offers no hazard to children
or pets, especially as there is no
poisonous residue after the gas is
once liberated.

Slugs Easily
EradiCated
By Poison
Prepared Bait May
Be Left Under
Flower Pot
By Edwin II. Perkins

v
When something goes wrong with
the plants in the garden, it is easy
generally to detect the perpetrstor
of the damage. Plant lice can be
seen at work on the plant. The leaf
eaters are found by turning up q
leaf or two. The borerS, despite
their best efforts at hiding, leave
holes to indicate where they have
entered the plant stems. But there
is one group of above-the ground
pests which although they leave the
traces of their work behind them
generally disappear during the day
light hours. I speak of slugs.
Slugs. or snails without shells
work only in the dark. They eat
our tenderest vegetation and play
havoc with the choicest items of a
seed garden or a rockery. They
probably get in their best work
where moisture is always present.
They hide during the day under
rocks, boxes, or any other place
which offers a cool dark retreat
Handpicking them at night, aided
by a pocket flaShlight, is tedious and
results are generally unsatisfactory
Far better results are obtained by
spreading little piles of poisoned
bait here and there in the garden
where evidences of their work have
been seen.
Slug poisons, generally sweetened
mixtures of bran with a stomach
poison added. should be mixed &C
cording to the manufacturer direc-
tions and deposited in little piles in
the garden. Covering the piles with
wedged-up flower pots protects them
from rain dilution and provides Sc
cluded retreats, where slugs 60 to
eat themselves to death.

Use Plenty
Of Water
On Roots
Transplanting May
Be Done Any Time
If Rule Is Kept

Because of the dry weather which
extended over the Eastern sea-
board from the New England States
to the Carolinas. many home gar
deners were late in getting their
transplanting done This was an
unnecessary delay. for although it
is not considered safe to set plants
out in very dry weather, there is no
reason why it cannot be done If the
plants are we'll watered.
In fact, when plants are well
watered into the soil at planting
time, the growing roothairs are sure
to come in direct contact with the
soil, which is very desirable. In that
case. a good root system is built up
quickly even if the top is below
standard.
There is still time to do a lot of
tranSplanting. In fact. if care is
used. even trees and shrubbery may
be moved at almost any time of
the year Nurserymen and land
scape gardeners know how to do
this successfully. The main thing is
to get all the roots you can and
see that the soil is around them
we'll. Use plenty of water to wash
the roots in close contact with the
soil. Reduce the top in proportion
to the amount of root destroyed. If
this is not done and the plants are
in full leaf. they will wilt badly and
probably die from not getting
enough water. Of course. if you
can get plants already with good
root systems, as ones grown in pots.
they will not need much cutting
back. Plants grown directly in the
open need more severe cutting back.
Another important thing in late
transplanting is to shade the ma
teria1 for a day or two until the
roots have become established. This
will prevent too rapid drying Any
thing that can be done to prevent
a plant from whiting badly until the
root system has taken hold is in
valuable to success In late trans
planting.
