Hide That Back Fence
With Morning Glory

How about a morning glory to
cover that back fence? There is q
new and attractive white Towering
one introduced just this year called
Pearly Gates, a companion variety
to the well-known Heavenly Blue.
Morning glories are quite snowy
and easy to grow. However, they
should have well-drained soil which
Is not too heavy. They generally
do better on a soil which Is rather
light or one kept friable. They are
hot weather plants. While quite
satisfactory from seed sown in the
open ground, they do much better
If started earlier and transplanted.
If you have a cold frame. it is a
good idea to plant the seeds singly
in pots about April l, and then
transplant to the open ground where
you want them to grow after the
middle of May. BY this method of
planting and by keeping the ground
around them loose or mulched well,
there is no reason why you can't
have big display of morning glories
from August until frost. Although
they are not adapted to cutting.
they are among the showiest of
summer garden flowers.

It's Time for Pruning
Be Careful Not to Give Shrubs
The 'Bobbed Hair Treatment
If you have fruit such As grapes

If you have fruit such As grapes
or q few fruit trees, now is the time
to get the pruning done, for it is
then out Of the way. Pruning
grapes Is much the same as pruning
climbing roses. Generally, 80 to 40
strong buds are enough for the
average vine.
Raspberries and blackberries don't
need much pruning in the winter.
Simply remove the old wood, and If
there are too many fruiting canes.
remove part of them. Put don't
cut back too much for YOU may
reduce the fruit considerably If you
do. This is particularly true of red
raspberries. Generally, with black
berries you have to cut the canes
back quite q lot to keep them In
shape.

the quantities OF fresh vegetables
to be grown.
In planning the garden 1t Is well
to arrange 1t so that the most eff
cient tools may be used, so as to
conserve labor. Where one has the
use of a horse-drawn cultivator the
rows should be spaced to 31z feet
apart, garden tractor will work
satisfactorily in rows "a inches apart,
while the wheel hoe works very well
in rows IL to Is inches apart. For
hand cultivation the rows are seldom
closer than IL to Is inches. The
spacings given above for the larger
tools apply to all crops, but for
the hand tools they must be in
creased for crops that spread such
as beans, peas, tomatoes and cab
bage. Sweet corn is usually planted
in rows 3-feet apart, melons, squash
and cucumbers are oftentimes
planted in hills from to 6 feet
apart each way. On rich soil most
plants make a stronger growth and
need more space than on poor
soil. A we'll manured sandy soil
seems to produce the best garden
growth.
The home gardener, even though
experienced, will find many helpful
suggestions in the several bulletins
now available at the University of
Maryland and from the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
They are free upon request.

Cannas Ideal
For a Busy
Gardener
Provide Gay Mass
Of Bloom With
Little Care

Some people will find the amount
of time they have for gardening
limited this year so that much of
the time they have at their disposal
will probably be given to growing
plants that will almost take care
of themselves" More attention will
be devoted to plants that are little
trouble and yet afford bloom.
Why not consider cannas? These
commanding flowers used to be
grown a lot, but they have lost
much of their former popularity. At
one time cannas were used for mass
bedding, in borders and wherever
a mass effect of foliage and bloom
was desired.
They are among the easily grown
to most conditions. They generally
grow we'll every summer and always
look well provided the dead flowers
are removed. They are as nearly
blooming as anything we have.
from the latter part of the season
on, and they will grow with little
care.
Cannas are not adapted to cutting;
they are worth growing primarily
for their mass of bloom. Gardeners
who object to the red and yellow
varieties are welcoming the i'm
proved ones introduced a few years
ago in very good colors. Among
them are the fine white Eureka, and
pink ones such as City of Portland,
Hungaria and Rosea Gigantea, as
well as Mrs. Du Pont and Mrs.
Conrad. Gamma Wyoming is a
bronze one, and the standard red
ones such as President and King
Humbert are rich in color.
Gamma roots may be obtained at
most florists and seed stores. For
early effect 1t is well to start some
in pots soon, although you can buy
dormant roots and plant them
in the open ground. Cannas are
particularly pleasing along a fence
or in the background of flower
border. Don't plant them where
you want a low effect, for they grow
up to feet or higher. They are not
demanding as to soil and will grow
almost anywhere. Sometimes jap
anese beetles eat the flowers. but
otherwise cannas are practically
immune to troubles, and they are
among the easiest plants to grow
once they are started.

There seems to be revival In the
use of red-hot poker plants, va
riously known as Tritoma by some
people and Kniphofla by others.
Botanists prefer the latter name.
Several of these plants are hardy
in our climate, particularly the ones
now being offered as dwarf, free
blooming hybrids.
These hardy perennials are worth
growing as they are well adapted for
cutting and are quite satisfactory
as garden plants. There are sew
eral named varieties to be intro
duced this year to the American
trade. The old trftoma or red-hot
poker used to be ate-fowering,
growing rather tall, and it was not
too hardy. 1t was represented by
Tritoma uvaria and its many va
rieties, and these did not bloom until
late fall-September of October.
They have very snowy spikes OF

Men Are Encouraged
To Enroll in New
Garden Schools

In the two schools for gardeners,
sponsored and organized by the
American Women's Volunteer Serv-
ices, men are conspicuous by their
absence. One class has an enroll
ment of 80 and the other 40. Is
this to be interpreted that men are
not interested in becoming more
proficient gardeners?
With the increasing interest In
flower and vegetable growing. 1t
seems probable that there are many
men who would welcome the oppor-
tunity to enroll in such a course. II
a sufficient number are interested
and will write us, we will endeavor
to make the necessary arrange
ments.
The two courses mentioned above
consist Of IL two-hour lectures given
by competent persons, and cover
the entire field-soils and soil prep
aration. vegetable varieties and cul-
ture, insect and disease control, and
the canning and preservation Of the
products of the garden.

The Garden Notebook
Common Cause of Seeding Loss
Controlled in Several Ways

Many times the home gardener is
discouraged with the difficulties of
starting seeds in the home. The
damping-off fungus, which is the
most common cause of loss of seed
lings, may be controlled in several
ways: !. Bake the soil in the oven
dts a smelly job. g. Mix the soil
to be used in the seed boxes with
formaldehyde dust according to the
manufacturers directions. 3. Dust
the surface of the soil with red
copper oxide as the seedlings show
up. 4. Crystals of napthalene or
paradichlorobenzine scattered on top
Of the soil after termination has
started are usually effective.
As the weather begins to mod
crate it is well to examine those
beds which have been mllched to
see If the plants and bulbs have be-
gun to sprout. If they are begin
ming to push through the soil it may
be necessary to remove part of
the mulch. If too well protected
the shoots may make a strong
growth and then when uncovered
will be injured by the sun. The
long succulent shoots are very easily
damaged. Many gardeners find
that the removal of a mulch in the
spring is the hardest part of the
Job. It is difficult to pick the best
time.
Many gardeners are finding the
all-American selections of flowers
and vegetables well worth growing
They represent the judges choices
made in widely scattered test gar
dens, where the plants are being
grown. The plants must show an
improvement over existing varieties
to merit award. If you would try
something new try an all-America.
It is time to start anaryllis bulbs
for spring bloom. Water them and
bring into q warm place. Since
they are strong feeders q light feed
ing once every week or two will do
much to stimulate vigorous growth.
The supply of new high-grade
garden tools will be very limited
this spring and so the home gar
dener should seek first to repair
Evening star., 1942-02-22

and sharpen his old tools. II this
cannot be done he should not delay
in trying to obtain needed tools.
Along with mending and sharpening
tools the garden hose might well
receive little attention. Patch the
old hose as far as possible.
The early ordering of seeds,
plants, fertilizer and bulbs Is to be
recommended. Early orders receive
the choice of materials. Last
minute orders get what's left-if
any.
Winter freezes and thaws "heave"
markers and shallow-rooted plants
and shallow planted bulbs out Of
the ground. 1t is well to take q
look at the garden whenever the
weather permits. Push the mark
ers back into the ground. II any
plants or bulbs looks as though they
had been "heaved'' do not hesitate
to step on them, pushing them back
into the ground. If necessary
scrape up shovelful of soil to cover
exposed bulbs and roots.
Wood ashes are valuable source
of potash. Save them for your
woody shrubs, dahlias, peonies and
lilacs. As soon as the ground is
workable scatter the ashes around
these plants or where they are to
be planted and then cultivate into
the soil. With the present scarcity
of potash we should save and use
every bit of wood ashes that We
can find.
In starting seed remember the
old rule for covering them-two
times the diameter of the seed.
For very fine seed this Is imprac-
ticable and so we dust them with
fine sand. Sometimes it Is better
to press them into the soil and then
to keep the seed box covered with
glass until they have rooted. "a
cover so tight that there Is no
air circulation is conducive to mil
dew and damping-off. Put a match
stick under one edge Of the glass
cover.)

can be properly cared for.
The ideal garden should provide
for three-fourths of the family's
vegetable needs for the entire year.
However, most gardeners will not be
in position to attempt such an ambl-
tious program Many of our gardens
are too small to produce more than
a limited number of kinds and only
In quantities to meet daily needs.
Our Jobs and the civilian defense
program will necessarily curtail the
time available to work in the gar
dens. Then, too, facilities may not
be available to store food for win
ter needs. For the very small gar
den. for health and better nutrition,
emphasis should be placed on the
leafy green and yellow vegetables
and upon tomatoes. They are rich
In vitamins and much-needed min
erals and when freshly gathered are
most useful and tasty.
Some vegetables require wide
spacing and hence do not give as
great a return per square foot OF
space as others. Pumpkins, squash,
potatoes, sweet potatoes, canta-
loupes, watermelons. cucumbers and
sweet corn are in this group. Car
rots, beans, cabbage, beets, tomatoes,
chard and spinach probably give as
great a return for the space occu-
pied as any. Peas. when planted
early date March and early April,
may give fair returns, but In the
majority of cases cannot be de-
pended upon to to produce salts
factorily in this area. Cool-weather
crops, such as spinach, radlshes,
broccoli, caulif1ower. lettuce, turnlps
and collards must be planted very
early if they are to produce crops
of high quality in the spring. When
planted in the late summer good
quality fall production may be had.
Just which crops to plant and
when, as we'll as the length of row
of each, is quite problem for the
average gardener. The tables OF
garden information on this page
gives the best information available
for this area. 1t is suggested that
gardeners clip and mount them on
q piece of cardboard so that they
may be hung up for ready reference.
You will note that the amounts
of seed or plants and the length
of row which that quantity will
plant is to take care of the needs
of one adult in your household.
However, please note that this table
has two parts: The one for use
fresh and the other for storage.
Many gardeners will be interested
only in the part which relates to
