Victory Garden Show
Opens With Most
Colorful Display

Washington's first big flower show
opened last night with creditable
array of entries. Flowers, fruits,
vegetables, home canned products,
artistic arrangements and CONNER
cial displays all contributed to a
most interesting and pleasing dis
play.
Gardeners will find much to
interest them in the big show. The
large numbers of varieties of the diff
ferent kinds of flowers is an educa-
tion in itself. While the locally
grown vegetables and fruits on
display plainly indicate that not
all of our gardeners confine their
interests to things of beauty.
Several novelties claim their share
of attention. David Burpee, wide
ly known plant breeder and horti-
culturist has two. A chrysanthe-
mum flowered pale yellow marigold
named in honor of Nine. Chang
Kai-Shek and carries her maiden
name Mayling. A golden yellow
tomato. named Jubilee Gem, it re-
sembleS an orange, is of especial
interest since it is higher in vita
minis A and C content than the
ordinary varieties and is reported
to be as meaty as our old beefsteak
variety.
The new rose named in honor of
Mrs. George c. Marshall is being
shown as well as the rose Mrs
Miniver"
The dahlia display is especially
attractive with it's infinite variety

Fleeceflower
Blooms Well
In Autumn
Sturdy Vine Has
Many Points to
Recommend 1t

Fleecehower, a Chinese species of
our ordinary smartweed, is one OF
the best l-blooming vines. In
fact, where rather strong grow
ing vine which is easy to keep
within bounds is desired, there is
really nothing better than this at
tractive plant, sometimes called
fleecevine.
The most common f1eecefower is
Pplygonum aubertii, or silvervine
feecehower. 1t has good foliage
and attractive, large racemes Of
white flowers and rather attractive
seed pods. Closely related to this
is Polygonum baldschuanicum.
Bokaravine fleecef1ower, which is
also very attractive with flowers
tinged with pink, but with foliage
that is not quite so handsome. Both
of these plants are well worth
growing, where you need a vine
that is different and snowy.
Don't confuse f1eecef1ower with
the ordinary smartweed that grows
wild over the Eastern part of the
United States. The only similarity
Is that it has the same type of in
florescence and seed pods. Several
of the herbaceous knotweeds, also
In this family, are cultivated for
ornamentals. The well-known an
nual Princess Feather is one of
them. There are several rock gar
den forms and two or three shrubby
plants, which bear handsome how-
ers. Some of these attract jap
anese beetles. A silvervine feeceA
flower may also be used as trap
plant and still give a very effective
showing in the autumn.
Polygonum grow best in we'll
drained soil, which is not acid. The
plants are quite cosmopolitan in
their requirements and are easy to
grow. They make strong growth
in any fertile soil, developing shoots
20 to 30 feet long in season and
need very little special attention.
That is one reason for planting
these two vines, for they will grow
almost anywhere provided they get
enough sun and plant food. If no
pruning is done except to thin out
and cut away dead wood, bloom will
start in July.

space they occupied can be filled in,
fertilized, rolled and seeded to grass.
If bare patches occur in the lawn
itself they should be raked vigor-
ously, or if large enough, loosened
with the spading fork. Work in
humus or compost and fertilizer,
level and smooth with the rake and
SOW thickly with new seed. Slight
hollows or depressions in an estab-
lished lawn can be graded gradu-
ally by giving a light mulch of
compost at frequent intervals. In
about two or three seasons the hol-
low is filled in and grass is not
smothered.
Any new seed must be kept well
watered until good roots are formed
and . strong growth is made. A
winter mulch Is not ordinarily nec-
essary but If one is used it should

Liatris Thrives
Even in Poor,
Coarse Soil
Tall Plants Produce
Wealh of Bright,
Shovy Blooms
By Agnes TrinbIe

Dy Agnes ffmOfe
Liatris is another fall favorite
which should be planted now. 1t
is excellent for cutting, therefore
a florists favorite, too.
This plant grows from to 4 feet
high, and produces bright colored
flowers along its stalks in 'wand-like
fashion. The petaloid coloring of
the involucral bracelets add greatly
to the effect of the gay and spec
tacular bright rosy-red and striking
purple flowers. When grouped in
masses they will do splendid job
of giving color accent to fall gar
dens.
Raising ones own plants from
seed is always more interesting, and
liatris can easily be grown from
seed, but many growers advise the
home gardener to make his start
with plants. They say it takes so
long to get fine plants from seed
but seed sown now will furnish
flowers plentifully early next year.
1t is true, however, the plants may
not be as large, but just give them
time and they will be.
Why not try both ways? Plant
seeds outdoors now and get several
good roots and put out next month
watching and comparing the two
will give an added interest. Fine
field-grown plants can be had at
very nominal price. In selecting
roots, get those with 2 or eyes
for they will have better blossoms.
Here is big thing in liatris'
favor-it will grow and flower beau
tifully in poor soil, in fact, so poor
that most garden plants would re-
fuse to live in it. But, it will. of
course, do better if planted in good,
rich garden soil-and if grown in
this type of soil it will require no
special attention.
September glory is a popular vari-
ETY. around Washington. It is easy
to grow, very hardy, grows 4 feet
high. starts blooming In August and
continues until late autumn. It's
snowy rosy-purple blossoms are
most attractive. Other popular va
rieties are L. elegans and L. pycno-
stachya. All varieties produce their
flowers in like manner-in wand
like spikes.

Cold Frame Extends
The Growing Time
Of Garden Crops

The cold frame has so many uses
that no Well-equipped garden IS
ever without one. BY using it
wisely the range of plants grown
may be increased, and the length
of time during which garden crops
can be harvested is extended by
many weeks.
Any one who is handy with tools
can easily build a cold frame and
equip it with some means of ventila-
ton and Slated top to be used to
shade plants. The standard size
for the frame is 6 by IL feet, and it
should be at least 18 inches deep
In the back, sloping to IL inches in
the front. The plants are apt to
be nipped by frost If the frame Is
any more shallow.
New seedlings may be started
out of doors in the cold frame be-
fore they can be planted safely in
the garden, or young seedlings
which were started in the house or
hotbed can be transferred there for
hardening off before 1t Is time to
plant them in the open ground.

punctures by spraying and avoid
wounding new canes.
Orange rust Is a fungous disease
causing orange red patches on the
under surface of the leaves, which,
once infected, cannot supply food to
the plant, thus checking its fruit
bearing ability. The fungus winters
on old plants and grows in the
pith of new canes and out into the
leaves. 1t cannot be destroyed when
once established, SO dig up and burn
infected plants in the spring.
Crown gall, caused by bacteria
which enters the inner tissue of the
plants through wounds, is widely
distributed and often becomes a
serious pest. AS it attacks many
other species of plants it may be
present in any soil. It appears on
both roots and stems as rough,
spongy gals varying in size from
one-half inch to several inches in
diameter. When plants in an estab-
lished bed show signs Of this dis
ease they should be dug up and
burned or the disease will reinfect
other plants.

Perennials
Welcome
Hubeh Variety of
Jabonica Fills

By A. C.. Mclean

Right now one of the choicest OF
the fall flowers that you find in
bloom is Anemone hupehensis, really
a variety of Anemone japonica,
which is the earliest of the fall
blooming anemones. This is bright
pink in color and is closely followed
by other varieties of Anemone ja-
ponica. These latter run from pure
white through pink to rather dark
red. They come in both single and
double forms, and there are a num-
ber of named varieties on the mar
ket.
Most of them are we'll worth
growing and are among the choicest
of the ll-blooming perennials. The
variety Hupeh is early enough in
Towering to escape early fall frosts,
but unless the other varieties are
planted in a situation where they
will be protected by slightly over
arching trees or shrubs the flowers
may be injured. in some years. This
easily can be avoided If they are
planted in a well-drained position
and are given quite lot of protec-
ton. Don't put this protection on
until the plants have naturally died
down somewhat, which will be in
December, Most people smother
rather than protect them. If they
are planted in a well-drained soil
and are given protection to keep the
ground frozen they will winter we'll
in most cases. They prefer neutral
soil or slightly acid soil and will
stand ample feeding.
Anemone japonica spread we'll
from the roots and make quite an
imposing clump of fall-blooming
flowers They bear g-stemmed
! flowers 2 inches or more in dame
ter from October on. The best
time to plant them is in the spring,
although they may be planted in the
fall. They are propagated by means
of root cutting planted at this time

plants may be brought through a.

cloth or paper.
Cauliflower and broccoli are in
jured by freezing, but cabbage will
stand moderate frost, and brussels
sprouts hard freeze. Sweet corn,
if in the roasting ear stage, will re-
main edible for 10 days or more after
a killing frost. Snap beans are
killed by light frost and should be
picked before one occurs. The beans
that cannot be eaten within few
days should be canned. Elephants,
Chinese cabbage, okra, pumpkins,
