Evening star., 1942-06-21

With only a few beetles present
in your garden manipulating is the
best method of control. A pail or
pan with kerosene-coated water and
a small paddle constitute the usual
equipment for manual control.
The poisoning of japanese beetle
grubs is the same as for June beetles.
Lead arsenate may be incorporated
in the lawn before seeding, which is
the best. time. For established lawns
apply in early spring or in Septem-
Der. Five to 10 pounds of lead
arsenate per 1000 square feet of lawn
is the usual application. The lead
arsenate should be mixed with dry
sand or earth to facilitate uniform
spreading. Wash the lead arsenate
into the soil with the hose. How
ever, one word of caution. 1t is not
known just what kind of reaction
may be obtained between the lead
arsenate and the soil chemicals so
its use should be undertaken with
caution. Some lawns in this area
have been "grub-proofed' without
apparent injury to the grass or to
the plants growing in them.
The beetles are here, and doubt
less will be for a long time to come.
but that is no reason why we should
not have and enjoy our gardens.

Fragrance Adds
To Pleasures
OF a Garden
Bush Honeysuckle
Is an Example of
Scented Plants

Gardens are developed largely
from the standpoint of color display,
but fragrance is a very important
element in the pleasures to be de-
rived therefrom. Memories of gar
den odors are much more lasting
than those of sight, and more atten-
tion might well be paid to planting
those shrubs and flowers which
might contribute to this pleasing
feature.
Among shrubs one of the earliest
to bloom is the fragrant bush honey
suckle q. fragrantissima), and, Of
course, every one thinks of lilacs.
The old-fashioned sweet shrub, :"
with its chocolate-colored flowers, is
an old favorite. Then there is the
fragrant lockwood and the cabbage
and damask roses. The odor of the
foliage of the sweet briar roses is
not to be forgotten. Some of the
recently introduced virburnums,
such as earliest, fragrans and burk-
woodi have scented flowers. The
sweet pepper bush is a native sum-
mer Towering shrub with pleasing
perfume. A few of the azaleas have
strong carnationlike fragrance.
Many other woody types have
more or less fragrance. Wistaria,
Japan honeysuckle, black locust,
magnolia and many others might be
mentioned.
Herbaceous groups have many
fragrant f1owered forms, and in the
herb garden will be found many
plants with fragrant foliage. The
grass pinks have long been favorites
in the garden, as has also the sweet
rocket. Many irises are quite frag-
rant, and the garden heliotrope adds
to the enjoyment of the garden.
Stocks are notably fragrant, though
not as adaptable to the garden as
the greenhouse. Sweet Williams,
violets, lily of the valley, primulas,
day lilies, phlox, campanulas and
host Of dubious types can be counted
upon to add to the pleasure of smell.
Among the ANIMALS are pansies,
petunias, sweet peas, mignonette,
Towering tobacco, sweet alyssum
sweet sultan and many others.
There are a number of fragrant
forms of clematis, water lilies and
bedding plants, such as heliotrope,
geraniulns and others.
The old-fashioned garden was
noted for its fragrance, and little
thought given to the matter would
easily suggest ways Of adding the
most delightful element of fragrance
to an otherwise uninteresting gar
den. There Is a wealth of material
published along this line, so that one
need not lack for information or
material In developing the fragrant
garden.

plants. In combination with pale
pink or white petunias or with yei-
low xanthismas, Violet Queen
Alyssum is exquisite.
The old favorite and almost for
gotten Garden Heliotrope offers
many Of our radiant purple shades.
While the flower hues range from
pure white to deeper purple, accord
ing to variety, these latter named
tones are by far the loveliest Of all
Royal Fragrance perhaps tops the
list Of richly colored and extremely
fragrant sorts; Sutton's Sweet
Scented Bedding Heliothrope fea-
lures dwarfer, more compact plants
about 1S inches in height, Of de-
lightful sweetness and good. clear
dark lilac shade. Grown easily from
seed, heliothrope is an old favorite
which deserves q speedy return to
popularity.
Buddleia, Flaming Violet, Is the
one true-purple Towering shrub In
troduced this season. For sheer
brilliance and richness of sparkling
color, this buddleia stands supreme
Enormous, closely spaced flower
trusses grown on lusty, upright
plants will dominate the garden all
through the summer until late
autumn. This new variety is an
example of how magnificent q purple
flower can be!
These are q few of the best OF
the true-purple and violet shades
which are free from predominatine
tones Of blue or red which tend tc
destroy the color value of many So
called purple flowers.

In compensation for the cancella-

show, the members of the Little

Mrs. A. Douglas Farquhar won in

Semi>Evergreen
Is One of Best
Low Shrubs
Abelia Grandifora
Is Free.Blooming
And Very Hardy

The very first shrub mentioned in
your catalogue, Abelia grandiflora, is
as near ever-blooming as any other
hardy shrub. This is a semi ever
green plant closely related to the
honeysuckles, but it is freer flower
ing than most of them. In fact, it
is one of the best low shrubs.
The abelias are a large race of
Towering shrubs, most of them ma
tive to China. Abelia grandifora-
or glossy abelia, as it is often
called-is the hardest of the lot and
this is hybrid which originated in
a nursery more than 60 years ago.
This plant bears very handsome
glossy foliage and it holds it's foliage
quite late. There is likely to be in
jury to the tops during severe win
tiers, but new shoots will sprout up
and bloom profusely before fall. The
flowers are produced in graceful ter
minal panicles and they open as
tubular bells in pink and white and
continue for a surprisingly long
time. A hedge of this plant has
almost continuous show of bloom
throughout the summer and au-
tumn
Several other abelias are being
offered now, but most of them are
not very hardy in our area except
Abella engleriana, which bears rosy
purple and rosy pink flowers. This
species is not so free blooming as
Abelia grandifora, which is really a
hybrid of two other species.
Glossy abelias are we'll ADAPTED To
planting around a house in the
foundation planting or in a border.
Planted in protected situation they
seem to suffer more winter injury
than in more exposed site.
The cultivation for abelias is the
same as for most other shrubs. They
need slightly acid and well drained
soil OF good fertility. Most nurseries
offer plants at moderate prices.
