Try Firethorn
For Snowy
Display
Produces Berries
Of Bright Color
Which Persist

Among the choicest of the berry,
bearing shrubs which are hardy in
protected places are the pyracan-
thas, or firethorns. Farther south
they make a magnificent show, and
they are conspicuous objects in any
favorable location.
Firethorns belong to the rose
family and are closely related to the
thorns and apples. Their fruit is a
small, brilliant-colored berry that
persists fairly we'll through the
winter. Even if you have to protect
them over winter, these shrubs are
worth growing.
Probably the hardest of the lot is
Pyracantha occinea, although sew
eral of the other species are fairly
hardy and have been grown extern
sively for decorative purposes. The
main thing is to keep the wood alive
so that the Towering buds which
were formed the year before are not
winter-killed. If you will do this
the shrubs are very profuse in their
development of small PONIES, or
apples, in the fall Of the year, and
persist until we'll after Christmas.
Pyracanthas are generally ever
green shrubs. They should have a
weI-drained location and one that
is protected from north and west
winds, but aside from this require
ment they are not particular as to
soil or other conditions. Not only
are these shrubs outstanding for
decoration around the house on the
outside. but they are very distinc-
tive indoors.

Flowers Important
Morale Builders
During Wartime

Though much more stress is being
given to raising vegetables this sea-
son due to the national emergency,
the flower garden should not be for
gotten nor neglected. If we try to
shut all beauty and pleasure out OF
our lives the effect on our morale
and on our work would be very
bad indeed.
Flowers should have a definite
place in every home. They help
liven up and add a note of beauty
and cheer to the dullest interior
and make our homes more pleasant
places in which to live and work
and more worthwhile defending.
When you selected the seeds for
the flower garden we hope you
included among your favorites sew
eral which make good cut flowers
Make a resolution to keep a fresh
bouquet in each room in the house
while the blooming season lasts
Have a centerpiece of bright blooms
on the dining room table during
every meal. Food always seems more
appetizing when served in attractive

A.W.V.S. Gives Hints
On Cultivation
OF Gardens

The agriculture division of the
American Women's Volunteer Serv-
ices offers the following sug-
gestions for the cultivation and
fertilization of victory gardens.
a. Cultivate the soil frequently
throughout the growing season and
especially after rain.
b. Constant stirring of the soil
permits air to enter, destroys weeds,
brings hibernating bugs to the sur
face (where they are easily de-
stroyeO conserves moisture already
in the soil and allows every rain
to penetrate to the roots of the
plants.
c. A scuffle hoe makes work easy
between rows and the narrow, "
shaped, dandelion hoe is ideal for
working between plants.
d. Fertilizer should be applied
when the crops are we'll started.
Make a shallow trench along both
sides of the row, or in a circle
around plants. place the fertilizer,
water it in thoroughly and draw
soil over.
e. Suitable home fertilizers are
the 4-12-4 and 5-10-5; percentages
of nitrogen, PHOSPHORUS and pot
ash. Follow, exactly, the given in
structions.

Program Arranged
For Rose Showing

A short program OF talks and DEM
onstrations has been planned for the
visitors to the rose gardens of DR..
and Mrs. Whitman Cross today.
DR.. Charles A. Weigel, senior ento-
mologist, and DR.. Philip Brierley, pa
thologist, both of the United States
Department of Agriculture, will dis
cuss the insect and disease enemies
of the rose and their control. David
Lunsden, well known horticulturist.
will describe and demonstrate rose
hybridization. The program Is to
start at pm. although the gardens
will be open to the public from 2
to 7 pm.
These rose gardens, located at 101
East Kirke street, Chevy Chase, Md.
(two blocks from the Chevy Chase
Circle are being opened to the pub
lie for the benefit of the Potomac
Rose Society and the receipts will be
used to purchase Defense bonds. A
fee of so cents Is required for entry.

son rambler and Dorothy Perkins
are the two best-known ramblers,
but they are for Northern and Mid
western gardens.
The large-fiowered climbers and
the climbing hybrid-teas, however,
are well worth having. In making
selections of the large-f1owered
climbers, which are mostly June
bloomers, give careful consideration
to the space they are to occupy.
Some of them are such strong
growers that a single plant will
cover fence 20 feet or longer. DR..
Van Fleet, Chaplin's Pink Climber,
Silver Moon and Gardenia are ex-
amples of these vigorous growers.
Less vigorous growing large
f1owered climbers include such va
rieties as: Apeles Mestres, American
Pillar, Golden Climber, etc. The
ever blooming climber Blaze Is a
remontant sport of Paul's Scarlet
and has the same growth habit.
The climbing hybrid-tea roses are
for the most part strong growing
sports of bush hybrid-tea roses.
Most of them are pillar roses which
grow up to 8 or 10 feet, although
there are some, such as climbing
Nine. Cecil Drummer, that are strong
growers and need large trellis. In
several cases the climbing forms are
much more desirable than the bush
forms. Talisman has never been
particularly successful for me as a
bush, but the climber has been a
source of pleasure. The same is true
of Lady Ashtown.
The dwarf bush roses known as
polyanthas are worthy of much
wider use and if more of us did
not think in terms of greenhouse
grown roses we could more thor
oughly enjoy them. They are low
growing, hardy, disease resistant
and free-flowering. Their clustered
flower sprays are freely produced
throughout the season. There are
many varieties to choose from-Else
Poulsen, Kristen Poulsen, Cameo,
Chatillon, Gloria Mundi. Improved
Lafayette, Gruss an Aachen, Don
aid Prior. Topaz, etc.
Then there are the old-faShioned
roses, the rugosas and rugosa hybrids
and the species Many excellent
roses are in this section and mention
can be made of only a few Several
of the hybrid rugosa roses are espe-
cially desirable, having long season
of bloom and resistance to disease
and insect pests. Sarah Van Fleet,
bright pink, blooms all season and
does not blue" Hugonis, Zanthina
and Primula are excellent early flow
ering species that do best in the
shrub border where they can be left
alone for they resent coddling.
Even the common root-stock upon
which most of our hybrid-teas are
budded makes a splendid showing
in the shrubbery border or on banks
where it may spread at will. The
small white flowers, resembling
blackberry blossoms, are produced
in profusion.
There is really only one reason
why Washingtonians should not
have roses in their yards-shade
Otherwise, by buying live (dormant)
bushes and planting them in we'll
prepared beds We may all have
roses.

Use Material
Thought of
AS Waste
Have Compost Pile
That Will Later
Improve Soil
By the Master Gardener

We are all straining every faculty
to eliminate waste-to make the best
possible use of every bit of raw ma
terial, finished product or by-pro-
duct that comes into our possession
It's going to give many of us
much needed lesson In thrift :. we
Americans who have so blithely fol-
lowed the principle there's always
more where that came from q.
whether we referred to natural re-
sources, manufactured product or
labor.
In the garden. too. we are learning
to take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to use what we formerly con-
sidered waste. Of course, there has
been always the careful, thrifty
gardener who reigiously saved each
tiny piece of discarded vegetation, to
be put into a compost pile. there to
decompose thoroughly and eventu-
ally furnish the excellent organic
material that universally improves
soil.
So you gardeners who haven't
been following the practice of having
a compost pile get busy. Put those
grass clippings on it, dump those
carrot tops, outer cabbage leaves
and other vegetable trimmings on,
tiny branches that have been
pinched from chrysanthemums E.
throw them all on the compost heap
and get that glowing feeling that so
many Americans are experiencing in
salvaging and putting to good use
something that may have been
formerly wasted.
To hasten decomposition. to lessen
odors and to make the compost
much more valuable to you in your
gardening, do this: When you have
a 6-inch or 8-inch layer of material
in the pile sprinkle on the material
layer of plant food, then cover the
plant food with an inch of good
garden loan. Repeat alternate lay
ers of compost material. plant food
and loam. Water the compost pile
occasionally to keep it in a moist
condition.

Marigolds Have Few
Rivals for Variety
In Growth Habit

For variety In size and stem
length, for warmth and cheeriness
in color, for profusion in blooms
and for splendid keeping qualities
as a cut flower. the marigold has
few rivals. This splendid annual
blooms from midsummer until frost,
and may even be made to bloom
much longer by planting the seeds
indoors in the very early spring.
Natives of New Mexico and
South America, the marigolds have
been hybridized till they grow in
many forms ranging in sizes be-
tween the tiny border types and
the tall African or Aztec varieties.
The colors range through the
shades of yellow, rust, brownish and
reddish tones, and the blossoms are
both single and double and in many
different forms, such as the newer
carnation- -fiowered and chrysanthe-
mum -flowered types.
If given a sunny location they
will thrive in any garden soil, the
French varieties rather preferring
a poor soil, as too much plant food
encourages a rank growth of foliage
at the expense of the flowers.
An entire bed of marigolds ar
ranged according to height will
make a. fine display. Space the
dwarf plants in the foreground
about inches apart, the medium
sized French varieties about IL
inches apart, and the tall African
varieties in the background about
1S inches apart. These will need
stalking to keep them in an upright
position.
The marigold withstands flower
garden pests better than most an
nuals. and makes fine showing
either in the garden or In bouquets
in the house.
To save your own seeds be sure
to note and tag the finest blos-
SONS, and then let them thoroughly
ripen on the plants.

Companion Cropping
Makes Use of All
Available Space

To use every foot of available gar
den room it is often advisable to
plant companion crops, which make
a quick growth and mature early
between the rows of later vegetables.
Those which grow quickly may be
removed and used before the later
varieties are large enough to re-
growth and cultivation.
Early bush beans or beets grown
for use as greens may be planted
between the rows of squash. melons
or cucumbers. Radishes and the
leafy lettuce may be planted be-
tween the cabbage rows. The rad
ishes are ready first. then the let
tuce may be used, and finally the
cabbage may be allowed to occupy
the entire area as it grows and
develops. Very early peas may be
planted between rows of celery or
parsnips which will not develop
until fall. Other companion crops
will suggest themselves to each
gardener. Be sure to study the soil
requirements and cultural necessi-
ties of each, however, to be sure to
plant those which will grow well
together.
To plan succession crops select
some which mature very early and
can be entirely removed from the
ground before 1t Is time to plant
the later sorts. or plant some Quick
growing vegetable after an early
crop has been removed. Early beets,
lettuce, radishes. peas or spinach
may be followed by late cabbage,
celery, Brussels sprouts or cauli-
flower, or one early crop may be
followed by another quick-growing
one such as bush beans, spinach,
sweet corn or a late planting of
cucumbers to be used for pickles, or
beets or turnips to be used as
greens.
