Hollyhocks

Sooner or later hollyhocks be-
come infested with rust. The best
method to prevent the rust gaining
a foothold is to dust the plants with
sulphur twice week during the
season. A mixture made up Of nine
parts OF sulphur and one part Of
arsenate Of lead Is more effective
than sulphur alone. Rotenone can
be substituted for the lead arsenate
with excellent results.

To Help Growth

Sweet peas, pahsies and all other
ANIMALS should have the withered
flowers removed each day. This will
keep the plant clean and prevent
the formation of seeds. Sweet
alyssum will be benefited If it is cut
back severely with the shears when
the blooms wither. New growth soon
will produce new supply of flowers.

New Varieties of
Common Plant
Are Available
Popular Perennial
Is Easily Groom
And ColorfuI
By A. C.. Mclean

That well-known weed. along the
road side, Hemerocalhs or daylily,
should soon become one of our most
popular perennials for many new
varieties in pleasing colors and
shades have been recently developed.
1t is one Of our best summer bloom
ing perennials, easy to grow and
practically free from insect and
disease troubles.
Almost every one knows this plant
as the Tawny Daylily (Hemerocallis
fulve). 1t is very showy, although
the tawny red color from which it
gets its name. is not particularly
pleasing to most persons. However,
it is practically foolproof to grow,
and is often cultivated along with
the yellow form of similar species.
Plant breeders, working over 4
T period Of many years, have produced
number Of varieties. This work is
being stimulated by the reasearch Of
DR.. Alb. Stout of the New York Bo-
tanical Garden who has produced
many of the new varieties with
blooms Of pleasing shades of red,
salmon pink to almost purple, as well
as tones of orange and yellow. Va
rieties are now being developed by
other breeders in this country and
abroad. With this advancement,
you can now obtain varieties that are
really worthwhile for landscape
planting.
Now is the best time to see the
later varieties of daylilies in bloom.
The early ones, together with a num-
ber of species that bloom as early as
late April to August. It is very diff
f1cult to name the best varieties now
available, as they run.into the hun
dredS and new ones are being in
troduced each year. They are get
ting to be in class with the iris, SO
the best way to make your selection
is to visit large collection and pick
out the types and colors you like.
Make your selection and plant
them any time during August or
September to insure blooms next
year. Late summer Is the best time
to handle the plants, although they
can be transplanted almost any
time. They can be grown from seed,
but this must be of the best varities.
You will get some variation in color
and type from any good strain Of
seed.
Daylilies are fairly satisfactory as
cut-f1owers. The idividual flowers
last only one day, but the stalks will
usually bear blooms for about week
If the withered ones are removed
daily.

Trimming HEDGES

No fixed rule can be laid down
for trimming and shaping hedges,
but it is we'll to confine the cutting
OF the common, so-called California
privet to spring and midsummer.
Late cutting induces the growth Of
new wood, which is more likely to
suffer winter injury.

able as cool nights, warm ground
and adequate rainfall tend to make
growing conditions Ideal for slow,
normal growth, CD Fall-sown
grasses root more deeply and branch
out into q thicker, heavier sod,
whereas by contrast spring-sown
seed develops lush, top-heavy growth
with a weak root system, 90 There
is no competition by weeds in fall as
that is their dormant period, so the
grass gets a good start and by spring
it is far enough ahead to create a
condition of shade that acts as
deterrent to weak growth, and "a

fall than it is in spring.
Five Points to
Remember.
There are five cardinal points to
which consideration must be given
if one is to have beautiful lawn.
A reasonably good soil OF slightly
acid reaction is a prerequisite; good
drainage so that the soil does not
become water-logged and sour; q
well-prepared and well-fertilized
seed bed; and the sowing OF high
quality grass seed at the most favor
able time.
In some instances the question OF
correct drainage may prove prob
lem, but it's solution is all-important
If good lawn is required. When the
soil is not sufficiently pervious, tile
drainage may have to be installed.
or a fill of gravel. cinders or coarse
sand six inches below the surface may
be necessary, or the mixing Of sand
with surface soil may have to be
done to insure good penetration and
drainage of moisture. Too much
drainage, though. is as bad as none
at all, for the soil must have some
water-retention property If the roots
are to thrive. In light sandy soil,
either q proportion OF clay or peat
moss should be worked in. Drainage,
where necessary, may involve grad
ing the surface to permit natural
