Poison Combinations
May Cause Harm

Many OF the plant enemies must
be controlled by spraying, and some-
times Insecticides and fungicides
are combined to save time and labor
for the gardener. Some coubina.
tions are safe to use, but others
will burn the foliage and cause
severe injury. The combinations
used In compounds sold by reliable
dealers are carefully worked out,
and may be used with safety, but
when making combinations at home
or following one kind Of spraying
with another, great caution must
be observed.
Never use lime sulphur mixed with
soap or oil. and never combine an
arsenical with soap. Do not use
Bordeaux mixture, with soaps and
oils.
Lime sulphur is compatible with
lead and calcium arsenates, nicotine
sulphate and flour as a spreader, but
not with Paris green. soaps or oils.
Nicotine sulphate can be used with
any insecticide. fungicide or soap.
Lead and calcium arsenate may
be used in combination with Bor-
deaux mixture, nicotine sulphate,
sulphur sprays and dusts, but not
with soaps or oil sprays.

Fungicide Efficiency
Found by Accident

OF the many fungicides on the
market the oldest and most widely
used is Bordeaux mixture, which is
mentioned frequently on this page,
whose eficiency against plant dis
eases was. discovered entirely by
accident. Some of the worlds finest
wine grapes were formerly grown
near Bordeaux, France, an dto avoid
thefts the vineyardists covered their
vines with a blush mixture OF cop
per sulphate and lime to simulate a
poison. In 1882 scientist noted
that the mixture also protected the
vines on which it was used from
downy mildew, and three years later
Bordeaux mixture was introduced
into the United States.
Prepared mixtures In either paste
or powder form are obtainable. They
require only the addition Of water,
and are both convenient and eco
nomical to use in the small garden.

Maidenhair Tree
Is Somewhat
Uncommon
Very Desirable for
Lawn Because of
Its Hardness

A tree that always attracts at
tention is the ginkgo tree, commonly
know as the maidenhair tree. AL
though not particularly rare, it
is rather uncommon. 1t is a de-
sirable lawn tree for it is hardy
and often grows in odd shapes,
has handsome foliage and is par
ticularly immune to insect troubles
and most diseases.
The ginkgo tree has been in cul-
tivation for centuries in China and
was introduced into the United
States in 1884 This has always
been an interesting tree to the
botanist, for it is q relic of trees
that grew during the coniferous
age in early geologic times and is
one Of the oldest race of plants
now in existence.
1t is know as the maidenhair tree
because the foliage looks somewhat
like a segment of the frond of the
maidenhair fern. 1t is deciduous.
It's flowers, either staminate or
pistillate, are borne on separate
trees. The most desirable are the
staminate trees for the pistillate
plant bears plum like fruit which,
after falling and starting to decay,
is quite odoriferous. In spite of
this, the Chinese eat the fruit and
also the seeds. The kernels are
nutlike with slight resinous flavor
and are edible.
This tree can be obtained from
most nurserymen. 1t is commonly
grown from seeds, although it is
possible to propagate it by cuttings.
1t Is q tree that Is well worth
planting, particularly for lawn spec
linens. 1t is not too large growing
and does not cast dense shade.
There are avenues of these trees
in Washington, which are quite
snowy and illustrate how good they
are for street trees, especially on
narrow thoroughfares, provided only
the staminate form is planted. AS
grown in most places they are
rather medium sized tree, but they
have been known to reach 100 feet
in height.

Some Rules Must
Be Remembered .
In Harvesting
Get Complete Use
OF Crops Grovn
In Garden
By laurence and Edna Blair

By Laurence and Edna Blair
To obtain our vegetables 1t the
very best there are = few simple
rules to be remembered. Soil prep
aration, planting and cultivation all
are important, IS is an intelligent
program Of protection against In
sect pests and diseases, but the
gardener also must know when to
harvest II he IS to get the maximum
use and enjoyment from the crop.
Snap beans should be picked
when the sod surface becomes
smooth, to obtain full size SO they
will be tender and stringless.
Peas are best just as the pods
become full.
Beets, to be most palatable, should
be pulled before they become too
large. Whenever possible make use
Of the tops, as they supply tasty
and nutritious green.
Corn is at its best just as the
ears become full and the silk is
turning brown. It should be cooked
as soon after picking as possible.
Both summer squash and kohlrabi
should be picked and eaten while
the skin still is tender enough to
be punctured easily by the thumb
nail.
Cucumbers are best for table use
before they obtain their full size
50 that the seeds have not devel-
oped fully. =
Cantaloupe and muskmelons
should be picked when the fruit
separates from the vine when lifted
and the blossom end yields to pres
sure OF the thumb
Both kale and Brussels sprouts
are best after frost. Winter cab
bage should be harvested IN late
fall, before freezing weather.
Cut spinach before flower spikes
appear and heading lettuce when
fully developed but before seed
stems form.
Early carrots and turnips should
be pulled and used before they are
fully developed
Carefully gather, cure and dry all
herbs grown in the garden and
store them in clean, alright glass
jars on the kitchen shelf.
Plan to use fresh fruits, when in
season, as DESERTS bake them into
pies and tarts, preserves or dry
them, or make them into jellies
and jams or into fruit juices for
future use.
Cabbage, celery, onions. potatoes,
turnips, beets, carrots, parsnips,
satisfy, pumpkin and squash all may
be stored successfully over winter
by studying the temperatures and
lighting conditions and the amount
OF moisture each requires.
Any surplus of other garden veg
etables may be canned successfully
and stored for winter use, further
relieving the demand on our lin
tied tin supply.
Okra, sweet corn, young peas,
parsley, pumpkin and squash all
can be dried.
There are hundreds OF recipes for
making delicious pickles and
relishes to add zest and variety to
the meals. Obtain some good au-
thority on canning and preserving
and use every ounce of each crop
grown in your garden.

Point on Shrubs

Most Of the shrubs like plenty of
plant food and also like to have
their roots dug around. But rhodo-
dendrons and azaleas resent treat
ment Of this kind. They like an
acid soil, and giving them lime or
any fertilizer which tends to make
the soil sweet does them harm.
Once IN hve or six years they will
profit by q little manure, but for
the most part they get along very
well II the ground under the plants
Is kept covered with leaves the
year around.

Grab Grass

An easy and effective method for
Graduating crab grass from lawns
is to cover the area with tar paper
during the hot days OF midsummer.
The covering Is left on from four
to seven days. If only a little crab
grass is to be found in the lawn, it
can be dug out or gradually killed
by promoting a heavy growth Of
grass with fertilizer and by prevent
ing the formation of seeds. It is a
good plan to rake the lawn before
moving, so that the crab grass will
stand straighter and will be cut by
the mower blades.

English Daisy

Seeds OF the English daisy should
be sown in late July to produce
blooms for next spring. The seeds
San be sown either in an open seed
bed or In q cold frame. A cold
frame IL most satisfactory in most
localities, for the frame not only
protects the seedlings from drying
winds during August but provides
winter protection ~ well.
Evening star., 1942-07-26
When Cutting Flowers

In cutting flowers, always take
long stems, even II q few buds are
sacrificed in SO doing. This will
supply the necessary pruning for
the plant. Pansies must be picked
IN this way or the plants will grow
too rank and sprawly in hot weather.

Dahlia Plants

Many gardeners injure their
dahlia plants by giving them too
much water. Keep them well cul-
tivated, but apply moisture only II
they show signs Of whiting. Then
give them enough to penetrate the
soil for 8 or . inches ut one time.

bracket.
Men who became 10 in July
