Bright Globehower
Gives Snowy Color

If your perennial border has
rather moist but well drained soil,
partially shaded, and you'd like
some colorful, hardy plants for it
this year, try Trollius or globe
flowers. They produce snowy, long
lasting yellow and orange blooms
which resemble giant buttercups.
European globefower grows about
two feet in height and bears yellow
blooms. One of the best forms is
known as Giant Devonshire. There
are several other named varieties
but some of the handsomest kinds
are the natives of Northeast Asia.
namely Trollius chinensis, japonicus
and asiaticus. These bear yellow
and orange flowers that are very
handsome. One of the easiest of
this class to grow is Ledebouri which
bears beautiful yellow flowers in
early spring.
The globefowers generally bloom
in May or early June. They are
easy to grow if you give them
deep. fertile soil, around the neutral
point in reaction, and which doesn't
dry up during our hot summers.
They will persist for years in such
conditions.

Grow Our Native Plants
Tuberose Was Favorite Once
And Deserves More Use Now

be a joy to raise here. because 1t
will not complain of the hot, humid
weather of this area. The tuberose
opens at the top of long, slender
stem, and since the stalks stand
from 2 to feet high they will
work in nicely as low background.
Be sure to select sound tubers,
green at the top or at least that
show some sign Of life at the grow
ing point. Set them down in WELL
prepared ground about an inch deep
and cover with fine, light soil. To
start them growing earlier, place
the bulbs on a layer of damp moss
indoors-then watch them perk UP
and show their sprouts.
Be thrifty and save bulbs for the
next year by taking them out OF
the ground before frost and storing
them in a warm. dry place-not too
warm. say, about IS to so degrees.
The bulbs must be kept dry and
warm to prevent rotting at the
center.

Hardy Shrub
Gives Good
Effects
Beautybush Bears
Tubular Blooms
Of a Soft Pink

One of the loveliest shrubs for late
spring effect is beautybush. This
valuable shrub is closely related and
quite similar to weigelas, and its Sci
entif1c name is Kolkwitzia amabilis.
1t is a rather new Chinese shrub,
introduced a few years ago, and at
first it enjoyed a lot of popularity.
But this popularity has diminished
and comparatively few people now
appreciate the shrubs real beauty.
Established specimens of Kolkwit-
zia are very profuse bloomers. Their
soft pink buds open into delicate
pink tubular blooms with yellowish
throats. They are about one-third
the size of weigela flowers and are
borne in great profusion. Like
weigela, beautybush belongs to the
honeysuckle family.
This plant Is easy to grow in any
fairly good soil and with abundant
sunlight. 1t is fairly immune to in
sect troubles. Sprays of branches in
bloom are very good for house dec
Grafton and cutting, and the shrub
is refined and beautiful subject in
the border Kolkwitzias should be
pruned after blooming to keep them
in shape and to prevent them from
becoming too tall and spreading for
the average shrub planting.
Practically every home grounds
planting should include a beauty
bush. Most of the nurseries wait
until the public asks for a certain
plant before they add it to their
stock, and people usually ask for
what they know. The average prop
erty owner does not have an oppor-
tunity to learn a great deal about
plants, and SO our horticulturists are
limited accordingly. A great number
of good hardy plants more or less
neglected at present would be taken
up by the horticulturally- interested
public If it could be made to realize
the value and beauty of these for
gotten" trees and shrubs. Kolkwit-
zia is only one of a number of good
things more or less neglected by
amateur gardeners.

Rotation of Crops
Very Necessary
In the Garden

Too much stress can never De
placed on the necessity for contin-
ually rotating crops in the garden.
Various types of vegetables are
known to differ greatly as to their
food requirements and IN the
amount of certain elements which
thew extract from the soil in their
nrocess of growth. If the same type
of crop is planted year after year I'D
the same location the ground WILL
become entirely depleted OF some
essential component.
There are also many plant ols-
eases caused by bacteria or 1ungl
which live in the soil. Some crops
are susceptible to these diseases anu
must be kept out of an injected
area until the disease producing Or
eanism is starved out. In this case
a crop which is immune to the dis
ease can safely be planted IN the
same area. If club root or DlacK
rot are present in the soil, cabbage
and related vegetables should be
grown in a location only once IN
four years; corn smut may be avoid
ed by planting the corn in an area
which was once infected only after
q period Of three years.
In the same garden it is almost
impossible to rotate the crops In a
scientific manner the way they are
handled on large. well-run farms
but by shifting the site for each
vegetable every year many OF tne
dificulties may be overcome.
Roughly, a good general rule to fol-
low is to plant root vegetables one
wear on the piece OF ground where
the rogen-consuming leaf crops
were grown the previous year.

Continuous Bloom
May Be Obtained
From GladiOlus

II the first gladiolus corms are
planted now and successive plant
ingS made at two-week intervals,
continuous bloom may be had from
June until October. They will grow
in the average garden soil but do
best in an enriched sandy loam.
Much of the damage done to the
flower buds and plants is caused
by the tiny thripS. These insects,
which are more numerous during the
hot, dry season, over winter in the
corms and infest new paintings in
the spring. If new stock has been
obtained remove and burn the skins
and soak the bore corms few hours
in solution of 212 ounces of mer-
curial compound to l gallon of wa
ter; let them dry well before plant
ing. During the growing season give
the foliage thorough light spraying
with a mixture consisting of ounce
of tartar emetic, ounces of brown
sugar and 3 gallons of water. Burn
all plant debris in the fall and
spade the land for next seasons
crop.
When preparing the corms for
winter storage place them in card
board boxes or paper bags, adding
l ounce of naphthalene moth flakes
to each 100 corms. Let them stand
for five weeks, then remove the
treated bulbs and store in a cool
place.
In choosing the bulbs (more cor
rectly called corms) for planting,
do not be misled by size Some of
the finest varieties have small bulbs.
If used as cut flowers cut the
spikes when two or three flowers are
open but take little or no foliage, as
the strength for next years corms
is now being developed from the
leaves of the plants.

Ry Apnes TrimbIe

By Agnes Trimble
With world conditions as they are
today, we need the gayety OF fiow-
ers more than ever before. The
first outdoor beauties usually spring
from imported bulbs, and since these
bulbs are very scarce and expensive,
too. why not concentrate on nome
grown bulbs?
Here is a very old favorite to
start twith-Polianthes better known
as tuberoSe.
Polianthes or tuberose Is an ex-
ouisite miniature hlylike blossom,
funnel-shaped with long, creamy
white waxen petals. Like most flow
ers. it has delicious fragrance,
but unlike most white flowers 1t does
not fade quickly. Here is something
else in its favor-the gentlemen like
II. too. 1t makes an ideal bouton-
Mere. The perfume of this flower
is sweet and lasting-it is even more
fragrant in the late evening.
The tuberose was most fashionable
in this country at one time-it was
the orchid and gardenia OF those
DAYS. 1t reached its height in pop
ularity around 1900, at about the
same time that the waxy camellia
and the formal dahlia were still
favorites, too.
1t is interesting to note that there
are more than 100000 tuberose
bulbs grown annually in the United
States, but out of this large num-
Der only small portion are for
home use. About four-flfths OF them
are shipped to Europe, or were be-
fore the war 1t Is readily seen,
therefore, that our old-fashioned
tuberoSe is far more popular across
the ocean than in its native home.
The tuberose was first taken to
Europe sometime before 1880 by a
Catholic priest. 1t seems that the
priests liked this flower SO much
that they refused all requests for its
bulbs until about 1894. Only single
blossoms were known until about
1880. when a double blossom was
developed from seed by La Cour de
Leyden, Holland. He was SO delight
ed with his accomplishment that
for many years he destroyed all OF
his surplus bulbs so as to be the
sole posseSSor Of the double variety.
BY the way, the name is pro-
nounced tuber-ose and not tube
rose. Polianthes belongs to genus
of very few species, perhaps only
one, but it is placed in the sub
family-a category below family
and above genus. The century
plant. Agave, comes under such a
group, too.
The tuberose is seldom seen
around Washington. 1t is, however,
still seen in many Southern gardens
and should be seen growing in all
gardens where the conditions are
suitable to it's particular fancy. 1t
does well in locations where it is
not too cold and where it can have a
fine, light, rich soil to stand in.
The bulbs should be planted in
the spring and not in the fall.
Suppose you try the common tall
growing double variety which
thrives in most sections and will

Tools Needed
For Garden
Are Few
Costly Equipment
May Be Shared
By Neighbors
By Laurence and Edna Blair.

OC Laurence ana EUUu DfuH .
Though most of the seed houses
display and sell much elaborate
equipment for the garden the &C
tual necessities are very simple and
reasonably priced. A good spading
fork, an iron rake, a hoe and line
with two stakes to make straight
rows, a trowel for transplanting
and hand duster and small spray
are sufficient for the average home
garden.
The wheelbarrow, wheel culti-
vator, seed drill, scuffle hoe and
water pressure or compressed-alr
sprayers are useful time-savers in
larger gardens and might be pur-
chased and used jointly by several
neighbors, thus speeding up the
work of the community.
Where grapevines or berry bushes
are grown good pair of pruning
shears is necessity, and pruning
saw Is essential if fruit trees are
grown.
Secure and store young saplings to
serve as bean poles. Save twiggX
brush which accumulates in the
pruning operations to serve as sup
ports for the pea vines. Obtain
strong stakes for the tomato vines,
as tying them up saves space in the
garden. A good supply of soft string,
strips of rags, or bundles of raf11a
will be useful for tying some OF the
vegetables as well as the flowers.
Save old newspapers, bags and
berry boxes to shade newly trans
planted plants, and provide plant
labels to mark different varieties of
vegetables in order to determine
which kind is best in your locality.
A good supply of both humus and
q complete garden fertilizer are es-
sential to the successful growth OF
any garden crop.

Early Shrubs

All the early Towering shrubs
should be trimmed after they have
ceased blooming. Do not leave this
work until next spring. This applies
to spiraeas, weigelas, syringas and
lilacs. The way to trim them is to
get right down to the bottom of
the old stalks and cut them out
entirely, leaving the new wood to
do the Towering. Nothing is &C
complished by going around with
the pruning shears and nipping
of the ends of the branches.
