Feeding Trees
Is Beneficial

In reviewing an excellent new
book which has recently been is
sued concerning the maintenance Of
shade trees, I was not at all sur
prised to note the emphasis placed
on feeding as q preventive Of disease.
The author, specialist in dis
eases Of trees, reiterates through
out the book that feeding promotes
health and vigor in a tree and acts
as an effective preventive against
disease. However, the reader is
warned by the author against ex-
cessive feeding.
Feeding Is mentioned as being q
helpful factor In the control or
prevention Of canker. wood decay.
willis, leaf bhghts, some fungus
troubles that cause die-back, and

Force Lachenalia
For Winter
Bloom
Good Substitute
For Scarce
Hyacinfhs

1t you're looking for a substitute
for the now scarce hyacinth for
forcing for winter bloom, try the
various species and varieties of
lachenalia, or Capecowslip. Lache-
nalias, which have been quite popu-
lar in Europe for number of years.
are easy to force for winter flower
ing and are we'll worth growing.
The spikes resemble those of hya-
clnths, except that they have fewer
bells and these are more dropping.
Although the flowers vary in color,
most of them are yellow or red.
Lachenalias may be potted any
time from August to November and
kept in cold frame or some other
cool storage place until the roots are
well developed. Then they may be
brought into greenhouse or placed
in a window. They will flower very
nicely in the winter according to
the time they are brought in. Those
brought in early will bloom for
Christmas. You can generally use
two or three bulbs in a 5-inch pot,
and perhaps more. The bulbs may
be saved and will flower from year
to year provided you let the foliage
riper well in light window and
summer them in the pots in the dry
stage.
Lachenalia bulbs are now being
grown on the Pacific Coast, for all
bulbs that come from South Africa
generally do we'll there. They are
propagated by offsets or by seeds.
Many OF the bulb dealers offer tt m
IN their catalogues, and those who
do not would be glad to get them for
you.
