James Bryce. head gardener of the
Dumbarton Oaks estate in George
town, is giving garden leaders of the
American Womens Voluntary Serv-
ices demonstrations in the elemen-
tarv techniques of gardening
About a dozen women stood about
in the warm sunshine yesterday
watched every move and asked
countless questions. Mr.. Bryce was
working with two of his fellow men,
bers in the Washington section of
the National Association of Garden
ers his assistant, Matthew M. Kear-
ney. and Owen J. LIE Provost. gar
dener at the A. M. Lothrop estate
in nearby Virginia.
So interested were the women
that they made him promise to give
a demonstration in spading and
other work of soil preparation on
Sunday morning for their husbands,
The demonstration will be at $50
o'clock and men interested in the
Victory garden movement are well
come to attend.
Plot Is Sunken Garden.
The plot used is the slnken gar
den of the old estate now owned by
Harvard University. The space be-
tween the stone walls and f1agstone
walks is about the size of the typi-
cal victory garden plot. No pillow
was used to break the soil Profess
sional gardeners scorn use of the
pillow even for fairly good-sized,
spaces.
In this connection. Mr.. Bryce said,
would-be gardeners should not des-
pair because it is impossible to get
plows and plowmen in the city to
turn the many vacant lots made
available to gardeners. Even if a
plot was plowed, which does make
it easier. he would go over it with
a spade or fork. A plot is best
prepared that is spaded, he said,

It's a good rule for an amateur
to put the seed in at depth four

seed itself" he told them.

owner of the estate, has offered a
