lation in floral beauty. With reason
able care they still establish them
selves as permanent residents in the
garden. Unlike tulips, they do not
have to be dug up each year; they
can stay right where they have been
planted for as long as five years.
When they are finally dug for re-
planting, they will have increased
considerably and the gardener will
have many more bulbs than he
started with. Since narcissus make
root growth early, fall is the time
to provide them with small amount
of fertilizer.
This is one of the best seasons
of the year to transplant woody
ornamentals, particularly broad
leaved evergreens such as rhodo-
dendrons, azaleas, and mountain
laurel, and narrow leaved ever
greens such as hemlocks, pines,
spruces, and retinosporas. OF course
the soil must be moist, so that the
plants can be moved with a ball
OF soil about their roots, and mois-
| ture must be present to enable them
to establish themselves. Evergreens
should have at least six weeks be-
tween the time they are planted
and the time the soil freezes to be-
come established and prepared to
Withstand the winter They should

Trophy Honors
Best Ddhlid
In Show

At the combined Rose, Dahlia,
and Victory Garden Show being
sponsored by the Potomac Rose So
ciety, the National Capital Dahlia
Society. and the Takoma Hcrti-
cultural Club, on Saturday and
Sunday, September Is and 26, at
the Takoma School Hall, Dahlia
street end Piney Branch road, Ia
koma Park, D. C., the coveted presi-
dents trophy, donated by the presi-
dent of the National Capital Dah-
liza Society, will be awarded to the
Best Dahlia in the Show"
Each year amateur and profess
sional dahlia growers alike hope for
the honor of growing the bloom that
will be judged best in show" and
win for them the much-sought
presidents trophy. The bloom
judged best in show" is selected
by the judges from all dahlia entries.
Making their selection has not been
an easy task for the judges in the
past, due to the quantity and quail
ity Of the dahlias exhibited. To
have ones bloom selected from
among thousands as the most per-
feet is indeed an honor and reason
enough for the JOY and elation of
the grower. Who the honor will GO
to this year only the future will
divulge, but novice, amateur, and
professional growers all have an
equal opportunity.
Plan to exhibit at the Rose, Dah-
liza, and Victory Garden Show
whether it be roses, dahlias, other
flowers, or fruits and vegetables
Your entries are welcome and a
large committee will be on hand to
help and advise all exhibitors.

Home Grown
tomatoes
Differ

The Department of Agriculture
has its Victory garden enthusiasts
the same as any other organization
and they take their gardening just
as seriously. Recently one of the
ex-dirt farmers, to prove his quail
fications, brought in specimen of
his gardening efforts, a tomato
weighing over three pounds. This
tomato caught the eye of an econ
omist and the next day he showed
up with a tiny little tomato weigh
ing slightly less than one half
ounce. The economist contended
that a we'll ripened, evenly colored,
smooth tomato was superior to the
giant fruit displayed by the dirt
gardener. Perhaps some judges
might be swayed by the argument
but most gardeners believe that
weight and size count a lot.
The ex-dirt farmer, C. D. Walker,
assistant director of the Southern
Division, AAA, admitted that he
really takes tomato growing seri-
ously. Each hole is deeply dug and
the top soil mixed with Well-rotted
manure which is then carefully
tamped and soaked before the plants
are set out. This sort of care paid
dividends this year when the aver
age garden soil dried out and the
plants either died or were so stunted
as to be unproductive. A soil we'll
supplied with humus and deeply dug
withstood the drought as we'll as
could be expected where water
could not be supplied.
The economist, L. A. Reynoldson,
also of the AAA, confessed that his
specimen was not the highly recon-
mended Rutgers or a Marglobe
stunted by drought but a Cherry
tomato. He, like many others, dis
likes the folds in the skin of the
Ponderosa and similar varieties
However, he admitted that the
variety, Rich Meat, displayed by
I Mr.. Walker, was superior to the
usual strain of the Ponderosa which
is noted for it's uneven ripenine
deep folds in the skin and lack OF
| symmetry.

sufficient to pull them through
the drought.
Newly planted trees and shrubs
within the past year-will need care
for they have not as yet had time
to develop an extensive root sys-
tenn, one that will provide enough
moisture in times such as these.
Here again, the basin method of
water application is effective. If
the soil was we'll enriched with
humus before planting the newly
set trees may be better able to sur
vlve the effects of the drought than
old established paintings.
1t is too late to plant crimson
ctoDer for l0inter coUer crop
and green manure. At this late
season it 7Uill probably be de-
Sirable to Wait and plant rve and
Uetch. With the shortage of
commercial fertilizers and the
current scarcity and high prices
OF animal manures We should do
everything possible to build up
our soils. Green manures are
one OF the cheapest and best
available methods for the home
gardener.
The early planting of daffodil
bulbs is recommended since these
hardy, early Towering, dependable
plants make an early root growth
Hence, they should be planted much
earlier than tulips and crocus. Dig
the soil deeply and incorporate a
small handful of bone meal down
where the roots can reach it. Space
the bulbs six inches apart and most
OF them should be placed 4 to 6
inches deep.
As soon as the rains come and
soak our pdrched soils Ue should
attempt to plant as mann crops
as possible for the fall garden.
There is still time to plant kale,
jail turnips, lettuce, spinach, en-
dine and an early maturing
Ddrtety OF beets.

Our old friend the crabgrass is

amount of summer pruning, largely
on the theory that too much vine
growth and foliage takes from the
fruit. This seems to be a debatable
theory and is not widely recon-
mended However, in the small
garden it is we'll to pinch back the
side shoots before they become too
long and get in the way.
Summer cultivation is seldom
practiced although fertilizing and
control of weeds will help to insure
choice fruit. However, in this area
most gardeners are satisfied if they
can protect the foliage from the
Japanese beetles and the fruit from
the bees and wasps. And, strangely
enough where, this is done most
grape vines produce generous crops
of delicious fruit, and that is all the
reward any gardener can want.

March, considerable time before
the sap starts to flow. The main
canes are selected and all side
branches are removed with the ex-
ception OF one or two buds. This
should result in three or four long
canes with numerous short spurs.
Each spur should have at least one
bud, preferably two. These are the
buds that send out the new side
branches that will bear the fruit
crop for the coming season. If too
many buds are left larger number
OF new shoots will appear and more
fruit clusters will form than the
roots can supply with food and mois-

Bees and wasps ordinarily attack
the rlpening fruit, singing the ber-

the only satisfactory preventive of
this injury is to cover the punches
with paper bags while the berries
are still green and small This is
quite chore, but it results in such

Leaves for the Garden Notebook

The peach tree borer is one of the
most destructive insects attacking
peach, plum and cherry trees. They
may be prevented by digging the
soil about the base of the tree in
late September or early October
and spreading a ring of paradi-
chlorobenzine crystals at least IL
inches out from the trunk. The soil
is then pulled over the crystals and
mounded around the tree trunk. 1t
is not safe to use this treatment on
trees under 4 years of age. A
newer method and one that is
effective at lower temperatures is
the Ethylene dichloride emulsion.
Gardeners will find it desirable to
buy the emulsion already prepared
and to follow the manufacturer
directions.

and national, will be among the
major items to be acted upon.
