Victory Garden
Office Ne1Vs
Morton Franklin, supervisor

/ j. Morton Franklin, supervisor
says:
/ Due to the large increase in pop
ulation in the District of Columbia
and the concentration of this popu-
lation in the newer apartments and
housing developments. where there
is little or no available land for gar
dening. definite need has been
built up for the establishment OF
community gardens to take care of
those who wish to take part in the
very patriotic movement of Victory
Gardens.
The Victory Garden Office is most
anxious to be of the greatest pos
sible assistance to these would
be gardeners. In order to render
efficient aid it will be necessary for
the supervisor to have definite re-
liable information as to the number
of families in these housing develop
ments who wish to garden. With
this information in hand the super
visor can look for suitable sized areas
within reasonable distance of each
development While it will not be
possible in all cases to find close at
hand an area suitable in size and
with usable soil. every effort will be
made to arrange for such a COM
munity garden
The best method for making such
arrangements would be for the
gardeners of each housing develop
ment or apartments to have meet
ing as soon as possible at which they
would elect one person as chair
man to act as their representative to
work with the supervisor of gardens
This plan has been very successfully
carried out in some of the areas al
ready. 1t is urged that this plan be
inaugurated Immediately and report
made to the supervisor of the Victory
Garden Office, 458 Indiana avenue

BY ". H. Youngman,
Garden Editor.

In selecting vegetable varieties for
the home garden 1t is desirable to
choose those most likely to produce
a high quality product under local
conditions. We have definite soil and
climatic conditions in this area un-
der which not all varieties do equally
well. The pole bean, Blue Lake for
example. Is Of the highest quality,
but it does not do at all we'll under
Eastern growing conditions. For this
reason local gardeners with expert
ence grow the well-known Kentucky
Wonder. even though the crop is not
OF as high quality as desired.
II is only common sense for the
home gardener who goes to the effort
necessary to grow garden to want
those varieties that are productive,
of good flavor. tender and nutritious,
and If possible, resistant to disease
Fortunately the home gardener has
many individual experiences to guide
his selection as well as the results
Of comprehensive tests made by the
University Of Maryland and by the
United States Horticultural Re-
search Center at Beltsville Md. These
tests provide us with a list of pro-
ductive varieties of the highest quail
ity. Armed with this information
the home gardener need not fall
victim to the high-powered sales
manship OF the gayly illustrated seed
catalog.
This does not imply that there is
only the "one" variety. Fortunately
there are several for most vegetables
Take tomatoes, for instance, the rec
commended varieties are Marglobe.
Rutgers and Pan-America All are
disease resistant, the fruits ripen
we'll and are smooth free from
cracks and creases). Golden Jubilee,
a golden colored variety, is probably
the best Of the so-called yellow to-
matoes. - ~..-
D1sease-resistant cabbage varieties
fincmde Golden Acre, Marion Mar

Bridge
By Frank B. Lord.

The war orphans scholarship
fund, which Is sponsored by the
American Contract Bridge League,
Wes made Sl33 richer as a result of
the game conducted last Sunday at
the Wardman Park Hotel by the
women's auxiliary OF the Washing
ton Bridge League. That sum was
realized after deduction was made
for the generous prizes awarded to
the winners along with the master
points offered by the ACBL.
The event was held in two ses-
sions, and there were 10 tables in
play. The afternoon session was
closely contested, only a single point
separating the four leaders. Mrs.
Breckenridge Long and Nine.
Georges Poulieff were first with a
score Of 1884,, and Immediately be-
hind them were Gene Hermann and
Mrs. Irene Surguy with 1888. Henry
Stearman and Charles Johnson,
with only half point less, were
tied for third place with Mrs. H. c.
White and Roy Thurtell.
The evening session saw marked
change in the standing, when three
other pairs that had been low in
the afternoon came from behind and
took the places respectively held by
those who were in front at the aft
ernoon session. They were A. I.
Westrich and, H. r. King with a
score Of 29l.9, first; 1t. M. Callan
and r. Johnson, second, 267, and
Henry Stearman and Charles john
son, who continued to hold third
place with 1927. while Mrs. Peyton
Blamire and Mrs. C. E. Meisner won
fourth position with 261.8.
The combined totals for the two
sessions gave first prize to Mr..
Westrich and Mr.. King. They had
romped away in the second heat
with such high score that the
others were unable to overtake
them. Their aggregate score was
53l.3. Second were Mr.. Stearman
and Charles johnson with 525.2.
Mrs Blamire and Mrs. Meisner were
third with 5l9.3. and Mrs. White
and Mr.. Thurtell fourth with 509.5.
Paul E. Golden acted as director.
The money raised will be devoted
to the purchase of War Bonds for
the scholarship fund, which in turn
will be used to aid in the education
of war orphans.
The National Press Club duplicate
players celebrated Valentine Day
with a game at the club headquar-
ters in which the leaders we're Ned
Brooks and j. B. Latta. There was
a three-Way tie for. second place
The pairs were Frank B. Lord and
Miss Grace Maddox. Miss Madge
Watkins and Mrs. William B. Hogan,
jr, and Jay Sourwine and Ray Kerr.
Only slight relative change was
made in the standing of the teams
Iof the Federal Bridge League as a
result OF the session held at the
Wardman Park Hotel last, Tuesday
evening. The Westerners retained
their lead and remained one board
ahead of the Bees.
