Layering
Roses
Ru A. C.. Mclean

Amateur gardeners viii ind
layering a practical method OF
propagating shrubs and roses,
and this Is the ideal time OF the
year to do it.
The process consists Of bend
ing a branch into a groove made
into the ground, holding 1t down
with a piece of bent wire. stick
or a large stone, and then COW
ering the branch and filling in
the groove with soil. A covering
Of 8 inches of soil Is sufficient.
Growth can be hastened by slit
ting the branch on the underside
with a sharp knife at the point
where branch and soil meet. II
this is done, care must be taken
not to cut SO deep that the
branch breaks. The idea is to
keep it Joined to the parent plant
and covered with moist soil, thus
maintaining the life necessary to
the formation of a new set OF
roots.
This type of layering is easy
with plants having flexible
branches, or with climbers. But
1t sometimes Is difficult with
stiff -branched plants. The easiest
way to propagate these is by
mound layering. Build a box
around the plant and I'LL it with
soil to a depth that will cover the
branches you wish to root. Those
that are under 2 years old win
root most easily. Root tissues
will form on these soil-covered
branches. Do not be concerned
If some of them have not rooted
by fall-they will root eventually.
AS soon as we'll rooted, they are
separated from the parent plant
and set out.
This method of mound layering
has been used successfully in
nurseries for magnolias and other
hard-stemmed materials. In
fact, layering in its various forms
has proved a much simpler and
more satisfactory method Of
propagation than the use Of cut
tings.

Hero Who Vanished !
After Attacking Tank
Now on Way Home

WnEl Ifts AidA E4lCC 0dttdld vi al =
rived in this country last week, he
was able to fill In some of the gaps
surrounding the story Of his dis
appearance In action in France.
Six months ago he was reported
missing in action and not until he
was liberated from a prison camp
| In March did his parents. Mr.. and
Mrs. Vincent Saccardi. 4815 Seven
teenth street NV, know for sure
that he was still alive. They had
never been informed that Pvt.
Saccardi was taken prisoner after
he was reported missing last De-
cember IS.
On that date, his parents learned,
the young soldiers company was
opposed by enemy armor. 1t was
reported that he alone charged a
tank with a bazooka and was
knocked down by enemy machine
gun fire. Another soldier, rs yards
away, witnessed the action but was
unable to get near him because of
the enemy fire and was forced to
withdraw. Two days later, search
of the same area was made which
revealed the bazooka Pvt. Saccardi
had been carrying but no trace Of
him was found.
In German Hospital.
A buddy in Pvt. Saccardi's COM
pany added more details to the in
formation received from the War
Department by the family. He
wrote that when a bazooka unit
was sent out to knock out the
panzer outfit that was opposing the
company, Pvt. Saccardi, upon his
own courage" dropped his rife,
seized the bazooka Of q fallen man
and then waited for the enemy
machine-gun fire to cease. Then
he rose, started across the opening
covered by the Nazi guns. They
opened fire sooner than he antici-
pated. Pvt. Saccardi fell and was
never seen again in Europe by his
company.
Believed by many to be dead, Pvt.
Saccardi was in German hospital.
After his liberation, he was flown
to Paris, where he regained all of
the As pounds he lost during his
captivity.
Shortly after he arrived In Paris,
he arranged a meeting with his
brother, 1t. Vincent Saccardi Of the
9th Air Force. They were together
about 10 days before 1t. Saccardi's
outfit was transferred to Belgium.
This was the second time he had
met brother overseas. In Novem-
ber, 1914, shortly before going to
the front, Pvt. Saccardi and his
brother, Capt. William T. Saccardi,
had a reunion in England.
Trades Pen for Bread.
During his Imprisonment, Pvt.
Saccardi was forced TO trade a
fountain pen for a half loaf of Ger
man bread, he told his parents. The
Nazis tried to take his wrist watch
from him when he was wounded,
he said, but he refused to give 1t
up. He was offered six loaves of
bread for the watch later, but again
refused, because 1t was given to
him by his parents.
A fourth son of the Saccardi FAM
ily to see overseas service, Capt.
Carmin C. Saccardi. U. S. M. c. R.,
is expected to be home at the same
time as his younger brother Clar-
ence. Capt. Saccardi recently was
returned from the Pacific.
A graduate of Roosevelt High
School, Pvt. Saccardi attended
Georgetown University before en-
tering the service. His three BROTH
ers in the service all were gradu-
ated from Georgetown, and his
younger brother Donald Is student
at the GEORGETOWN Prep School.

Memorial Trees

Elsewhere on this page is a letter from
Lindsay Russell proposing that the Wrights-
vile highway be lined with trees Gas a fitting
and lasting tribute to our boys who have serv-
ed overseas"
The project deserves more than passing at
tention.
It would be splendid undertaking for one
or all of the cty's wonaen's organizations.
After the former World war the women OF
Sarasota, Florida planted stretch OF the
main approach from the east with water oaks
at the base of which they placed small mark
ers bearing the name of a Sarasota soldier,
During the intervening years the trees have
grown into an impressive frame for the thor
oughfare besides providing a lasting mem
orial to the city's heroes as Mr.. Russell urges
for the beach highway.
With cooperation from the highway COM
mission and the state department of agricul-
ture, the Federation of Women's Clubs in Ala
bama some years ago Undertook to line all
main highways in the state with water oaks
The project was too big to be completely Sue
cessful. There were too many miles of main
highways. Young trees could not be obtained
for all, and nursing those set out involved
more work than could be done But on stretch
es where requirements were available n
maintenance was continuous, the results were
gratifying
The Alabama project is mentioned to empha-
size that as in Sarasota the water, or laurel,
oak was used. Mr.. Russell suggests live oaks,
dogwood or crepe myrtle for the Wrights-
vile highway. The live oak is slow of growth
and generally unruly 1t spreads irregularly
and needs more room than. a. roadside can
provide. Dogwood is unrivaled in beauty
while blooming but after the blossoms disap-
pear is just another tree. Crepe Myrtle too
is beautiful in bloom but has no distinctive
feature when the flowers are gone. On the
other. hand, the water oak grows with great
uniformity. Its merits should be carefully con-
sidered for the Wrightsville highway project

Johnson Reappointed

Edward johnson's reappointnent as general
manager of the Metropolitan Opera Associa-
ton for another two years will be welcome by
musical America.
It will prove particularly gratifying to young
singers who aspire to an operate career. For
it has been Mr.. Johnson's policy through.
out the decade in which he has occupied this
post to encourage American vocalists to pur.
ste their studies with a contract with the Me-
ropolitan as their goal, an effort in which the
has been eminently successful.
Under his administration more American
men and women have taken leading roles in
Metropolitan performances than in any previ
GUS period of equal duration since the opera
house was opened.
May the two coming years bring ever in
creasng success to the Metropolitan, to Mr.
Johnson to our young singers.
