Of the old one. A mixture OF oak
leaves and pine needles Is good. A
layer of peat moss Is not desirable
because 1t does not supply the
needed plant food although meet
ing all other requirements.
The oak leaves serve three Inn
portant purposes:
l. They provide an excellent in
sulation material to keep summer
heat from roots.
2. A blanket of leaves helps to re-
duce evaporation and keeps the soil
moist.
8. The rotting leaves release all
the plant food needed.
The fresh layer applied In the
fall prevents the ground from
freezing and permits the roots to
function during much Of the winter,
thus supplying moisture to the
leaves.
II the leaves prove a bit unsightly
to the gardener who must have
things neat and orderly, thin layer
Of compost may be scattered over
them. Or If compost is not avail
able very thin layer OF soil may be
used to hide the leaves, but this
should not be spread until spring
as it mats the leaves and prevents
the circulation of air.
Rhododendrons need watering
only during the spring and flower
ing period. Do not water through
the late summer latter the end Of
August as it tends to produce q
soft lush growth which may not
mature before cold weather. Begin
ming in late November or even later,
it Is desirable to see that there Is
sufficient moisture in the soil to
meet the needs OF the leaves. This
late fall or early winter watering is
seldom needed, but We should be
ready should the need arise.
While rhododendrons thrive in
shade they do not compete success
fully with shallow-rooted trees, such
as elm, maple, beech or willow.
Under deep-rooted trees such as the
oak, hickory, pine and tulip poplar,
they thrive. Thus we. may say that
shade is ideal for them, since it
prolongs the Towering season, but
must qualify the rule by adding so
long as it does not involve COM
petition with shallow-rooted trees.
Rhododendrons need protection
from strong winds. The use of ever
greens, such as spruce or chamecy-
paris on the north and west sides
in exposed situations Is desirable.
If these are not practicable then
windbreak is needed in winter.
Many local gardeners are content

comments are often heard about an
|unthrifty rhododendron, one that
does not flower, or q plant that
seems to be dying although there
are no signs OF insects or disease
Most OF these problems are related
for usually when insect or disease
infestation does appear the chances
are that 1t is related to some faulty
cultural practice which has weak
ened the plant, rendering 1t s,lscep-
tible to attack.
Broadly speaking, most OF our
rhododendron dificulties arise from
too much loving" care. If neg
Ilected and left alone most garden
ers would find their rhododendrons
growing and Towering With vigor
Cultivation is not needed and should
be avoided. The stirring OF the soil
however, shallowly- is apt to iniure
the tender feeding roots, which are
close to the surface Of the ground
Ia good hoeing will injure the roots
so badly that the leaves will lose
their healthy dark green color and
many will die and fall off. Recov-
cry may not come for two or even
three years.
The use of commercial fertilizer Is
seldom needed and then only an
organic material such as cottonseed
meal is recommended. 1t should be
applied only in the spring and In
relatively small amounts. When a
heavy layer Of such material Is ap-
piled there Is danger OF its heating,
perhaps injuring the plant and more
than likely result In waste OF the
plant food.
Some gardeners, knowing that
rhododendrons require an acid soil.
want to apply some acidifying
agent. This is seldom needed in
the Washington area except for
plants that are set too close to the
foundation. Most of the materials
used for this purpose can be and
often are injurious to the rhododen-
drons. II some acidifying agent is
needed use sulphur-either flowers
of sulphur or plain dusting sulphur
very thinly over the
surface of the soil and not as thick
ly as you might sugar your cereal,
but rather in about the same man
ner as you would salt piece Of
meat. Apply sulphur, If needed, in
the spring of the year.
without cultivation or fertiliza-
ton, you may ask what is needed to
make them grow and thrive. The
answer Is simple-a 2 or 8 inch
thick layer of oak leaves in the fall
which should be left to rot down
Do not remove. II necessary use
twigs to hold the leaves in place.
Each fall add a new layer on top

In all the plots some vegetables OF
the same type were seeded progress
sively to allow for different times Of
harvest.
Seed disinfectant is good pre-
caution. 1t reduces the chance of
fungus or bacteria affecting the
young seedlings. Only a small
amount is necessary. Our practice
has been to use a small glass jar
with screw cover; transfer the seed
from the packet (as many as are to
be used at a single planting) to jar;
place small amount of disinfectant
in the jar; shake for half a minute
allowing the powder to adhere to
the seed. Directions on the tube or
package of disinfectant should be
followed; also note any restrictions
as to use on certain kinds of seed.
Popular disinfectants are mex
pensive; their use is well worth the
price.

You, Too, Can Paint!
BY Leon Berkowifx

Program Director, Washington Worksh,
A strawberry stain on a house.
wife's checked apron may be as
much sign of artistic talent as the
crimson oil-paillt smudge on an
artists smock.
The average homemaker has been
intensely aware of color and design
in decorating her home or in setting
a table, without ever stopping to
think that she was just a few steps
away from being able to paint a
picture for her living room wall
Every day each Of us engages in art
experiences without realizing it. For
example, when you select bright
red scarf for dark green spring
outfit, you are doing the same kind
of thinking as the artist who paints
a red barn in green landscape.
Or when you move the furniture
around to make the living room
look more pleasing, you are design
ing, although you just call it spring
cleaning" So if you've ever had the
yen, but were much too shy to at
tempt it-why not try your hand at
painting now?
II can't draw a straight line" may
be your first response. However, it
just isn't necessary to draw straight
lines. Curved lines are easier and
much more enjoyable to make. If
you have ever watched your young
ster put his fingers in f1nger-paint
and then go whirling over the paper,
you will have seen how much more
creative and expressive free lines
are
However, if you just must learn
to draw it's not much different or
less possible than learning to skate
or ride a bicycle. IF you make some
false strokes with the brush at first,
and the model looks strangely unlike
your drawing, just take q tighter
grip on your sense of humor, make
a generous use of the waste basket,
and the experts agree that you will
get better. Your own originals will
crowd grandfather's tintype of the
living room wall sooner than you
anticipate.
