day, Mr.. Scammell will be assisted
by Neils Hansen. former president
of the Potomac Society and chair
man Of the nominations commit
tee Of the American Rose Society
The following is from the news
letter of the Society:
Since the spores Of canker
fungi are likely to be present
at any time Of the year and can
be spread on the pruning knife
or shears, it is important to dip
the blade in an antiseptic solution
between cuts, or at any rate after
each cut through cankered tissue
(purplish blotches with an EYE
are indications of canker infec-
tom. Dehatured alcohol is ef-
fective - excess should, how
ever, be wiped off the blade before
making a new cut. - Rose stems
heal cuts naturally as trees dc
except at the very base. 1t is
highly important, therefore. that
the cut surface be promptly sealed
with 4 waterproof cover to pre-
vent drying out and, whenever
pith is exposed, to prevent the
entrance of the sawfly."

It looks like I'll never learn

Young Fruit Trees
Require Fertilizer

Care should be exercised when
young fruit trees are moved from
the nursery to an orchard or yard
where soil fertility and other con-
ditions may be less favorable.
DR.. A. Lee Schrader of the Uni
versity of Maryland horticulture
department said when trees are
dug for shipment, part of the root
system is lost. 1t is most impor-
tant that soil conditions be made
as favorable as possible to aid new
root development and mineral in
take.
After a new fruit tree has been
properly planted. DR.. Schrader
recommended application of a
mixed fertilizer, such as 7-7-7 or
10-10-10. about two weeks after
growth starts and again about one
month later. Use l pound Of fer
tilizer per tree, applied to the soil
surface. but not closer than 6
inches to the tree trunk. A straw
or hay mulch to which some ma
nure is added will help, but keep
the mulch IL inches from the tree

Rose Pruning Today
To Conclude Series
OF Potomac Society

A third rose pruning demonstra-
ton Of the Potomac Rose Society
will be held this afternoon at 2:30
at the home of A. C. Barrett, 47l9
Brandywine street NV. The
Barrett gardens include a wide
assortment of plants several years
old such as would be found in
most established gardens. Pruning
of tea roses and climbers will be
given attention as well.
The Barretts have more than
400 rose plants and each year
their garden is a showplace.
Last Sundays demonstration at
the Arlington Memorial Rose
Garden was attended by more
than $50. including many men,
bers of Virginia clubs.
Again the necessity Of removing
all diseased and damaged wood
was stressed. The cut ends OF
canes should be protected with
pruning paint or scientifically pre-
pared adhesive to keep out the
sawfly which drills into the ends

'Pelletized' Seeds

SEEDS that pack their own
lunch" are to be featured at the
Philadelphia Flower Show tomor-
row through Saturday. In a
patented process called "pelletiz-
ing" seeds are whirled at high
speed in a spherical chamber
filed with such items as DDT,
calomel, mercurials or lead-ar-
senate, vitamin B-1. phosphate
indol- l-butyric- acid or potash.
The coating dissolves with less
moisture than is required to ger
inmate the seeds. It protects
them from cold and permits
earlier outdoor planting. 1t also
promotes stronger roots and
healthier plants and encourages
faster growth.
