Getting the Most From Pansies
Seedlings Going in Now Will Weather
Winter Easily, Provide Early Bloom
By W. H. Younsmon
KI.x

Because pansies are hardy in
the Washington area the seedlings
may be planted in late September
or early October in beds where
they are to bloom next spring. In
fact. it is essential that these
bright-faced spring boomers be
planted in the fall if they are to
thrive and produce the desired
large flowers.
There are half dozen strains
which seem to appeal to local
growers. Oregon Giants are prob
ably better known than Maple
Leaf Giants or Super Swiss Giants.
There are some strains which are
claimed to be even better. Some
color variation may be responsible
for the preference for any one
strain. Steele's Mastodon Jumbo
is claimed to have the largest
flowers, but given good culture
any of these strains will produce
flowers of sufficient size. Named
varieties should be selected where
only a single color Is desired. The
names given are mixtures mere
referred to as strains.
Proper Soil Preparation.
Many local gardeners still re-
member the pansy beds that used
to brighten the Mall in front OF
the old Agricultural Building
They marveled at the bloom but
seldom looked at the soil which
had a good thick layer OF we'll
rotted manure-enough to make
any plant do "its stuff"
While we would like to have a
bountiful supply of well-rotted
manure it Is not essential for gooo
pansies. A liberal mixture OF COM
post is needed to insure an ample
supply of moisture and cool
root-run. # manure is available
it may be worked into the bed at
the time or preparation. Lacking
the real Mccoy" we may use
dried COW manure and CONNER
cal fertilizer.
It is usually the practice to
place trowelful under each
plant as it is placed in the bed,
However, the manure and fertiliz-
er should be placed below the
level of the roots and soil free
from them used to cover the plant
roots.
In more protected sections OF
the city paintings may be made
as late as the first Of November
Elsewhere planting before mid
October is best.
Where space permits it is. de-
sirable to have a bed in sunny
protected situation for earliest
bloom. A second bed in cool or
shaded situation Is nice in that it
provides bloom well into the sum-
mer. Unless there is a prolonged
period of high temperatures and
nc rain, it may provide blooms
into the fall.
Pansy plants for bedding pur-
Evening star., 1949-09-25

poses are normally spaced about 8
inches apart.
It is desirable to spread the
roots carefully and to firm the
soil about them at planting time.
Most have had the soil removed
and the roots are bare. This en-
phasizes the need for prompt and
careful planting. Some watering
is needed. Is the soil is dry the
entire bed should be given a thor
ough soaking. While shading is
beneficial just after planting.
well-planted pansy plants will
usually pull through without it.
The mulching of fall-planted
|pansies is commonly recommend
ed. The use of manure or COM
post will depend upon the mate
rial available. Mulching might
well be deferred until November
or early December. Avoid cover
ing the foliage by lifting the leaves
and pushing the mulching mate
rial under them. Covered leaves
usually rot and are lost.
An early spring feeding with
commercial fertilizer further slim
ulates growth and size of flowers.
Two or three pounds per 100
square feet, worked into the bed
as soon as the soil is dry enough
to be handled, will materially en-
hance the size of bloom.
Some Difference on Fall Bloom.
There is some difference of
opinion as to the propriety of al
lowing fall planted pansies to
bloom in the late fall or early win
ter. No doubt weak or poorly
planted pansy plants will suffer
but healthy vigorous growing
plants should not suffer from the
production of flowers. In fact.
some, who enjoy pansy blooms
during the winter from sheltered
paintings, would think their ef-
forts wasted if the plants did not
produce an abundance Of bloom.
AS implied. pansy plants need
considerable moisture for good
growth, but they will suffer and
fail in a water-logged bed.
For a long Towering season and
healthy growth it is necessary to
keep the spent flowers removed.
If the plants tend to become
"leggy" toward the middle of May
they may be sheared-cut back to
stubs 8 or inches long, perhaps
shorter-and if the weather is not
too hot they will throw new shoots
and continue Towering. After a
shearing we should give them a
light application of fertilizer and,
perhaps, compost mulch.
Choice pansy plants are now
available and the home gardener
will find them much less costly
than the Towering plants sold in
the spring-and, they will pro-
duce more and better blooms.

This Week in
the Garden

Good rains have rejuvenated
lawns and gardens and have given
fall crops a start. Exhibitors in
scheduled flower shows had start
ed to worry lest their flowers and
vegetables lack exhibition quality.
Fall planting Of pansies, bulbs
and perennials should be pushed
along as rapidly as possible. All
of these make fall root growth
which is essential to health and
vigor. It is desirable to get them
into the ground as rapidly as they
are available.
The Bethesda Chevy Chase
Harvest Show display of roses was
outstanding both in number Of en-
tries and quality. Tomatoes were
conspicuous by the small number
of entries. Six fine watermelons
were on display. Forty-two pots
of African violets gave a good in
dication of the color range and the
variation in foliage of this popular
house plant.
Hedges should be pruned for the
last time this fall. For good growth
it is necessary to have the bottom
wider than the top. If the hedge
is showing considerable baroness
at the bottom it may be necessary
to cut it back to q half or one
third. Of it's height to encourage
new growth at the base.

In trench. by pulling soil to the

October may take two weeks or

Now that the peach season is
about over it is well to pull of and
rake up the mummied fruits to
destroy the wintering-over bugs
and diseases. It will take only a
few minutes, but in so doing many
eggs and disease spores will be
destroyed. Deep burying is just as
effective and probably easier than
burning.
BY removing the tops Of aspar-
agus plants and the seed pods
many .unwanted seedlings can be
destroyed. If left uncut the
asparagus seeds will furnish win

1st,. 1948, he was promoted to
Agent at Zion, Illinois.
Milton was born March 2,
1919, at Cudahy, Wisconsin,
the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles L. Lambert of Cudahy.
He attended the Grade and
High Schools there, gradual
ing in the class of 1887; and
went to the University of Wis
consin at Madison, Wisconsin,
for one semester.
Then his uncle, Carl A. Jen-
nerjahn, who is the manager
of a drug company for the
state of California, and locat-
ed at San Francisco, asked
him to come out West and
drive for him personally. His
uncle was in the habit of call
ing on all his customers, on
which his statesmen called reg
ularly, once every other year.
It took him four months driv-
ing in the state of California
only, to visit them all, and the
two covered over 5000 miles.
Milton spent 1888 and 1889
in California.
In 1949 he returned to Wis
consin and worked at the
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1949-08-31

From there he was sent to
Fort Monroe, Va, where he
was to take a refresher course
in combat tactics.
1t was then that in April of
that year the point system
for discharging of Veterans
came out. A soldier needed IS
points to be eligible for dis
charge. "Our Milton" had III
points. So the processing per-
iod started and it was on June
18th, 1916, that Milton Lam
bert was honorably discharged
with the standing of Technical
Sergeant from Fl. Sheridan, Ill.
Upon his discharge he was
given the following decora-
tons: Soldiers Medal; Purple
Heart; Asiatic-Pacific Theatre
Ribbon with three Battle Stars;
American Theatre Ribbon;
American Defense Ribbon; and
the Good Conduct Medal.

MILTON c. LAMBERT
Continued from Page y

The office of the Railway
Express Agency in Zion is To-
Gated in the north end of the
large brick station building of
the Chicago North Western
Railway Depot. Here Mr.. Lam
bert will be only too glad to
see all who wish to express par
GELS to any place at home or
abroad, or give any informa-
ton pertaining thereto, or
about the Express Agency's
travel service. Milton is very
happy to serve the Zion-Ben-
ton customers in expressing
their packages, as we'll as pick
ing them up and delivering
those that arrive in Zion. He
also stated that he was surpris-
ed to note the many shipments
made by Zion people to foreign
lands, excluding consignments
to Canada, - that these ship
ments from here, he believed,
were greater than those sent
from the large city of Milwau-
kee, Wis.
Volunteered for War Service
Mr.. Lambert volunteered for
service in the armed forces of
the United States before the
attack on Pearl Harbor. He was
in the Aleutians at Dutch Har-
Dor at the time. When his con-
signment was sent to Alaska
the government had no perma-
nent quarters for the troops
and they had to pitch tents for
shelter. He recollects very
wildly how their tents blew
down three times before they
were able to secure them rigid
ly enough to the rocky terrain,
so they would remain intact.
The wind meter registered a
wind velocity of 12O miles per
hour at that time.
Milton was 43 months in
overseas duty during the late
war. From Dutch Harbor his
forces took part in the Battles
of Attu and Kiska with the 4th
Army. Then his unit was sent
with the 32nd Division to the
Philippines. "Milt" was con-
nected with headquarters bat
terry as radio, radar and intel
ligence man listed as G-2. In
both battles he was wounded.
So severe were the battle losses
in their unit that when they
received orders to return to
Dutch Harbor from the Philip
pines there were just two men
left from the original group
Milton and a young man from
Chicago.
Receives Orders to Return
To the States
His unit received orders to
return to the United States for
recuperation, and the ship left
Dutch Harbor in December of
1914 on the return trip. How
ever, the ship was torpedoed
and he was fortunate to be CIV
en- a place in one of the life
boats. Scouting planes soon
sighted them and Canadian
patrol boat picked them up
hundred miles off shore. The
men were returned to Dutch
Harbor until January &c, 1916,
when they were sent home on
a delayed enroute furlough of
