This Week in the Garden

Cool nights and fall rains have
continued to produce many excel
lent dahlias.
= The chrysanthemums are COM
ing along in fine shape and prom
ise colorful borders in the near
future.
The rose entries at the recent
flower shows have been excep-
tionally fine.
All of which points to the value
of adequate moisture and good
growing weather to the health
and yigor of our garden flowers.
Summer heat and deficient mois-
ture supplies, unless counteracted
with watering and mulches. tend
to check the growth OF many kinds
of plants. More of us should
mulch our gardens and all should
use more mulching material. The
cheapest source of a good mulch
is the compost pile-better make
a big one this fall.
Bulb planting speeds up in Oc-
tober. Plant the bulbs as soon as
available so as not to lose any
more of their vitality than neces-
sary. Bulbs dry out quickly in
warm. dry places, which reduces
their vitality.
Bulbs seldom benefit by heavy
feeding. Most kinds, and espe-
cially tulips, do best if planted in
soil that has been enriched with
compost and bone meal. Heavy
feeding normally causes bulbs to
divide and produce several small
stems rather than one large one.
Deep planting of bulbs tends to
prevent multiplication. But 1t is
seldom wise to plant them deeply
unless the depth of the bed is
correspondingly increased. Tulips
have been planted II inches deep
and thrived.
Conversely. shallow planting en-
courages multiplication and for
the commercial grower is a nor
NAL practice. The gardener, how
ever, is seldom interested in do
ing more than getting production
of choice flowers for as many
years as possible. For him, plant
ing at the standard depth is de-
sirable.

require too much effort. It Is
hardly safe to name specifically
any one of the $50 ornamental
crabs of North America as being
unsuited for Jelly making. The
only way to know is to try using
the fruit.
The variation in the pectin con-
tent is not the only deviation that
comes with seedlings. They vary
in foliage. stature and color. A
purchased tree may not exactly
coincide with the catalogue de-
scription; but unless we have our
heart set on a particular shade of
blossom and fruit, this deviation
should not be too serious. for
nearly all of the Towering crabs
are mass Of bloom in the early
spring.
Scoring for Beauty.
The general beauty of the flow
|ering crabapple is we'll Illustrated
by the scoring of P. j. Van Melle,
who approaches the problem most
scientifically with a score card.
Out of a possible score of 10 for
floral effect, he scores only 2 out
of II kinds as low as 7. Five are
rated 8 and the others 9. A SIM
liar scoring for foliage value and
for decorative fruit gives about
the same high results. He penal
ICES the Prairie crab (M. ioensis)
because of its susceptibility to the
cedar rust and hence it has the
the lowest score of the IL.
Crabapples to be most effective
should be planted singly as speci-
mems. If planted in groups allow
sufficient space so that they may
develop naturally, Some of the
stronger growing need to be
spaced as much as 80 feet apart.
The smallest will need Is feet.
The Towering crabs thrive in
full sun. and with the exception
of the Southern crab will with
stand exposure to cold winds.
They resent shade and are not
happy in partial shade.
Heavy feelings should be
avoided as it stimulates rank
growth and suckering. In poor,
dry soils they stunt, although wet
soils are to be avoided. In other
words they do best under average
soil conditions.
The Towering crabs are one of
the favorite foods of the Japanese
beetle, the codling moth and scale
insects. The Japanese beetles and
the codling moth are easily con-
trolled with DDT. A dormant
spray in the late winter may be
used to control scale insects. For
fruit production, however, a petal
fall spray and one or two others
are necessary for worm free,
sound fruit follow the apple
spray chart issued by the Mary
land Extension Seryice).

For Flowers, Fruits and Jelly
Crabapples Fine for Decorative Effect;
They Grow Best When Well Spaced
By w. H. Younqmon
Sorden Editor

IN his search for a small orna-
mental tree for the city yard,
the home gardener more often
than not overlooks Towering crab
apples. The crabapples are worthy
of wider attention because they
are available in variety OF sizes,
shapes, color of flowers and orna-
mental fruits. They are hardy
and not more subject to disease
and insect pests than other orna-
mentals.
Any apple that is small and
highly acid is commonly referred
to as crahapple. However. it's
use should be limited to those
with a high pectin content. those
suitable for jelly making. Today,
the term crabapple is also applied
to most small fruited species, hy-
brids and varieties which are val
liable for decorative uses.
The choice of a crabapple tree
for the backyard, or the front
yard, should be Influenced by the
type of home, the size of the yard,
the color of flowers and other con-
siderations. Some Of the crab
apples, for example, have a low
spreading habit of growth, some
are upright tall trees and few.
such as the Siberian crab. make
large trees. The foliage of one
or two has reddish tinge. Two
have splendid double flowers.
Most of the ornamental crabs
flower early in the season. There
are really no midseason boomers
and only one, the Prairie crab
(Malus ioensis), puts forth its
blossoms late in the season.
Those For Jelly Making.
If we include the fruits as a
factor in our selection we may
well add to our list three or four
varieties which are commonly
listed for jelly-making purposes.
Hedrick of the Geneva Expert
ment Station highly recommends
Dolgo, a small tree producing OBJ
long red apples that make a rich,
ruby-red jelly of fine flavor. Young
America is another and Hyslop,
an old timer, is in his list but
not mine because it is most sus-
.1-%;Llo - firob1ioI,f
Florence, which is better
known in the Midwest, is often
mentioned as being desirable be-.
cause of its small stature. After
all, most gardeners are not inter-
ested in producing crabs by the
bushel. A peck is more than the
average housewife uses in a
season.
The chief objection to the
Siberian crab (M. baccatta) is its
large size and the litter of fallen
crabapples on the ground. Hopa,
q product of North Dakota, has
foliage with purplish tinge early
in the season, large purplish red
flowers and the fruits carry the
purple shade inside and out.
Not all the Towering crabs make
good jelly. Those high in pectin
do, of course, make excellent jelly,

AS rapidly as space is cleared in
the garden it is well to SOW a
cover crop which will prevent the
soil from washing and add humus
to it. Common rye grass Gan an
nuaD, hairy vetch and Abruzzi
Rye are standard crops for this
purpose. The rye and vetch may
be planted as late as November
but late paintings do not make the
desired top growth unless planted
In October.
It is time to begin securely tying
the long canes Of climbing roses
as well as other vines so that they
will not break loose and whip
about in winter winds. Stout cord
is most commonly used for this
purpose but raffia. insulated cop
per wire and other materials may
be used. They should be flexible
and not so small or sharp edged
as to injure the bark.
It is not too early to begin
shifting small plants of lettuce,
endive, Chinese cabbage. etc., into
the co1dframe. Prepare the soil
with an ample supply of sand and
compost. adding a quart Of 5-10-5
fertilizer for each so square feet
of bed. Plants given a good start
now will continue to grow and will
mature after freezing weather sets
in. Keep the frames open except
on frosty nights. Sun shining on
closed frames will raise the tenn
peratures high enough to injure
the plants.
Dig glad corms as soon as the
foliage natures. Ismene lilies may
be lifted now, although there is
no especial need to take them up
until just before freezing weather.
Dahlias should not be lifted until
after a frost kills the tops.
Dry the corms and bulbs in an
airy space before attempting to
store. Treat gladiolus corms with
DDT to control thrips.
Pot up a few bulbs for forcing.
Tulips (single early), hyacinths.
crocus and daffodils are most
commonly used for this purpose
Crocus and others are just as USE
full. Try a few this winter.
