The hay is in, 226 bales Of 1t,
and we are now getting ready to
reseed the meadow. We like les
pedeza, which gives only one cut
ting a season, but we will need
more hay next year. and so We
are going to try trick.
We will plant the lespedeza field
this fall to timothy and clover
and will seed lespedeza on the
clover next spring. The theory is
that we can take a cutting Of
clover-timothy hay in the spring,
Craze down the aftermath, and
get a cutting of lespedeza again
late next summer.
Should give us two kinds of hay
and twice the yield off the same
field. We hope it will work.

Life in the Country.
by james birchfieId

The longer I live in the country
the more I am convinced that We
have it all over the people who
must live cooped-up in the
crowded cities.
Take libraries. for example. If
you live in Washington and want
to read a certain late novel or a
book that tells the inside story of
Russia, you must either push your
way into a bookstore to purchase
the volume or spend considerable
time getting to and from a public
library.
Now in Loudoun County we
have a far better system. The
library comes to us. We just sit
on the porch, looking over the
front part of our 40 Virginia acres,
and soon up drives Jean Caulkin
and her bookmobile. Then we all
crowd out-dogS, cats, KIDS ana
all.
Our bookmobile is a new one,
and is something special. There
are shelves inside for books and
room to browse about. There is
a desk for the librarian and places
for her records, just like you find
in a regular library.
When the library comes to our
house, as it does every other Tues
day, it is a great occasion. Even
John. our 3-year-old, takes part.
He makes his own selections from
those on the children's shelf, de-
pending entirely on color. He has
now switched from red books to
blue ones. finding them more sat-
isfactory over a long pull.
This color business is not bad

Gloxinia-Beauty From Brazil
Propagate From Cuttings, Seeds, Tubers;
Plants Make Snowy Windows
By Wilbur H. Younemon

| soil mixture may feel light and
look dark. The main objective is
to obtain a soil mixture that is
fairly retentive of moisture but
one from which excess moisture
drains quickly.
Gloxinia seedlings may be start
ed from seed Sown in January or
in February. The seedlings are
especially subject to damping- off
and hence should be started in
medium which is free from this
disease germ. In sterilized soil
spaghnum moss or vermiculite,
the damping-off fungus is less
likely to be a problem. Avoid
moistening the foliage and do
not let the sun strike the young
plants.
Transplant the Seedlings.
| AS soon as the seedlings are
large enough to handle they
should be lifted and placed in q
inch pots or placed inches apart
in a fiat. The next shift should
be into 4-inch pots. 1t is inter-
esting to note that gloxinia grow
ers never advocate keeping the
plants pot-bound. GloXinias grown
from seed usually flower in late
summer or early fall.
Growing gloXinias from tuberS
is again possible with tubers i'm
ported from Holland and Bel
GUM. The tubers should be
potted up in late winter-early
February for June bloom. Some
growers begin potting in late
January and pot every two weeks
in order to provide for a success
sion of bloom. The beginner
might we'll start with two or
three pots in early February.
Place the tuber in 4-inch pot
or a 5-inch blub pan. The soil
mixture described above is used
and the tubers are covered with
an inch of soil. At first the soil
is barely moistened. but as soon
as growth begins more moisture
is required. Some gloxinia grow
ers try to hold the temperature
down to about 60 degrees or the
first month of growth. They
keep the plants in an east win
dow, which at that season per-
mits comparatively little sunlight.
AS soon as several leaves have
developed warmer situation
seems to be desirable but about
the same amount of sunlight.
Watering is via the pot saucer or
a short soaking in pan OF water
the foliage should be kept dry.
Additional Notes on Care.
After the Towering season most
gardeners gradually withhold
moisture until the foliage ripens
and the plants become dormant.
Storage may be done in several
ways. One, the pots may be turned
on their sides in a dim, dry place.
Two, the tubers may have the soil
removed by washing and then be
stored in a box of sand or peat
moss. Winter storage tempera-
lures should be between As degrees
and so degrees. Examine the
stored tubers occasionally and If
shriveling is apparent moisten
very slightly.
When the tubers are left in the
pot, it is usually desirable to re-
move the top layer of soil at start
ing time and replace with fresh
soil enriched with bone meal. Re
moving the soil through washing
and reporting is. however, con-
sidered the better practice.
Gloxinia tubers may be retained
and lowered for several years,
although the best blooms come
from Land 2-year-old tubers.

Among the Europeans, gloxinla
culture has long been favored
probably because of the brilliantly
colored flowers. Here compare
lively few house plant growers
have tried these beauties from
Brazil. The gloxinia is not diff
cult to grow and once the knack
of handling them, or perhaps
should say, an understanding OF
their simple requirements is gained
they become an important part OF
the window collection.
The Towering season for the
gloxinia, from June to August OF
September, is such that they are
not especially important to the
gardener with a yard full of bloom
but for the indoor gardener they
are important and well worth ad-
ding to the plant collection.
Gloxinias may be grown from
cuttings, from seed, or from tub
ers. They do not require much ir
the way OF sunlight but they dc
need window where light is moi
too restricted. Full sun should
not strike a young cutting or seed
ling, especially if the foliage ha!
Inadvertently been moistened
Another point in favor of the
gloxinia is that it does not require
such low temperatures as many Of
our house plants, but it does like
an atmosphere that has moderate
to high humidity.
How to Start Cuttings.
Cuttings taken during or shortly
after the Towering period are
most likely to root and develop
into husky plants. The cutting
which consists of a medium Sizec
leaf and a piece of stem, is PLACED
in clean, sharp sand. vermiculite
or fly ash. If a small enough poi
is used for the leaf cuttings they
may be covered with fruit jar
It is essential that they have
relatively high humidity during
this period. If the inside OF the
jar becomes too logged up with
moisture it should be removed fol
a few minutes, but not long
enough for the leaf cutting to dry
out. When the cutting produces
a rosette of young leaves the COW
ering jar may be removed and the
young plant should then be trans
planted to the standard soil mix
ture for gloxinias.
This consists Of peat moss, l
part sand and 1 part garden loan.
Expert growers prefer to use fairly
coarse leafmold or rotted COM

This Week in
the Garden

September is the real beginning
of fall gardening activity. Plant
ing and pruning of evergreens
should be completed as early as
possible.
Reseeding and seeding OF lawns
is best done at this season of the
year and should not be delayed
longer than necessary. Fertilizing
of lawns is important if they are
to make a pleasing appearance
this fall and early winter.
Plant peonies and daffodils this
month.
Order tulips, hyacinths and the
small spring Towering bulbs for
October planting.
Order shrubs and trees for No
vember planting.
Seeds of several of the hardy
ANIMALS may be planted this
month-especially larkspur, Nj
CELIA and bachelors button.
Crimson clover may be planted
now as a winter cover crop in the
vegetable garden. Plant in be-
tween the rows of vegetables, cul-
tivating the seed into the soil.
1t is not too late to sow lettuce,
spinach and radish seed.
The late blight of tomatoes has
been conspicuous by it's absence
in local gardens this year for the
first time in three years.
The local Office of the Bureau OF
Entomology and Plant Quarantine
reports that the first shipments
of bulbs have been arriving, Col
chicum, Madonna lilies and fall
Towering crocus have arrived.
These are now available in some
of the local stores and should go
into the ground at once.
One interesting item reported
is that shipment of Lilium speci-
SCUM rubrum was received from
Japan. Prewar Japan was an i'm
portant source of lily bulbs. This
is the first shipment received from
that source since 1941. Tulip. DAT
fodil and hyacinth bulbs are not
expected before the end of Sep
tember.
Keep the chrysantheniums wat
cred, cultivated and fortified for

Dig gladiolus corms as rapidly
as the foliage natures. Leaving
them in the ground once the foil
age has ripened is apt to lead to
loss of corms.
Remove sweetcorn stalks as soon
as the ears have been harvested
The stalks may either be chopped
up and placed in the compost pile
or they may be burned. In any
event treat them so that they will
